(Wadhifa) are general spiritual practices taken from the Holy Qur'an and the practices of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (may the salutations of Allah be upon him and peace). These daily practices can be chosen by the person himself for spiritual and material success and become compulsory upon him to continue with them.. These practices are not necessarily assigned by the Shaykh or Murshid. In certain parts of the world, 'wadhifa' and 'wadha'if' are closely connected to the words 'wird' and 'awrad'.
