ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
All Praise and Thanks belong to Allah the One without
Whose Guidance this translation and transliteration of the
Khula$ah - The Cream of Remembrance - would not have
been possible; and to our beloved Prophet
Mul}.ammad who was imbued with excellence, grace and
elegance; and to his family and virtuous Companions.
This translation and transliteration owe so much, to so many
minds, intellectuals, scholars, friends and family. A group of
people with whom it has been a priceless collaboration and
inspirational journey. I would however, like to acknowledge
my special gratitude to the following persons who so
generously gave of their time, who so eagerly shared their
insights, and who I, unreservedly, put before me:
Shaykh Ziyaad Salie of the Strand, Western Cape, South
Africa, for typesetting this compilation, for his transcription
of the Arabic, and for his transliteration of the entire text of
the Khula$ah.
Professor Y asien Mohamed: Professor of Arabic Studies
'
Department of Foreign Languages, University of the
Western Cape, Cape Town, South Africa, for translating
almost all of the Khula$ah.

Religion Studies, University of Johannesburg, South Africa,

it is a specially selected compendium of supplications 11 1d
invocations handed down to us from our righteous spi11t11 11
masters.
In order to comform to the original text of the w
have opted for the Script instead of the ludo
Pakistani format, in the transcription of the Qur'anic Siirah uul
Verses.
For the Qur'anic translations we opted for "The llol
Qur'an" by Yusuf Ali, "The Noble Qur'an" by Drs Mul)at111111111
Al-Hilali and Mu}J.sin Khan and "The Qur'an" by Maul.111 1
W a}J.iduddin Khan. We eliminated, as far as possibl t lu
supplications "Thee", "Thou", "Knowest" and ''Thinkest' t I
in order to maintain grammatical consistency and desist 11 11111
alienating the modem reader. We tried our best to ensut tlu
combination of an accurate translation and an ele ' 111 t I
readable rendering of the Khulii$ah.
This translation has valuable endnotes and a glossau
explain the meanings of untranslatable Arabic words,
concepts and English terminology. In addition, it provuh
brief biography of scholars cited, and the sources of 111 1
quotations. Where applicable., the Shamsiyyah format ol t h
transliteration has been used. It is our opinion, that tht 11 I
this format, will benefit the person who cannot read At 1hu ''
order to make it easy for readers from any part of the w tll
read the transliteration of the Arabic, we have uscd 111 1 I
main, the Encyclopedia of Islam (New Edition), With 11111
adjustments. As a matter of completion, we have .uhh d '"
sanad of I:Iabib bin Mu}J.ammad bin Salim bin II Ill l
appendix 1).

INTRODUCTION
The Khulii$ah compiled by ljabib bin Mul).armnad
bin Salim bin i:Iafi? is a distinctive collation of Remembrances
- Qur'anic Slirahs, litanies (adhkiir), supplications (ad'iya) and
selected poems. These forms of devotional articulations are
intended to bring us nearer to the ONE REALITY, ALLAH 3.,
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 Qur' an refers to this remembrance in the following verse:
"Remember the Name of your Lord, and devote yourself to
Him wholeheartedly." [Siirah Muzzammil (73), Verse 8]. The
merits and profundity of remembrance, is also encapsulated in
the following /fadfth:
"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, 0 Messenger of Allah."
He said: "The remembrance of Allah." [At-Tinnidhi and Ibn
Maja]
The raison d' etre 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
that function within a multiple interactive and open syst 111
Being an open system, we are eternally connected and 111
dynamic equilibrium, with the universe of energy and light 1 d
many frequencies. Just as there is a demonstrative relationNhll
between matter and energy, so too is there. an d
relationship between our higher spirit and our physical body
The multiplicity of sounds (sonic energy of dif ku 111
frequencies) with their intonations during dhikrulliih
understood to blight the trapped negative energies (from ' II
phones, microwave ovens, food, Jinn etc.) in our bodie uul
replace them with pure positive vibrations, nurturing 11111
bodies back into a state of balance. The sonic energy en li t I
during the recital of these litanies, is believed to delivrt I h 1
needed quantum dose of magneto-electric energy to the h11 111 111
system, through the scientific process of resonance inducti on
It is our hope and prayer that this translated 11 I
transliterated version of the Khul0.$ah - the Crewt1
Remembrance - will be spiritually gratifying and enrich111 ' I
the devotees and wayfarers, on their journeys to Allah

