Wird and Zikr - the difference?

what is the difference between the two and where did it originate from?

Peace Dushwari

From what I understand is that Wird is a type of Dzikr prescribed by the practitioner of the heart (Sheikh) for a certain function on a routine basis in order to treat certain ailments of the heart of the follower.

Re: Wird and Zikr - the difference?

In addition ... Wird may also contain poems/Qasidah and Naat/Nasheeds also

well from my point of view both are same

Every Wird is Dzikr but not every Dzikr is Wird. Salat is also Dzikr. Qur'an reading too.
