Description :

Al-Wazifat al-Karimah - A Collection of Prayers and Invocations is a daily devotional that contains traditional litanies [wird] and supplications [du'as] from the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah. It is a practical guide for the believer [mumin]. If the wayfarer [salik] sincerely applies its teachings he will traverse the stages of the path by his spiritual state so that for him knowledge is experience.

The prayers and invocations in this manual have been transmitted by A'lahadrat Imam Ahmad Rida Khan al-Qadiri, May Allah be pleased with him, and collated, with invocations, by Hujjat al-Islam Shaykh Hamid Rida Khan, May Allah be pleased with him, al-Mufti al-A'zam Shaykh Mustafa Rida Khan, May Allah be pleased with him, and al-Mufassir al-A'zam Shaykh Ibrahim Rida Khan "Jilani Miya", may Allah be pleased with him. All Du'as and supplications have been taken from the Qur'an, the Sunnah or transmitted from heart to heart from the Awliya.

This indispensible handbook is a translation of al-Wazifat al-Karimah and includes Arabic supplications with transliteration for easy recitation and memorizsation. The book starts with an introduction into the essence of du'a - its importance and its power. Thereafter, the main text of Al-Wazifat al-Karimah is presented with the Arabic text coupled with the transliteration and a translation. Additional supplications have been included in the subsequent chapters followed by a Chapter on Salawat [Durud] upon the Noble Messenger, Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam. The book ends with a chapter on the famous book on Salawat : Dala'il al-Khayrat sharif and its author.