The English meanings are not intended to supplant the
Arabic, as most of the essential devotions, such as $alah, are in
Arabic, and a Muslim is required, according to the Sacred Law,
to recite his/her $alah 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
I:IabTh (Umar bin Mul;tammad bin Salim bin l:Iafi?, is the
manner in which insightful and percepti:vely chosen Qur' anic
verses, are holistically weaved into the supplications (ad 'iya) ,
remembrances (adhkar) and litanies (awrad).
Like the declaration of Unity, $aliih, zakiih, fasting and
good deeds, the litanies and are an integral part of
'Ibiidah and a recognition of our unitive state. They are the
fuel in our wayfaring to Allah the Exalted, and sustenance for
the soul on its journey to self-knowledge and self-awareness.
They connect us with our original self (fitrah) and our human
consciousness. They also narrow the gap between us and the
Divine and enable our inner cosmos to experience the now -
that moment where duality is nullified and a state of pure
ecstacy and bliss is experienced. Remembrance of Allah the
All-Mighty, is an acknowledgement of His Existence, which is
founded on pure and absolute love (ma/:Labbah). Allah .. said
in a lfadfth Qudsf:
"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!
We as human beings are not merely flesh, bones cells,
proteins, fats and molecules, but are multi-dimensional beings

2. SCHOLASTIC AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMEN' .
I:Jabib rumar is one of the world's foremost scholat ' ul
Islamic Religious Sciences. This gift from the All-Mighty II 1

knowledge which he passionately uses to spread the messut

erudity, their teachings of the Sacred Law, their principll 1111 1
ethics, and their da(wah. Besides memorising the Qur'an .11 11

A BIOGRAPHY OF I}ABIB BIN
MlJI.IAMMAD BIN SALIM BIN (BORN 1964)
1. INTRODUCTION
In the N arne of AlHih, the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.
Blessings and Peace upon the Prophet Mul).ammad, his family
and his Companions.
ijabib (Umar who currently resides in the spiritual and
revered city of Tarim, ija<;lramaut, Republic of Yemen, is a
thirty..:ninth (39th) generation descendent of the Prophet
Mul).ammad through I:Iusayn the grandson of the Prophet
;i. True to the Prophetic teachings, the ijabib advocates a pure
and universal Islam - i.e. a non-sectarian, non-racial, non-
doctrinal Islam.
The Prophet ;i said: "The people of Yemen have come to
you. They are the softest of hearts and the most tender of souls.
Iman is that of the Yemenis, and wisdom is Yemenite yonder".
(Narrated by Abii Hurayrah in SalJ.Il) Al-Bukhan)
With their utmost concern for the poor, orphans and down-
trodden, and living a life in total and dynamic submission to
the Creator, the ijabib and his righteous Yemeni forefathers are
a true embodiment of this narration.
14
determination, humility, hope and an unflinching faith in tlu
All-Mighty.
3. HABIB FATHER: MUHA:MMAD BIN
. .
SALIM BIN - ROLE MODEL AND
OF STRENGTH
I:Iabib cumar' s father -was greatly instrumental in layut
down the foundations of Islamic scholarship in the youu
I:IabTh, by exposing him to knowledge of the Qur'an uul
Sunnah, and inculcating in him, the profundity and importaiH
of the supplications and invocations.
Sadly, his father was abducted by the Communists, uul
martyred; his body never to be found. It is said tlwt
"Martyrdom in itself is an honour and a privilege: llo\\
glorious is the fame of I:Iamza- The Martyr and later that,,,
I:Iassan and I:Iusayn With our myopic view of life, wt tJ,,
not always see the whole of Allah's plan. The keys of lift .uul
death are in the Hands of Allah." The I:IabTh who accompUIII I
his father on that fateful day (of Jumucah) was only left Wt llt
his father's shawl in his hands; this very shawl, which to 111111
was to become "the shawl of light". Undeterred by 1111
gruesome attempt to suppress and stifle the "Call to Islam ' t I 11
I:Iabib resolutely set about unweaving that tapestry of light (til
shawl) thread by thread, and transporting these threads ot II 111
to different parts of the world. Guided by Divine Ins pi ut 11111
the I:IabTh implanted these luminous threads into the he.u t I
every person that he came into contact with.
"Men's true mettle is known in adversity as gold is assuyc d 111
fire." With superb resilience, the I:IabTh confronted advc 1 11
17
Noticing his passion for dacwah 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 I:IabTh
temporarily settled in the city of Ta cizz, where he studied under
the Mufti of Tacizz, the esteemed I:IabTh Ebrahim bin cAqll bin
Yal).ya. It was not long after his visit to Tacizz, that I:IabTh
(Umar set out for Mecca and Medina, to perform the l:Iajj and
visit the grave of our I:Iabib Mul).ammad
During his sojourn in the l:Iijaz, he was blessed to have as a
teacher, the renowned scholar, I:IabTh (Abdul Qadir bin Al)mad
Al Saqqaf .$ and, as if by Providence, he was also fortunate to
receive knowledge from two of the illustrious giants of Islam,
I:Iabib Al).mad Masl).iir Al-I:Iaddad and I:IabTh Al-c Attas Al-
I:Iabashl. I:IabTh cumar also visited Oman which is situated on
the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula. Here he propounded
the objectives and goals of the Shari( ah (maqiisid) and "turned
many a heart".
Guided by the All-Mighty, as he always was, it was now
time for the I:Iabib to return to the land of his birth. The city of
Al-Shil).r, situated on the south-eastern part of Yemen, would
be the route that would take the I:Iabib back to Tarim in
I:IaQ.ramaut. The return of the I:IabTh to Tarim, would culminate
in the establishment of the flagship, Dar Ever so
conscious of his mission, I:IabTh cumar would call the people to
Islam and would humbly and systematically sow the seeds of
piety and erudition in their hearts. For I:Iabib cumar, the
ultimate goal of this circuitous journey, was the journey itself;
ndertaken with love, tenderness, self-awareness,
16
message of all those learned and righteous scholars that ca11 u
after him.
5. I.IABIB THE PHILANTHROPIST
Being a strong believer that gratitude to Allah should IH)t
be measured only in words but in action and conduct of 111
the I:Iabib founded the Al-Rafah Charitable Society (Tnast)
This Yemen-based non-governmental organization (NGO) 1
synergistically partnered with Muslim Aid Australia. Tlu
principle focus of this organization is the managemenl ol
poverty and the provision of health-care to the poor and undt 1
privileged in Yemen. Despite operating in a very challen
environment, the Al-Rafah Charitable Society (Trust) hu
consistently, over the years, delivered much-needed aid t< tlu
less-fortunate in Yemen. Its resolve is on-going.
6. ij:ABIB THE TRAVELLER AND CALIJE
TO ISLAM
True to his mission and vision, I:Iabib spends a ''' 11
deal of the year travelling - Providentially moved 1111 1
transported to where the winds of his destiny takes him It
countries in Europe, Asia, Mrica and The Americas, spre.ulln
the message of authentic Islam. These extensive travels '"'
witnessed the Uabib- addressing thousands of people 111
countries like Indonesia and Malaysia.
When the }Jabib is not travelling, he would nevertlu h
stay in contact with his global audiences, using dnll
technology and the world-wide-web. During this pe11od I
would also focus his energies in co-ordinating the AI I II '"
19
head-on, and patiently persevered in his efforts, to impart his
knowledge, and to spread the message of Islam.
4. THE DOYEN OF DAR
Coupled with the many years that I:Iabib 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 Qur' an and Sunnah
- would ultimately crystallize in the establishment of Dar Al-
where the tenets of authentic (pure) Islam would be
taught.
This educational establishment was founded in 1414 A.H.
(1993 C.E) and officially opened in the month of Dhul I:Iijjah
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 Imam Al-Ghaza.II & and
Imam bin Al-I;Iaddad emphasised in
their teachings, the essence of righteousness, justice, self-
examination, reflection and adab
(propriety). Students from all over the world - Malaysia,
fudonesia, 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 e.g. fudonesia. At Dar students
/

