A "Murid" is a term used to describe a follower or disciple in the context of Sufism, particularly within the Tijaniyya and Qadiriyya orders. Murids seek spiritual growth and enlightenment under the guidance of a sheikh, who provides teachings and mentorship. The relationship between a murid and their sheikh is central to their spiritual journey. Muridship involves a commitment to practice and adhere to the teachings of Sufism, including rituals, prayers, and ethical conduct. Murids often participate in communal gatherings and spiritual exercises, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose among followers.
