These are the requirements
The Shaykh who transmits the adkhar should be authorized to do so by proper initiation (talqin) from the founder or by someone who has been properly authorized to do so.
Those who seek initiation must free themselves from the Wird of any other Shaykh which may have been required of them and abandon such a Wird and never return to it.
One must not visit any saints living or dead (implying that the disciple is bound to the one Shaykh who has initiated him).
One must seek to observe the five daily prayers in a group and to fulfill the requirements of the Shari 'a.
One must ceaselessly love the Shaykh until his death, and one must love the successor (Khalifa) to the Shaykh and all that which was close to the Shaykh, such as his chosen followers and his directives, in the same way that one loved the Shaykh.
One must not think that he is secure from the ruses of God.
One must not express any insult, hatred or animosity toward the Shaykh.
One should persevere with the Wird until death.
One must maintain a firm belief (in the Tariqua).
One must remain free from all blameworthy acts.
A disciple should be properly authorized to recite the dhikr through a genuine initiation (talqin) by someone who has received a genuine authorization from the founder or from another authorized person.
One must gather in a group for the recitation of the Wazifa and for the recitation (dhikr) of the Hailalah on Friday afternoon.
One must not recite the (jawhartul-kamal) without performing the ritual ablution with water.
One must refrain from any activities which might result in the rupture of good relations between himself and his fellow men and especially between himself and his brothers in the Tariqa.
One must not be negligent of the Wird, such as delaying it from its proper time, except for good cause.
One must not be pressured to bestow the Wird without a genuine authorization to do so.
One must respect everyone who has been affiliated with Shaykh, especially the eminent members of the Tariqa.
(For the recitation of the dhikr) One must be concerned for the cleanliness of one's clothing and one's person.
One must be concerned for the cleanliness of the place where one is sitting.
One must sit and face the qibla unless one is traveling, one is very close to the Kaa 'ba or one is in a group.
And one must refrain from speaking (words other than the dhikr) unless absolutely necessary.
If one is able, one should envision the image of the founder before him from the beginning of the dhikr until the end, and one should seek assistance from him. What is preferable to that, and more beneficial, more exalted and more accomplished is to envision the prophet.
One should call to mind the meanings of the formulations of the dhikr if one is able to understand them.
I do not think that many of these are part of islam........did rasulallah envisage the sheikh before him whilst reciting dhikr:astag: :astag: :astag: ......NO he didnt. Islam is based on quran and sunnah. Anything other than that is inovation.
We do not worship mohammed (saw) we worship Allah alone!!!!
