Hizb al-Fath - The Litany of the Opening of Imam Shadhili qaddas Allahu Sirru

Hizb al-Fath - The Litany of the Opening of Imam Shadhili qaddas Allahu Sirru

Full Hizb al-Fath of imam Shadhili (Qaddas Allahu Sirru)

Hizb al-Fath is to read at the Dawn Fajr. It's function is to strenthen Iman (Faith) of the believer. This is done through reading;

La ilaha illallahu Adam Safiyullah, 

La ilaha illallahu Nuh Najiullah, 

La ilaha illallahu Ibrahim Khaleeyullah,

La ilaha illallahu Ismael Dhabiyullah, 

La ilaha illallahu Musa Khaleemullah, 

La ilaha illallahu Dawood Khaleefathullah,

La ilaha illallahu Isa Ruhullah,

La ilaha illallahu Muhammad Habibullah Sallallahu alahi wa sallam.

Note there is a difference between Hizb al-Fath (Fath) and Hizb Nur(Light).

Hizb al-Fath and Hizb Nur are about 85% or so the same,  they have different beginnings and then ending differently.

Hizb al-Nur being slightly longer, ending extra Quranic ayats. And also there have some difference within the text too.

Notes:

La ilaha illallahu Ibrahim Khaleeyullah,

La ilaha illallahu Ismael Dhabiyullah, 

La ilaha illallahu Musa Khaleemullah, 

La ilaha illallahu Dawood Khaleefathullah,

There is nothing worthy to call a God, but Allah Ibrahim is the Friend of Allah.

There is nothing worthy to call a God, but Allah Ismael is the Sacrifice of Allah.

There is nothing worthy to call a God, but Allah Isa is the Spirit of Allah.

There is nothing worthy to call a God, but Allah Muhammad is Beloved of Allah.

Which You have given to us on the tongue of Your Messenger in order that we may worship You to the extent of our ability and not to the extent of Your Ability

“Shall the requital for Goodness be other than goodness from You?” (55:60)

Oh You by Whom and from Whom and to Whom everything returns

With whose Name no Harm shall come to anything on the earth or in the skies and He Hears All and Knows All

And the Sanctity of the of; “Say He is One, Allah The Eternally Existant, Neither bearing nor born, and no being equals Him one” Surah Ikhas (112)

Shroud me from every forgetfulness and lustful desire and rebellion that lies before me or behind me

Shroud me from all Claimants who make claim upon me from Your Creation whether rightfully or wrongly, in this world and the last

For Truly You are The Proof confirmed and You are have Power over all things

And Shroud me from Anxiety concerning my substance-(Rizq) and Fear of creation 

And unwind to me the path of the Sincerity and support me by the Truth

And Shroud us from all torment from above us or from beneath our feet or that torment which makes us separate into groups or torment which makes us taste the aggression of each other.

And Shroud us from *all Anxiety and grief and every terror* underlying obsession this side of the Garden 

And Shroud us from evil that is connected to Your Knowledge of what was and is and of what is not and what cannot be

Truly You have Power over all things (2:19)

Praise The King, The Creator, Praise, The Bestower

Praise to Allah over all that they attribute to Him

The Knower of the Unseen and Seen and He is Exalted above their Idolatry-(Shirk)

Praise to Him The Sovereign of the Earthly Creation and the Angelic Domain

Praise to Who gives life and death, Praise to The Living Who shall not die

Praise to Sovereign King of Ultimate Power, Praise to The Exalted, The Over Powering

And He is Dominant above His slaves, And He is The All Wise, The Knowing

Say Allah  suffices, No Divinity except Him, I reply upon Him and upon Him do all the trusting ones place their trust

I take Refuge In Allah from Struggle of Tribulation

Personal Note: ( ‘Audhubillahi min Jaddil-Balah – This is the Dua i say when i give Sadaqah) 

And from torment of the Judgement and from continual dissension and hauteur-(pride) of my enemies 

And I take Refuge in Allah my Lord of all things from arrogant beings who do not believe in the Day of the Final Accounting 

