Wazifa Zarruqiyya

[1][2] This wazifa was initiated and compiled by the Maliki Sunni Sufi theologian Ahmad Zarruq (1442–1493 CE), the founder of the Zarruqi branch of Shadhili sufism.

[4] This Muslim scholar and sufi sheikh assembled a panoply of Quranic ayahs and prophetic duas dedicated to the morning and night litanies to which the murids must assiduously submit.

[5] Zarruq, who studied in Béjaïa, is well-known in the Muslim world[6] The components of this wazifa were taken from the "Chapter of the morning and evening Adhkar" in the book written by al-Nawawi (1233–1277) entitled Selected Remembrances from the Words of the Master of the Righteous (Adhkar Nawawiyya [ar]).

[10] The recitation begins with the pronunciation of Ta'awwudh then of Basmala followed by Āyah 163 of Surah al-Baqarah.

[13] The content of the wazifa is finally completed with the recitation of the last three verses Āyates 180 to 182 of Surah As-Saaffat.
