The content of the prayers includes the names of God, or a dua (prayer of supplication) taken from the hadiths or the Quran. Though common to almost all Sufi orders, some (such as the Naqsbandis) prefer to perform their dhikr silently even in group settings.[31] In addition, most gatherings are held on Thursday or Sunday nights as part of the institutional practices of the tariqah (since Thursday is the night marks the entrance of the Muslim "holy" day of Friday and Sundays are a convenient congregational time in most contemporary societies) though people who don't live near their official zawiya gather whenever is convenient for the most people. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-3650.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-3650.txt
