INTRODUCTION

The Khulah compiled by abb Umar bin Muammad


bin Slim bin af is a distinctive collation of Remembrances
- Qurnic Suwar, litanies, supplications and selected poems.
These forms of devotional articulations are intended to bring us
nearer to the ONE REALITY, ALLH , hence the title The
Cream of Remembrance. The word cream suggests that this
is the finest selection of supplications and invocations of the
Divine Names and Being. The Qurn refers to this
remembrance in the following verse: Remember the Name of
your Lord, and devote yourself to Him wholeheartedly. [Srah
Muzzammil (73), Verse 8]. The merits and profundity of
remembrance, is also encapsulated in the following adth:
Shall I not inform you of the best of your actions, and purest
in the eyes of your King; and the loftiest in your grades
(actions) that are better for you than the spending of gold and
silver; and better for you than meeting your enemy and striking
their necks? They said: Yes, indeed, O Messenger of Allh.
He said: The remembrance of Allh. [At-Tirmidh and Ibn
Mja]
The raison detre for this translation and transliteration is
twofold:
the absolute need for English-speaking Muslims to have a
book of such magnitude in their homes, to diligently use it
and to reflect on its contents; and that,

10

it is a specially selected compendium of supplications and


invocations handed down to us from our righteous spiritual
masters.
In order to comform to the original text of the Khulah, we
have opted for the Uthmni Script instead of the IndoPakistani format, in the transcription of the Qurnic Suwar and
Verses.
The second edition of the Khulah has been restructured,
with the blessings of abb Umar bin Muammad bin Slim
bin af, in order to make its reading more user-friendly.
This edition has been divided into units denoting Fajr, Thuhr
etc. This has necessarily entailed repetition of certain Adhkr.
The up-side of this formatation is that there is no necessity to
page to-and-fro as in the original and first edition.
The sentences that are underlined in green must be repeated
thrice (3 times).
For the Qurnic translations we opted for The Holy
Qurn by Yusuf Ali, The Noble Qurn by Drs Muammad
Al-Hilli and Musin Khan and The Qurn by Maulana
Waiduddn Khan. We eliminated, as far as possible, the
supplications Thee, Thou, Knowest and Thinkest etc.
in order to maintain grammatical consistency and desist from
alienating the modern reader. We tried our best to ensure the
combination of an accurate translation and an elegantly
readable rendering of the Khulah.
This translation has valuable endnotes and a glossary to
explain the meanings of untranslatable Arabic words, Islamic
concepts and English terminology. In addition, it provides a
11

brief bibliography of scholars cited, and the sources of some


quotations. Where applicable, the Shamsiyyah format of the
transliteration has been used. It is our opinion, that the use of
this format, will benefit the person who cannot read Arabic. In
order to make it easy for readers from any part of the world to
read the transliteration of the Arabic, we have used, in the
main, the Encyclopedia of Islam (New Edition), with minor
adjustments. As a matter of completion, we have added the
sanad of abb Umar bin Muammad bin Slim bin af (see
appendix 1).
The English meanings are not intended to supplant the
Arabic, as most of the essential devotions, such as alh, are in
Arabic, and a Muslim is required, according to the Sacred Law,
to recite his/her alh in Arabic. The English is merely there to
make the supplications and recitations more meaningful, and to
enable the wayfarer to reflect on the essence of the meanings.
One of the distinctive features of this compilation by
abb Umar bin Muammad bin Slim bin af, is the
manner in which insightful and perceptively chosen Qurnic
verses, are holistically weaved into the supplications,
remembrances and litanies.
Like the declaration of Unity, alh, zakh, fasting and
good deeds, the litanies and supplications are an integral part of
Ibdah and a recognition of our unitive state. They are the
fuel in our wayfaring to Allh the Exalted, and sustenance for
the soul on its journey to self-knowledge and self-awareness.
They connect us with our original self and our human
consciousness. They also narrow the gap between us and the
Divine and enable our inner cosmos to experience the now
12

that moment where duality is nullified and a state of pure


ecstacy and bliss is experienced. Remembrance of Allh the
All-Mighty, is an acknowledgement of His Existence, which is
founded on pure and absolute love. Allh said in a adth
Quds:
I was a Hidden Treasure and I loved to be known, so I
created. Thus, the central and fundamental purpose of
creation, is to know and to love unconditional, unrewarding
love.
We as human beings are not merely flesh, bones cells,
proteins, fats and molecules, but are multi-dimensional beings
that function within a multiple interactive and open system.
Being an open system, we are eternally connected and in
dynamic equilibrium, with the universe of energy and light of
many frequencies. Just as there is a demonstrative relationship
between matter and energy, so too is there an established
relationship between our higher spirit and our physical body.
The multiplicity of sounds (sonic energy of different
frequencies) with their intonations during dhikrullh, is
understood to blight the trapped negative energies (from cell
phones, microwave ovens, food, Jinn etc.) in our bodies, and
replace them with pure positive vibrations, nurturing our
bodies back into a state of balance. The sonic energy created
during the recital of these litanies, is believed to deliver that
needed quantum dose of magneto-electric energy to the human
system, through the scientific process of resonance induction.
It is our hope and prayer that this translated and
transliterated version of the Khulah the Cream of

13

Remembrance will be spiritually gratifying and enriching to


the devotees and wayfarers, on their journeys to Allh .

 


    ). And Allh

Wallhu alamu bi awb (

knows best (regarding its correctness).

A BIOGRAPHY OF ABB UMAR BIN


MUAMMAD BIN SLIM BIN AF
(BORN 1964)

1.

INTRODUCTION

In the Name of Allh, the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.


Blessings and Peace upon the Prophet Muammad, his family
and his Companions.
abb Umar who currently resides in the spiritual and
revered city of Tarm, aramaut, Republic of Yemen, is a
thirty-ninth (39th) generation descendent of the Prophet
Muammad  through usayn  the grandson of the Prophet
. True to the Prophetic teachings, the abb advocates a pure
and universal Islam - i.e. a non-sectarian, non-racial, nondoctrinal Islm.
The Prophet  said: The people of Yemen have come to
you. They are the softest of hearts and the most tender of souls.
mn is that of the Yemenis, and wisdom is Yemenite yonder.
(Narrated by Ab Hurayrah  in a Al-Bukhr)
With their utmost concern for the poor, orphans and downtrodden, and living a life in total and dynamic submission to
the Creator, the abb and his righteous Yemeni forefathers are
a true embodiment of this narration.

2.

SCHOLASTIC AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS

abb Umar is one of the worlds foremost scholars of


Islamic Religious Sciences. This gift from the All-Mighty has
enabled him to draw upon a rich and varied treasure of
knowledge which he passionately uses to spread the message
of Islam. He is also an outstanding academic, and the spiritual
leader of the world-wide B Alaw fi Order. The abb
was raised in a household that cultivated a tradition of Islamic
scholarship and righteousness. It was from his father, the
eminent abb Muammad bin Slim, that he received special
tuition and traditional religious guidance. It was his father who
was largely responsible for his introduction into Islamic
Spirituality (Taawwuf). As part of his on-going training, he
was exposed to circles of knowledge (Ilm), and attended
gatherings of invocation (Dhikr). His grandfathers were highly
respected scholars of their time, and were lauded for their
erudity, their teachings of the Sacred Law, their principles and
ethics, and their dawah. Besides memorising the Qurn at an
early age, abb Umar also memorised the core texts of Fiqh,
adth, the Arabic language, and studied other facets of the
religious sciences.
After his fathers death, the young abb was sent to the
city of Al-Bayda, where he enrolled at the Ribat-Al-Bayda. It
was here that he studied the Traditional Islamic Sciences under
the expert tutelage of the celebrated scholars, abb
Muammad bin Abdullah Al- Haddr and abb Zayn bin
Sumayt , the latter being the distinguished Shafii jurist and
scholar. During his stay at the Ribat-Al-Bayda, the abb
excelled in his studies and distinguished himself as a scholar.

16

Noticing his passion for dawah and his unusual scholastic


abilities, his mentors had no hesitation in appointing him as
one of the teachers at the institute.
In his unquenchable pursuit of knowledge, the abb
temporarily settled in the city of Taizz, where he studied under
the Mufti of Taizz, the esteemed abb Ebrhm bin Aql bin
Yay. It was not long after his visit to Taizz, that abb
Umar set out for Mecca and Medina, to perform the ajj and
visit the grave of our abb Al-Muaf Muammad .
During his sojourn in the ijz, he was blessed to have as a
teacher, the renowned scholar, abb Abdul Qdir bin Amad
Al Saqqf  and, as if by Providence, he was also fortunate to
receive knowledge from two of the illustrious giants of Islam,
abb Amad Masr Al-addd and abb Al-As Alabash. abb Umar also visited Oman which is situated on
the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula. Here he propounded
the objectives and goals of the Sharah (maqsid) and turned
many a heart.
Guided by the All-Mighty, as he always was, it was now
time for the abb to return to the land of his birth. The city of
Al-Shir, situated on the south-eastern part of Yemen, would
be the route that would take the abb back to Tarm in
aramaut. The return of the abb to Tarm, would culminate
in the establishment of the flagship, Dr Al-Muaf. Ever so
conscious of his mission, abb Umar would call the people to
Islam and would humbly and systematically sow the seeds of
piety and erudition in their hearts. For abb Umar, the
ultimate goal of this circuitous journey, was the journey itself;
undertaken
with
love,
tenderness,
self-awareness,

17

determination, humility, hope and an unflinching faith in the


All-Mighty.
3.

ABB UMARS FATHER - MUAMMAD BIN


SLIM BIN HFI: ROLE MODEL AND PILLAR
OF STRENGTH

abb Umars father was greatly instrumental in laying


down the foundations of Islamic scholarship in the young
abb, by exposing him to knowledge of the Qurn and
Sunnah, and inculcating in him, the profundity and importance
of the supplications and invocations.
Sadly, his father was abducted by the Communists, and
martyred; his body never to be found. It is said that
Martyrdom in itself is an honour and a privilege: How
glorious is the fame of amza - The Martyr  and later that of
assan and usayn . With our myopic view of life, we do
not always see the whole of Allhs plan. The keys of life and
death are in the Hands of Allh. The abb who accompanied
his father on that fateful day (of Jumuah) was only left with
his fathers shawl in his hands; this very shawl, which to him,
was to become the shawl of light. Undeterred by this
gruesome attempt to suppress and stifle the Call to Islam, the
abb resolutely set about unweaving that tapestry of light (the
shawl) thread by thread, and transporting these threads of light
to different parts of the world. Guided by Divine Inspiration,
the abb implanted these luminous threads into the hearts of
every person that he came into contact with.
It is said: Mens true mettle is known in adversity as gold is
assayed in fire. With superb resilience, the abb confronted

18

adversity head-on, and patiently persevered in his efforts, to


impart his knowledge, and to spread the message of Islm.
4.

THE DOYEN OF DR AL-MUAF:

Coupled with the many years that abb Umar spent in


his travels in quest of knowledge, and with the teaching and
development of people - infusing spirituality into their hearts
and imbibing them with the essence of the Qurn and Sunnah
all this would ultimately crystallize in the establishment of
Dr Al-Muaf, where the tenets of authentic (pure) Islm
would be taught.
This educational establishment was founded in 1414 A.H.
(1993 C.E) and officially opened in the month of Dhul ijjah
1417 A.H. (1997 C.E). Teachings and instructions at this
luminous institution are based, among others, on the wisdom of
eminent scholars and savants such as Imm Al-Ghazl and
Imm Abdullah bin Alaw Al-addd , who emphasised in
their teachings, the essence of righteousness, justice, selfexamination, self-improvement, reflection and adab
(propriety). Students from all over the world Malaysia,
Indonesia, Singapore, Pakistan, Australia, Egypt, Uganda,
Kenya, Tanzania, the Comoros Islands, Ethiopia, Namibia,
South Africa, Canada, the United States of America, Great
Britain, Denmark, Belgium, Germany as well as some Arab
states and other countries attend this prestigious institute.
Satellite institutions of a similar nature, have been established
in other countries e.g. Indonesia. At Dr Al-Muaf, students
are fastidiously trained in how to spread the Message of the
Qurn, the message of our Prophet Muammad , and the

19

message of all those learned and righteous scholars that came


after him .
5.

ABB UMAR: THE PHILANTHROPIST

Being a strong believer that gratitude to Allh should not


be measured only in words but in action and conduct of life,
the abb founded the Al-Rafah Charitable Society (Trust).
This Yemen-based non-governmental organization (NGO) is
synergistically partnered with Muslim Aid Australia. The
principle focus of this organization is the management of
poverty and the provision of health-care to the poor and underprivileged in Yemen. Despite operating in a very challenging
environment, the Al-Rafah Charitable Society (Trust) has
consistently, over the years, delivered much-needed aid to the
less-fortunate in Yemen. Its resolve is on-going.
6.

ABB UMAR: THE TRAVELLER AND CALLER


TO ISLM

True to his mission and vision, abb Umar spends a great


deal of the year travelling Providentially moved and
transported to where the winds of his destiny takes him to
countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and The Americas, spreading
the message of authentic Islm. These extensive travels have
witnessed the abb addressing thousands of people in
countries like Indonesia and Malaysia.
When the abb is not travelling, he would nevertheless
stay in contact with his global audiences, using digital
technology and the world-wide-web. During this period, he
would also focus his energies in co-ordinating the Al-Rafah
20

Charitable Society (Trust) and developing and implementing


scholastic methodologies at Dr Al-Muaf.
Being ever so conscious of the complexities, chaos, ways
of life, and the constant change of values that this millennium
has ushered-in globally, the abb has emphatically advocated
to his world-wide audiences, the importance of the Qurn and
Sunnah as the only true guidance to salvation, and the oftenneglected understanding, that we are an ummatan wasaan (a
balanced and moderate believing people). Having a deep
understanding of the fact that people vary in their
comprehension and capacity for gnosis and faith, the abb
would balance the substance of his lectures, with the intention
of reaching every individual, and with the knowledge that the
dawah that he is expounding, is through the Grace of Allh,
and that all and everything will ultimately return to Allh.
In his own country of Yemen, the abb has been
instrumental in transforming the wayward beliefs of people,
and developing their higher potential especially that of the
errant youth by guiding them on the path of rectitude, and
infusing into their hearts, a deeper love of Islm and that of the
Prophet .
7.

ABB UMAR: THE ADVISOR

Not a day would pass by, but the abb would humbly
share some pearls of wisdom with his audiences; pearls of
wisdom that would flow from a serene and tranquil self. abb
Umar humbly advises the following ten spiritual and ethical
principles:

21

Develop a strong certainty.


Display rapport (i.e. understand one another, and
communicate with each other) and show composure even
in adversity.
Allow your whole being to be permeated by Islm.
Devote your entire being to the remembrance of Allh, the
All-Mighty, and follow in the footsteps of the last Prophet,
Al- Muaf , the true one.
Be resolute, and show gratitude to Allh alone.
Respect all the religious books the Tawrh (Old
Testament) given to Nab Ms , the Zabr (Psalms)
given to Nab Dwd , the Injl (Bible, New Testament)
given to Nab s and the Furqn (Qurn) given to
Muammad  and show respect to all the other Prophets.
Treat all of humanity with graciousness and respect.
Show the utmost courtesy to all scholars; and
Fervently ask Allh for forgiveness.
8.

ABB UMAR: THE PUBLISHER

abb Umar has published widely. In addition to his


publications, he has also produced dozens of audio and visual
cassettes and compact discs. The following is a list of some of
the publications to his credit:
Aid to Those Seeking the Pleasure of the Creator through
the Clarification of Noble Character (Isf libi Ri alKhallq bi Bayn Ma Karam al Akhlq).
Advice to Students (Tawjiht al-ullb).
Our Character (Khuluqun).
The Glorious Treasure (Al-Dhakhra al-Musharrafa)
22

The Summary of Prophetic Aid (Khulah al-Maddad alNabaw fil Adhkr) a book of invocations.
The Shimmering Light Mentioning the Birth of the
Interceding Prophet (Al-Diya al-Lami fi Dhikr Mawlid alNabi al-Shafi).
The Pure Drink Mentioning the Life of the Fullest of
Moons (Al-Sharb al-uhr fi Dhikri irti Badri alBudr).
The Forthpouring of Spiritual Aid (Fay al-Imdd) a
compilation of sermons from the Friday (Jumuah)
prayers, the prayer for rain and the Eid prayers.
Selections from Shif al-Saqm (Al-Mukhtr min Shif alSaqm).
The Preachers Refinement (Thaqaft al-Khab).
The Light of Faith from the Speech of the Beloved of al
Rahman (Nr al-mn min Kalm abb al-Ramn) a
compilation of poetry.
Forthpourings of Favours from the Mercy of the Giver of
Favours (Fait al-Mann min Ramat Wahhb al-Minn).

