Description :


'Acts of Devotion : Recommended Acts for Every Month of the Year' is a summary of Irshad al-Khass wal 'Amm li Bayan Fadl Ba'd al-Ayyam wa al-Layali wa al-Shuhur wa al-A'wam [Guiding the Elect and Ordinary Folk Through Clarifying the Benefit of Some Days, Nights, Months and Years].


Sidi Idris al-Iraqi's Ikhtisar al-Irshad li-khass wa l-'am, translated here as "Acts of Devotion" has long been considered a useful summary of supererogatory worship according to notable annual dates on the Islamic lunar calendar. Al-'Iraqi was the Imam of the Zawiya Tijaniyya in Fez, Morocco, during the mid-twentieth century.


"Acts of Devotion" is noteworthy in its concise exposition of the relevant chapter on the sixteenth century Indian scholar Muhammad al-Ghawth's Al-Jawahir al-Khams ('The Book of Five Jewels'). Al-Iraqi supplements this material with various subsequent commentaries on the text, and includes the orally and textually transmitted variations of Shaykh Ahmad al-Tijani as taught to his Companions.


We expect Muslims all across the world will benefit from this guide on practices of Du'a and Adhkar for each month and major days of the Islamic new year.
