Wird

The wird (plural: awrād) is a regular litany and a mystical invocation practiced by murids, saliks and wasils in Islamic sufism.

[1] In Sufism, the murid's transformation and salvation is done by the practice of special disciplines such as performance of dhikr, remembrance of Allah and his prophet Muhammad, and wird as special invocations, and Quranic recitations, or doing Salah.

[6] Wird is like a spiritual medication taken by the murid every day under a sheikh supervision and named wazifa.

[7] The most effective medication for the disease of ghaflah (heedlessness) is the dhikr performed in the form of wird.

[8] The target in sufism is to awake the qalb from ghaflah and bond it to almighty Allah, thus achieving eternal peace.