Charitable Society (Trust) and developing and implementing
scholastic methodologies at Dar
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 I:Iabib has emphatically advocated
to his world-wide audiences, the importance of the Qur' an and
Sunnah as the only true guidance to salvation, and the often-
neglected understanding, that we are an "ummatan was a tan" (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 I:Iabib
would balance the substance of his lectures, with the intention
of reaching every individual, and with the knowledge that the
that he is expounding, is through the Grace of Allah,
and that all and everything will ultimately return to Allah.
In his own country of Yemen, the I:IabTh has been
instrumental in transforming the wayward beliefs of people,
and developing their higher especially that of the
errant youth - by guiding them on the path of rectitude, and
infusing into their hearts, a deeper love qf Islam and that of the
Prophet ;i.
7. IJABlB THE ADVISOR
Not a day would pass by, but the I:Iabib would humbly
share some pearls of wisdom with his audiences; pearls of
wisdom that would flow from a serene and tranquil self. I:Iahib
humbly advises the following ten spiritual and ethical
principles:

The teachings of the I:Iabib, like that of _our rightl'oll

9. CONCLUSION:
When you meet the I:IabTh 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 Qur'an and the Sunnah. The
ijabTh's life was markedly influenced and fashioned by the
22
of Islamic devotional practices. There can be little douhl llltt
the most central ontological condition of any revealed u lt 1!1 ' '"
is spirituality. In Islam, this does not imply dismissi n I 11 1
numerous articulations of our material existence - the v.a
1
11
of the here-and-now. On the contrary, we recogru 11
importance of this earthly (dunyawi) condition throu

us from the punishment of Perdition). [Sfuah Al-Baqu.ah 1
Verse 201]
There can be little doubt that the "best of thi s w' rl I
embraces all that which has the potential of drawing m. l11
to Allah t$. These may find their expression in u 1
kindness to others, pursuing justice in all spheres of ou1 lr
caring for our families and fellow humans, and advant 111 tit
purposes of human decency, respect for others, and upholcltu
the Allah-given and inalienable rights of human di ,

general. From the Islamic perspective, it would do us \\ II 1
remember that human dignity is irrevocably Iinked to llu 1 I
of Divinity. Human suffering is nothing to take lightl y hul 1

than to the object of that scorn. This is emphatically XIH'
by the Prophetic saying that "Malicious envy (l;zasad) d' 111

[Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah]. Herein lays the wisdom ol 11

PREFACE
"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". [Sfuah AI-Baqarah
(2) Verse 186]
"My bondsman remembers me not in solitude except that J
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-Tabarani]
Islam, which in its doctrine of tawbfd 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,
brace, understand and finally internalise the higher purposes

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 Adhkiir (invocations) and that of Du 'ii'
(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, intemalise, reflect -on and practice the
values contained within these adhkar and ad 'iya. In the world
of the spiritual, quality takes precedence over quantity. The
major difference between dhikr and du 'ii' lies in its
formulation and expression. Adhkar 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
adhkiir may be performed silently (preferred by many
Naqshbandi Orders) or they may be vocalised. Du 'ii', 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 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 Rit;lwiin (Good Pleasure). The Prophet said: "Addu 'ii'
mukh-khul 'ibiidah" (Prayers form the essence of worship) [At-
Tinnidhi]. It is towards a realisation of this "essence" that the
seeker aspires. The "essence" of dhikr and du 'a' is one.
26
again, is not tantamount to disrespect for one's parents. In fact,
such disrespect may act as an even greater veil. The simple
truth is that socially conditioned attitudes, whether they stem
from one's parents, family, friends or otherwise, may seriously
impede both one's connection and one's 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, one's quest for such
knowledge. Knowledge, according to hnam al-Ghaza.II, is
derived from two preceding items of related knowledge.
Combining the two in a congruent way, yields a third item of
know ledge that may be beneficial. An example furnished by
hnam al-Ghazali to demonstrate a potentially flawed approach
is, once again, that of the mirror. One who desires to see thf."
nape of his neck and holds up only one to his face will fai I
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, 2007:41
50; Vol. 4, 922-4].
The above-mentioned, according to al-Ghazali, are sonH
of the impediments and veils that stand between the seeker and
the spiritual nature of the heart. One of the primary methods h,
overcome these circumstances, is to engage a systemat H
regime of adhkiir and ad'iya with one's heart and mind
exclusively focused on the Divine Presence.
29

The first is the imperfectly fonned nature of the adolescent
or person. This youthful condition does not allow for th
penetration of spiritual intelligibles. e
The barrier is that of the commission of sinful acts
and acts of disobedience to Allah Th
th d . . ese acts become the Iust
at the spiritual sensitivities and proclivities f th
heart. It IS that condition referred to in the foil . Q o'- . e
verse R- l OWing ur arne
h art . . a a . quliibihim ma kiinu yaksibiin. (Upon their
s IS e strun of the mischief that they do) [Siirah
utaffum (83) Verse 14]. The ran is the rust.
The third impediment is that the heart may not be d
on the direction of the Reality sought The "nurr " f
or o ealtty
were, is misplaced and hence reflective of contingen;
re only. In this case his/her attention may la se into
exclusive consideration of bodily s b . . p an
di tr . u mtsston, and the common
s actions of livelihood. Acts of worshi beco .
and automata P me mere habtt

(dun yawl) responsibilities, collectively lead to an inab 'lit e s
contemplate and meditate upon the "Lo dl Pr , I y to
hidden n . . r Y esence and the
IVIne realities.
The fourth is the veil of blind belief rooted in an uncritical
acceptance of particular theological positions and even th
madhahib (Legal s h

triumph of harmony and love so desperately needed in Muslim
society today. May he also be rewarded for his intentions and

This quintessential compilation by al-I:Iabib bin
Mul;lammad bin bin I:Iati?: (may Allah protect him) is one
of the most accessible and pointed selections of adhkar and
ad 'iya. It has the potential, to take the seeker a very long way
along the path. This, for two reasons: 1) The fact that it is
I:Iabib (Umar bin I:Iafi?: 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 fayr;ian al-barakah
(overflowing grace) flows through the spiritual streams of these
realised shuyukh with their unbroken chains of grace, reaching
to the Prophet tj} 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 (2) 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
disruptive wastage of internecine organizational and
institutional politics, he has quietly and productively spent his
energies in the spiritual re-edification of countless

have no benefit except
with continuity, and no effect,
except with the consciousness
(of Allah's Presence). Excessive
awrad done with haste,
inattention, and lack of
consciousness of Allah, the Most
High, have only minimal
benefits.
Through His Mighty Grace, and
the Blessings of His Noble
Messenger (the most excellent
Blessings and Peace upon him
and his family), excessive awrad
will not be entirely without
benefit and protection, if Allah
so Wills.
The wird that a person should
keep on doing is: La ilaha

of worship, but Allah); followed
by seeking forgiveness and
sending blessings upon the
Prophet, may the Blessings and
Peace of Allah be upon him, and
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the

These are some of the awriid that
the seeker (of the spiritual path)

attain nearness to Allah, should
read whatever is possible for him.
These are only some of many

