The Meaning of the Term "Murid" Among the Sufis

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is meant by the terms *murid* (seeker) and *'arid* (one who turns away)?

Answer:
The *murid* is the student. The student is the *murid* who receives knowledge and the method from his Shaykh. This is the terminology of the Sufis: the Shaykh and the *murid*. We, however, have scholars and their students.