Oh You in who Hand is Dominion over everything, and Who protects while there is no protection against him (23:88)

Support me by fear of You and trust upon You, So that I fear no one but You, and worship nothing beside You

Oh “Creator of the Seven Heavens and the Earths like unto them and the Order that descends between them” (65:12)

I bear witness that You have Power over all things and that everything is encompassed by Your Knowledge

I beg You by that Order that is the Foundation of all Existence

Which is the Beginning and the End of all Ends

To render subservient-(Tusakh-kharta) unto us this Sea

The Sea of the World and what is in it and who is in it as you Subjugated-(sakh-kharta) the Fire to Ibrahim

 (peace be upon him)

And Subjugate-(sakh-kharta) the Mountains and Iron to David

(peace be upon him)

And Subjugate-(sakh-kharta) the Wind and Shaytans and Jinns to Sulayman

(peace be upon him)

And Subjugate-(sakh-khirli) to me every Sea and Subjugate to me every Earth of Yours

(peace be upon him)

And Subjugate-(sakh-khirli) to me all Iron

And Subjugate-(sakh-khirli) to me Every Wind and Every Shaytan from the Jinns and from the People

And Subjugate-(sakh-khirli) to me my Nafs-Self and Subjugate to me all things

Oh You in whose Hands is Dominion over everything, let the totality of my affair be by Certainty and aid me by the Clear Victory, “Truly You have Power over all things” (3:29)

And there is no Power and no Strength expect with Allah, The All High, The Exalted

And the Greetings  of Allah upon our Master Muhammad and Intercessor and Beloved Muhammad and upon his Family of Noble House and upon the Companions and Followers and their Followers and the Righteous Slaves of Allah with Pure Goodness until the Day of Judgement and with Your Mercy, Oh Merciful Bestower of Mercy

Thousand fold of peace, Thousand fold of peace, 1 Million fold of peace in our Hearts.

Some Notes: 12 times the word (subjugate to me - Sakhir) is used

أنْ تُسَخِرَ لى هَذا البَحرَ بَحرَ الدُنيا وَمَا فِيهِ وَمِن فيهِ كَما سَخَرتَ البَحرَ لمُوسي وَسَخرتَ النَارَ لإبراهيمَ وَسخرتَ الجِبالَ وَالحَديدَ لدَاودَ وَسخَرتَ الرياحَ وَالشياطينَ وَالجنَ لسُليمانَ وَسَخِرِ لِي كُل بَحرٍ هُوَ لكَ وَسَخِر لِي كُلَ جَبلٍ وَسَخِر لِي كُلَ حَديدٍ وَسَخِر لِي كُلَ ريحٍ وَسَخِر لِي كُلَ شَّيْطَانٍ مِن الجِنِ وِالإنْسِ وَسَخِر لِي نَفْسِى وَسَخِر لِي كُلَ شَيء

What are the Four Gems of Shadhiliyyah - Hizbul Bahr, Hikam, Burdah and Dala'il al Khayrat

What are the Four Gems of Shadhiliyyah

Maqam of Imam Shadhili qaddas Allahu sirru
 

Hizbul Bahr of Imam Shadhili qaddas Allahu sirru

Hikam of Imam Ibn ata'illah qaddas Allahu sirru

Qasida Burdah of Imam Busiri qaddas Allahu sirru

Dala'il al Khayrat Imam Jazuli qaddas Allahu sirru

 

Basically imam Shadhili said (my Fuqara are my books) Thus no other Tariqah has produced so many useful guides or aids as books towards understanding Allah in written form many Shadhili Masters were prolific writes meaning they wrote alot.

Sidi Ahmad Zarruq qaddas Allahu sirru the student of Imam Jazuli qaddas Allahu sirru is an example so is Sidi Ahmed Ibn Ajiba. They wrote many many books so did many others and the 3 other Gems and many Commentaries that followed are more examples.

Hikam of Imam ibn ata'illah qaddas Allahu sirru

The Hikam is a book of wise words which is understood opens the secrets to Sainthood. It's a road map or signs to the soul.

