Compiled by the great Imam, Mufassir, Muhaddith, and Shaykh 'Abdullah Siraj al-Din al-Husayni, this text includes several hundred prayers known from the Qur'an and Sunnah, suitable for frequent and everyday use. It begins with a comprehensive sequence of Prophetic supplications recommended for each morning and evening, it then continues with chapters of selected du'a with specific purposes, including:
Transmitted supplications that include the Greatest Name of Allah
Exhortation to say Lā Ilāha Illā Allāh often
Pithy words of praise
Prayers for seeking forgiveness
Verses of protection from evil
Verses for curing illness
An extensive collection of prayers upon the Prophet ﷺ
And many more.
The Shaykh writes:
“By Allah, these supplications have secrets, light, distinct features, and effects which the believing slave benefits from in this world and the next. Be diligent, therefore, my Muslim brother and sister in reciting them, and supplicate for goodness to the one who spread and compiled them.”
This is a book that is designed to be used frequently, with benefits that will continue to reveal themselves and increase in abundance over time, if Allah wills. Each prayer is given in its Arabic text with full vowels, with English translation and transliteration on facing pages. Citations for verses of the Qur'an are given in footnotes.
