Description :
The great saint, and noble descendent of Imam al-Haddad, Habib 'Alawi has authored the extensive commentary on the famous Ratib al-Haddad. He covers many topics of the path of the Bani 'Alawi, including theology, jurisprudence and subtleties of the path of realisation.
This abridged version captures the heart and essence of Habib 'Alawi's commentary. It explains the nineteen litanies of the Ratib, illustrating the source of each invocation and the benefits with reference to the Qur'an and hadith of the Beloved Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.
It is hoped that this short but valuable translation of the commentary will act as a doorway to the larger translation of the commentary and provide readers with an immediate benefit to it's blessings, for all those who are seeking Allah through the greatest of paths; the path of His Remembrance.