The Hikam considered a classical masterpiece in spiritual / sufi literature - written and compiled by sufi master of 13th/14th century Ibn Ata Illah qaddas Allahu sirru. The Hikam is essentially a book of Sufi aphorisms (an aphorism is a brief wise saying of truth or simply wise sayings) containing timeless and pure spiritual wisdom for the seekers of illumination.

The Hikam-Wisdoms or book of wisdoms are a collection of concise, comprehensive and sublime sayings in the field of self purification (nafs); they are guidelines which help strengthen the relationship between humans and their Lord. The Hikam is a classical manual of spiritual development to up lifting the heart from the narrowness of the self to the limitlessness of the knowledge and love of the Divine.

The Hikam or wisdom sayings, have been extracted from the Quran and the Hadith, are so rich in meaning, that the people of knowledge throughout the years have studied them in depth and have greatly benefitted from them. 

It has even been said that “if it were permissible to pray with anything other than the Quran, then it would have been the aphorisms of Ibn Ata'illah qaddas Allahu sirru” Although this may be an exaggeration, yet it signifies the value of these sayings and their benefit.

The hikam is divided into three parts:

The First part is about the topic of Tawheed and its intricate details;

 The second part revolves around conduct and self purification;

 The Third part delves into the manner of people with their Lord.

 There are about in total 260 wise saying in the hikam.

Which Commentaries to study of the Hikam

Because the Hikam is rich deep in meaning one needs commentary to understand each wisdom, there are books of commentary on top of commentary about the Hikam each at different levels. To make it easier which books should one start with, Sidi Ibn Abbad ar-Rundi commentary of the Hikam  would be the first,  then al-Qutb Sidi Ahmed Ibn ‘Ajiba’s ‘Iqadh al-himam fi sharh al-Hikam’ and then Sidi Ahmed Zarruq’s commentaries and there about 20 or so just by Sidi Ahmed Zarruq. 

The Fath-'Spiritual Opening' of  Sidi  Ahmed Ibn 'Ajiba qaddas Allahu sirru from the Hikam.

An interesting point is that al-Qutb Sidi Ahmed Ibn 'Ajiba qaddas Allahu sirru  writes in his 'autobiography-Farasah'-(there is a English translation of the Farasah of al-Qutb Sidi Ahmed Ibn 'Ajiba qaddas Allahu sirru) that the opening he experienced at the beginning of his life as a mystic came from studying the Hikam along with Ibn 'Abbād’s by then venerable commentary. 

1st Read  Sidi Ibn Abbad ar-Rundi qaddas Allahu sirru commentary of the Hikam as a intro.

2nd  Then Sidi Ibn ‘Ajiba’s qaddas Allahu sirru (the Darqawi Qutb) commentary of the Hikam called ‘Iqadh  al-himam fi sharh al-Hikam’ (The awakening of spiritual ambitions: a commentary on the Wisdoms).

An example from  Sidi Ibn Ata’illah’s qaddas Allahu sirru Hikam:

 “Beneficial knowledge is that which expands the breast with its rays, and by it the veils of the heart are lifted.”

Shaykh Ibn `Abbad qaddas Allahu sirru says in his commentary on the Hikam; “Beneficial knowledge is the knowledge of Allah, His attributes, His names, and the knowledge by which one knows how to submit to Him and act properly in regards to His favours. This is the knowledge whose rays pervade the breast… lifting from the heart its veils and dispelling all doubts and misgivings.

Imam Busiri qaddas Allahu sirru Shadilli - Qasida Burdah

Yes Imam Busiri’s Qasida is a Shadhili secret and he his Shaykh was Shaykh Ibn ata'illah who was the 2nd Shaykh down in silsilah from Imam Shadhili qaddas Allahu sirru

Sidi Ibn Battuta and Hizb Bahr

The Greatest Traveler of all time Ibn battuta read Hizb Bahr alot and visits maqam of the Sufis.

