Wird al-Latif
Wird al-Latif (Arabic: الورد اللطيف; “The Subtle Litany”) is a concise collection of Qur’anic verses and Prophetic supplications compiled by Imam Abdullah ibn Alawi al-Haddad of Hadramawt. It is a shorter form of his longer litany, Wird al-Kabir, intended to make regular remembrance accessible to those unable to maintain a lengthier recitation. Wird al-Latif is traditionally recited in the morning after Fajr and in the evening after Maghrib. If this is not possible, it may be recited once before midday and once after midday.
