As a muslim its highly contingent to send prayers on the Prophet as instructed by Allah SWT. Series of Salat has been written and recited besides Salat Ibrahimyyat. As the spiritual people of tassawuf do not joke with Salat, each Toriqat seems to hold different Salat in high esteem as recommended by the founder and through the Prophet Muhammed S.A.W
Jawharatul Kamal and Tijaniyyat
Jawharatul Kamal is vastly recited by the people of Tariqat Tijaniyat whose founder is Shaykh Ahmad bn Muhammad At-tijani (RA). The Salat was given to shaykh Ahmad Tijani RA in broad-day light by Prophet Muhammed S.A.W. Toriqat tijaniyat holds this salat in essence of Wazifa been performed every evening preferably between Maghrib and Isha'.
Numerical essence of Jawharatul Kamal
It is righly claimed by gnostics of this tariqat (tijaniyyat) that the salat corroborates with the twelve thousand years of Ibadat of the prophet's Nur before creation. They are also of the view that the Salat has twelve divine statements which are claimed to be the inherent divine virtues of the the prophet SAW. Its also given to the Shaykh in the twelvth century of the hijra.

Will you please talk about the reasons and important of the spread of the white clothes during the wazifa
ReplyDeleteIt has become a tradition among this blessed tijani community from the early years to celebrate the Mohammedian manifestation at the reading of the Prayer of "Jawharat al-Kamal" by laying down a white garment honouring the Ahmedi ascent. The place the first time this ritual has been inaugurated is "Dar Lamraya": the residence of Shaykh Abil Abbas Tijani, may Allah be pleased with him, in the holy city of Fez.
DeleteAllama Sidi Ahmed Sukayraj said in Al-Kawkab al-Wahhaj li-Tawdii'h Dhurrat at-Taj wa 'Ujaalat al-Mu'htaj" (The Fiery Planet in the Commentary of the Inimitable Gemstone),
"It has been authentically related that the prophet peace upon him have laid down his noble dress for his sister (Shayma bint al-Harith) when she visited him with the envoy if the people of Hawazin. The composer of the Hamziya, Imam Sidi Mohammed al-Busairi, referred to this account in his verse:
For her the Chosen laid down his dress,
So great that dress contained of grace.
He also laid down his dress for Dihaya al-Kalbi when he came to submit to Islam Dahiya when cried because of this and lifted the noble dress kissed it and placed it on his head and eyes. We can clearly see from this action a sing of glorification to those the noble dress have been placed down for and since the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) is an example for us to be followed. The disciple should also lay down a garment honouring the presence of the Prophet (peace be upon him) for if we were to lay down ourselves and foreheads on the ground honouring the prophet we would not be blamed."
This is a great comment! Shukran Seyyid for tthis

DeleteTHE TIJANIYYAH DOCTRINES & RITES: 57 QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
By: Dr. Dawoodu Ahmad Adekilekun Tijani
Question 43:
Why do we spread the 'izar, the white piece of cloth on the ground while performing the wazifah or the haylalah?
Answer:
Spreading the white piece of cloth on the ground while performing the wazifah or the haylalah is not an obligatory duty. It is optional. Both the wazifah and the haylalah can be done perfectly without this white piece of cloth being spread.
Spreading the 'izar - the white piece of cloth is only to dignify the wird (litany). It is like the red carpet which is usually spread on the ground while welcoming important dignatories. It is done to dignify them and as a mark of respect and honour.
The 'izar is however to teach some lessons and to inculcate some morals. Here are some of them:
(a) The 'izar is to be spread in preparation for the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his four rightly guided Caliphs and the grand Shaykh Ahmad Tijani, all of whom are expected to join the murids in spirit anywhere the wazifah or the haylalah is done and at anytime. This notion helps the murids to concentrate more on what he or she is doing, and it helps them to keep their minds away from the mundane world. It helps them to shun all the trivialities of this world.
(b) The 'izar is also to teach the murid to observe that just as this white piece of cloth is clean, his mind should be perfectly clean too. And just as any black spot on this white cloth is capable of distracting the attention of those who look at it, any evil deed no matter how very small can render our action unacceptable to God. The murid should endeavor to keep himself clean from all forms of impurities. "Cleanlines is one-half of faith" as the Prophet said.
(c) The murid should view this white piece of cloth before his as the kafan, the white piece of cloth with which the corpse is wrapped before being taken to the burial ground. When a person breathes his last and is wrapped up in a piece of white cloth like this, and buried, the end of him or her has not come. That is the beginning of his or her journey to the hereafter. This journey is certainly longer and more demanding than our journey on earth.
It is when a person dies and is wrapped up in a white piece of cloth and buried that he or she begin to reap the rewards of the good works that he or she has done on earth. A person who fails to do any good works while alive will have nothing to fall upon when that second journey begins - the journey to the hereafter. As the murid keeps his thought on this stage of his life, he prays fervently to God to accept his religious observances from him and grant him security from evil and to grant him pleasure out of His Divine Grace, so that he or she will not be among the losers on the last day.
