Question: Who has the permission to give the Qassam?
The Qasam are the Awrad after the “normal” Awrad. One gets appointed with Qasam after one has received the heart dhikr and was active in Tariqa, and visiting the Zawiya for at least five years. The Qasam is a secret; however the Awrad book as a whole is far from being inferior. One gains a lot if one is hard working in Awrad. One will be protected and will obtain the love and closeness towards the family of the Prophet s.a.w.s, and it will help you with your heart dhikr. One is obligated to read the Qasam regularly, at least seventy times.Because it travels, we do not give it as a gift to one person. In other words, if you read it so often that the angels came down, Mawlana will possibly give you another Qasam and take away the older, because one may not simultaneously read two Qasams. It is the Murshid who will give the permission to read the Qasam. He needs to be certain that the person he wants to give Qasam to is diligently reading Awrad, including Al-Hizbu-s-Saifi at least seven times a day.
