Lazimi

In Sufism , the lazimi or wird lazim ( Arabic : ????????? ?????????? ; obligatory litany ) is a regular litany ( wird ) practiced individually by followers ( murids ) in the Tijaniyya order. ^[1]^[2]

Presentation [ edit ]

The Sufi members of the Tijaniyyah order distinguish themselves by a number of practices relating to their spiritual life and their mystical process and itinerary. ^[3]

During the initiation rite to the tariqa order, one murid receives the Tij?n? wird , also called lazimi , from a muqaddam or a sheikh representative of the Sunni order. ^[4]

The muqaddam introduces the initiate ( murid ) to the obligations of order, which include the duty to pronounce and recite the wird lazimi which is a process that generally takes ten to fifteen minutes each morning after Fajr prayer and afternoon after Asr prayer . ^[5]

This ritual is due to the fact that the brotherhood of the Tijaniyya sees in the Ibadates as a prerequisite for zuhd ( asceticism ) which then leads to true and correct faith ( Iman [ ar ] ). ^[6]

It is thus that the lazimi fits into this perception of the Tijaniyya on the faith ( Iman ), and that the faithful members of this Sufi order must agree to recite three obligations of worship: the Lazimi , the Wazifa and the Dhikr Jumu'a ( Arabic : ?????? ??????????? ). ^[7]

Therefore, rigorous attendance at lazimi is the sign of the righteousness ( Istiqama [ ar ] ) of the murid through which he tries to copy and imitate the mystical ways of Muhammad and his Sahaba companions. ^[8]

Practice [ edit ]

The daily practice of reciting lazimi , which has a mandatory ritual aspect, involves the repetitions of specific liturgies having mystical fruits on the qalb of the murid . ^[9]

The lazimi is an individual formula of supplication which includes repetitions of: ^[10]

Istighfar : "'Astaghfiru Ll?h' '" ("I ask God for forgiveness"), 100 times. ^[11]
Prayer for Muhammad called the “ Salat al-Fatih ” (opener's prayer), 100 times. ^[12]
Shahada : “ L? 'il?ha' illa Ll?h ” (“There is no God but Allah”), 100 times. ^[13]

Murids are also to participate collectively in wazifa , which is a litany formula similar to lazimi which is recited and sung in groups, often in a mosque , or zawiya on a daily or weekly basis. ^[14]