To sanctify and promote the teachings of the Qurn and


that of the Prophet , abb Umar has appeared on, and had
been interviewed by numerous satellite channels, world-wide.
9.

CONCLUSION:

When you meet the abb for the first time, you are
captivated by his indescribable degree of awareness, serenity,
peace and tranquillity. These character traits have been
moulded by a deep and profound understanding of Reality, and
by living strictly according to the Qurn and the Sunnah. The
abbs life was markedly influenced and fashioned by the
23

many Allh-fearing and pious persons (Aslf) who taught him,


and whose company he always sought; the most substantial and
most overwhelming contribution being made by his father his
role model and mentor Muammad bin Slim bin fi.
The teachings of the abb, like that of our righteous
forefathers, are not separate from their lives living in the
now, living in truth, and ultimately living in absolute
submission to, and glorification of Allh .
A leading light of spirituality, a renowned scholar and
academic, a teacher of excellence, a determined and
indefatigable caller to Islm, an unsolipsistic philanthropist; in
short, a whole and complete human being. This succintly sums
up the character and disposition of abb Umar bin fi.
After having unravelled the threads of light from his
fathers shawl, the abb unselfishly wove these threads into
the web of human history, where they will forever light up the
hearts of millions, for generations to come.
We make duah that Allh through His Enabling Grace,
pardon him, accept all his endeavours and good works, and
bless him with a long life, Insh-Allh.

PREFACE

O Muammad! When my servants ask you concerning


Me, then know that I am indeed close to them. I listen to the
supplications of every supplicant when he calls upon Me.
[Srah Al-Baqarah (2) Verse 186]
My bondsman remembers me not in solitude except that I
likewise engage in remembrance of him amongst a conclave of
my Angels; nor does he remember Me in a gathering (of
rememberers) except that I engage in remembrance of him in
the most sublime of assemblies. [At-abarni]
Islm, which in its doctrine of tawd exhibits
an effort of the human mind at austere
conation, and in its mystical life (in part
conditioned by that doctrine) exhibits the
effort of the human spirit to escape not only
beyond the sensory but beyond conation, yet
exemplifies the human need for sacramentals
- for the outward and visible sign of the
inward and spiritual grace. (Padwick, 1996:
xxiv).
Here Padwick references a critical component of the
manner and the way in which devotees ought to engage,
embrace, understand and finally internalise the higher purposes
25

of Islamic devotional practices. There can be little doubt that


the most central ontological condition of any revealed religion,
is spirituality. In Islam, this does not imply dismissing the
numerous articulations of our material existence - the vagaries
of the here-and-now. On the contrary, we recognise the
importance of this earthly (dunyawi) condition through the
Prophetic supplication: Rabbana tina fidduny asana wa
filkhirati asana wa qin adhban-nr. (O Lord, grant us
the best of this world and the best of the hereafter and protect
us from the punishment of Perdition). [Srah Al-Baqarah (2)
Verse 201]
There can be little doubt that the best of this world
embraces all that which has the potential of drawing us closer
to Allh . These may find their expression in acts of
kindness to others, pursuing justice in all spheres of our lives,
caring for our families and fellow humans, and advancing the
purposes of human decency, respect for others, and upholding
the Allh-given and inalienable rights of human dignity in
general. From the Islamic perspective, it would do us well to
remember that human dignity is irrevocably linked to the idea
of Divinity. Human suffering is nothing to take lightly; but to
pour scorn upon another is more harmful to the individual soul
than to the object of that scorn. This is emphatically expressed
by the Prophetic saying that Malicious envy (asad) devours
the goodness of the soul in as much as fire destroys wood.
[Ab Dwd, Ibn Mjah]. Herein lays the wisdom of the
Qurnic dictum, that Allh does not change the earthly
conditions of a people (m bi qawmin) until they change that
which resides within their hearts (m bi anfusihim). No
external changes within this temporal order (m bi qawmin)

26

can be effected, or even hoped for, without the necessary


internal transformation of the soul; or, more bluntly, without
the obliteration of the pernicious proclivities of the human ego
or lower self.
The path of Adhkr (invocations) and that of Du
(supplication), is the path of spiritual redemption and
realisation. It is the way of the seeker the way of the spiritual
traveller. In this respect, it is important to understand that mere
rote memorisation is not good enough. While it is important to
memorise and read as much as possible, it is much more
important to understand, internalise, reflect-on and practice the
values contained within these adhkr and adiya. In the world
of the spiritual, quality takes precedence over quantity. The
major difference between dhikr and du lies in its
formulation and expression. Adhkr normally take the form of
liturgical utterances and may assume a variety of postures and
movements whether in khalwa (retreat) or in a group. The
adhkr may be performed silently (preferred by many
Naqshbandi Orders) or they may be vocalised. Du, on the
other hand, normally takes the form of simple supplications
with the palms raised as a symbol of humble imploration. This
may also be made silently or be vocalised. But at the heart of
these two forms of sacred interaction with the Divine, lies the
same essence the need to gain His Nearness, His Love and
His Riwn (Good Pleasure). The Prophet said: Addu
mukh-khul ibdah (Prayers form the essence of worship) [AtTirmidh]. It is towards a realisation of this essence that the
seeker aspires. The essence of dhikr and du is one.

27

Towards this end three aspects of this path are noteworthy:


1) Tarbiyyat al-Irdah, or the disciplining of the will
2) Tafiyyat al-Qalb, or cleansing of the heart and
3) Tazkiyyat an-Nafs, purification of the ego.
While much needs to be said about the heart and the ego, it
remains of critical importance to locate and understand the role
of the will in pursuit of this path. Muammad al-ajjar in his
work al-ubb al-Khlid (Eternal Love) crystallizes its
importance in the following two facets of constituted intention:
a) Uluww al-Himma, or an elevated firmness of purpose
and
b) Sidq al-alab, or sincerity and truthfulness in seeking.
[ajjar, 1991:79].
Beyond this is the important distinction that needs to be
made between the various orders of knowledge. On the one
hand we have what is commonly referred to as discursive
knowledge, which is important in aligning ourselves with the
demands of our earthly sojourn. This form of knowledge
requires study, research and the exercise of our rational
powers. On the other hand, we have what might be referred to
as inspired and beatific knowledge or al-Ilm al-Ladun in
short, Divine or religious knowledge; knowledge inspirited by
the spirit itself.
In his chapter Book of the Wonders of the Heart (Kitb
Ajaib al-Qalb) in the Iy Ulm al-Dn, Imm Ab mid
al-Ghazl (d.505AH/1111CE) mentions five factors that stand
between the human and the acquisition of this knowledge.

28

The first is the imperfectly formed nature of the adolescent


or young person. This youthful condition does not allow for the
penetration of spiritual intelligibles.
The second barrier is that of the commission of sinful acts
and acts of disobedience to Allh. These acts become the rust
that despoils the spiritual sensitivities and proclivities of the
heart. It is that condition referred to in the following Qurnic
verse: Rna ala qulbihim m kn yaksibn. (Upon their
hearts is the stain of the mischief that they do). [Srah
Muaffifn (83) Verse 14]. The rn is the rust.
The third impediment is that the heart may not be focussed
on the direction of the Reality sought. The mirror of Reality,
as it were, is misplaced and hence reflective of contingent
realities only. In this case his/her attention may lapse into an
exclusive consideration of bodily submission, and the common
distractions of livelihood. Acts of worship become mere habit
and automaton in nature; and the excessive concerns with ones
(dunyaw) responsibilities, collectively lead to an inability to
contemplate and meditate upon the Lordly Presence and the
hidden Divine realities.
The fourth is the veil of blind belief rooted in an uncritical
acceptance of particular theological positions and even the
madhhib (Legal Schools of Thought). Imm al-Ghazl is
certainly not an anti-madh-hab charlatan after all, he
embraced the Shafi School of Thought. Here he merely
reminds us of the dangers of madh-hab fanaticism and its
stultifying consequences. In short, there is goodness and grace
in all Legal Schools of Thought. Another veil of a similar order
he mentions, is blind imitation of ones parents. This, once
29

again, is not tantamount to disrespect for ones parents. In fact,


such disrespect may act as an even greater veil. The simple
truth is that socially conditioned attitudes, whether they stem
from ones parents, family, friends or otherwise, may seriously
impede both ones connection and ones understanding of the
Real.
The fifth impediment is ignorance of the direction of
Divine knowledge. Not knowing, denying, or being unable to
identify the sources of this category of knowledge, has the
potential to scuttle, almost in its entirety, ones quest for such
knowledge. Knowledge, according to Imm al-Ghazl, is
derived from two preceding items of related knowledge.
Combining the two in a congruent way, yields a third item of
knowledge that may be beneficial. An example furnished by
Imm al-Ghazl to demonstrate a potentially flawed approach
is, once again, that of the mirror. One who desires to see the
nape of his neck and holds up only one to his face will fail
completely. It would only be in the combination of two mirrors
held symmetrically one to the front and the other behind
that would reveal the nape. In this mirror metaphor, congruity
of vision stems from congruity in alignment. [Skelli, 2007:4150; al-Ghazl, Vol. 4, 922-4].
The above-mentioned, according to al-Ghazl, are some
of the impediments and veils that stand between the seeker and
the spiritual nature of the heart. One of the primary methods to
overcome these impediments, is to engage a systematic regime
of adhkr and adiya with ones heart and mind exclusively
focused on the Divine Presence.

30

This quintessential compilation by al-abb Umar bin


Muammad bin Slim bin fi (may Allh protect him) is one
of the most accessible and pointed selections of adhkr and
adiya. It has the potential to take the seeker a very long way
along the path. This, for two reasons:
Firstly, the fact that it is abb Umar bin fi who
compiled it. He is without a doubt one of the most
accomplished sages of our time. In the circles of Sufism, it is a
well-known axiom, that it is not only any particular
compilation that might yield the desired benefits, but that the
degree of those benefits is also contingent on the hand (heart)
that penned and compiled it. The fayn al-barakah
(overflowing grace) flows through the spiritual streams of these
realised shuykh with their unbroken chains of grace, reaching
to the Prophet himself. While some may wish to dismiss
these as popular beliefs, it is important that those who have
Islamic Spirituality at heart, and who know that Spirituality
constitutes the core, the centre and the most important aspect of
Religion as such, to know this; and
Secondly, that this compilation has been selected and
assembled in such a way that it makes provision for a variety of
occasions, conditions and even personal propensities, all of
which allow the devotee a much more edifying, intimate and
enriching engagement with the texts.
My final thoughts go to Professor Ghoesain Mohamed
(editor of this series) who must certainly be counted amongst
the foremost champions of this misunderstood, and oftentimes
ignored, genre of Muslim literature. Far removed from the

31

disruptive wastage of internecine organizational and


institutional politics, he has quietly and productively spent his
energies in the spiritual re-edification of countless
communities. In many a discordant community, may the
edificatory notes he is sounding, become a crescendo and a
triumph of harmony and love so desperately needed in Muslim
society today. May he also be rewarded for his intentions and
efforts.

O Allh! The First of the first,


and the Last of the last, and the
Possessor of Power and Strength.
O Merciful to the poor; O the
Most Merciful of those Who
show mercy; grant us such a
mercy whereby we will be
felicitous through it in this world
and the next; and fulfill all our
needs in both worlds; and the
needs of all Muslims;

Grant us whatever You have


granted the beloved ones; gift us
through it (that Mercy) what You
have gifted the beloved ones.
Provide us through it (that Mercy)
perfect gnosis, love, guidance,
success (in all our affairs), piety,
chastity, health, wealth,
contentment and certainty.
Combine for us, through (Your
Mercy), the good of this world
and the good of the religion
together with complete safety
from every tribulation, test, evil,
negligence, distress, harm, sin,
faults, witchcraft and the evil eye.

 THE POEM OF IMM ABU

 THE POEM OF IMM ABU


BAKR BIN ABDULLH ALAYDARS:
My Lord, we ask You by the
Greatest Name,
and by the Honour of the Chosen
One, to grant us relieve.
With the Name of Allh, our
Master; we have begun, and we
Praise Him for His favours upon us.
Through this medium we implore
You in every matter; Succour of
creation; Lord of the Worlds.
And by all Names divinely
revealed, and by those unrevealed,
protected and preserved.
And by every Divine Book that
the Most High has revealed, and
by the Qurn a cure for the
believers.
And by the Guide (the Prophet), we
ask him to intercede (in our request
to You) and take recourse to him;
and by all the Prophets and
Messengers, And by their families
and all their Companions; we ask
them to intercede (in our request to
You) as well as the generations
who followed them. And we invoke
you by all the angelic hosts; and by
all the hidden knowledge of my
Lord. And by the scholars
(preserving) the command of Allh
(i.e the religion), one and all; and
by all the saints and righteous ones.

wa jhil muaf farrij alayn.


Bi-bismillhi mawlnabtadayn,
wa namaduh al namhu fn.
Tawassaln bih f kulli amrin,
ghiythil khalqi rabbil lamn.
Wa bilasmi m waradat
binain, wa m filghaybi
makhznan man.
Bikulli kitbin anzalah tal,
wa qurnin shif lilmuminn.

Wa bilhd tawassaln waludhn,


wa kullil ambiy wal mursaln.

Wa lihimu maal abi jam,


tawassaln wa kullit-tbin.

Bikulli awifil amlki nad,


bim f ghaybi rabb ajman.
Wa bilulam biamrillhi turrn,
wa kullil awliy walin.

Akhuu bihil immal quba


aqqan, wa jhaddni tjal rifn.

I mention especially the Imm, the


true Qutb11, the Eminence of the
Religion12, the Crown of all Gnostics.
He ascended and established
himself firmly in the station of
spiritual authority; and mastered
both the Sacred Law and Spiritual
Certainty.
And the invocation13 of al-Aydars,
the Qutb is most potent in removing
the rust of the heart of the truthful
ones.
Virtuous one of the religion14, true
Reviver of the Religion; with him
lies our arbitration and we follow
his example.
And we dont forget to mention
Kaml Al-Dn15 Al-Sad16; one of
exalted spiritual state and crown of
the worshippers.
(And the composer of theses verses,
Ab Bakr17, an Imm whom his
Lord endowed with immense
stature)18. Through them we
beseech the Master, the Most High;
for forgiveness that will enshroud
all who are present.
And to show all encompassing
gentleness (from Him) and
continuous concealment as well as
forgiveness for every sinner.
We close these verses with a great
fortification with Allhs Might, we
can never be overpowered.
Allhs protective veil is draped
upon us; and Allhs Eye is
attentively upon us.
We complete this poem with
salutations upon Muammad, Imm
of all and the best of intercessors.

Raq f rutbatittamkni marq, wa


qad jamaash-sharata wal yaqn.

Wa dhikrul aydarsil qubi ajl,


anil qalbiad lidiqn.

Affiddni muyiddni aqqan,


lah takmun wa bihiqtadayn.

Wa l nans kamladdni sadan,


amal l tjal bidn.

(Wa nimah ab bakrin imman,


abhu ilhuh jhan makn).
Bi him nad ilal mawl tal,
bi-ghufrnin yaummul irn.

Wa lufin shmilin wa dawmi


satrin, wa ghufrnin likullil
mudhnibn.
Wa nakhtimuh bitanin amin,
biawlillhi l yuqdar alayn.
Wa sitrullhi masblun alayn,
wa aynullhi niratun ilayn.
Wa nakhtimu bialti al
Muammad, immil kulli
khayrish-shfin.

 IMM ABDULLAH BIN


ALAW AL-ADDDS
POEM [PRECIOUS PERFUME
IN THE MAGICAL HOUR]:

Y limas sirri minn,


l tahtikis sitra ann.

