The name \u201c<em>wadhawanu<\/em>\u201d means add or increase.

After he appointed Al-Dai Al-Ajal Maulana Mohammed Burhanuddin<sup>RA<\/sup> his <em>ma\u2019zoon<\/em> and <em>mansoos<\/em>, it was customary that <em>wadhawanu<\/em> was done for both; the <em>Dai<\/em> and his <em>mansoos<\/em>. Maulana Taher Saifuddin<sup>RA<\/sup> would direct the person doing <em>wadhawanu<\/em> for him to repeat the <em>rasam<\/em> for his <em>mansoos<\/em> in his presence.<\/p>\n<p>We witnessed the same tradition being followed for Al-Dai Al-Ajal Maulana Aali Qadr Mufaddal Saifuddin<sup>TUS<\/sup> after he was appointed <em>mansoos<\/em> by Al-Dai Al-Ajal Maulana Mohammed Burhanuddin<sup>RA<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>Equally important here to mention is that it is our staunch belief that <em>wadhawani<\/em> <em>rasam<\/em> is being done for <em>Daiz<\/em> <em>Zamaan<\/em> and for none other in his presence except for his <em>mansoos<\/em> (unless directed otherwise by the Dai himself).
