Description: Collective ritual. Disciples have to follow certain rules of conduct and spiritual exercises in order to progress towards God and to elevate themselves to the ranks of the pure. Men gather beneath the Burhani banner during the long night of Holiya to begin the ritual of Hadra, also known as Dhikr, from midnight until dawn. Disciples arranged in rows perform increasingly rapid rhythmic movements. They begin with a semi-circular motion from right to left and continue upright while flexing their legs. Dhikr is the spiritual method consisting of incantation of the name of Allah together with these specific movements. The objective of Dhikr is to purify the hearts of disciples and to bring them to a subtle and refined state of ecstasy. Women do not participate directly in Dhikr but allow themselves to be absorbed by the melodies sung by the Munshidin who cast a spell over this holy night. Khartoum, Sudan.
