MUST READ... BASIS OF TIJANIYYA FIQH IMPORTANT INTRODUCTION There are three obligatory litanies (awrad): the Lazim (the Wird), the Wadhifa and the Hadra of the Friday. The Tijaniyya litanies are all based on expressions which come from the Quran and the Sunnah. Reciting them is an inexhaustible source of blessings and neglecting or abandoning them is an open door to misfortunes. The three expressions are: -Asking ALLAH for forgiveness (Istighfar) -Sending Prayers (Salat ala Nabi) upon The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) -The Kalima LA ILAHA ILLALLAH: There is no God but ALLAH The litanies must only be recited with the authorization of a muqaddam whose transmittal channel is authentic. The other conditions of the validity of the mandatory litanies of the Tidjaniya are: -The follower must formulate the intention -The follower must perform ablution with water or Tayyamoun, according to the Sharia rules. - The body, the clothes and the area, must be purified according to the rules of Salat. -The follower is required to cover his body (awrah) the same way as for the Salat. -The disciple must not speak during the mandatory litanies of the Tariqa Tidjaniya, from beginning to end, except through necessity, in which case he may communicate by gestures, and if he is not understood, then he may say one or two words. There are three exceptions to this rule: the follower may speak freely to his parents, the wife (disciple) to her husband, and the follower to his Sheikh (his Muqaddam). The follower must refrain from eating and drinking during the mandatory litanies. Even a little (a sip or what remains between the teeth) invalidates the Lazim, as for the Wadhifa, it is a little more that invalidates it. He who does not meet any one of the above mentioned conditions, his evocations are invalidated and he has to do them again. TO BE CONTINUE.