O Knower of our secrets,


do not remove (your) protective
veil from us;
Exempt us, forgive us, and be
there for us wherever we are.

Wa fin wafu ann,


wa kullan aythu kunn.
Y rabbi y limal l,

O my Lord! Knower of our


condition, I direct my hopes to
You.
Grace us with your Attention, be
with us, and set right our affairs.

Famnun alayn biliqbl,


wa kullan waliil bl.
Y rabbi y rabbal arbb,
abduk faqruk alal bb.

O my Lord! Lord of all lords!


Your bondsman, your destitiute
one is at Your door
He has come while all causes
have been severed; realising the
error of his ways after having
faltered.

At wa qad battal asbb,


mustadrikan bada m ml.

Y wasial jdi jduk,


alkhayru khayruk wa indak.

O Most Generous, we appeal to


Your Kindness. All good is Yours,
and what comes from You;
Grant more than Your servant
has aimed for; save me through
Your Mercy at this very instance.

Fawqalladh rma abduk,


fadrik biramatik fil l.

Y mjidal khalqi urr,


wa msial kulli birr.
Asaluk asbla sitr,
alal qabi wal akhl.

O Originator of Creation, Your


Goodness suffices all existence,
I beg of You to cover up our vile
deeds and idle speech.

O Seer of the secrets of my heart,


it is enough for me that You look
at me,
Wipe away my sins with Your
Forgiveness, and set my
intentions and actions aright.

Y man yar sirra qalb,


asbiiluka asb.
Famu biafwika dhamb,

Rabbi alaykatimd,

O my Lord! I rely on You, just as


much as I depend on You,
Truly, my utmost desire is Your
Eternal Satisfaction.

Y rabbi y rabbi inn,


asalukal afwa ann.
Wa lam yakhib fka ann,

O my Lord! O my Lord! I beg


Your pardon.
My good opinion of You will
never waiver, O Sovereign, King
of the Dominion.

Ashk ilayka wa abk,


min shumi ulm wa ifk.
Wa si fil wa tark,
wa shahwatil qli wal ql.

I complain to You and I cry over


my wrongdoings and falsehoods,
My evil deeds and negligence,
my lust for idle gossip.

Wa ubbi duny dhammah,


min kulli khayrin aqmah.
Fhal baly muqmah,
wa ashwuh ft washghl.

And my love for this wicked


world which is barren of all
virtue,
Loaded with calamities, filled
with troubles and distractions.

Y waya nafsil ghawiyyah,


anis sablis sawiyyah.
Aat turawwij alayyah,
wa qaduhal jhu wal ml.

Woe upon my deviating soul,


straying from the right path,
Goading me on to chase after
fame and fortune.

It subdues me with prosperity,

Coming to You with an

So with your Felicity,
Generosity, and sheer Favour,
ease the supplicants distress.

And bless him to repent in such


a way that it will wash away his
sins,
And keep him from relapsing
into evil, which he has resolved
to turn away from.

O Allh! I beseech You to grant


me continuous faith which enters
my heart, and genuine certainty
until I know that nothing will
affect me except what You have
ordained for me, and grant me
contentment with what You have
Decreed for me.

Allhumma ain mnan


diqan, wa yaqnan laysa
badah kufrun, wa ramatan
anlu bih sharafa karmatika
fidduny wal khirati.

O Allh! Grant me sincere faith,


and certainty (of faith) such that
no disbelief will follow it, and
Mercy with which I obtain the
honour of Your generosity in this
world and in the Hereafter.

Allhumma inn asaluka abra


indal qa, wal fawza indal
liq, wa manzilash shuhad, wa
ayshas-suad, wannara alal

O Allh! I beseech You to grant


me patience with (Your) Decree;
success at the time of meeting
You, the rank of the martyrs, the
livelihood of the fortunate ones,
victory over the enemies, and
companionship with the
Prophets.

Allhumma inn unzilu bika


jat wa in aufa ray, wa
qaura amal, waftaqartu il
ramatik; faasaluka y qiyal
umr, wa y shfiya udr,
kam tujru baynal bur, an
tujran min adhbis sar wa
min dawatith-thubr wa fitnatil
qubr.

O Allh! I present my need to


You, even if my opinion is
unsound, my action wanting, and
I am in need of Your Mercy. I
beseech You, O Decider of
Matters, and Healer of Hearts,
just as You separate the seas
from mixing, so should You
protect me from the punishment
of Hellfire, and from the call of
destruction, and the trials and
tribulations of the graves.

Allhumma wa m aufa anhu


ray, wa qaura anhu amal, wa
lam tablugh-hu niyyat wa
umniyat min khayrin waadtah
aadan min ibdik, aw khayrin
anta muhi aadan min

O Allh! Whatever my intellect


cannot comprehend, and my
actions cannot achieve, and my
intention and desire cannot
realize, of good that You have
promised to the servants or
granted some of Your creation,
then it is this good that I desire
from You, and I ask it from You,
O Lord of all the Worlds.

O Allh! Make us of those who

misguided nor misguide others;
who are at war with Your enemies,
who are at peace with Your

You is the reliance, and to Allh
we belong and unto Him we shall
return; and there is no Might nor
Power, save in Allh, the Most

beseech Your security on the Day

Your) Paradise on the Day of
Eternity along with (Your) close

Merciful and Most Loving and
You do whatever You wish;
Praise be to Him who has worn

I seek the forgiveness of Allh.
(3 times)
O Allh! You are Peace, and
from You come Peace, and unto
You return Peace. Therefore, O
Allh!, cause us to live in Peace,
and let us enter Your abode of
Peace. You are Blessed and High,
O Mighty and Glorious. O Allh!
None can withhold whatever You
have bestowed, and none can
bestow whatever You have
withheld; and there is no averting
what You have Decreed, and the
high status will be of no benefit
to him (except) what You will.
O Allh! Help me to remember
You, and to thank You, and to
worship You in the proper
manner.
Our Lord, accept from us (our
supplications). Verily, You are the
All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
Accept our repentance, for truly,
You are the Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful. (3 times)
O Allh! Bestow Blessings and
Peace upon our master
Muammad, and upon his family
and his Companions.
Glory be to your Lord; the Lord
of Honour and Power Who is far
superior than what they attribute
to Him; And Peace be on the
Messengers; And Praise be to
Allh, the Lord and Cherisher of
the Worlds. [Srah Al-fft

I seek refuge with Allh from the

Allh, the Most Compassionate,

[Srah Al-Baqarah (2), yah

Your God is one God. There is no


god but Him. He is the Most
Compassionate, Most Merciful. .
[Srah Al-Baqarah (2), Verse
163]
Allh! There is no god, but Him;
the Ever-Living, the Self
Subsisting, the Eternal One.
Neither slumber nor sleep can
overtake Him. To Him belongs
whatsoever is in the Heavens and
whatsoever is on the earth. Who
is there that can intercede in His
Presence, except by His
Permission? He Knows what will
happen to them (His creatures) in
this world, and what will happen
to them in the Hereafter; nor shall
they comprehend anything at all
of His Knowledge except as He
Wills. His Throne extends over the
Heavens and the earth, and
guarding and preserving it, does
not exhaust Him, for He is the
Exalted, the All-Mighty. [Srah
Al-Baqarah (2), Verse 255]

O the Magnificent.

Bismillhir ramnir ram.

In the Name of Allh, the Most


Compassionate, the Most
Merciful.
Alif Lm Mm.
This is the Book; in which there is
no uncertainty (doubt). It is a
guide for the pious believers,
Who believe in the Unseen, and
are steadfast in prayer, and
spend from that which We have
provided them with;
And who believe in the Revelation
sent down to you (O Muammad),
and what was sent before you, and
firmly believe in the Hereafter.
They are the people who are
rightly guided, and the ones who
will be successful. [Srah AlBaqarah (2), Verses 1-5]

Your God is One God. There is

every blink of the eye that the
creation of the heavens and the

[Srah Al-Baqarah (2), yah
255]

Allh! There is no god, but Him;


the Ever-Living, the Self
Subsisting, the Eternal One.
Neither slumber nor sleep can
overtake Him; to Him belongs
whatsoever is in the Heavens and
whatsoever is on the earth. Who
is there that can intercede in His
Presence, except by His
Permission? He Knows what will
happen to them (His creatures) in
this world, and what will happen
to them in the Hereafter; nor
shall they comprehend anything
at all of His Knowledge except as
He Wills. His Throne extends
over the Heavens and the earth,
and guarding and preserving it,
does not exhaust Him, for He is
the Exalted, the All-Mighty.
[Srah Al-Baqarah (2), Verse
255]
To Allh belongs all that is in
the Heavens and that is on
earth. Whether you disclose
what is in your selves or
conceal it, Allh will call you to
account for it. He forgives
whom He wishes and punishes
whom He wishes; He has Power
over all things.
The Messenger (Muammad)
believes in what has been
revealed to him from his Lord,
and (so do) the believers. They
all believe in Allh, His Angels,
His Books and His Messengers.
They say:We do not
differentiate between any of His
Messengers.

obey. We ask You to forgive us
our Lord, and to You will we all
return. Allh will not burden
any soul with more than what it
can bear. It shall be compensated
for whatever good it has done,
and it will be punished for
whatever evil it has done. (Pray):
Our Lord, do not take us to task
if we forget or make a mistake!
Our Lord, do not place on us a
burden like that which you have
placed on those before us! Our
Lord, do not place on us a burden
that we do not have the strength
to bear! Pardon us, and grant us
forgiveness; and have Mercy on
us. You are our Protector; so
grant us victory over the
disbelieving people. [Srah AlBaqarah (2), Verses 284-286]

no god but He; as do the Angels
and those who possess knowledge.
He is the Upholder of Justice.
There is no god but He, the AllMighty, the Wise. [Srah liImrn (3), Verse 18]

And I bear witness to that which


Allh bears testimony to; and I
call upon Allh as a Witness, and
I entrust (this testimony) in His
Custody; and I ask Allh to
safeguard it until He takes me
along with this testimony, unto
Him.

Indeed, the religion in the Sight


of Allh is Islm (absolute and
total submission to His Will);
[Srah li-Imrn (3), Verse 19]

Qulillhumma mlikal mulki

Say: O Allh! King of all


Sovereignty. You bestow
sovereignty on whom You Will,
and You take it away from whom
You please. You exalt whoever
You Will, and humiliate whoever
You Will. All that is good lies in
Your Hands. Verily, You have
Power over all things.
You cause the night to follow the
day, and cause the day to follow
the night; You revive the living
from the lifeless, and cause the
living to die; You give sustenance
to whom You Will, without
measure. [Srah li-Imrn (3),
Verses 26-27]

The Compassionate and the


Merciful One of this world and
the Hereafter; Allh gives of it to
whom He wants and He
withholds of it from whom He
wants; O Allh! have Mercy on
us, a Mercy that suffices us from
all besides You.

O Allh! Free us from debts and


save us from poverty, let us die in
obedience to You and striving in
Your path.

Muammad, and his family; and
Companions; and Praise be to
Allh, the Lord of all the Worlds.
To the number of His Creation, to

Only;
2 Allh, the Eternal, Absolute;

envy. (3 times) [Srah AlFalaq (113), Verses 1-5]
In the Name of Allh, the Most
Compassionate, the Most Merciful.
1 Say: I seek refuge with the Lord
and Cherisher of mankind;
2 The King (or Ruler) of mankind;
3 The God (or Judge) of mankind;
4 From the mischief of the
whisperer (of evil), who
withdraws (after his whisper);
5 (The whisperer) who whispers
into the hearts of mankind;
6 From among jinn and men.
(3 times) [Srah Al-Ns (114),

Rabbi adhu bika min


hamaztish shayn.

O my Lord! I seek refuge with


You from the suggestions of the
Evil Ones;
And I seek refuge with You, O my
Lord! In the event that they come
near me. (3 times) [Srah AlMuminn (23), Verses 97-98]

Wa adhu bika rabbi


ayyaurn. (3 times)
[Srah Al-Muminn (23), yt
97-98]

Did you (really) imagine that


We created you without any
purpose, and that you would not
be brought back to Us (for
account)? Therefore, Exalted
be Allh, the True King; there is
no god but He; the Lord of the
Throne of Honour!
He who invokes another deity
along with Allh a deity of
whose divinity he has no proof
will be brought to account by his
Lord. Verily, the unbelievers will
not be successful.
So say: O my Lord! Forgive us
and have Mercy on us; for You
are the best of those Who show
Mercy! [Srah Al-Muminn
(23), Verses 115-118]

Afaasibtum annam
khalaqnkum abathaw wa
annakum ilayn l turjan.
Fatalallhul malikul aqqu l
ilha ill huwa rabbul arshil
karm.
Wa may yadu maallhi ilhan
khara l burhna lah bih
fainnam isbuh inda rabbih
innah l yufliul kfirn.

Wa qurrab-bighfir waram wa

[Srah Al-Muminn (23), yt
115-118]

Fa subnallhi na tumsna

amdu fissamwti wal ardi
waashiyyaw wa na tuhirn.
Yukhrijul ayya minal mayyiti wa
yukhrijul mayyita minal ayyi wa
yuyil ara bada mawtih wa

[Srah Al-Rm (30), yt 17-19]

So glorify Allh in the evening


and in the morning. And Praise
be to Him in the Heavens and on
earth; and glorify Him in the late
afternoon and at midday. It is He
Who revives the living out of the
lifeless, and cause the living to
die. He gives life to the earth
after its death; and you shall be
raised to life (resurrected) in the
same way! [Srah Al-Rm (30),
Verses 17-19]

Allh. (High is He) above all that
they associate as partners with
Him.

Everything in the Heavens and the

All-Mighty, the All-Wise. [Srah
Al-ashr (59), Verses 21-24]

Salmun al nin fil lamn.

Peace and salutations to Noah


among the nations (man, jinn and
all that exist)! Verily, this is the
way that We reward the righteous.

and from above; I seek refuge in
Your Magnificence, in the event
that I may be seized from
beneath.

 O Allh! You created me, and


You guide me, and You provide

me with drink; and You shall
cause me to die, and You shall
give me life (resurrect me); and
You have Power over all things.

was not from the idolaters.

Bismillhir ramnir ram

In the Name of Allh, the Most


Compassionate, the Most
Merciful.
1 Ysn
2 By the Qurn full of
Wisdom,
3 You (O Muammad) are
indeed one of the Messengers,
4 On a Straight Way.
5 It is a Revelation sent down
by (Him), the Exalted in
Might, Most Merciful,
6 In order that you may
admonish a people, whose
fathers had received no
admonition, and who
therefore remain heedless (of
the Signs of Allh).
7 The Word is proved true
against the greater part of
them: for they do not
believe.
8 Verily, We have put yokes
around their necks right up
to their chins, so that their
heads are forced up (and
they cannot see).
9 And We have put a barrier in
front of them and a barrier
behind them, and further, We
have covered them up so that
they cannot see.
10 It is the same to them,
whether you admonish them
or you do not admonish
them; they will not believe.

11 You can only admonish such a


person that follows the Message
(Qurn) and fears the (Lord)
Most Compassionate, Unseen.
Give such a person therefore,
good tidings of forgiveness and
a reward most generous
(Paradise).
12 Verily, We shall give life to the
dead, and We record that
which they send before and
that which they leave behind;
and of all things have We
taken an account of, in a Clear
Book (of evidence).
13 And relate to them, by way of
a parable, the (story of) the
Companions of the City.
Behold, there came
Messengers to it.
14 When We (first) sent to them
two Messengers, they rejected
them; but We strengthened
them with a third. They said,
Truly, we have been sent to
you (by God) as Messengers.
15 They (the people) said: You
are only men like us, and
(Allh) Most Compassionate,
did not send such a revelation.
You do nothing, but lie.

16 They (the Messengers) said:

been sent as Messengers to
you.

18 They (the people) said: As


for us, we envisage an evil
omen from you. If you do not
stop, we will certainly stone
you, and a grievous
punishment indeed will be
inflicted on you by us.
19 They(the Messengers) said:
Your evil omens are with
yourselves; (Deem you this
an evil omen), if you are
admonished? No, you are but
a people transgressing all
bounds!
20 Then there came running,
from the farthest part of the
city, a man, saying, O my
people! Obey the
Messengers.
21 Obey those who ask no
reward of you (for
themselves), and who have
themselves received
Guidance.
22 It would be unreasonable of
me not to serve Him Who
created me, and to Whom you
(all) shall be returned.
23 Shall I take (other) gods
besides Him? If (Allh) Most
Compassionate should intend
some adversity for me, of no
use whatsoever will be their
intercession for me, nor can
they save me.
24 I would indeed, if I were to
do so, be clearly erring.
25 Verily, As for me, I have faith
in the Lord of you (all). So
then, listen to me!