: The Poem of Imam Abu Bakr
bin 'Abdullah al -'Aydariis
0 Lord, we ask You by Your
Great Name, and the glory of the
Chosen One, to relieve us.
In the Name of Allah, our Master;
we begin by thanking Him for His
favours towards us.
We seek His assistance in every
matter; Helper of His creation;
Lord of the Worlds.
And by His Names, both those
revealed in the text and those
unrevealed, (all) protected and
preserved.
And by every book the Most High
revealed, and by the Qur' an, a
cure for the believers.
And through the Prophet, the guide,
we seek His nearness and refuge,
and through all the Prophets and all
the Messengers,
Their families and Companions;
through all these, and the
generations who followed them, we
seek His nearness,
And through all the angelic hosts.
We invoke our Lord by all that is
in the Unseen world,
And by the scholars, one and all,
as Allah commands, and by all the
saints and the righteous.
I mention especially the Imam, the
true Axis, Wajihaddin, the Crown
of all Gnostics.

Also to mention is al-'Aydan1s,
the Axis who removes rust from
the hearts of those who are
sincere,
Afif al-Dln Mul;tyiddin, the true
reviver of the faith, whom we
consult in our judgement and take
as an exemplar.
Remember Sa'dan, who perfected
his religion, great in spiritual
states, the crown of the
worshippers.
And remember Abu Bakr, who
composed these verses; an Imam
whom Allah has granted great
honour.
With them we beseech the
Master, the Most High, to grant
forgiveness to all who are
present,
And to show perfect kindness to
all sinners, and keep concealing
their shame, and grant them
forgiveness.
We close these verses with a
source of great strength: Allah's
Might, with such aid we cannot
be undone.
And Allah's cover will indeed
conceal our faults, and His Eye
will watch attentively upon us.
We close with a salutation to
Prophet Mul;tammad, Imam of all,
and the best of all intercessors.

0 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.
My Lord! I rely on You, just as
much as I depend on You,
Truly, my utmost desire is Your
Eternal Satisfaction.
0 Lord! 0 Lord! I beg Your
forgiveness.
I will never be disappointed in
trusting You, 0 Sovereign, King
of the Dominion.
In tears, I complain to You of my
shame, my wrongdoings and
falsehoods,
My evil deeds and negligence,
my lust for idle gossip.
And my love for this wicked
world which is barren of all
virtue,
Loaded with calamities, filled
with troubles and distractions.
Woe upon my deviating soul,
straying from the right path,
Goading me on to chase after
fame and fortune.

0 Lord! it has overpowered
me and confounds my desires,
It subdues me with prosperity,
and shackles me in chains.
I beg You. 0 my Lord, cure
my heart.
Release me from distress:
look (kindly) on sorrow
and dispel it.
0 Lord! Your Goodness
suffices us. Grace us with well
being.
There is nothing in existence,
whether general or specific,
hidden from Your Siglit.
0 Lord! Your bondsman is at
Your door, fearing the pain of
Your Punishment,
Longing for Your Reward
when the relief of Your Mercy
rains down.
Coming to You with an
apology, humble and poor.
So with your Felicity,
Generosity, and sheer Favour,
ease the supplicant's 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 tum away from.

On none can we depend but You,
Our Lord, and You suffice us.

Possessor of all Strength and
Might.
We beg You; Give us a ruler who
will establish justice so that we
can be steadfast,
Upon Your true Guidance and
shun the will of the condarnned.
0 Lord, Answerer of prayers!
You are the Hearer, the Near.
The measureless Cosmos has
grown narrow, so look upon the

So grant me relief through him,
and let my heart attain all that it

And reunite me in gladness, light,

Going forth in every matter

My Lord, keep us on the way of

And guide us, my Lord, as You

people of virtue.
Make knowledge our guide, by

understanding the secret of
communion.
Protect my heart from Satan's
influence, and from desire,

placed on those before us! Our
Lord, do not place on us a burden
that we do not have the strength

Indeed, the religion in the Sight
of Allah is Islam (submission to
His Will); [Sfuah Ali-'Imran (3),
Verse 19]
Say: "0 Allah! 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. [Sfuah Ali-'lrnran (3),
Verses 26-27]
The Compassionate and the
Merciful of the earth and the
Heavens; Allah gives of it to
whom He wants and He
withholds of it from whom He
wants; 0 Allah! have
Compassion and Mercy on us,
and of that which we have a
need. 0 All ah' free us from debts
and save us from poverty.

2 By the Qur'anfull of
Wisdom,
3 You (0 Mubammad) are
indeed one of the Messengers,
4 Oryo:-Straight Way.
5 Jt/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 Allah).
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
(Qur'iin) 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
thayv-hich they leave behind;
anll 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
(Allah) Most Compassionate,
did not send such a revelation.
You do nothing, but lie. "
16 They (the Messengers) said:
"Our Lord knows that we have
been sent as Messengers to
you.
17 "And our duty is only to
proclaim the clear Message."

