Salam Alaikum wa Rahmatulah wa Salamulahi ala rasulilah

Hello, I am new to the Tariqah and I don't live near any other brothers of the Tariqah that I know of. My question is when should I recite the Wazifah, and should it be done out loud?

Also if anyone knows of any Tijani Brothers in the Colorado area, and specifically in Colorado Springs. Please direct me to them.

I thank you for your replys,

In Fes in grand zaviya vazifa is resited after asr and magrib, - LOUD, - right after thet lazim - in silens. Lot of branches of tariqa recites wazifah after magrib.

jazaka Allah khair Idris

Do think it should be recited even when one is by himself

As Salaam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah.

Al Hamdulillah for your entry into this Ahmadi-Muhammadi-Ibrahimi-Tijani path. The tariqa of later times. If one is not around any of the brothers of the tariqa, then you must recite the wazifa silently. Only when in Jumat is the wazifa to be recited loudly. The wazifa is attended by the Holy Prophet (may peace and prayers always be on him) His four Khulufa and also Shaykh Ahmad Tijani.

There is one story in Fes during the time of Sidina Shaykh Tijani when certain people did not believe him about this feat of being present during the wazifa. They asked him how can you be present at a wazifa wherever it is recited amongst the Tijani brothren. He answered that Allah has already solved that issue. They asked him what if a wazifa is being done in the East, while another is in the South, while another is in another place what then?
He answered that Allah has already solved that for him. So the micheavous group decided to test him. Seven of them all invited Shaykh Ahmad Tijani to lunch after Zhur salat. Each of them went to him and asked for him to come to his house for lunch, and he accepted.

After Zhur, after lunch time each of the seven men gathered to see which one of them was blessed with the arrival of Shaykh Tijani at his house for the lunch. One man began by saying Shaykh Tijani came to his house and ate lunch. While another man said thats not possible because he was at my house. Another said, No he was at my house. So it turns out that each individual did indeed receive Shaykh Tijani at his house for lunch.
This is one of the fadila of this tariqa. Is that the mureeds of this path are blessed with the companionship of The Holy Prophet, His four Khulafa, and Shaykh Tijani during the wazifa.
The people of Fat'h (Opening) of the tariqa are known to see him and his companions during this wazifa. it should also be known that this is one of the only (if not then few) of the turuq in which it is a obligation of the mureeds if they are in Jumat to have group zikr EVERY DAY.

Another story is that one Shaykh of Mauritania who was of the Qadiri tariqa, had a dream in which he saw the Prophet and his four companions (khulufa) traveling and stopping at his village. The Holy Prophet asked him to prepare an area for him and his companions to do zikr. They then did a group zikr and he awoke. The next day Sidi Mawlud Fall (one of the khalifas of Shaykh Tijani in Mauritania) arrived from traveling and stopped at his village. Sidi Mawlud Fall and his companions then set up tents and an area for zikr and then did the wazifa. The Qadiri Shaykh then noticed that this was the same zikr that he saw the Prophet and His companions doing in his dream the night before. After seeing this he then took the Tijani Tariqa.
This dream was a proof of the Holy Prophet's statement to Shaykh Tijani in daylight vision "Your fuqara are my fuqara, your companions are my companions, your disciples are my disciples, you are my loved one and whoever loves you is my loved one, and whoever takes your wird is free of the Fire and he die only a Wali of Allah."

I do know of some brothers in Colorado. As soon as I get their contact I will inform you.
