InSufism,thelazimiorwird lazim(Arabic:الْوِرْدُ اللَّازِمُ;obligatory litany) is a regularlitany(wird) practiced individually by followers (murids) in theTijaniyyaorder.[1][2]
Presentation[edit]
TheSufimembers of theTijaniyyahorder distinguish themselves by a number of practices relating to their spiritual life and their mystical process and itinerary.[3]
During the initiation rite to thetariqaorder, onemuridreceives the Tijānīwird,also calledlazimi,from amuqaddamor asheikhrepresentative of theSunniorder.[4]
Themuqaddamintroduces the initiate (murid) to the obligations of order, which include the duty to pronounce and recite thewird lazimiwhich is a process that generally takes ten to fifteen minutes each morning afterFajr prayerand afternoon afterAsr prayer.[5]
This ritual is due to the fact that the brotherhood of the Tijaniyya sees in theIbadatesas a prerequisite forzuhd(asceticism) which then leads to true and correct faith (Iman).[6]
It is thus that thelazimifits into this perception of theTijaniyyaon thefaith(Iman), and that the faithful members of thisSufi ordermust agree to recite three obligations of worship: theLazimi,theWazifaand theDhikr Jumu'a(Arabic:ذِكْرُ الْجُمُعَةِ).[7]
Therefore, rigorous attendance atlazimiis the sign of therighteousness(Istiqama) of themuridthrough which he tries to copy and imitate the mystical ways ofMuhammadand hisSahabacompanions.[8]
Practice[edit]
The daily practice of recitinglazimi,which has a mandatory ritual aspect, involves the repetitions of specific liturgies having mystical fruits on theqalbof themurid.[9]
Thelazimiis an individual formula of supplication which includes repetitions of:[10]
- Istighfar:"'Astaghfiru Llāh' '" ( "I ask God for forgiveness" ), 100 times.[11]
- Prayer for Muhammadcalled the “Salat al-Fatih”(opener's prayer), 100 times.[12]
- Shahada:“Lā 'ilāha' illa Llāh”( “There is no God but Allah” ), 100 times.[13]
Muridsare also to participate collectively inwazifa,which is a litany formula similar tolazimiwhich is recited and sung in groups, often in amosque,orzawiyaon a daily or weekly basis.[14]
