Vird
"Vird refers to prayers and remembrances recited at specific times daily. It is performed regularly for spiritual benefit."
Spiritual & Deep Meaning
Vird consists of specific prayers, remembrances, or names of Allah that a person should recite daily in Sufism. Sufis believe that vird plays a significant role in an individual's spiritual development. It is generally recommended to be performed in the morning, evening, or at specific intervals. The saying in Bukhari, 'Every kind of good is in remembrance, and every kind of evil is in forgetting,' highlights the importance of vird once again. Vird contributes to balancing an individual's mental and spiritual health and helps them draw closer to Allah. Many groups and orders establish their own unique vird, recommending this worship to their followers. Regular performance of vird strengthens a person spiritually and purifies their heart.
