| Exorcism session is held in a dimly lit hall at the exorcist's house, and begins with a session of a zikr of the Qadri order. |
| The zikr are only various forms of devotion invented by the Sufi guides to develop the spiritual life. |
| The Sufi dance, zikr, danced in a circle accompanied by chanting and percussion to reach a trance state, also is still practiced. |
| This form of prefacing the zikr is commonly used by almost all orders of darweeshes in Egypt. |
| Part religious ritual, part dance, this is the zikr, a touchstone of Chechen culture. |
| Finally I found myself at a zikr among 80 or so dervishes in a hidden tekke, and they began to chant, rhythmically, the name of Allah. |
