Khatm-ul-Khwajagan
In the Naqshbandi Order, the daily Awrad and the weekly congregational Dhikr, known as Khatm-ul-Khwajagan, are important principles which the murid must not leave. The Khatm-ul-Khwajagan is done sitting with the Shaykh in congregation. This is held once a week, preferably on Thursday night or Friday, two hours before sunset. The Khatm-ul-Khwajagan is of two categories:
- the Long Khatm, much of which is recited silently while counting with stones;
- the Short Khatm, all of which is done aloud.