26 It was said: Enter the


Garden (Paradise). He said:
Oh! If only my people knew
(what I know)!
27 That my Lord has granted me
forgiveness, and has placed
me among the honoured
ones!
28 And We did not sent down
against his people, after him,
any (hosts) hordes from
Heaven, nor was it necessary
for Us to do so.
29 It was no more than a single
mighty blast. And behold!
They were (like ashes), silent
and lifeless (dead).
30 Oh! alas for (My) servants!
They mocked every Messenger
(Apostle) that came to them!
31 Do they not see how many
generations before them have
We destroyed? Verily, they
will not return to them.
32 And each one of them (all of
them) will be brought before
Us (for judgement).
33 And a sign for them is the dead
earth (land). We give it life,
and We bring forth grain from
it, so that you can eat( of it).
34 And We brought forth from it
(the land) orchards with datepalms and grapevines; and
We cause springs to gush forth
from it.
35 So that they may enjoy the
fruits of this (artistry). It was
not their hands that made this.
Will they not then, give thanks?

36 Glory to Allh, Who created


in pairs all things that the
earth produces, as well as
their own (human) kind (male

of which they have no
knowledge.
37 And a sign for them is the
night. We withdraw from it the
day. And behold, they are
plunged in darkness.
38 And the sun runs its course for
a fixed period determined for
it. That is the Decree of
(Him), the Exalted in Might,
the All-Knowing.
39 And the moon, We have
measured for it, its lunar life
(to traverse) till it returns like
the lower part of an old (and
withered) date-stalk.
40 It is not permitted for the sun
to overtake the moon, nor can
the night outstrip the day.
Each (just) swims along in (its
own) orbit (according to
Divine Law).
41 And a sign for them is that We
load and took along their
offspring (through the Flood) in
the loaded Ark (of Noah).
42 And We have created for them
similar (modes of transport) on
which they ride.
43 And if it were Our Will, We
could have drowned them; then
there would be no helper (to
hear their cries), nor could they
be saved (rescued).

44 Except through Our Mercy, and


by way of (worldly) enjoyment

45 And when they are told: Fear

which will be after you
(torments in the Hereafter), in
order that you may receive
Mercy. (they turn back!);
46 Not a sign (revelation) comes
to them from among the signs

Lord, but they turn away from
it.
47 And when it is said to them:
Spend of (the bounties) which
Allh has provided for you.
The unbelievers say to those
who believe: Shall we then
feed those whom, if Allh had
Willed, He would have fed,
(Himself)? You are clearly
erring.
48 And further they say: When
will this promise (Resurrection)
be fulfilled, if what you say, is
true?
49 They will not (have to) wait
but for a single Blast. It will
seize them while they are still
disputing among themselves!
50 No (chance) will they then
have, by will, to dispose (of
their affairs), nor to return to
their own families!
51 And the Trumpet shall be
sounded. When behold!
From the graves, they shall
hasten to their Lord!

52 They will say: "Oh! Woe unto


us! Who has raised us up from
our sleeping-place? (A voice
will say:) This is what (Allh)
the Most Compassionate had
promised, and true was the
word of the Messengers!
53 It will be no more than a single
blast. When lo! they will all be
brought up before Us!
54 Then, on that day (of
Resurrection), not a soul shall
be dealt with unjustly in the
least; and you shall be
rewarded or punished for your
past deeds.
55 Verily, the Companions of the
Garden (Paradise) shall that
day be joyful in all that they
do.
56 They and their associates will
be in groves of (cool) shade,
reclining on thrones (of
dignity).
57 (Every) fruit (enjoyment) will
be there for them. They shall
have whatever they wish (ask)
for.
58 Peace! a word (of
salutation) from a Lord Most
Merciful!
59 And O you who have sinned!
Separate yourselves (from the
believers) this day!
60 Did I not command you, O
you children of Adam, that you
should not worship Satan. For
Verily, he was to you an open
enemy!

61 And that you should worship


Me (alone); that is the Straight
Path?
62 And indeed, he (Satan) lead
astray a great multitude of you.
Did you not then, understand?

62 Wa laqad aalla minkum

63 This is the Hell of which you


were (repeatedly) warned!
64 Enter (burn you in) the (Fire)
this day, as you (persistently)
rejected (Truth).
65 On that Day, We shall seal up
their mouths. But their hands
will speak to Us, and their feet
will bear witness, to all that
they did.
66 And if it had been Our Will,
We could surely have wiped
out their eyes (blinded them),
then they would have run
about groping for the Path.
But then, how could they see?
67 And if it had been Our Will,
We could have transformed
them (to lifeless objects) to
remain in their places; then
they would be unable to move
about, nor would they be able
to return (to goodness).
68 And he to whom We grant a
long life, We will cause him to
be reversed (changed) in
nature (his ways). Will they
then not understand?
69 And We have not instructed
the (Prophet) in poetry, nor is
it necessary for him. This is
but a Message, and a Qurn,
making things clear;

65 Alyawma nakhtimu al

70 That he (Muammad) or it
(the Qurn) may warn

reject (the Truth).
71 Do they not see that it is We
Who have created among

have fashioned cattle, which
are under their control?
72 And that We have subjected
them (the cattle) to their
(use)? Some (of the cattle)
carry them, and some of them
they eat;
73 And (besides) they have
(other) benefits from them;
and they get (milk) to drink.
Will they then not be grateful?
74 Yet, they take (for worship)
gods other than Allh,
(hoping) that they might be
helped!
75 They do not have the power to
help them; but they will be held
accountable (at the time of
reckoning) as a group (to be
condemned).
76 Let not their speech, then,
sadden (stress) you (O
Muammad). Verily, We know
what they hide as well as what
they disclose.
77 Does man not see that it is We
Who created him from sperm?
Yet behold! he flagrantly
(persist) as an open enemy

5 You alone do we worship, and
to You alone do we turn for
help.

have bestowed Your Grace;
not the way of those who have
earned your anger, nor of

And the Qurnic Verse:

[Srah Al-Baqarah (2), yah
255]

And the Qurnic Verse:


Allh! There is no deity but Him;
the Ever-Living, the Self
Subsisting, the Eternal One.
Neither slumber nor sleep can
overtake Him. To Him belongs
whatsoever is in the Heavens and
whatsoever is on the earth. Who
is there that can intercede in His
Presence except by His
permission? He Knows what will
happen to them (His creatures) in
this world and what will happen
to them in the Hereafter; nor shall
they comprehend anything at all
of His Knowledge except as He
Wills. His Throne extends over
the Heavens and the earth, and
guarding and preserving it, does
not exhaust Him, for He is the
Exalted, the All-Mighty. [Srah
Al-Baqarah (2), Verse 255]

Binastadrat kamastadratil

This verse will protect us the way


the Angels have protected the
Prophetic city - with no trench or
walls - from every Decreed
Ordainment and from every
warned-about threat; Allh is our
shield. (3 times)

Against our enemy and the


enemy of Allh, from the Pillar of

Allhs earth; with a hundred

There is no Power nor Strength

Allhumma inn adhubika min

wa min sharri m khalaqa rabbi;

O Allh! I seek refuge from the


evil of my self, from the evil of
others, and from the evil of all
which my Lord has created.
With You, O Allh! Do I fortify
myself against them, with You,
O Allh! Do I seek protection
against their evil. I seek
sufficiency with You against
them. I put (as a protection)
before myself (Srah Ikhl,
which will be read hereafter) and
before all who are under my
guardianship, as well as those
whom I can call to mind.

and Benevolence from every
demon and sultan; human or jinn;

Inna waliyyi yallhul ladh


nazzalal kitb, wa huwa
yatawalla lin.
[Srah Al-Arf (7) yah 196]

Verily, my Protector, Supporter


and Helper is Allh, Who sent
down the Book (from time to
time); it is He Who protects the
righteous. [Srah Al-Arf (7)
Verse 196]
And when you (O Muammad)
recite the Qur'n, We erect
between you and those who do
not believe in the Hereafter, an
invisible barrier. We put veils
over their hearts to prevent them
from understanding it, and We
afflict their ears with deafness so
that they do not hear; and when
you mention your One and Only
Lord in the recitation of the
Qur'n, they become averse to
Him, and turn their backs. [Srah
Al-Isr (17) Verses 45-46]
But if they turn away, say: Allh
is sufficient for me. There is no
god but He. In Him do I put my
trust and He is the Lord of the
Mighty Throne! (7 times)
[Srah Al-Tawbah (9), Verse 129]

Waidh qaratal qurna jaaln

Wa jaaln al qulbihim

45-46]

 There is no Power nor


Strength except with Allh, the
Exalted, the Mighty.
And may the Blessings and Peace
of Allh be upon our master
Muammad, the unlettered
Prophet, and upon his family and
his Companions,
 Then the supplicant blows

O you who believe, be Allhs


Helpers as Jesus, son of Mary, said
to the desciples: Who will be my
helpers to (the work) Allh? They
said: We are Allhs helpers ...
[Srah Al-aff (61), Verse 14]
Allh! There is no deity but Him;
the Ever-Living, the Self
Subsisting, the Eternal One.
Neither slumber nor sleep can
overtake Him. To Him belongs
whatsoever is in the Heavens and
whatsoever is on the earth. Who
is there that can intercede in His
Presence, except by His
permission? He knows what will
happen to them (His creatures) in
this world, and what will happen
to them in the Hereafter; nor shall
they comprehend anything at all
of His Knowledge except as He
Wills. His Throne extends over the
Heavens and the earth, and
guarding and preserving it, does
not exhaust Him, for He is the
Exalted, the All-Mighty. [Srah
Al-Baqarah (2), Verse 255]
In the Name of Allh, the Most
Compassionate, the Most Merciful.
Had We sent down this Qurn
on a mountain, you would have
certainly seen it humbling itself
and splitting asunder for its fear
of Allh. We relate these parables
to men so that they may reflect.
He is Allh: there is no other god
but Him. The All-Knower of the
Unseen and the seen. He is the
Most Compassionate, Most
Merciful.

He is Allh, there is no other god,


but Him; the King, the Most Pure,
the Source of Peace (and
Perfection), the Giver of Security,
the Protector, the All-Mighty, the
Compeller, the Supremely Great;
Glory be to Allh. (High is He)
above all that they associate as
partners with Him.
He is Allh, the Creator, the
Maker, the Fashioner. To Him
belongs the Most Beautiful
Names. Everything in the
Heavens and the earth glorify
Him. And He is the All-Mighty,
the All-Wise. [Srah Al-ashr

I seek refuge for myself with


Allh, the Most High, from
whatever hears with two ears,
beholds with two eyes, walks
with two legs, touches with two
hands, speaks with two lips.
I fortify myself with Allh, the
Great Creator, from evils that I
fear or I am wary of, from humans
and jinn that may appear (to harm
me). Honoured is the one who is
closest to Him; Exalted is His
Praise; sacred are His Names, and
there is no god, save Him.
O Allh! I (restrain) my enemies
by placing You against their necks,
and I seek refuge in You from their
evils, their ploys, their
cunningness, and their deceit.
Extinguish the fire of whomsoever
intends animosity towards me from
among the jinn and humans.

47 And they used to say: What!


When we die and become dust
and bones; shall we then,
indeed, be resurrected?
48 (We) and also our
forefathers?
49 Say (Muammad): (Yes)
Indeed, those of earlier times
and those of later times.
50 All will surely be gathered
together for an appointed
Meeting on a well-known Day
51 Then Verily, you, you the
errant ones, and deniers of
Truth
52 You will surely eat (taste) of
the trees of Zaqqm.
53 And you will fill your bellies
with it
54 And drink boiling water on
top of that
55 Indeed you will drink (the
boiling water) like thirsty
camels!
56 Such will be your degradation
on the Day of Recompense!
57 It is We Who have created
you: why then, do you not
accept the Truth?
58 Do you not see the (semen)
you emit?
59 Did you create it, or are We
the Creators (of it)?
60 We have decreed death as
your common lot, and We will
not be prevented,
61 From changing your shapes
and creating you (again) in
(shapes) that you have no
knowledge of.

62 And indeed, you already know


the first shape of creation.
Why then, do you not
remember (take heed)?
63 Do you not see the seed that
you sow in the ground?
64 Is it you that make it grow, or
are We the cause of its
growth?
65 Were it Our Will, We could
crush it into dry powder; and
you will be but amazed,
66 (Saying): We have indeed
been (ruined) and left with
only debts (no profits),
67 Indeed, we have been
deprived (of the fruits of our
labour).
68 Do you see the water that you
drink?
69 Is it you that cause it to
descend from the rain-clouds,
or are We the cause of it?
70 If it were Our Will, We could
make it into (unpalatable) salt.
Why then do you not give
thanks (to Allh)?
71 Do you see the Fire that you
kindle?
72 Is it you that made the tree
(which feeds the fire) to grow,
or are We the cause of its
growth?
73 We have made it (the fire) as a
reminder (of Hellfire) and an
instrument of use.
74 Then Glorify with Praises the
Name of your Lord the AllPowerful!

75 Furthermore I swear by

76 And Verily, that is indeed a
mighty oath; if you only knew,
77 That this indeed is a most
Noble Qurn (an honourable
recitation),
78 In a well-guarded (Preserved
Book),
79 Which none shall touch,
except those who are clean;
80 A Revelation from the Lord of
the Worlds.
81 Is it such an account
(discourse) that you treat it
with disdain (contempt)?
82 And have you made its denial
your means of livelihood?
83 Then why do you not
(intervene) when (the soul of
the dying man) reaches his
throat?
84 And you at that moment are
looking on!
85 But We are nearer to him than
you, although you cannot see
Us.
86 Then why do you not, if you
are exempt from (future)
account,
87 Return the soul (to the body),
if you are truthful (in your
claim)
88 Then, if he (the dying person)
is one of those brought near to
Allh.
89 (There is for him) rest,
complete satifaction, and a
Garden of Delights.

Supplications after Srah alWqiah31:


O Allh! Protect us with
solvency, and do not humiliate us
with poverty; and my request is
that: we seek our livelihood from
Your Sustenance; we seek (Your)
Mercy from the evil of Your
Creation; we busy ourselves by
praising those who give us, and
we are tested through humiliation
by those who withhold from us,
while you are the true Causer
behind all of that; the Owner of
Giving and Withholding.
O Allh! As You have protected
our faces from prostration (to
others), except You; so protect us
from being in need (of others),
but You, with Your Generosity,
Magnanimity and Bounty,
 O the Most Merciful of those
who show Mercy. (3 times)
Enrich us with Your Bounties
rather than the bounties of others.
And may the Blessings and Peace
of Allh be upon our master
Muammad, and upon his family
and his Companions.
O Allh! Bestow Blessings and
Peace upon our master
Muammad, and upon the family
of our master Muammad, and
grant us through him - may the
Blessings and Peace of Allh be
upon him and his family - from
Your Lawful, Good and Blessed
Sustenance, such that You can
save us from turning to anyone of
Your creation.

