Peri Invocation (Daveti Perizat) | Havas

The science of Havas (Ilm al-Havas) is a field as old as human history, intriguing, and always captivating. Within the depths of these sciences lie methods of communicating with beings beyond the physical world. One such method is the ancient practice known as “Davet-i Perizat,” aimed at establishing contact with the realm of Peris (fairies or jinn-like beings). So, what is this mysterious invocation, and how is it performed? What steps does it involve, and what requires attention? Let’s open the door to this spiritual journey.

What Is Peri Invocation?

Davet-i Perizat is a specific set of rituals found in the literature of Havas and occult sciences, performed to invite specific spiritual beings known as Peris and to establish a form of agreement or friendship with them. This practice involves intense spiritual preparation, asceticism (riyazet), remembrance (zikr), and supplication (dua). The goal is usually for the invoker to have certain worldly or spiritual needs (hacet) met or to gain a companion from among these beings. However, this is not a simple summoning but a serious spiritual undertaking requiring deep devotion and discipline.

Steps Of The Davet-i Perizat Practice

According to sources, the Davet-i Perizat practice consists of quite arduous and meticulous steps. These steps generally are as follows:

Preparation Phase: Asceticism And Purification

One of the most fundamental requirements of this invocation is a seven-day fast involving asceticism (riyazetli oruç). Asceticism here means not only abstaining from food but also purifying the tongue from gossip, the eyes from forbidden sights, and the heart from evil thoughts – a comprehensive spiritual discipline. During this process, the individual withdraws from worldly distractions and dedicates themselves entirely to spirituality.

• Seclusion (Halvet): The practice is usually carried out in “halvet,” meaning a solitary place isolated from the outside world.
• Fasting: A seven-day ascetic fast is observed. Details of this fast (like abstaining from animal products) often continue into the later stages of the practice.
• Ritual Bath (Ghusl): A full ritual bath (ghusl) is performed daily, paying utmost attention to physical and spiritual cleanliness. This symbolizes both physical purification and spiritual cleansing.

Spiritual Practices: Prayer And Remembrance

Spiritual practices begin after the preparation phase and continue for seven days, forming the core of the invocation:

• Prayer (Namaz): Two rak’ahs of voluntary prayer (nafl namaz) are performed daily for the sake of Allah. This shows that the foundation of the act is servitude to Allah and seeking His pleasure.
• Recitation of Surah Al-Jinn (Kul Uhiye): After the prayer, Surah Al-Jinn is recited 25 times daily for the first six days. Surah Al-Jinn is the chapter in the Holy Quran that describes the jinn listening to the Quran and believing in it, and it is believed to hold a special place in such practices.
• Recitation of the Perizat Azimet: Following the recitation of Surah Al-Jinn, the special “Perizat Azimet” is recited 55 times daily, also for the first six days. Azimets are powerful supplications or oaths believed to activate certain spiritual beings or energies.

Incense To Be Used And Atmosphere

To enhance the spiritual atmosphere of the ritual and facilitate the response of spiritual beings to the invocation, burning specific incenses (buhur) is recommended. The following incenses are typically used in this practice:

• Sandalwood (Sandal): Known for its pleasant fragrance, sandalwood helps create a meditative atmosphere and is frequently used in spiritual work.
• Frankincense (Lüban): Also known as Lüban, frankincense has been used since ancient times in sacred places and rituals as a purifier and enhancer of spiritual connection.
• Agarwood (Öd): Known for its precious and mystical scent, agarwood is preferred for creating a deep spiritual atmosphere and attracting higher energies.

These incenses are burned during the recitations to help prepare the energy of the space.

The Seventh Day: The Climax Of The Invocation

As the seven-day period concludes, the intensity of the invocation increases:

• Recitation of Surah Al-Jinn: On the seventh day, Surah Al-Jinn is recited exactly 41 times.
• Recitation of the Perizat Azimet: The Azimet is repeated exactly 1057 times. These high numbers signify the seriousness of the intention, patience, and the importance given to the invocation.

Following this intense practice of remembrance and supplication, according to Havas sources, it is stated that “light-faced peris” will appear from behind their veils (hijab) and offer greetings.

