reaping the harvestZira'at was the last of the five concentrations inspired and created by Hazrat Inayat Khan. It utilizes a ceremony based on the symbology of farming, to represent the unity between the inner work of spiritual realization and stewardship and reverence for life. Its teachings pertain to the purification and training of the mind, the balance of the two aspects of breath, jelal (masculine) and jemal (feminine) and the honoring of the elements.

healing order logoThe healing service is a group prayer circle which asks the divine to heal those who ask for healing, through ritual, prayer and attunement to the Divine Spirit. This service was created by Hazrat Inayat Khan as a way for groups to offer distant healing to those who need it.
