Description :

 

In his extraordinary work, Habib Alawi has laid down the foundations of the religion in light of the Ratib, the famous litany of his grandfather, the Axial Saint, Imam Abdallah bin Alawi al-Haddad. Not only does he lay down the foundations, but he expounds on each topic, eventually covering the levels of Islam, Iman and Ihsan.


His aim is to inform the people that each invocation in the Ratib has an intentional purpose and it is not a random compilation. There is a purpose behind the order, sequence, and number. The Imam has carefully selected the words in the supplications, and his selection alludes to his extensive knowledge of Allah.

The book begins with the Creed of Imam al-Haddad for the simple reason that one can only make the remembrance of One Who is known. It is sufficient for all who know it and believe it. We say, 'Our master, Imam al-Haddad has said in his book an-Nasa'ih ad-Diniyya :