Pave, O Allh! For us an easy


way towards it, without any
temptations, trials or human
favours, and without following
anyone (other than the Prophet),
and keep us away, O Allh! From
the unlawful, wherever it is, and
whenever it is, and with
whosoever it is; and come
between us and those who
commit the unlawful, and
safeguard us from their actions,
and divert from us their faces and
their hearts, so that we do not
change except to that which
pleases You; and we do not ask
You of Your Bounty, except for
that which You are pleased and
satisfied with, O the Most
Merciful of those who show
Mercy.
O Allh! If our sustenance is in
the Heaven, then send it down (to
us); and if it is in the earth, then
extract it for us; and if it is
difficult (to obtain), then make it
easy for us (to obtain); and if it is
far away, then bring it closer to
us; and if (the acquisition thereof)
is forbidden, then purify it for us;
and if it is little, then increase it
for us; and if it is non-existent,
then create it for us; and if it is
suspended, then make it flow
towards us. And if (the acquisition
thereof) is a sin, forgive it (the
sin), and if it is a wrongdoing,
erase it, and if it is an abominable
act, then remove it, and if it is a
mistake, then overlook it,

LITANY OF THE SEA (IZB


AL-BAR) OF SAYYID AB

LITANY OF THE SEA


(IZB32 AL-BAR 33) OF
SAYYID AB AL-ASAN ALSHDHIL: 34
In the Name of Allh, the Most
Compassionate, the Most
Merciful.
O Allh! O Exalted One, O Gentle
One, O the All-Knowing,
You are my Lord, and Your
Knowledge suffices me. What an
Excellent Lord is my Lord! What
a Wonderful Sufficiency is my
Sufficiency! You help
whomsoever You want; and You
are the Mighty, the
Compassionate. We implore You
for security in our movements and
in times of our stillness, in our
words, in our willing and passing
thoughts, and from the (danger of)
doubts, conjectures and delusions
that cover 35 our hearts from
understanding the Unseen.

The Believers were tried and


shaken with a mighty shudder.
The Hypocrites and people with
sicknesses of the heart said:
Allh and His Messenger have
promised us nothing but
falsifications. [Srah Al-Azb

their place so that they may not go
or come to us.
And if it had been Our Will, We
could surely have wiped out their
eyes (blinded them), then they
would have run about groping for
the Path. But how could they
have seen?
And if it had been Our Will, We
could have transformed them (to
lifeless objects) to remain in their
places; then they would be unable
to move about, nor would they be
able to return (to goodness).

Ysn
By the Qurn full of Wisdom,
You are indeed one of the
Messengers,
On a Straight Way.
It is a Revelation sent down by

Most Merciful,
In order that you may admonish
a people, whose fathers had
received no admonition, and
who therefore remain heedless
(of the Signs of Allh).

covered them up so that they
cannot see. [Srah Ysn (36),

Permission? He Knows what will
happen to them (His creatures) in

to them in the Hereafter; nor shall
they comprehend anything at all

Wills. His Throne extends over the
Heavens and the earth, and
guarding and preserving it, does
not exhaust Him, for He is the
Exalted, the All-Mighty. [Srah

Had We sent down this Qurn


on a mountain, you would have
certainly seen it humbling itself
and splitting asunder for its fear
of Allh. We relate these
parables to men so that they may
reflect.

Huwallhulladh l ilha ill


huwa limul ghaybi wash
shahdati huwar ramnur
ram.

He is Allh: there is no god, but


Him. The All-Knower of the
Unseen and the seen. He is the
Most Compassionate, Most
Merciful.

Praise be to Allh, Lord of the
Worlds, a Praise worthy of Allhs
Bounties, and Recompense for His
(Bountiful) Excess. O our Lord, to
You belong all Praise as befits
Your Majestic Countenance, and
Your Magnificent Authority;
Glory be to You; we cannot count
Your Praises the like of which You
have Praised Yourself; all Praise
be to You, until You are satisfied,
and all Praise be to You when You
are satisfied, and all Praise be to
You after You are satisfied.

 THE FAMOUS RATIB ALHADDAD OF IMM


ABDULLAH IBN ALAW
AL-ADDD:
The (reading of) the Ftiah to
the presence of the Prophet
Muammad, may the Blessings
and Peace of Allh be upon him;

Adhu billhi minashshaynir rajm.


1 Bismillhir ramnir ram.

I seek refuge in Allh from the


accursed Satan.
1 In the Name of Allh, the Most
Compassionate, the Most
Merciful.
2 All Praise be to Allh, Lord of
the Universe;
3 Most Compassionate, Most
Merciful;
4 Lord of the Day of
Judgement.
5 You alone do we worship, and
to You alone do we turn for
help.
6 Guide us to the Straight Way.
7 The Way of those on whom
You have bestowed Your
Grace; not the way of those
who have earned Your anger,
nor of those who went astray.

Verses 1-7]

Allh! There is no god, but Him;


the Ever-Living, the Self Subsisting,

Him belongs whatsoever is in the
Heavens and whatsoever is on the
earth. Who is there that can
intercede in His Presence, except

He knows what will happen to


them (His creatures) in this
world, and what will happen to
them in the Hereafter; nor shall
they comprehend anything at all
of His Knowledge except as He
Wills. His Throne extends over
the Heavens and the earth, and
guarding and preserving it, does
not exhaust Him, for He is the
Exalted, the All-Mighty. [Srah
Al-Baqarah (2), Verse 255]

Lillhi m fissamwti wam fil


ari, wa in tubd m f anfusikum
aw tukhfhu yusibkum bihillh;
fayaghfiru limay yashu wa

To Allh belongs all that is in


the Heavens and that is on
earth. Whether you disclose
what is in your selves or
conceal it, Allh will call you to
account for it. He will forgive
whom He wishes and will
punish whom He wishes; He has
Power over all things.
The Messenger (Muammad)
believes in what has been
revealed to him from his Lord,
and (so do) the believers. They
all believe in His Angels, His
Books and His Messengers.
They say:We do not
differentiate between any of His
Messengers. We hear and we
obey. We ask You forgiveness
our Lord, and to You will we all
return.
Allh will not burden any soul
with more than what it can bear.
It shall be compensated for
whatever good it has done, and it
will be punished for whatever evil
it has done.

[Srah Al-Baqarah (2), yah
255]

And the Qurnic Verse:


Allh! There is no deity but Him;
the Ever-Living, the Self
Subsisting, the Eternal One.
Neither slumber nor sleep can
overtake Him. To Him belongs
whatsoever is in the Heavens and
whatsoever is on the earth. Who
is there that can intercede in His
Presence except by His
permission? He Knows what will
happen to them (His creatures) in
this world and what will happen
to them in the Hereafter; nor shall
they comprehend anything at all
of His Knowledge except as He
Wills. His Throne extends over
the Heavens and the earth, and
guarding and preserving it, does
not exhaust Him, for He is the
Exalted, the All-Mighty. [Srah
Al-Baqarah (2), Verse 255]

Binastadrat kamastadratil

khandaqin wa l sr, min kulli

 Allh is our shield. (3 times)

O Allh! If someone from the


jinn, humans, beasts or anything
else from the rest of creation, of
humankind, devil, ruler, or evil
whisperer, plots to cause me any
harm, then cause their (evil)
gazes to relapse, and instill
trouble in their hearts, and make
them bankrupt, and disable them
from head to toe, so that they can
neither cross a plane, nor climb a
mountain, with a hundred
thousand thousand thousand of:
There is no Power nor Strength
except with Allh, the Exalted,
the Mighty.

Wa allallhu al sayyidin
Muammadin, wa al lih wa

And may the Blessings and Peace


of Allh be upon our master
Muammad, and upon his family.

Allhumma inn adhubika min


sharri nafs, wa min sharri ghayr,
wa min sharri m khalaqa rabbi;

O Allh! I seek refuge from the


evil of my self, from the evil of
others, and from the evil of all
which my Lord has created.
With You, O Allh! Do I fortify
myself against them, with You,
O Allh! Do I seek protection
against their evil. I seek
sufficiency with You against
them. I put (as a protection)
before myself (Srah Ikhl,
which will be read hereafter) and
before all who are under my
guardianship as well as whom I
can call to mind.

Compassionate, the Most

1 Say: He is Allh, the One and
Only;
2 Allh, the Eternal, Absolute;
3 He was not born, nor does He
give birth;

Inna waliyyi yallhul ladh

[Srah Al-Arf (7) yah 196]

Verily, my Protector, Supporter


and Helper is Allh, Who sent
down the Book (from time to
time); it is He Who protects the
righteous. [Srah Al-Arf (7)
Verse 196]
And when you (O Muammad)
recite the Qur'n, We erect
between you and those who do
not believe in the Hereafter, an
invisible barrier. We put veils
over their hearts to prevent them
from understanding it, and We
afflict their ears with deafness so
that they do not hear; and when
you mention your One and Only
Lord in the recitation of the
Qur'n, they become averse to
Him, and turn their backs. [Srah
Al-Isr (17) Verses 45-46]
But if they turn away, say: Allh
is sufficient for me. There is no
god but He. In Him do I put my
trust and He is the Lord of the
Mighty Throne! (7 times)
[Srah Al-Tawbah (9), Verse 129]

SRAH AL-MULK (SRAH 67)


Bismillhir ramnir ram

In the Name of Allh, the Most


Compassionate, the Most Merciful.

1 Tabrakalladh biyadihil
mulku wa huwa al kulli
shayin qadr.
2 Alladh khalaqal mawta wal
ayta liyab luwakum
ayyukum asanu amalan; wa
huwal azzul ghafr.

1 Blessed be He in Whose Hands


is the Dominion; and He has
Power over all things.
2 He Who created death and life,
in order that He may test
which of you are best in deed;
and He is the Exalted in Might,
the Oft-Forgiving.
3 He Who created the seven
Heavens, one above another;
no imperfection will you see in
the creation of (Allh) Most
Compassionate. So look again:
Do you see any flaws?
4 Then look again for the second
time; (your) sight will come
back to you weak, weary and
dull.
5 And indeed, We have, (from of
old) adorned the lowest
Heaven with lamps, and We
have made such (lamps) (as)
missiles to drive away the evil
ones; and have prepared for
them the torment of the Blazing
Fire.
6 And for those who reject their
Lord (and Cherisher) the
torment is Hell; and very grave
indeed, is such a destination.
7 When they are cast therein (the
Fire), they will hear the
(terrible) drawing in of its (the
Fires) breath, as it blazes
forth,

3 Alladh khalaqa saba

farjiil baara hal tar min

4 Thummarjiil baara karra

8 Almost bursting with fury.


Every time a group is cast in it,
its keepers will ask,Did a
Warner not come to you?
9 They will say:Yes indeed; a
Warner did come to us, but we
rejected him and said:Allh
never sent down any (such
revelation); you are only
misleading us!
10 They will further say:Had we
but listened or used our
intelligence, we should not
(now) be among the dwellers of
the Blazing Fire!
11 They will then confess their
sins; but far will be
(Forgiveness) for the dwellers
of the Blazing Fire!
12 Verily, for those who fear their
Lord Unseen, for them is
forgiveness and a great reward.
13 And whether you speak in secret
or state it openly, know that He
certainly has (full) knowledge
of the secrets of (all) hearts.
14 Should He not know; He that
Created (everything)? And He
is the Most Kind, the AllAware.
15 It is He Who made the earth
subservient to you; so travel
through its tracts and enjoy of
the sustenance which He
furnishes; and to Him will we
all be Resurrected.
16 How secure do you feel that
He, Who is in Heaven, will not
cause you to be swallowed up
by the earth when it shakes?

17 Or do you feel secure that He,


Who is in Heaven, will not send
against you a violent wind
(tornado) (with showers of
stone), so that you shall
know,How (terrible) My
Warning was?
18 But indeed, men before them
rejected (My warning); then
how (terrible) was My
rejection (of them)?
19 Do they not observe the birds
above them, spreading their
wings, and then folding them
in? None can support them (in
the air) except (Allh) Most
Compassionate; Truly, it is He
that watches over all things.
20 Who is there besides the Most
Merciful that can be an army
to you, to help you? The
unbelievers are totally
deluded.
21 Or who is there that can
provide you with sustenance if
He were to withhold His
Provision? No, they obstinately
persist in arrogance and they
flee (from the Truth).
22 Is the one who walks bent with
his face down, better guided
than the one who walks
upright and on a straight path
(i.e. Islamic Monotheism)?
23 Say:It is He Who has created
you (and made you grow), and
endowed you with the faculties
of hearing, seeing, feeling and
understanding. Little thanks
do you give.

24 Say:It is He Who has


scattered you throughout the
earth, and to Him shall you all
be gathered (in the
Hereafter).
25 They ask:When will this
promise be (fulfilled), if you
are telling the truth?
26 Say (O Muammad):As to the
knowledge of the time; it is
with Allh alone. I am only a
plain Warner.
27 At length, when they see it (the
torment of the day of
Resurrection) close at hand,
grieved will be the faces of the
unbelievers, and it will be said
(to them):This is what you
were calling for!
28 Say (O Muammad):Tell me!
If Allh were to destroy me and
those with me, or if He bestows
His Mercy on us, then who can
deliver the unbelievers from a
painful torment?
29 Say:He is (Allh) Most
Compassionate; we have
believed in Him, and in Him
have we put our trust. So, soon
will you know which (of you)
are clearly erring.

my soul (during sleep), have
mercy upon it, and if You should
return it (to my body in the
morning), then preserve it as You
have preserved the souls of Your
righteous servants.
O Allh! Save me from Your
punishment the day Your
servants are resurrected.
O Allh! By Your Name do I live
and die; I seek refuge in You
from the viciousness of the
evildoer, and from any moving
creature that You take by the
forelock. Verily, Allhs path is
the only straight path;
You are the First, nothing has
come before You, and You are
the Last, nothing will come after
You; You are the Most High and
nothing may rise above You; and
You are the Most Near, no one is
nearer than You; settle all our
debts, and save us from poverty.

You are the Knower of the

those matters that are most
beloved to You, and most

wish, and You are capable of all

O Allh! Grant us safety and
keep (others) safe from us, and
return us safely, and endow all of
us with what You have granted

[Srah Al-Baqarah (2), yah
255]

Allh! There is no god, but Him;


the Ever-Living, the Self
Subsisting, the Eternal One.
Neither slumber nor sleep can
overtake Him. To Him belongs
whatsoever is in the Heavens and
whatsoever is on the earth. Who
is there that can intercede in His
Presence, except by His
Permission? He Knows what will
happen to them (His creatures) in
this world, and what will happen
to them in the Hereafter; nor
shall they comprehend anything
at all of His Knowledge except as
He Wills. His Throne extends
over the Heavens and the earth,
and guarding and preserving it,
does not exhaust Him, for He is
the Exalted, the All-Mighty.

Glory be to Allh; Praise be to


Allh; there is no god worthy of
worship but Allh; Allh is Great.
(7 times)

[Srah Al-Arf (7), yah 43]

(And they shall say:) All Praise


belongs to Allh, Who has guided
us to this. Had Allh not guided
us, we would never have found
the way. [Srah Al-Arf (7),
Verse 43]

Allhumma antal milu ala


ahri, wa antal mustanu alal

O Allh! You are the One who


carries us on the backs (of the
riding animals), and You are the
one we can turn to for all our
affairs.

Bismillhi, wal mulku lillhi,

In the Name of Allh, and all


Authority belongs to Allh.
They have not made a just
appraisal of Allh, such as He
deserves. And on the Day of
Resurrection the whole earth will
be grasped by His Hand, with the
Heavens folded up in His Right
Hand. Glory be to Him! High is
He above all that they associate
as partners with Him! [Srah AlZumar (39), Verse 67]

Glory to Him Who has subjected
these (creatures) to us; we would
never on our own have
accomplished it. And to our Lord
shall we surely return. [Srah AlZukhruf (43), Verses 13-14]
In the Name of Allh, and the
Kingdom belongs to Allh;
O Allh! O the One to Whom the
seven Heavens belongs and are
submissive, and the seven earths
are humble, and the high
mountains are fearful, and the
overflowing oceans are frightened.
Protect us, You are the best of
protectors, and you are the Most
Merciful.
Thus have We determined (the
stages of development); and
indeed Our power to determine is
excellent. [Srah Al-Mursalt

3 So let them worship the Lord

4 Who provided them with food
in order to avoid them going
hungry, and Who safeguarded
them against fear (of danger).
[Srah Al-Quraysh (106), Verses

 Then he follows it up with a

mankind, and from the evil of
their helpers and followers;
Exalted is Your Protection and
Exalted is Your Praise, and there
is no god but You.
 When the supplicant ascends
an elevated place, he should say:
Allh is Great; O Allh! You are
Noble above all nobility; to You
belong all Praise, under all
circumstances; and when he
descends, he must glorify Allh.

