supports: Ahmad al - Alawi ( 1869 -- 14 July 1934 ) , ( Arabic :      ) , was the founder of a popular modern Sufi order , the Darqawiyya Alawiyya , a branch of the Darqawi , Shadhili tariqa . Murid is a Sufi term meaning "committed one" from the root meaning "willpower" or "self-esteem". It refers to a person who is committed to a "murshid" (spiritual guide) in a "tariqa" (spiritual path) of Sufism. Also known as a "salik" or a seeker, a "murid" is an initiate into the mystic philosophy of Sufism. When the seeker makes a pledge ("bay'ah") to a "murshid" the seeker becomes initiated as a "murid". The initiation process is known as "`ahd" or "bai'ath". Before initiation, a "murid" is guided and taught by a "murshid" or "Pir" who must first accept the initiate as his or her disciple. Throughout the instruction period, the "murid" typically experiences visions and dreams during personal spiritual exercises. These visions are interpreted by the "murshid". A common practice among the early Sufi orders, was to grant a "khirqa" or a robe to the "murid" upon the initiation or after he had progressed through a series of increasingly difficult and significant tasks on the path of mystical development. This practice is not very common now. "Murids" often receive books of instruction from "murshids" and often accompany itinerant "murshids" on their wanderings. The Shadhili Tariqa is a Sufi order of Sunni Islam founded by Abul Hasan Ali ash-Shadhili of Morocco. Followers (Arabic "murids", "seekers") of the Shadhiliya are known as Shadhilis. Morocco (', lit.