The Greatest Traveler of all time, Sidi Ibn Battuta was given the Hizbul Bahr in his travels he visited the Fuqara of Sidi Imam Shadhili qaddas Allahu sirru and visited Sidi Yaqut al-`Arshi al-Shadhili qaddas Allahu sirru who was a student of Shaykh Abul Abbas Al Mursi. 

(To my understanding he was given the ijaza of the Hizb Bahr from Shaykh Abul Abbas Al Mursi qaddas Allahu sirru while on a boat or he took it from Sidi Yaqut al-`Arshi...) What is known is that Sidi Ibn Battuta would also visit the Tomb of Imam Shadhili qaddas Alahu sirru too, many times and used the Hizbul Bahr on his journeys for protection in one of my previous posts.

Later that night my thoughts took me on a journey, they took me into the meanings of the Hizbul Bahr (as ive written a commentary already).

My thoughts impressed on Surah Mariyam that starts with 5 Spiritual letters of (Kaf, Ha, Ya, 'Ayn, Sad) and that Surah Mariyam is read by pregnant women to help them on an easier and safer journey of child birth.

For a baby is in the (Sea) of her mothers Womb! That is a baby is travelling in Sea of the Tomb and into the Sea of world.  The womb is a vessel, and Surah Mariyam's Holy letters are used as a Protection for the journey for the child, the same Opening letters are used in Hizbul Bahr, to travel through Dunya.

Then later I picked by one of my Sufi books by Shaykh Muzzafar Ozak that also mentions the spiritual meanings of each Surah of the Qur'an, and it says about Surah Mariyam that it is read for Rizq and Protection thus another spiritual dimension of Surah Mariyam being learnt and the beginning letters the 5 Spiritual letters of Surah Mariyam are used in Hizbul Bahr for Protection too.

Opening even more to me a labyrinth of thoughts each creating a myriad of meanings each having its journey within my breast-(Sadr heart).

Sidi Ibn Battuta thought it was that important enough to include the prayer - Hizbul Bahr in his Travel, he notes this in his book!

Its also worth mentioning the great Sidi Ibn Abbad Rundi al-Shadhili qaddas Allahu sirru (1333–1390) lived at the same time as Ibn Battuta (1307-1377) and writes in his Letters to the Fuqara about using Hizbul Bahr of Imam Shadhili qaddas Allahu sirru and praises the Hizbul Bahr's benefits lavishly. 

Sidi Ibn Abbad's letters are the 1st book you need to read to understand the Hikam of Sidi Ibn ibn 'Ata allah qaddas Allahu sirru as his letters are a commentary of the Hikam of Sidi ibn 'Ata allah qaddas Allahu sirru.

Dala'il Khayrat of Imam Jazuli qaddas Allahu sirru.

Daily Dala'il Khayrat khatm is enough in place of a Shaykh when there is no Shaykh and when facing problems. Thus increase ones tawwajju towards salawat and drink from its heavenly Haudh al-Kawthar. Salawat is like drinking from the Haudh-Cistern of Sayyiduna Rasulilah peace be upon him) on earth. (The water of this Haudh-Cistern will come from the river of al-Kawthar which is in Paradise, hence it is called the Cistern of al-Kawthar)

 

The whole Dala'il Khayrat is full of Gems, Pearls, Rubies, Diamonds and more, some just dazzle more but they are all every expensive in the Eyes of Allah. When you read Dala'il al-Khayrat treat every salawat with that honour and respect you give expensive stones for then your heart will feel its wealth and soon it will be dazzling in Allah's Eyes. 

The Dala'il al Khayrat is (one of the four Gems of the Shadhili Gems) that dazzle the soul with (Anwar-spiritual illumination) and gives quick access to (Fath-Spiritual Openings) and furnishes the soul for Jannah. A more detail article has been written about both Hizbul Bahr and Dalail Khayat by me.

Hizbul Bahr of Imam Shadhili qaddas-allahu sirrahu

Imam Shadhili said; Teach Hizbul Bahr to your Children for it contains Allah's Greatest Name,so is the General ijaza to read it too.