Surah Al-Jinn (Kul Uhiye): The Key To The Invocation

Surah Al-Jinn, which plays a central role in the Davet-i Perizat practice, is the 72nd chapter of the Holy Quran. It discusses the jinn’s admiration after listening to the Quran, their acceptance of faith, and their conversations among themselves.

Surah Al-Jinn Arabic Script

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

قُلْ اُو۫حِيَ اِلَيَّ اَنَّهُ اسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَقَالُٓوا اِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْاٰنًا عَجَبًاۙ

يَهْد۪ٓي اِلَى الرُّشْدِ فَاٰمَنَّا بِه۪ۜ وَلَنْ نُشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَٓا اَحَدًاۙ

وَاَنَّهُ تَعَالٰى جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا اتَّخَذَ صَاحِبَةً وَلَا وَلَدًاۙ

وَاَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ سَف۪يهُنَا عَلَى اللّٰهِ شَطَطًاۙ

وَاَنَّا ظَنَنَّٓا اَنْ لَنْ تَقُولَ الْاِنْسُ وَالْجِنُّ عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًاۙ

… (The entire Surah is recited)

Meaning Of Surah Al-Jinn (English Translation)

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Say, (O Muhammad), “It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and said, ‘Indeed, we have heard an amazing Qur’an.”

“It guides to the right path, and we have believed in it. And we will never associate with our Lord anyone.”

“And [it teaches] that exalted is the majesty of our Lord; He has not taken a wife or a son.”

“And that our foolish one [Iblis] used to say about Allah an excessive transgression.”

“And we had thought that mankind and the jinn would never speak about Allah a lie.”

… (The entire Surah is recited)

The Surah’s Place In The Science Of Havas

Due to its content being directly related to the realm of jinn, Surah Al-Jinn is frequently used in the science of Havas for works related to jinn, such as invoking them, seeking protection, or repelling harm that might come from them. Its energy is believed to form a bridge with this realm or to have influence over them.

The Perizat Azimet: The Powerful Words Of The Call

Azimet means oath or powerful call. The Perizat Azimet is a special prayer/oath text used to invoke the Peris.

Arabic Text Of The Azimet

عَزَّمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَاَقْسَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا مَلِكَ زُوبَعَة وَيَا مَلِكَ مَيْمُون وَيَا مَلِكَ طُوطَيَّارٍ بِحَقِّ اَسُودٍ مُسْتَطِيعٍ يَا اَنْيَائِيلُ يَا جَبْرَائِيلُ يَا طَيْرَائِيلُ اَنْدَيُوشٍ هَيْقُوشٍ غَمْيُوشٍ اَجِيبُونِي وَاحْضُرُونِي وَاَطِيعُونِي اَجِيبُوا دَاعِيَ اللَّهِ بِحَقِّ آبَاءِ الْعُلْوِيَّةِ وَأُمَّهَاتِ السُّفْلِيَّةِ وَبِحَقِّ اَسْرَارِ الْحُرُوفَاتِ الْمَسْرُورَةِ وَإِلَّا سَلَّمَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ شُواظٌ مِنْ نَارٍ وَنُحَاسٌ فَلَا تَنْتَصِرَانِ الْعَجَلَ الْعَجَلَ الْعَجَلَ

Turkish Transliteration Of The Azimet (Provided for reference, as in the original)

Azzemtü aleyküm ve aksamtü aleyküm ya meliki zûbe-a veya meliki meymûn veya meliki tûtayyârin bi hakki esûdin mustetî-in yâ anyâîl yâ cebrâîl yâ tayrâîl endeyûşin heyqûşin ğamyûşin ecîbûnî vahdurûnî ve etîûnî ecîbû dâiyallâhi bihakki âbâil ulviyyeti ve ümmehâtissüfliyyeti ve bihakki esrâril hurûfâtil mesrûreti ve illâ sellemehullâhu aleyküm şuvâzun min nârin ve nuhâsun felâ tentesirân el acel el acel el acel.