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 pe?Jlle transgressing all
bor(nds!"
20 Then there came running,
/rom the farthest part of the
city, a man, saying, "0 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 (Allah) Most
Compassionate should intend
some adversity for me, of no
use whatsoever will be their
intercession for me, nor can
they save me. "
24 "/would indeed, if I were to
do so, be clearly erring. "
25 Verily, "As for me, I have faith
in the Lord ofyou (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 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 date-
palms 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?

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 Ned period determined for
it.f That is the Decree of
(Him), the Exalted in Might,
the All-Knowing.
39 And the moon, We have
measured for it, its lunar
phase( to traverse) till it
returns like the lower part of
an old (and withered) date-
stalk.
40 1i 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
(to serve them), for a while.
45 And when they are told: "Fear
that which is before you
(worldly torments) and that
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
(reyelations, proofs) of their
Ldrd, but they turn away from
it.
47 And when it is said to them:
"Spend of(the bounties) which
Allah has provided for you. "
The unbelievers say to those
who believe: "Shall we then
feed those whom, if Allah 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!

55 Verily, the Companions of the

day be joyful in all that they

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: 'Allah
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 All-
Aware.
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 (Allah) 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 faculti es
of hearing, seeing, feeling and

26 Say (0 Mubammad): "As to the

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

those with me, or if He bestows
His Mercy on us, then who can
deliver the unbelievers from a

have we put our trust. So, soon

! Supplication for Sleep
The supplicant performs the
ablution of prayer; comes to his
bed, beats the dust off it; (3 times),
lies on his right side, facing the
(direction of the) qibla, with a
pure heart, free of deceit and
malice, and says repentantly:
The supplicant then says:
I lie down in Your N arne, my
Lord, and I rise (in the morning)
in Your Name, so forgive my
sins. 0 Allah! if You should take
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.
0 Allah! save me from Your
punishment the day Your
servants are resurrected.
0 Allah! 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, Allah's 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.

Then the supplicant recites Silrah
al-Ikhlas and the Mu 'awadhatayn
(Siirah al-Falaq and Siirah al-
Nas), while his palms are joined
together (but open, facing
Heaven); then he blows into his
palms, and rubs them over

starting from the top of his head,
drawing them over his face, and
down to the rest of what he can
reach of his body (3 times).

and we entrust You with our
religion, ourselves, our wealth
and our family, and all that You
have given us. 0 Allah! place us
and them in Your Protection,
Your Safety, Your Security, and

rebellious Satan, and any
obstinate tyrant, and any
oppressor, and from every
oppressor and envious person,
and the evil of every evildoer.
Indeed, You are capable of all
things.
0 Allah I beautify us with health

supplication; and with Your
Majesty and Beauty, bestow
Blessings upon our master,
Mu]:lammad, his family, and all

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 All-
Aware.
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 (Allah) 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)?

you (and made you grow), and
endowed you with the faculti es
of hearing, seeing, feeling and

bed, beats the dust off it; (3 times),
lies on his right side, facing the
(direction of the) qibla, with a
pure heart, free of deceit and
malice, and says repentantly:
The supplicant then says:
I lie down in Your N arne, my
Lord, and I rise (in the morning)
in Your Name, so forgive my
sins. 0 Allah! if You should take
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.
punishment the day Your
servants are resurrected.
0 Allah! 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, Allah's 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.

he says:

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 (0 Mubammad)
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. [Siirah Al-
Baqarah (2), Verses 1-5]
Your God is One God. There is
no god but Him. He is the Most

0 Allah! Verily, I present myself
to you, with every breath, and
every blink (of the eye), every
moment, every thought, and
every glance used by all those in
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.

1 Praise be to Allah, Who has
sent to His Servant
(Mubammad)- 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 (0
Mubammad )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 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
Allah?
16 And when you distance yourself
from them and what they
worship, other than Allah, 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 Allah. He
Whom Allah 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 Cave's 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 Allah is true, and
that there can be no doubt
about the Hour of Judgement.
The (town's) 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."

22 (Some) say they were three,
the dog being the fourth.
(Others) say they were five,
the dog being the sixth -
doubtfully guessing at the
unrevealed. (Yet others) say
they were seven, the dog being
the eighth. Say: (0
Mul:zammad) "My Lord
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 Allah 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: "Allah 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

27 And recite (and teach) what has
been revealed to you ( 0
Mubammad) 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
(Rit;lwiin); 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 wrong-
doers 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
whobelieved and did
righteousness deeds - We shall
certainly not let the reward of
anyone who does a (single)
righteous deed, go to waste.