Hizbul Bahr has many Jalali-(Majestic) verses of Surah Ya-sin, Ya-sin isn't just the Heart of the Quran it's the Sword of Duas.

Hizbul Bahr is effective based on timings more example at; Fajr For Dunya Rizq and  Asr for Ruhani Rizq evening for extra Protection

Hizbul Bahr is Defence-(action of defending or protection) while is Hizbul Nasr Offence-(action of attacking) big difference!

The Hizbul Bahr is both a Hirz-(Protection) and can be used as Hisaar-(Fortress) for safety, If blowing and hand movements are used. 

The Difference with a (Hirz-Protection) and a (Hisaar-Fortress) is using Hand Movements and (Nafth-Blowing) which then creates a Spiritual Barrier or (Protection Circle-Dairaa). Also see Shadhili’s Hizbul-Fath.

Hizbul Bahr is used for Protection against any harm, Jinn, Magic, Enemies, Evil eye, and for the fulfilment of every Lawful Need, Aim and Ambition.

Imam Shadhili said about the Hizb ul Bahr: 

"Litany of the Sea By Allah, I did not utter it [the Litany of the Sea] except as it came from the Prophet of Allah Swallallahu Alayhi Wasallam, from whose instruction I learned it. "Guard it;' 

He said to me, "for it contains the Ism al-'A'dham - Greatest name of Allah:"- 

It is not recited in any place without security reigning there. If it had been with the inhabitants of Baghdad, the Tatars would not have taken the city. On his death bed Imam Shadhili gave Naseeha-counsel to recite his Litany of the Sea (Hizb ul Bahr) often, and he said, “Teach it to your children for the Ism al-'Adhim - The Greatest name of Allah is in it.”

Imam Abul-Hasan Shadhili qaddas-allahu sirrahu, saying about Hizbul-Bahr and benefits:

1. A place where my Hizb (i.e. Hizbul-Bahr) is recited will be protected from mischiefs and evils. 

2. One, who recites it to protect himself from the cruelty of an oppressor, will be protected. 

3. One who recites it after every five times prayers, will be guarded from the accidents of the time, he will be rich and he will attain good fortune in his movements. 

4. One who recites it in the first moment of Friday (i.e. sun rising) will be bestowed peace. 

5. A house where this litany is recited will be protected from fire. 

6.I f this written litany is hung on a dead body, it will be protected from fierce animals and birds. 

The House of Protection Frame using aspects of Hizbul Bahr

The Above is can used used as a House of Protection Frame. Its hung up. Specific verses from Imam Shadhili's qaddas Allahu sirru Hizbul Bahr (Litany of the sea). its meaning is below;

Meaning: 'In the Name of Allah is our door, by His blessings is our walls, Ya-Sin is our roof, Kaf-Ha-Ya-‘Ayn-Sad is our sufficiency, Ha-Mim ‘Ayn-Sin-Qaf is our protection'.

The arabic is:

Bismillahi, babuna Tabaraka, hitanuna Ya seen, saqfuna Kaaf Haa Ya 'Ain Sad, kifayatuna Haa Meem 'Ain Seen Qaaf himayatuna.

Another example of Hizbul Bahr is using it for a both Hirz-(Protection) and can be used as Hisaar-(Fortress) for Safety If Blowing on hands and using movements are used.

An example is using;  Kaaf Haa Ya 'Ain Sad, kifayatuna Haa Meem 'Ain Seen Qaaf himayatuna. In Dua with Hand Movements and blowing towards an unpleasant Officer or Boss or nasty person, to leave to. I have many very detailed articles about Hizbul bahr talking about various aspects of the Hizbul Bahr that require articles in their own right to be published. And inshallah the updated collated version will be updated later. inshallah.