 When the supplicant ascends


an elevated place, he should say:

forlornness in his travels, he
says:

 When the supplicant fears


forlornness in his travels, he
says:
Glory be to You, the Master, the
Pure One; Glory be to You, the
Holy, the Lord of the Angels and
the Spirit (Jibrl); You have filled
the Heavens and the earth with
Might and Grandeur.
 And when the night befalls
him, the supplicant says:
O earth: my Lord and Your Lord
is Allh; I seek refuge in Allh
from your evil; and from the evil
within you, and from the evil (of
the creatures) that crawls upon
you; I seek refuge in Allh from
the evil of every lion, every great
serpent; every snake and every
scorpion, and the evil of every
inhabitant of the land, and the
evil of every parent and his
progeny; And to Him belongs
whatever exists in the night and
the day, and He is the AllHearing, the All-Knowing."
[Srah Al-Anm (6), Verse 13]
 When the supplicant looks
out over his own city or
another, then he should read:
Allh is Great (3 times); There is
no god but Allh alone; He has
no partner; to Him belongs all
Authority and for Him is all
Praise; and He is capable of all
things; the number of every atom
a thousand, thousand times; we
return (from our journey), the
repenting ones, the worshippers,
Praising our Lord.

 And when the night befalls


him, the supplicant says:
Y aru: rabbi wa rabbukallh,

Compassionate, the Most Merciful.
1 Say: He is Allh, the One and
Only;
2 Allh, the Eternal, Absolute;
3 He was not born, nor does He
give birth;

[Srah Al-Baqarah (2), yah
255]

Allh! There is no god, but Him;


the Ever-Living, the Self
Subsisting, the Eternal One.
Neither slumber nor sleep can
overtake Him. To Him belongs
whatsoever is in the Heavens and
whatsoever is on the earth. Who
is there that can intercede in His
Presence, except by His
Permission? He Knows what will
happen to them (His creatures) in
this world, and what will happen
to them in the Hereafter; nor shall
they comprehend anything at all
of His Knowledge except as He
Wills. His Throne extends over the
Heavens and the earth, and
guarding and preserving it, does
not exhaust Him, for He is the
Exalted, the All-Mighty. [Srah
Al-Baqarah (2), Verse 255]

And the Prophet, may the


Blessings and Peace of Allh be
upon him, when he returned from
his travels, and he came to his
family, he would say: Tawban
tawban lirabbin awban l
yughdiru awban.

And the Prophet, may the


Blessings and Peace of Allh be
upon him, when he returned from
his travels, and he came to his
family, he would say: Repent,
repent, return to our Lord; do not
be faithless and abstain from sin.

knot of every difficulty.

Compassionate, the Most
Merciful.
Alif Lm Mm.
This is the Book; in which there
is no uncertainty (doubt). It is a
guide for the pious believers,
Who believe in the Unseen, and
are steadfast in prayer, and
spend from that which We have
provided for them,
And who believe in the Revelation
sent down to you (O Muammad)
and what was sent before you,
and firmly believe in the
Hereafter.
They are the people who are
rightly guided, and the ones who
will be successful. [Srah AlBaqarah (2), Verses 1-5]

Your God is One God. There is


no god but Him. He is the Most
Compassionate, Most Merciful.

O Allh! Verily, I present myself


to you, with every breath, and
every blink (of the eye), every

the Heavens and the earth; and
everything that exists, or had
existed, is within Your Infinite
Knowledge. I humbly present all
of this to You.

[Srah Al-Baqarah (2), yah 255]

Allh! There is no god, but Him;


the Ever-Living, the Self
Subsisting, the Eternal One.
Neither slumber nor sleep can
overtake Him. To Him belongs
whatsoever is in the Heavens and
whatsoever is on the earth. Who
is there that can intercede in His
Presence, except by His
Permission? He Knows what will
happen to them (His creatures) in
this world, and what will happen
to them in the Hereafter; nor shall
they comprehend anything at all
of His Knowledge except as He
Wills. His Throne extends over the
Heavens and the earth, and
guarding and preserving it, does
not exhaust Him, for He is the
Exalted, the All-Mighty. [Srah
Al-Baqarah (2), Verse 255]
To Allh belongs all that is in the
Heavens and that is on earth.
Whether you disclose what is in
your selves or conceal it, Allh
will call you to account for it. He
will forgive whom He wishes and
will punish whom He wishes; He
has Power over all things.
The Messenger (Muammad)
believes in what has been revealed
to him from his Lord, and (so do)
the believers. They all believe in
His Angels, His Books and His
Messengers. They say: We do
not differentiate between any of
His Messengers. We hear and we
obey. We ask You forgiveness our
Lord, and to You will we all
return.

Allh will not burden any soul


with more than what it can bear.
It shall be compensated for
whatever good it has done, and it
will be punished for whatever evil
it has done. (Pray:) Our Lord!
Do not take us to task if we forget
or make a mistake. Our Lord, do
not place on us a burden like that
which you have placed on those
before us! Our Lord, do not place
on us a burden that we do not
have the strength to bear! Pardon
us, and grant us forgiveness; and
have Mercy on us. You are our
Protector; so grant us victory
over the disbelieving people.

SRAH AL-KAHF (SRAH 18)


Bismillhir ramanir ram

In the Name of Allh, the Most


Compassionate, the Most
Merciful.
1 Praise be to Allh, Who has
sent to His Servant
(Muammad) - the Book,
which is free from distortions.
2 He rightly directed it, to give a
warning of a severe
punishment from Him, and to
give glad tidings to the
believers who do righteous
deeds, that they shall have a
goodly (excellent) reward.
3 Wherein they shall remain for
ever;
4 And to warn those who say:
God has begotten (fathered)
a son.
5 No knowledge do they have of
this; and neither did their
forefathers. What they say is
disgusting; they are merely
uttering a lie.
6 Perhaps you would (O
Muammad ) fret (upset)
yourself to death in grief, (if
you pursue them with truth) if
they do not believe in this
Message.
7 Verily, We have adorned the
earth with attractive things in
order that We may test them,
as to who of them are best in
conduct.

8 Wa inn lajilna m alayh

8 And Verily, we shall reduce


all that is on earth into dust
and dry soil (barren waste).
9 Do you think (reflect) that the
Companions of the Cave and
the Inscription are wonders
among Our Signs?
10 (Remember) when the young
men fled for refuge to the
Cave? They said: Our Lord!
Bestow on us Mercy from
Yourself and help us along in
our affair.
11 While they were in the Cave,
We cover up their hearing
(cause them to fall into a deep
sleep) for a number of years.
12 Then We woke them up (from
their sleep) in order to test
which of the two groups were
best in calculating the time
they had stayed there.
13 We will relate to you this true
story: They were young men
who believed in their Lord and
We increased them in
guidance.
14 And We strengthened their
hearts.They rose up and said:
Our Lord is the Lord of the
Heavens and the earth. Never
shall we call upon any deity
other than Him. For not
calling on Him only, would be
(a sin) of extremes.

15 These (our people) have taken


for worship gods other than
Him. Why do they not produce
clear evidence about them
(their gods)? And who does
more wrong than he who
contrive falsehoods against
Allh?
16 And when you distance yourself
from them and what they
worship, other than Allh, then
seek refuge in the Cave; your
Lord will extend His Mercy to
you and will make your
concerns easy for you.
17 And you might have seen the
sun when it rose, declining to
the right from their Cave; and
when it set turning away from
them to the left, while they lay
in the middle of the Cave. This
is one of the signs of Allh. He
Whom Allh guides, is rightly
guided, and he Whom He leads
astray, for him will you find no
helper (or guide), to lead him
on the right way.
18 And you would have thought
they were awake, though they
were asleep. And We turned
them on their right and on their
left sides; and their dog laying
at the Caves entrance with its
two forelegs outstretched. If you
had looked at them, you would
have certainly turned back and
fled in fright.

19 In the course of time, We woke


them up from their sleep, so
that they might question one
another. One of them said:
How long have you stayed
(here)? They said: We
stayed (perhaps) a day or part
of a day. They (all) said:
Your Lord (alone) knows
best how long you have
stayed. Let one of you then go
with these silver coins to the
town, and let him find out
which is the good and lawful
food, and bring some of that to
you. Let him conduct himself
with caution and not disclose
your whereabouts to anyone.
20 For if they happen to find out
about you, they will stone you
to death, or force you back
into their faith. In that case
you will never prosper.
21 And thus have We made their
case known (to the people), so
that they might know that the
promise of Allh is true, and
that there can be no doubt
about the Hour of Judgement.
The (towns) people argued
among themselves (about the
sleepers). They said: Build a
monument over them. Their
Lord knows best concerning
them. Those that carried the
day said: Let us surely build
a place of worship over
them.

unrevealed. (Yet others) say

knows best their number. Only
a few know anything about
them. Therefore do not enter
into debate about them (the
Sleepers) except with clear
proof. Nor seek information
about them from anyone.
23 Never say of anything, I shall
do such and such a thing
tomorrow.
24 Without adding,If Allh so
Wills! And remember your
Lord whenever you might
forget. And say: I trust that
my Lord will guide me to that
which is even nearer to the
right path than this.
25 And they stayed in their Cave
three hundred years and
(some) added nine (more).
26 Say: Allh knows best how
long they have stayed in it.
With Him is (the Knowledge
of) the secrets of the Heavens
and the earth. How clearly He
sees, how finely He hears
(everything)! They have no
protector other than Him, and
He does not allow anyone to
share His Sovereignty.

27 And recite (and teach) what has


been revealed to you (O
Muammad) about the Book of
your Lord. None can change
His Words, and none will you
find as a refuge other than Him.
28 And keep your soul content
with those who call on their
Lord morning and evening,
seeking His good pleasure
(Riwn); and do not turn your
eyes away from them, seeking
the pomp and glitter of the life
of this world; and do not obey
those whose hearts We have
made heedless of Our
remembrance; one who
pursues his own desires and
who have exceeded all bounds.
29 And say, The Truth is from
your Lord then whosoever
wills, let him believe, and
whosoever wills, let him reject
(it). Verily, for the wrongdoers have We prepared a Fire
whose (smoke and flames)
walls and roof are like that of
a tent, which will surround
them. And if they ask for help
they will be given water like
boiling oil that will scald their
faces. What a terrible drink!
What an uncomfortable resting
place!
30 Verily, as for those who
believed and did righteous
deeds - We shall certainly not
let the reward of anyone who
does a (single) righteous
deed,go to waste.

Eternity, beneath which rivers
flow. Reclining on raised
couches, they will be adorned
with bracelets of gold and will
wear green robes of fine silk
and heavy brocade; an
excellent reward, and an
excellent resting place!
32 And relate to them the parable
of two men: One of them We
provided with two vineyards
and surrounded them with
date palms; in-between We
placed corn fields.
33 Each of these two gardens
produced its crop and did not
fail to yield (its crop); and We
(even) cause a river to gush
forth in the midst of them.
34 (Abundant) was the fruit he
produced. While conversing
with his companion he said:
I am wealthier than you, and
have more honour and power
(in respect of my followers).
35 And he went into his garden in
a state (of mind) unjust to
himself. He said: I do not
think that this will ever
perish,
36 Nor do I believe that the
Hour of Judgement will (ever)

37 His companion, during the


course of their discussion,
replied: Do you deny Him
Who created you from dust,
then out of a sperm-drop, and
then fashioned you into a
man?
38 But, as far as I am
concerned, Allh alone is my
Lord, and I equate no partners
with Him.
39 When you entered your
garden, why did you not say:
That which Allh wills (will
surely come to pass); and
there is no Power, but with
Allh. Although you see that I
have less wealth and children
than you,
40 My Lord may well give me a
garden better than yours, and
send down thunderbolts from
Heaven, making it (your
garden) but slippery sand!
41 Or its water may sink into
the earth, so that you may
never be able to find it
again!
42 So it was that all his fruits
were destroyed; trellises fell
down; and he wrung his hands
over what he has spent on his
garden. He said: I should not
have associated partners with
my Lord!
43 And he had no group (of men)
to help him against Allh, nor
was he able to defend himself.

44 There, the (only) protection


comes from Allh, the True
One. He is the Best in
rewarding, and the Best in
respect of the final outcome.
45 And relate to them the
example of this worldly life. It
is like the rain which We send
down from the skies; the
earths vegetation absorbs it,
but soon it (the vegetation)
will become dry and broken
pieces, which the winds will
scatter. It is only Allh who
has Power over all things.
46 Wealth and children are the
adornments of the life of this
world. But righteous deeds
that last, are better rewarded
by your Lord, and better in
respect of hope.
47 And the Day will come when
We will remove the mountains
and you will see the earth as a
leveled plain; and We shall
gather all (of mankind)
together, and will not exclude
anyone.
48 And they shall be gathered
before your Lord in rows. And
He will say to them: Now
indeed, have you come to Us;
(bare) as We created you the
first time. Nay, but you
thought that We will not fulfill
Our Promise (about the
appointment) that We made
for you?

49 And the Book (of Deeds) will be

this is! It does not omit a small
or a large deed, but accounts
for everything! They will find
all their deeds placed before
them; and not one will your
Lord treat with injustice.
50 And remember when We said to
the Angels: Prostrate yourself
before Adam. All prostrated
except Ibls (Satan). He was
one of the jinn, and he
disobeyed his Lords command.
Will you then take him and his
offspring as protectors rather
than Me; despite them being
enemies to you? This is an evil
exchange for the wrong-doers!
51 I did not call them to witness
the creation of the Heavens and
the earth, nor their own
creation. I do not take as my
helpers those who lead others
astray!
52 On that Day He will say to
them: Call on those whom you
thought to be My partners,
and they will call on them, but
they will not answer them. And
We shall place a barrier (of
hostility) between them!
53 The sinners will see the Fire,
and will be filled with
trepidation that they will have
to enter it. They shall find no
way to escape from it!

54 We have explained in detail in


this Qurn, for the benefit of
mankind, all kinds of
examples. But man is ever, so
quarrelsome.
55 And nothing prevents people
from believing (especially
men) that guidance has come
to them; and from asking for
forgiveness of their Lord; and
that they adopt the rectitude of
the ancient people, or have the
fury come upon them face to
face.
56 We only sent the Messengers
to bring good news, and to
give warnings. But the
disbelievers use fallacious
arguments to nullify the truth;
treating My Revelations and
My Warnings as jest!
57 And who is more wicked than
the one who is reminded of the
Signs of his Lord, then turns
away from them, forgetting the
deeds that his hands have
done? Verily, We have veiled
their hearts so that they do not
understand Our Words, and
made them hard of hearing.
And if you (O Muammad)
call them to guidance, even
then, will they not accept your
guidance!

58 And your Lord is Most


Forgiving, Most Merciful. If
He were to call them to
account for the wrongs they
have done, He would have
hastened their punishment.
But they have an appointed
time beyond which there will
be no escape for them.
59 And We destroyed these
communities when they kept
on doing wrong; and We fixed
an appointed time for their
destruction.
60 And recall what Moses said to
his young companion: I shall
not give up until I reach the
place where both seas meet,
even if it take me years.
61 But when they reached the
junction where the two seas
meet, they forgot about their
fish, the latter having taken its
course through the sea as in a
tunnel.
62 After they have passed the
place, Moses said to his young
companion: Bring us our
morning meal; we have indeed
been fatigued by this journey.
63 He replied: Did you see
when we were resting next to
the rock, that I forgot the fish?
Satan made me forget it, that
is why I did not mention it. It
made its way to the sea in an
astonishing way!

64 Moses said: That is just what


we were looking for. So they
went back, retracing their
footsteps.
65 Then they found one of Our
bondsmen (Khidr), to whom
We have granted Our Mercy,
and to whom We have given
knowledge from Ourselves.
66 Moses said to him (Khidr):
May I follow you, so that you
may guide me by what you
have been taught?
67 He replied: Verily,, you will
not be able to bear with me
patiently!
68 And how can you have
patience, with matters which
is beyond your knowledge?
69 Moses said: Allh Willing,
you will find me patient, and I
will not disobey you in
anything.
70 He (Khidr) said: Then if you
do follow me, do not ask me
about anything until I speak to
you about it.
71 So they both proceeded; but
when they got into the boat,
the man (Khidr) deliberately
sank the boat. Moses said:
Have you scuttled the boat in
order to drown the people in
it? You have indeed done a
dreadful thing!