Meaning And Interpretation Of The Azimet (English Translation)

This azimet is a powerful call and oath. It involves swearing upon specific entities (like Malik Zube’a, Malik Maymun, Malik Tutayyar – possibly leaders of jinn or spiritual entity tribes) and invoking higher angelic names (Anyail, Jebrail, Tayrail) and difficult-to-understand, secret names (Endeyushin, Heyqushin, Gamyushin). The call “Respond to the caller of Allah” is reinforced with phrases like “by the right of the celestial fathers and the terrestrial mothers,” and “by the right of the secrets of the hidden/joyful letters.” Finally, it contains a warning, referencing Surah Ar-Rahman, verse 35 (“There will be sent upon you a flame of fire and smoke, and you will not defend yourselves.”), should they fail to respond. The phrase “El acel” (Hasten) emphasizes the urgency of the request. This azimet is a typical example of a qasam (oath) used in Havas terminology to activate specific powers.

Encountering And Agreeing With The Peris

If the ritual is successfully completed, according to the sources, the Peris appear and ask the invoker the reason for their summons: “O dervish, O servant of Allah! Why did you disturb us? Why did you trouble us and bring us here?”

First Contact: Greeting And Request

At this point, the invoker is advised to stand up with great respect and reverence, receive their greetings, and respond as follows: “May the mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you. As you have honored me, may Allah honor you. My need from you is this: let there be friendship between us, and let one among you always stay by my side and be my companion.”

The Peris’ Conditions: Acceptance And Responsibilities

In response to this request, usually one of the Peris steps forward and proposes certain conditions. These conditions are generally based on the invoker maintaining spiritual and physical purity:

1. Being on Allah’s Path: “As long as you remain on the true path of Allah Almighty, I will serve you.” This forms the basis of the entire agreement; staying true to the spiritual path is essential.
2. Abstaining from Animal Products: “You shall not eat animals (hayvanat).” This usually refers to a vegetarian or vegan diet, believed to increase spiritual sensitivity.
3. Avoiding Foul-Smelling Foods: “You shall not eat things with offensive odors like garlic and onion.” It is believed that angels and luminous beings are disturbed by unpleasant smells, hence the avoidance of such foods.
4. Regular Ritual Baths (Ghusl): “You shall perform ghusl every Friday and Thursday.” This aims to maintain a constant state of physical and spiritual cleanliness.
5. Constant Purity (Taharah): “You shall always be in a state of purity (taharah).” This means taking care to be in a state of ablution (wudu).
6. Giving Charity (Sadaqah): “You shall give charity to a poor person before the Friday prayer every week.” This includes social responsibility and generosity alongside spiritual purification.

If these conditions are accepted, the agreement is made, and that Peri begins to fulfill the invoker’s requests. However, if the conditions are not accepted or are later broken, it is stated that all efforts will be in vain.

The Place Of Davet-i Perizat In The Science Of Havas And Points To Consider

Davet-i Perizat is one of the profound and potentially dangerous practices within the science of Havas. Before embarking on such practices, the following points are usually emphasized:

• Qualification and Authorization (Ijazah): It is generally accepted that engaging in such sciences requires the guidance and permission (ijazah) of a qualified spiritual guide (murshid). Works undertaken ignorantly and without authorization are thought to bring more harm than good.
• Purity of Intention (Niyyah): The purpose must be solely for the pleasure of Allah and within the bounds of His permission. Works done out of worldly ambition or intent to harm others are emphasized to backfire.
• Psychological and Spiritual Stability: Such practices require intense concentration, patience, and willpower. It is important for the individual to be psychologically and spiritually prepared for the process.
• Dangers: There are risks involved in contacting unseen realms. Encountering undesirable entities, suffering from whispers (waswasa), or disruption of spiritual balance are potential dangers that should not be overlooked.
• Adherence to Conditions: If an agreement is made, strict adherence to the stipulated conditions is essential. Breaking the agreement may not only lead to the cessation of help but sometimes also to negative consequences.

Final Word

Davet-i Perizat is an intriguing example of occult sciences and ancient wisdom. However, as seen, it is not merely a simple process of repeating certain words. It is an arduous path requiring deep spiritual preparation, unwavering willpower, pure intention, and great responsibility. While such practices evoke curiosity, they can carry risks when approached without qualification and consciousness. The information found in ancient texts reflects the beliefs, practices, and perspectives on the unseen world of that era, holding cultural and historical value. Respect, caution, and thorough research are essential when approaching such topics.
