Wazifa
Wazifa is the Sufi practice of reciting and meditating on some or all of the 99 names of Allah.
In Universal Sufism
The qualities of God, which in Universal Sufi terms are the aspects of Nature, can be evoked, understood, felt, and seen through the repetition of Wazifas, the Divine Names and Attributes of God. This is done either aloud or in silent thought, and the Sufi's only duty in this regard is to simply hold the quality itself up so that his or her consciousness can perceive it. Cherags, initiators and dance leaders must learn how to use wazifas as a psychological prescription to meet the needs of the individual Sufis or groups of Sufis who are their mureeds. Each mureed must learn to recognize divine attributes, both their place in nature and their function in the self and in others. The repeated phrases which follow some of the daily prayers are Wazifas.
