Lazimi

[1][2] 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.

[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]).

[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] 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.