Today a Haqqani (with my help and guidance) in (Muraqaba Visualisation) saw Shaykh Abdul Kerim Effendi picture inserted, who passed away June 2012. He was known as Sahibul Saif Shaykh Abdul Kerim al-Qubrusi) and she was told by Shaykh Abdul Kerim Effendi to read the 4 line Khidri Salawat taught to Imam Abul Abbas al-Mursi Shadhili qaddas Allahu sirru.

Sister told in Muraqabah to read Khidri Salawat taught to Imam Abul Abbas al-Mursi Shadhili qaddas Allahu sirru.

(Of Course there are Rules to Muraqaba, that one needs to know, if your shown or taught Salawat or Islamic Duas its Haqq usually, if its worldly then measure it against the Shariah and Sunnah and seek Naseeah too)

The Secret of this Salawat is if one reads it, they are risen to the Maqam to Abdaal-(1 of 40 High Ranking Saints)

In her Muraqaba the Haqqani sister was shown a book with Salawat written in Arabic. She was thinking where do I find this salawat from?

What she saw, was the one taught to Imam Abul Abbas al-Mursi Shadhili qaddas Allahu sirru from Al-Khidr alayhis-salaam.

Then later while going through my posts the same Salawat appeared from in the news feeds.

This Salawat (see below) is enough that it opens the Doors to Sainthood if you keep reading it each day or maybe only for a moment in ones life or longer.

Shadhili Salawat Seeking Forgiveness for Ummah from taught by Sayyiduna Khidr alayhis-salaam. Whoever reads it every morning with become one of the (Abdaal - Hidden secret 40 saints) Inshallah. And Allah and his Saints know best!

(Muraqabah Visualisation) means it was a wakeful state not a dream, some can connect or see with eyes open others while doing Dhikr or focusing, others can see with their eyes closed, others may see (Saints) or something jump or enter their minds suddenly like a message.

Reference of Salawat taken from Book: Orison of The School of the Shadhdhuliyyah, volume one by Shaykh Abdullah Nooruddeen Durkee al-Shadhuli. Extra notes: I found other variants such as the 3 line version given from Early Great Sufi Master Shaykh Ma`ruf al-Karkhi qaddas Allahu sirru

Allahumma Farrij’an Ummati Muhammadin

Remembering the Muslim Ummah in One’s Prayers-Dua by Shaykh Ma`ruf al-Karkhi qaddas Allahu sirru; “Whoever says,

Allahumma Aslih Ummata Muhammadin

Saallallahu alayhi wa sallam

Allahumma Arham Ummata Muhammadin

O Allah, improve the state of the Umma of Muhammad

O Allah, grant ease to the Umma of Muhammad

O Allah, have mercy on the Umma of Muhammad)

(Ten times) every day will be written down as one of the highest of elect believers (abdaal).” [Abu Nu`aym, Hilyat al-Awliya , 8.366]

Note: There is other longer 10 line Salawats version composed by the Great Alim and Ashiq Imam Yusuf Nabhani qaddas Allahu sirru.

What is the benefits of Dalail al-khayrat

Question Sajad; What is the benefits of Dalail al-khayrat?

So many people keep asking me this question about it. (This is a must read and share, when you finishing reading you will see why, I will let the Sufi Masters answer it's benefits).

My simple reply is seriously take Dalail al-khayrat is a (Sufi Master) hold it tight more then anything else and never let go and read abundantly and more;

Shaykh Hasan al-’Adawi in his commentary on the Dala’il al Khayrat recorded that Shaykh al-Mursi said: “Whoever recites this salawat 500 times every day and night – and is constant in that – then he will not die until he meets with the Prophet ﷺ in a state of wakefulness (yaqadha). That salawat is: “Allahumma Salli ala Sayyidina Muhammadin ‘Abdika wa Nabiyyika wa Rasulika an-Nabiyy al-Ummiyy wa ‘ala aalihi wa sahbihi wa Sallim”.

Shadhili masters have said if you don't have a Sufi Shaykh, then take Dalail Khaytat as your (Sufi Shaykh and Guide) (Dalail al khayrat is a Sufi Shadhili masterpiece of Salawat upon the Prophet ﷺ written by Imam Jazuli qadddas Allahu Sirru).