72 He (Khidr) replied: Did I not

patiently?
73 Moses said: Do not take me
to task for what I have
forgotten, and do not be hard
on me on account of what I
have done!
74 So they travelled on. Then
they met a youth, who was
then killed by him (Khidr).
Moses said: Have you slain
an innocent person who has
not slain anyone? Indeed you
have done a terrible thing!
75 He answered: Did I not tell
you that you would not be able
to have patience with me?
76 (Moses) replied: If I ever ask
you about anything after this,
then do not let me accompany
you. I will then have given you
sufficient excuse.
77 So they proceeded until they
met the inhabitants of a town.
They ask them for food, but
they were refused hospitality.
They found a wall in the town
which was about to fall down.
His companion buttressed it.
(Moses) said: If you wanted
to, you could have demanded
payment for your labours.
78 He answered: This is where
you and I must part company.
I will now tell you the
meaning of the things you
could not bear with patiently!

79 As for the boat, it belonged to


some poor people who made
their living from the sea. I
wanted to damage it, because
there was a king who was after
their boat, and wanted to seize
it by force.
80 And as for the youth, his
parents were believers, and we
feared that he would trouble
them by being rebellious and
denying the Truth.
81 We wanted their Lord to
replace him with someone
purer than him and more
compassionate.
82 As for the wall, it belonged to
two young orphans in the town,
whose father had been a
righteous man; and
underneath the wall lay a
treasure meant for them. So
your Lord wanted them to
come af age and then to dig up
their treasure. This is a Mercy
from Him. I did not do (it) of
my own accord. That is the
explanation of the things about
which you were not able to
exercise patience.
83 They will ask you about Dhul
Qarnayn. Say: I will give you
an account of him.

power on earth, and We gave
him the means to achieve all
things.

85 So he travelled on a certain
road,
86 Until, when he reached the
setting of the sun, he found it
set in a spring of murky water;
and near it he found some
people. We said: O Dhul
Qarnayn! You can either
punish them, or else you can
treat them with kindness.
87 He said: We shall certainly
punish him who does wrong;
then he shall be brought back
to his Lord, who will punish
him with a grievous
punishment.
88 But whoever believes and do
righteous deeds, he shall have
the best reward (Paradise),
and We shall make easy his
task, by Our command.
89 Then he followed yet another
way,
90 Until, when he came to the
rising place of the sun, he
found it rising on a people for
whom We had provided no
shelter from it (the sun).
91 He left them as they were. He
completely understood what
he was observing (of the
people).
92 Then he followed still another
way,
93 Until he reached (a tract)
between two mountains, where
next to them, he found a
people who could scarcely

The Gog and Magog (people)
are causing corruption in the
land. So, may we pay you
tribute, on condition that you
erect a barrier between us and
them?
95 He said: What my Lord has
given (of power) is better
(than any tribute); so help me
with strength (man-power)
and I will erect a strong
barrier between you and
them.
96 Bring me blocks of iron.
Then when he had filled the
gap between the two
mountain-sides, he said,
Blow (with your bellows).
Then when the iron blocks
were red with heat, he said:
Bring me molten lead to pour
over it.
97 So they (the Gog and Magog
people) could not scale or dig
through it.
98 He said: This is a Mercy
from my Lord, but when the
promise of my Lord come to
pass, He will level it to dust;
and the promise of my Lord is
true.
99 On that Day We shall make
them cascade like waves on
one another; and the Trumpet
will be blown; and We shall
assemble them all together.

unbelievers,

In the Name of Allh, the Most


Compassionate, the Most
Merciful
1 Alif Lm Mm.
2 (This is) the revelation of the
Book in which there is no
doubt, from the Lord of the
Worlds.
3 Or do they say, He (Muammad)has forged it? No, it is
the Truth from your Lord, that
you may warn a people to
whom no warner has come
before you, in order that they
may be guided.
4 Allh, it is He Who has
created the heavens and the
earth, and all that is between
them in six days; and is firmly
established on the Throne (of
authority); you have none,
besides Him, to protect or
intercede (for you); will you
not then receive admonition?
5 He rules (all) affairs from the
heavens to the earth, in the end
will (all affairs) go up to Him,
on a Day, the space whereof
will be (as) a thousand years of
your reckoning.
6 Such is He, the Knower of all
things, hidden and open, the
Exalted (in power), the Merciful.
7 He Who has made everything
which He has created most
Good; He began the creation
of man with (nothing more
than) clay.

8 Then He made his progeny


from semen of worthless
water.
9 Then He fashioned him in due
proportion, and breathed into
him something of His spirit.
And He gave you (the faculties
of) hearing and sight and
feeling (and understanding);
little is the thanks that you
give!
10 And they say: What! When
we lie hidden and lost in the
earth, shall we indeed be
created anew? No, they deny
the Meeting with their Lord!
11 Say: The Angel of Death, put
in charge of you, will (duly)

be brought back to your

12 If only you could see when the
guilty ones will bend low their

then send us back (to the
world), we will do righteous
good deeds. Verily, we now
believe with certainty.
13 If We had so willed, We could
certainly have brought every
soul its true guidance; but the
Word from Me will come true:
I will fill Hell with Jinns and
men all together.

14 Then taste you (the torment


of the Fire), because you
forgot the Meeting of this Day
of yours, (and) surely! We too
will forget you; so taste you
the abiding torment for what
you used to do!
15 Only those believe in Our Signs,
who, when they are recited to
them, fall down prostrate, and
celebrate the Praises of their
Lord, nor are they (ever) puffed
up with pride.
16 Their limbs do forsake their
beds of sleep, the while they
call on their Lord, in Fear and
Hope; and they spend (charity
in Allhs cause) out of what
We have bestowed on them.
17 Now no person knows what is
kept hidden for them of joy, as
a reward for what they used to
do.
18 Is then the man who believes
no better than the man who is
rebellious and wicked? Not
equal are they.
19 As for those who believe and
do righteous deeds, are
Gardens as hospitable homes,
for their (good) deeds.
20 As to those who are rebellious
and wicked, their abode will
be the Fire; every time they
wish to get away therefrom,
they will be forced thereinto,
and it will be said to them:
Taste you the torment of the
Fire,which you used to deny.

21 And indeed We will make them


taste of the penalty of this
(life) prior to the supreme
penalty, in order that they may
(repent and) return.
22 And who does more wrong
than one to whom are recited
the Signs of his Lord, and who
then turns away therefrom?
Verily, from those who
transgress We shall exact
(due) Retribution.
23 And indeed We gave Moses
the Scripture (the Torah); so
be not then in doubt of its
reaching (you); and We made
it a guide to the children of
Israel.
24 And We appointed, from
among them, leaders, giving
guidance under Our
command, so long as they
persevered with patience and
continued to have faith in Our
Signs.
25 Verily, your Lord will judge
between them on the Day of
Judgement, in the matters
about which they differ
(among themselves).
26 Does it not teach them a
lesson, about the many
generations We destroyed
before them, and in whose
dwellings they (now) go to and
fro? Verily, in that are Signs;
do they not then listen?

Compassionate, the Most
Merciful.

2 By the Manifest Book
(Qurn) that makes things
clear.
3 We sent it down on a Blessed
Night; Verily, for We always
like to warn mankind (against
committing evil).
4 On that Night, every wise
Decree is specified,
5 By Our Own Command; We
have consistently sent
Messengers,
6 As a Mercy from Us; He is
All-Hearing and All-Knowing.
7 He is the Lord of the Heavens
and the earth and all that is
between them; if only you
would really believe!
8 There is no god but He; it is
He Who gives both life and
death; He is your Lord and
the Lord of your forefathers.
9 Yet they twiddle with their
doubts.
10 Then watch out for the Day
when the sky will emit a
visible smoke,
11 That will engulf the people;
this will be a painful
punishment.
12 (They will say:) Our Lord!
Remove this torment from us,
for truly we now believe in
You.

13 How will they benefit from an


admonition, seeing that a
Messenger has already come
to them explaining things
clearly?
14 Then they turned away from
him and said: He is a mad
man, taught by others.
15 Verily, We shall remove the
torment for a while. But
indeed, you will revert back to
denial of the Truth.
16 On an (appointed) Day We
shall afflict on you (sinners) a
dire affliction; We will
certainly exact retribution!
17 And indeed, We tried the
people of Pharoah before
them; a noble Messenger
(Moses) was sent to them.
18 Saying:Hand over Allhs
bondsmen to me. I am a
trustworthy Messenger.
19 Do not elevate yourselves
above Allh. Verily,, I have
come to you with distinct
commands
20 And Verily, I seek refuge
with my Lord and your Lord,
in the event that you stone me.
21 If you do not believe me, then
keep away from me and leave
me alone.
22 (But they were aggressive) so
he (Moses) called upon his
Lord saying:Indeed, these
are the people who are
sinners.

servants at night, for you will
certainly be pursued.
24 And leave the sea behind you
as it is quiet and parted;
Verily, they are mobilized
soldiers, and will be
drowned.
25 How many gardens and
springs did they (Pharoahs
people) leave behind,
26 And corn-fields and splendid
buildings,
27 And wealth (and conveniences
of life), in which they
delighted.
28 Such was their end; and what
were theirs, We gave to other
people to inherit.
29 And neither Heaven nor earth
wept for them; nor were they
allowed any breathing space
(again).
30 And indeed, We saved the
children of Israel from a
humiliating torment,
31 That would have been inflicted
by Pharoah. He was a tyrant
(arrogant) who exceeded all
bounds.
32 And indeed, We chose them
(the children of Israel)
knowingly above all other
nations (mankind and Jinn),
33 And showed them signs in
which there was a clear test.
34 Verily, these people (the
Quraysh who deny the truth)
are saying:

36 Then raise our forefathers
(from their death beds) if what
you say is true!
37 Are they better than the people
of Tubba and those who came
before them? We destroyed
them, because they were
indeed, sinners.
38 We did not idly create the
Heavens and the earth and all
that lies in-between.
39 We did not create them except
for a purpose; yet, most
people do not have knowledge
of this (purpose).
40 Verily, the Day of Judgement
is the time appointed for all of
them.
41 The Day when no friend
(Mawl) shall be of any
assistance, nor shall any be
helped,
42 Except those to whom Allh
show Mercy. Indeed, He is the
Mighty, the Most Merciful.
43 Verily, the fruit of the Zaqqm
tree,
44 Shall be the food of the
sinners.

in their bellies,
46 Like the boiling of hot water.

considered yourself the

doubted!
51 Verily, the righteous (and
pious) ones will be in a safe
place,
52 Among Gardens and Springs;
53 Dressed in fine silk and in rich
brocade; and they will face
each other.
54 So (it will be). We shall marry
them to maidens with
beautiful, big and lustrous
eyes.
55 In the peace and security (of
the Garden) they will be able
to ask for any fruit.
56 Nor will they (in the Garden)
taste death, except the first
death (of this world), and He
will save them from the
torment of the Blazing Fire,
57 As an act of Grace from your
Lord! That will be the
supreme achievement!

may take heed (remember).

SRAH AL-MUZZAMMIL (SRAH 73)


Bismillhir ramnir ram.

In the Name of Allh, the Most


Compassionate, the Most
Merciful.
1 O you who are covered up in
your garments!
2 Stand (in prayer) at night, but
not the whole night.
3 May-be half the night, or a
little less than half,
4 Or a little more. And recite the
Qurn in slow, measured and
rhythmic tones.
5 Verily, We are about to send
down to you a Message of
substantial gravity.
6 Surely, getting up at night is
most compelling for subduing
the soul, and most conducive
for formulating the Word (of
Prayer and Praise).
7 Verily, the day is long enough
for you to occupy yourself
with ordinary duties.
8 But remember the Name of
your Lord and devote yourself
to Him whole-heartedly.
9 He is the Lord of the east and
the west; there is no god but
He, so take Him as your
Guardian.
10 Bear patiently with what they
say, and keep away from them
in a polite way.
11 Leave it to Me to deal with the
deniers of Truth, who live a
life of comfort; and have
patience with them for a little
while.

12 We have in store for them


heavy chains and shackles (to
restrain them) and a Blazing
Fire (to burn them).
13 And food that will choke them,
and a painful torment.
14 On the Day, the earth and the
mountains will shake
(violently), and the mountains
will crumble into shifting sand
that will be flowing down.
15 Verily, We have sent to you,
(O men!) a Messenger
(Muammad) to be a witness
of your deeds, as We have
previously sent a Messenger
(Moses) to Pharaoh.
16 But Pharaoh disobeyed the
Messenger (Moses); so We
inflicted him with a severe and
forceful punishment.
17 If you persist in denying the
Truth, how will you possibly
escape the Day; That Day that
will turn childrens hair grey?
18 The Day when the Heavens
will be cleft asunder? (Know
that) Allhs promise shall be
fulfilled!
19 Verily, this is a warning! So,
let him who will, walk on the
straight path to his Lord.
20 Verily, your Lord knows that
you stand up and pray at night
two thirds of it, a half of it
and sometimes one third of it
as do others (that is those
that follow you.) It is Allh
who determine the extent of
night and day.

He Knows that you are unable


to pray the whole night; so,
He has been Merciful to you!
Recite then, as much of the
Qurn as is easy for you. He
is aware that there may be
some among you who are ill;
and others who will be
travelling throughout the land
in search of His Bounty; and
yet others who may be fighting
in His Cause. So then, recite
as much of the Qurn as you
are comfortable with; and be
constant in prayer; and give
regular charity; and give to
Allh a goodly gift. And
whatever good deeds you send
on before you for your souls,
you will find it with Allh. And
for those (good deeds) you
will be richly rewarded. And
seek Allhs forgiveness, for
He is Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful.

SRAH AL-BURJ (SRAH 85)


Bismillhir ramnir ram.

In the Name of Allh, the Most


Compassionate, the Most
Merciful.
1 By the Sky, (displaying) the
Zodiacal Signs.
2 And by the Promised Day (of
Judgement).
3 And by the one that witnesses,
and the subject of the witness;
4 Cursed are the makers of the
pit (of fire),
5 Of Fire fed with fuel.
6 They sat next to it (the fire),
7 Witnessing and gazing at what
they were doing to the
believers,
8 Whom they ill-treated, for no
reason, except that they (the
believers) believed in Allh,
the All-Mighty, worthy of all
Praise.
9 Him, to Whom belongs the
Kingdom of the Heavens and
the earth. And Allh is a
Witness to all things.
10 Those who persecute (or draw
into temptation) the believing
men and believing women,
and then do not repent, will
surely suffer the punishment of
Hell, and the torment of the
Blazing Fire.
11 But those who believe and do
righteous deeds, shall be
rewarded with Gardens
watered by flowing rivers
(Paradise), that is the
supreme reward!

14 And He is the Oft-Forgiving,
full of Loving-Kindness.
15 The Lord of the

16 He does what He intends (or

17 Have you not heard the story

19 Yet, the Unbelievers (persist)

deeds).

3 It is the shining star.
4 There is no soul (human being)
but it has a protector over it.
5 Let man reflect from what he was
created!
6 He was created from an emitted
squirting fluid,
7 Which issues from between the
backbone and the ribs.
8 Verily, Allh is able to bring him
back (to life)!
9 On the Day that (all) secrets will
be disclosed,
10 (Man) will have no power, and
no helper.
11 By the sky (having rain clouds)
which gives rain again and
again.
12 And the earth which splits open
(with new growth of plants and
trees).
13 Verily, this (the Qurn) is the
Word (that seperates truth from
falsehood),
14 Which must not be taken lightly.
15 Verily, they are plotting and
scheming,
16 And so am I (Allh).
17 So bear with those who deny the
truth, and deal gently with them.

SRAH AL-U (SRAH 93)


Bismillhir ramnir ram.

In the Name of Allh, the Most


Compassionate, the Most
Merciful.
1 By the glorious morning light,
2 And by the night when it is
tranquil,
3 Your Guardian-Lord has not
forsaken you, nor is He
displeased with you.
4 And the Hereafter will indeed
be better for you than the
present (life).
5 Soon your Guardian-Lord will
give (all good) with which you
will be well-pleased.
6 Did He not find you an orphan
and then sheltered you?
7 And He found you unaware (of
the Qurn etc.) and guided
you;
8 And He found you in need,
and He made you
independent.
9 Therefore, do not treat the
orphan with harshness,
10 And do not dismiss the one
who asks for help.
11 And make known the Bounty
and Grace of your Lord.

hardship there is ease;

the Spirit (R) (Jibrl) come
down with the permission of
their Lord with all Decrees.

until the appearance of dawn.

