Notes

Description

The prayers become led by a female mullah, of which the tekiye has three. The prayer becomes more a call and response as the mullah prays for individuals (the founder of the Order, Sheikh Abdul-QadirGaylani, for example) and the congregated women respond by, once more lifting their voices up to God.