Imam al-Jazuli (qadddas Allahu Sirru) - for 14 years he read the Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim 114,000 times everyday, in that room right there (pointing to the room), fourteen years. He read his prayer on the Prophet ﷺ (Dalail al Khayrat) three times, he did Khatm (complete recitation) of the Quran every single day for fourteen years. They said when he came out people made tawbah just by seeing him. (Al Fatiha)

- Shaykh Hamza Yusuf "How beautiful is this Dala’il al-Khayrat! the one who enjoys the taste of it, sees it in a much different way!" ~Shaykh Nazim Haqqani (qadddas Allahu Sirru) Sayyidina Rasulallah ﷺ Will Hold Your Hand - Shaykh Nazim (qadddas Allahu Sirru)

While speaking with beloved Habib Kadhim and his noble father, Mawlana Shaykh Nazim said when a person is consistent in reading Dala'il al-Khayrat, the Yad al-Abyad (white hand) of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ extends from the Throne and holds the reciter's hand! May Allah raise His Awliya ever higher in His Nearness and keep us with them here and Hereafter. Ameen. ~Shaykh Nazim Haqqani (qadddas Allahu Sirru)

"This book (i.e. Dalail al-Khayrat) is a sign from the signs of Allah regarding the sending of blessings and peace"

’When you are consistent with reading Dala'il al-Khayrat, The white hand of Rasul Allah ﷺ will extend from the throne to reach the one who is reciting it; his hand will be in the Prophet's hand’’ ~ Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani (qadddas Allahu Sirru) "If a person reads Dalail no trouble comes on him, who knows how to recite it should read and who doesn't know should listen in the gathering" ~ Shaykh Nazim Adil Al-Haqqani (qadddas Allahu Sirru) Shaykh Muhammad al Ninowi about the blessing of Dalail ul Khayrat. This is a book which will safely take you to shores of Love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. I encourage you and my sinning self to recite it weekly if not daily. - Shaykh Yusuf al-Nabhani (qadddas Allahu Sirru)

On every shelf in every home there was a great book which we sometimes forget which is the Dalail al Khayrat, it is a great work on prayers upon the Prophet ﷺ.

“If a person wishes to attain divine blessings for a particular need by means of it (i.e. Dalail al-Khayrat), then it should be with the condition that his self - in general - has one resolve. When this opening occurs, this person persists in this meaning linked to this action; and makes it a means of attaining his needs." - Shaykh Shah Waliullah al-Dihlawi "Millions of Muslims from East to West tried it and found its good (i.e. Dalail al-Khayrat), its blessing, and its benefit for centuries (and over generations). Many have witnessed its unbelievable spiritual blessings and light. Muslims avidly recited it; alone, in groups, in homes, and mosques - utterly spending themselves in the blessings on the most beloved ?, and praising him ?." - Shaykh ‘Abdullah al-Talidi. - Shaykh Muhammad Al Yaqoubi

''First thing you bring into your new house, Qur'an, Ash-Shifa of Qadi Iyad, Dala'il khayrat of al-Jazuli"

“If We Asked What Is The Most Circulating Book Any Human Being Ever Wrote On The Face Of The Earth, What Is The Bestseller In The Islamic World, A Hundred Years Ago The Answer Wouldn’t Be Sahih Bukhari Because Sahih Bukhari Is For The Ulema. The Answer Would Be "Dalail al Khayrat.”

- Shaykh Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi "There would be no depression if people recited dala'il al khayrat" - Shaykh Muhammad al Yaqoubi "If you recite the Dalail al Khayrat once everyday for half an hour, you will begin to take on His ? qualities."

- Shaykh Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi "If people knew the benefits and baraka of Dalail al-Khayrat gatherings, they would crawl to attend them." - Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi "You say the name Muhammad ﷺ? you are going to feel tranquility! This is the effects of the praise of on the Prophet ﷺ? Dalail Al-Khayrat the most celebrated book in the past, we need to bring it back in the home, in sha Allah. - Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi
