Vird
"Vird refers to prayers and dhikrs recited during a specific time period each day. It is performed regularly for spiritual benefit."
Spiritual & Deep Meaning
Vird consists of specific prayers, dhikrs, or names of Allah that a person is required to 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 found in Bukhari, 'Every good is in remembrance, and every evil is in forgetting,' highlights the importance of vird once again. Vird contributes to maintaining balance in an individual's mental and spiritual health and helps them draw closer to Allah. Many groups and orders establish their own vird, recommending this worship to their followers. Regular performance of vird strengthens the individual spiritually and purifies their heart.