 THE POEM OF IMM ABU


BAKR BIN ABDULLH ALAYDARS:

 THE POEM OF IMM ABU


BAKR BIN ABDULLH ALAYDARS:

Ilh nasaluka bilismil aam,


wa jhil muaf farrij alayn.

My Lord, we ask You by the


Greatest Name, and by the Honour
of the Chosen One, to grant us
relieve.
With the Name of Allh, our
Master; we have begun, and we
Praise Him for His favours upon us.

Bi-bismillhi mawlnabtadayn,
wa namaduh al namhu fn.
Tawassaln bih f kulli amrin,
ghiythil khalqi rabbil lamn.

Through this medium we implore


You in every matter; Succour of
creation; Lord of the Worlds.

Wa bilasmi m waradat
binain, wa m filghaybi
makhznan man.

And by all Names divinely


revealed, and by those unrevealed,
protected and preserved.

Bikulli kitbin anzalah tal,


wa qurnin shif lilmuminn.

And by every Divine Book that


the Most High has revealed, and
by the Qurn a cure for the
believers.
And by the Guide (the Prophet), we
ask him to intercede (in our request
to You) and take recourse to him;
and by all the Prophets and
Messengers,
And by their families and all their
Companions; we ask them to
intercede (in our request to You) as
well as the generations who
followed them.
And we invoke you by all the
angelic hosts; and by all the hidden
knowledge of my Lord.
And by the scholars (preserving)
the command of Allh (i.e the
religion), one and all; and by all the
saints and righteous ones.

Wa bilhd tawassaln waludhn,


wa kullil ambiy wal mursaln.

Wa lihimu maal abi jam,


tawassaln wa kullit-tbin.

Bikulli awifil amlki nad,


bim f ghaybi rabb ajman.
Wa bilulam biamrillhi turrn,
wa kullil awliy walin.

Akhuu bihil immal quba


aqqan, wa jihaddni tjal rifn.

I mention especially the Imm, the


true Qutb, the Eminence of the
Religion, the Crown of all Gnostics.
He ascended and established
himself firmly in the station of
spiritual authority; and mastered
both the Sacred Law and Spiritual
Certainty.
And the invocation of al-Aydars,
the Qutb is most potent in removing
the rust of the heart of the truthful
ones.
Virtuous one of the religion, true
Reviver of the Religion; with him
lies our arbitration and we follow
his example.
And we dont forget to mention
Kaml Al-Dn Al-Sad; one of
exalted spiritual state and crown of
the worshippers.
(And the composer of theses verses,
Ab Bakr, an Imm whom his Lord
endowed with immense stature).
Through them we beseech the
Master, the Most High; for
forgiveness that will enshroud all
who are present.
And to show all encompassing
gentleness (from Him) and
continuous concealment as well as
forgiveness for every sinner.
We close these verses with a great
fortification with Allhs Might, we
can never be overpowered.
Allhs protective veil is draped
upon us; and Allhs Eye is
attentively upon us.
We complete this poem with
salutations upon Muammad, Imm
of all and the best of intercessors.

Raq f rutbatittamkni marq, wa


qad jamaash-sharata wal
yaqn.

Wa dhikrul aydarsil qubi ajl,


anil qalbiad lidifn.

Affiddni muyiddni aqqan,


lah takmun wa bihiq tadayn.

Wa l nans kamladdni sadan,


amal l tjal bidn.

(Wa nimah ab bakrin


imman, abhu ilhuh jhan
makn).
Bi him nad ilal mawl tal,
bighufrnin yaummul irn.

Wa lufin shmilin wa dawmi


satrin, wa ghufrnin likullil
mudhnibn.
Wa nakhtimuh bitanin
amin, biawlillhi l yuqdar
alayn.
Wa sitrullhi masblun alayn,
wa aynullhi niratun ilayn.
Wa nakhtimu bialti al
Muammad, immil kulli
khayrish-shfin.

Never fulfill any of their

fail miserably.
(Protect us) from the evil of the
cunning, the treacherous, and the
deceitful.

As well as on his family and

And Praise, first and foremost,
be to Allh; cover for us all our

NOTES

Khulah: literally means the dregs of milk in the bottom of the


cooking pot, or, the fire that has purified the butter, the gold or the
silver. In the context of this book, the Khulah is the quintessence
of remembrances that are contained in this collection of litanies
(adhkr) and supplications (adiyah). It is a specially chosen
collection that has been handed down to us from the great spiritual
masters over the generations. Hence, we have entitled this book:
The Cream of Remembrance. By remembrance here, we mean the
remembrance of Allh (dhikrullh). This refers to the invocation of
the Divine Names. The Qurn refers to this remembrance in the
following verses; Remember Me, and I will remember you.
(fadhkurn adhkurkum) [Srah Al-Baqarah (2), Verse 152]; Invoke
the Name of your Lord, and devote yourself to Him with utter
devotion [Srah Al-Muzzammil (73), Vesre 8]; and: The
remembrance of Allh is the greatest. (wa ladhikrullhi akbar)
[Srah Al-Ankabt (29), Verse 45]

Imam Abd Allh bin Alawi al-Haddad (d. 1132 A.H/1720 C.E)
lived his entire life in the town of Tarim in Yemens Valley of
aramawt. He is a Sufi sage, who adhered to the Ashari Sunni
Creed of Faith (aqdah), while in Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), he
was a Shfii.
3

See Edward Lane for the literal meaning of wird (pl. awrd), which
means A coming to, or arriving at, the water, whether one enters it
or not. In the Islamic context it refers to a set portion of the Qur'an,
or any other specific act of worship, which the worshipper commits
himself or herself to recite or perform, either at a particular time or
occasion or on a regular basis. In Sfism it is a practice of repeating
the Names of Allh, and a set of invocations assigned to the murd
(disciple) by his Shaykh (spiritual master). The term murd comes
from irdah, which means will, for the disciple should hand over

597

his will to the spiritual teacher so that he may discover himself. A


wird is a unit of dhikr constructed to contain in it certain patterns of
knowledge and self-awakening. The style and formulae of the awrd
vary greatly, but often include an asking of forgiveness (istighfr), a
prayer on the Prophet Muammad  and the shahdah (declaration
of faith). Wird may be translated as litany, which comes from
ecclesiastical Latin litania, and refers to Christian prayers and
entreaties. Thus, the term wird is not translatable, and so we shall
retain its Arabic usage in most cases.
4

Adhkr is the plural of dhikr, an invocation of Allh that can be


rendered as "Remembrance of Allh. Dhikr, which forms part of the
wird, typically involves the repetition of the Names of Allh,
supplications taken from the Qurn and the adth. The Qurn
often speaks of dhikr as an act of worshipRemember Me, and I will
remember you (fadhkurn adhkurkum) [Srah Al-Baqarah (2),
Verse 152]. Since we cannot find a suitable English equivalent for
dhikr, we shall retain the Arabic usage in most cases.

Vigil, or spending the night in prayer

The Ftiah refers to the opening chapter of the Qurn, Srah alFtiah, which is recited in the standing position of the alh, and
which may be preceded softly or audibly by the basmalah.

Ikhl (lit. sincerity, purity). That sincerity which is to


surrender to Allh, with all ones heart, and all ones mind, and all
ones soul. In Islam this is the affirmation of the Divine Unity. This
is accomplished virtually by the first shahdah, seeing that there
is no god but Allh.
8

In the context of the spirit being mentioned after the Angels, it


implies that it is Jibrl. In Srah al-Qadr the same sequence appears
The Angels and Jibrl (R) descend

The person repeats more or less 200 times, O Allh, and intends
with each repetition, that Allh will fulfill all his needs.
598

10

Cf. Qurn, [Srah Al-alq 65, Verse 3]: wa yarzuqhu min


aythu la yatasib [And He will supply him with the means of
subsistence whence he does not reckon,or expect].
11

Qutb literally means 'axis' or 'pole around which something


revolves'. In the nomenclature of the science of Taawwuf, it refers
to the title given to the one who has reached the highest level of
sainthood in his time.

12

Wajh al-Dn - this term in Arabic is literally translated as


Eminence of the Religion but in the Arab culture it is usually a
title given to a person whose name is Abdullh. The author here is
referring to his father Shaykh Abdullh bin Ab Bakr al-Aydars
also known as Al-Aydars al-Akbar.

13

The invocation of Imm al-Aydars referred to as Al-Dhikr alAydarsiyyah. It comprises of reciting L ilha illallh 12000
times; Allh Allh 12000 times and Hu Hu (the Divine Pronoun)
12000 times; after every prayer obligatory prayer. It is usually given
by the Shaykh to the Murd at the beginning of his initiation into the
Spiritual Path. If it cannot be read daily 12000 times, then 1200
times each, and if not then 12 times after every obligatory prayer.
Shaykh Abdullh bin Ab Bakr al-Aydars mentioned that the
invocation of L ilha illallh is the key which unlocks the heart,
the invocation of Allh Allh is they key which unlocks the soul
and the invocation of Hu Hu is the key which unlocks the secret
(the innermost perceptive sense in a human being beyond the soul).
This line could also have the meaning of and the mention of
Aydars, the Qutb is most potent for removing the rust of the
heart. This would then refer to the softness of the heart that occurs
when one studies the biographies of these great Saints, or hears
about their lives and sacrifices, because it is then that the desire to
emulate them is sparked in the heart and that the hearts awaken from
its slumber. It has also been mentioned in some narrations that by
mentioning the pious, mercy descends.

599

14

Aff al-Dn: a title in Arabic given to someone with the name


Abdullh.
15

Kaml al-Dn: a title that was given to Shaykh Sad bin Ali alMadhaj, (see next note) Shaykh Sa`d bin `Ali B Madaj

16

Shaykh Sad was taken as a young child to live in the house of


Shaykh Abdurramn al-Saqqf. It is thus not surprising that he
subsequently became a master of the Sharah, the arqah and the
aqqah. He was known for his acts of worship and immense
etiquette with the Ahl al-Bayt. It was said of him and Imm
Abdullh al-Aydars, that they were so close to each other, that
they were one like one. He was the Shaykh of Imm Ab Bakr alAdan (who wrote this poem). He died in 857 Hijr (1453 CE).
17

Ab Bakr al-Adani, son of al-Aydars al-Akbar.

18

This line is not in the original poem but was added by Al abb
Ibrhm bin Umar bin Aql, who was the Muft of Taiz

19

Ma'iyya comes from ma'a which means with and therefore we


translated the term here as withness. There is an allusion here to
the concept of being with Allh and the Prophet in all states at
all times. See how the word is used in the Qurn in various verses,
eg. Allh is with the Patient, and other verses like it. Also when
ordering the believer to pray with the Prophet in the prayer of
fear; let them pray with you.
Finally as the author mentions, this is a subtle secret and is therefore
beyond understanding except for whom Allh has opened its
meaning. May Allh grant us understanding.
20

Sir translated as secret; in the classification of the Sfis it refers


to as the deepest perceptive sense of a human being, after the Ego,
Heart and Soul.

600

21

There is difference of opinion what it refers to. One opinion is


that bih or it here refers to the number five khamsa, referring to
the five persons through whom the author is entreating Allh to
accept his prayer. The five are the Ahl Kis and they are, the
Prophet , his family, his Companions, Ali, Fatimah, assan and
ussein . This is a line from another poem which many authors
use in their works. Another opinion is that it refers to the litany
itself or something secret between the the author and Allh .
22

The 8th form of the verb, akafa, means to seclude oneself in the
mosque, performing certain religious duties, fasting for a day or
more, and occupying oneself with religious devotions and
meditations, and not leaving your abode except for human necessity.
Itikf may therefore be defined as: withholding oneself from the
customary exercises of freedom of action in the disposal or
management of affairs, secluding oneself and being preoccupied
with religious devotions.

23

Literally, a powerful rope, but it refers to the divine covenant,


which is the means of access to Allh, via the Qurn, the Sunnah,
and endowed intelligence. According to al-Rghib al-Isfahni, it is
the means of access to a thing, and with reference to the verse:
wataim biablillhi (And hold fast to the covenant of Allh)
[Srah l-Imrn ( 3), Verse 103], it means to follow the Qurn
and abstain from schism, which are the means of obtaining
protection from Allh.

24

Literally: prayer, pl. alawt. The verb from which it is derived


is alla (to hallow); as an act of Allh, it is translated as to bless;
as an act of prayer it is translated as to pray. alh is the canonical
prayer as opposed to the supplication to Allh which is called du.
It consists of a series of movements and recitations, and is thus a
ritual or an act of worship, in contrast to the supplication that is
associated with prayer in the West.

601

25

The repetition of this should be increased after the Fajr and


Maghrib prayer, and preceded by wal awla wala quwata ill billh
al-aliyy al-am.
26

alt al-Fajr, also alt a-ub, morning prayer, two rakat, out
loud. Its time is between the moment of dawning when a a thread
of light appears on the horizon, until the actual rising of the sun (alshurq).

27

alt al-Maghrib, or sunset prayer, three rakat the first two


rakat are out loud, the third silent. The prayer may be performed
any time during the period of approximately twenty minutes starting
four minutes after the setting of the sun below the horizon until the
last red glow (shafaq) in the sky.
28

This is the 36th Srah in the Qurn. Otherwise Ysn is among


the 'Cryptic Letters' and the real meaning of which is with Allh
alone. Everything has a heart, and the heart of Qurn is Srah Ysn.

29

Yay bin Sharaf al-Nawaw (d. 676 A.H/1278 C.E) was a Shfii
in jurisprudence, an
Ashari in theology, and famous for his Arbain adthan (forty
adth), of which he has also written a commentary.
30

alt al-uhr, the noonday prayer, four rakat, silent.

31

Srah 56.

32

The term means a party, but in this context it signifies a wird. In


Edward Lanes Arabic-English Lexicon, it states: A set portion of the
Qurn and of prayer, of which a man imposes upon himself the
recital on a particular occasion, or at a particular time. In Arabic
you say: qaraa izbuh minal Qurn (He recited his set portion of
the Qurn).

602

33

The izb al-Bar, composed by Imm al-Shdhil, uses passages


from the Qurn. Its recital is famous for saving Damascus from
conquest by the enemy. Its power resides in the Arabic litany. The
groups of letters are the mysterious isolated letters which stand
before 29 srahs. Seven consecutive srahs begin with the letters,
and these, together with other letters, are called the awamim.

34

Ab al-asan Ali bin Abdullh (d. 656 A.H/1258 C.E), called


Imm al-Shdhil, as the founder of the Shdhiliyyah fi order,
which also includes the Darqawiyyah and the Alawiyyah. He left no
writings, except for a half-dozen litanies such as izb al-Bar
(Litany of the Sea), izb al-Barr (Litany of the earth), and izb alNar (Litany of Help). The essence of his teaching is masterfully
contained in the Kitb al-ikam (Book of Aphorisms) of Ibn Ata
Allh (d. 709 A.H/1309 C.E)
35

Al-Stirah: literally means cover, but in this context it means


that these delusions and conjectures prevent the hearts from
apprehending the Unseen realities.
36

Cf. Qurn, [Srah al-d (38), Verses 18 and 36].

37

Cf. [Srah Al-Muminn (23), Verse 88].

38

The Islamic community as identified by its law, religion, group


consciousness, ethic and mores.
39

Wa kabatul munqalib: literally: from the being in an evil state


in respect of the returning from my journeying, to my home (See
Edward Lane).
40

Then he recites what is easy from the Qurn, and guides him to
the spirits of the dead and the living, and our master Imm Amad
bin al-asan al-Aas al-Alaw, who died in Huraydah in
aramawt 1334 Hijri, used to encourage this and said: Verily,

603

these pious actions are written on the pages of the living ,and a
mercy for the dead, and it is the best for them of all gifts.
41

yat al-Kurs (lit. the Verse of the Footstool). A single Verse of


the Qurn [Srah Al-Baqarah (2), Verse 255] of more than average
length, it is one of the principle verses of refuge and protection,
known as yat al-if: It is recited in Arabic as a means of
entrusting ones self to Allhs care, and is often written on amulets.

42

Al-Batul: refers in this context to Fimah al-Zahrah; the mother of


asan and usayn.
43

Murta; refers to Sayyidina Ali bin Ab lib (may Allh be


pleased with him).