31 For them will be Gardens of
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:
"1 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)
come; and if indeed I am
brought back to my Lord, I
shall surely find a better place
than this. "

37 His companion, during the
course oftheir 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, Allah alone is my
Lord, and I equate no partners
with Him.
39 "When you entered your
garden, why did you not say:
'That which Allah wills (will
surely come to pass); and
there is no Power, but with
Allah.' 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 Allah, nor
was he able to defend himself

44 There, the (only) protection
comes from Alliih, 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
earth's vegetation absorbs it,
but soon it (the vegetation)
will become dry and broken
pieces, which the winds will
scatter. It is only Alliih 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
placed (before you); and you
will see the sinners fearful
about its contents. They will
say: "Woe to us! What a record
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 Iblis (Satan). He was
one of the jinn, and he
disobeyed his Lord's 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 Qur'iin,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 (0 Mubammad)
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 takes me years.
6I 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: "Allah 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
tell you that you would not be
able to bear with me
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

wanted to damage it, because

their boat, and wanted to seize
it by force.
80 "And as for the youth, his

feared that he would trouble

denying the Truth.
8I "We wanted their Lord to

82 "As for the wall, it belonged to

underneath the wall lay a

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: "0 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

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
understand a word.

94 They said: "0 Dhul Qarnayn!
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

will be blown; and We shall
assemble them all together.
100 And on that Day We shall

101 Who have turned a blind eye
to My Reminder (Qur'iin),

warning.
102 Do the unbelievers think that
they can take My bondsmen
as protectors instead of Me?
Verily, We have prepared
Hell as an abode for those
who disbelieved.
103 Say (0 Mubammad): "Shall
I tell you of those who will
lose the most through their
actions?
104 "They are those whose
efforts have been wasted in
this worldly life, while they
thought they were doing
good."
105 They are those who deny
their Lord's Signs and the
Meeting with Him. So their
works are all in vain, and
We shall not give it any
weight on the Day of
Resurrection.
106 Hell will be their reward,
because they denied the
Truth and made fun of my
Signs and Messengers!
I 07 Verily, those who believe
and do righteous works, they
shall have the Gardens of
Paradise as their abode,
I 08 Wherein they shall dwell
forever, desiring no change.

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
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 Allah's
bondsmen to me. I am a
trustworthy Messenger.
19 "Do not elevate yourselves
above Allah. 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."

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 linn),
33 And showed them signs in
which there was a clear test.

show Mercy. Indeed, He is the

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

mountains will shake
(violently), and the mountains
will crumble into shifting sand
that will be flowing down.
15 Verily, We have sent to you,
( 0 men!) a Messenger
(Mu/:zammad) 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
forcefoj. punishment.

Truth, how will you possibly
escape the Day; That Day that

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 Allah
who determine the extent of
night and day.

Qur' an 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 Qur'an as you
are comfortable with; and be
constant in prayer; and give
regular charity; and give to
Allah a goodly gift. And
whatever good deeds you send
on before you for your souls,
you will find it with Allah. And
for those (good deeds }you

I:J:adith. The Qur'an often speaks of dhikr as an act of worship "Remember Me, and
I will remember you" (jadhkuriin! adhkurkum) [Sfuah 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 Fati/:zah refers to the opening chapter of the Qur'an, Siirah al- Fati/:zah,
which is recited in the standing position of the and which may be preceded
softly or audibly by the basmalah.
7
(lit. "sincerity", "purity"). That sincerity which is to surrender to AlHih,
"with all one's heart, and all one's mind, and all one's soul". In Islam this is the
affirmation of the Divine Unity. This is accomplished virtually by the first
shahiidah, "seeing" that "there is no god but Allah".
8
See al-Qadr, (Sfuah 97), where the same sequence appears "the Angels"
and then "JibrTI".
9
The person repeats more or less 200 times, 0 Allah, and intends with each
repetition, that Allah will fulfill all his needs.
10
Cf. Qur'an, [Sfuah Al-Talaq 65, Verse 3]: wa yarzuqhu min l:zaythu la yal:ztasib
[And He will supply him with the means of subsistence whence he does not reckon,
or expect].
11
The gth form of the verb, 'akaja, 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. l'tikiifmay 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.
12
Literally, a powerful rope, but it refers to the divine covenant, which is the
means of access to Allah, via the Qur'an, the Sunnah, and endowed intelligence.
According to al-Raghib al-lsfahani, it is the means of access to a thing, and with
reference to the verse: wa bi/:zablilliihi (And hold fast to the covenant of
Allah) [Sfuah Al-'Imran ( 3), Verse 103], it means to follow the Qur'an and
abstain from schism, which are the means of obtaining protection from Allah.
13
Literally: "prayer", pl. The verb from which it is derived is $Gila (to
hallow); as an act of Allah, it is translated as "to bless"; as an act of prayer it is

NOTES
1
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 is the quintessence of remembrances that are contained in this
collection of litanies (adhkar) and supplications (ad 'iyah). 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 Allah
(dhikrullah). This refers to the invocation of the Divine Names. The Qur'an
refers to this remembrance in the following verses; "Remember Me, and I will
remember you." (jadhkuriin! adhkurkum) [Surah Al-Baqarah (2), Verse 152];
"Invoke the Name of your Lord, and devote yourself to Him with utter devotion"
[Stirah Al-Muzzammil (73), Vesre 8]; and: "The remembrance of Allah is the
greatest." (wa ladhikrulliihi akbar) [Surah AI-' An.kabut (29), Verse 45]

