Wazifa Project News:    'Physicians of the Heart'
      Advance orders for limited hard bound edition are being accepted now.

Ya Rahman! Ya Rahim! Reciting and meditating upon the Qualities of Allah, the 99 Beautiful Names, is a central Sufi practice in our lineage -- opening the way to spiritual growth by way of attunement to the divine qualities living in us. As you may have heard, Murshid Wali Ali, Pir Shabda, Imam Bilal and Faisal Muqaddam and others have been meeting for the past several years to collaborate in the writing of a comprehensive guidebook to the Names, and completion is now in view.

Oh, Great Spirit,
whose voice I hear in the winds
and whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me.
I am small and weak.
I need your strength and wisdom.

Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes
ever behold the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have made
and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand
the things you have taught my people.
Let me learn the lessons you have hidden
in every leaf and rock.

I seek strength, not to be superior to my brother,
but to fight my greatest enemy - myself.
Make me always ready to come to you
with clean hands and straight eyes,
so when life fades, as the fading sunset,
my spirit will come to you
without shame.

Lakota Chief Yellow Lark - 1887