Imam AbdAllah bin 'Alawi ai-Haddad (d. 1132 A.H/1720 C.E) lived his
entire life in the town of Tarim in Yemen's Valley ofl:Ia<;lramawt. He is a Sufi
sage, who adhered to the 'Ash' ari Sunni Creed of Faith ( 'aq!dah), while in Islamic
jurisprudence (jiqh), he was a Shafi'i.
3
See Edward Lane for the literal meaning of wird (pl. awriid), which means "A
corning 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 Sufism it is a practice of
repeating the Names of Allah, and a set of invocations assigned to the mur!d
(disciple) by his Shaykh (spiritual master). The term murTd comes from iriidah,
which means "will", for the disciple should hand over 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 awriid vary greatly, but often include an asking of forgiveness
(istighfiir), a prayer on the Prophet Mul)arnmad :1 and the shahiidah (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
Adhkiir is the plural of dhikr, an invocation of Allah that can be rendered as
"Remembrance of Allah". Dhikr, which forms part of the wird, typically involves
the repetition of the Names of Allah, supplications taken from the Qur'an and the

Abu al-I:Iasan 'Ali bin 'AbdulHlh (d. 656 A.H/1258 C.E), called Imam al-
Shadhi!I, as the founder of the Shadhiliyyah Sufi order, which also includes the
Darqawiyyah and the 'Alawiyyah. He left no writings, except for a half-dozen
litanies such as Jfizb al-Bal:zr (Litany of the Sea), lfizb al-Barr (Litany of the
earth), and Jfizb al-Na:jr (Litany of Help). The essence of his teaching is
masterfully contained in the Kitiib al-lfikam (Book of Aphorisms) of Ibn 'Ata'
Allah (d. 709 A.H/1309 C.E)
24
Al-Siitirah: literally means "cover", but in this context it means that these
delusions and conjectures prevent the hearts from apprehending the Unseen
realities.
25
Cf. Qur'an, [Siirah (38), Verses 18 and 36].
26
Cf. [Siirah Al-Mu'minun (23), Verse 88].

Wa ka 'iibatul munqalib: literally: "from the being in an evil state in respect of

Then he recites what is easy from the Qur' an, and guides him to the spirits of the
dead and the living, and our master Imam Ahmad bin al-Hasan al-'Attas al- 'AlawT
who died in Harida in I:la<;lramawt 1334 Hijri, used to enc.ourage this said: '
"Verily, 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."
31
Ayat al-Kursi (lit. the "Verse of the Footstool"). A single Verse of the Qur'an
[Surah Al-Baqarah (2), Verse 255] of more than average length, it is one of the
principle "verses of refuge and protection", known as iiyat al-l:zift.: It is recited- in
Arabic- as a means of entrusting one's self to Allah's care, and is often written on
amulets.
32
Al-Batul: refers in this context to Fatimah al-Zahrah; the mother of Hasan and
I:Iusayn

Murta<;!a; refers to Sayyidina 'Ali bin AbT Talib (may Allah be pleased with him)

translated as "to pray". Salah is the canonical prayer as opposed to the supplication
to Allah _which is called du a. 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
associatf<d with "prayer" in the West.
14
The repetition of this should be increased after the Fajr and Maghrib prayer, and
preceded by walii f:zawla wala quwata illii billiih al- 'aliyy al-
15
Saliit al-Fajr, also Saliit a:j-Subf:z, morning prayer, two raka'at, 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 (al-shuriiq) .
16
Saliit al-Maghrib, or sunset prayer, three raka'at the first two raka'at 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.
17
This is the 36'h Sfirah in the Qur'an. Otherwise Yiisfn is among the 'Cryptic
etters' and the real meaning of which is with Allah alone. Everything has a heart,
and the heart of Qm'an is Surah Yiisfn.

Yal).ya bin Sharaf al-Nawawi (d. 676 A.H/1278 C.E) was a Shafi'i in
jurispmdence, an
' Ash'ari in theology, and famous for his Arba 'in lfadfthan (forty I:IadTth), of
which he has also written a commentary.
19
Sa!at al-Z:uhr, the noonday prayer, four raka'at, silent.

Siirah 56.
21
The tem1 means "a party", but in this context it signifies a wird. In Edward
Lane's Arabic-English Lexicon, it states: A set portion of the Qur'an 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: qara'a l:zizbuhii minal Qur'iin (He recited his
set portion of the Qur'an).
22
The lfizb al-Baf:zr, composed by Imam al-Shadhi!I, uses passages from the
Qur'an.lts recital is famops, for saving Damascus from conquest by the enemy. Its
power resides in the litapy. The groups of letters are the mysterious isolated
letters which stand before 29 Nrahs. Seven consecutive stlrahs begin with the
letters, and these, together with..bther letters, are called the l:zawamim.
