kaslullh encouraged the believers to engage
in du' by continually mentioning its virtues,
explaining its db (etiquettes) and also teaching
the words ol hundreds ol du's, which are scattered
throughout the books ol ahdth. 1he $ahbah
were bestowed with the great ni'mah ol emulating
their beloved in all matters, as were the pious
individuals who lollowed in their lootsteps. 1hey
were all absorbed in this quality ol turning to
Allh in all matters and supplicating to lim,
asking lim to lull their needs, no matter how
insignicant they may be. may Allh reward
ii
them all in abundance, lor il kaslullh had not
practically taught the words and lormulae ol du's,
and il the $ahbah and the pious 'ulam had not
preserved and transmitted this priceless treasure
to us, it would have been virtually impossible lor
people weak in un like us to know how to ask lrom
Allh .
lurthermore, the 'ulam and muhaddithn
conlerred a great lavour upon us by producing
various compilations ol supplications, choosing
lrom the hundreds that are to be lound in the
treasure ol ahdth. One such compilation is Al-
lizb Al-A'zam, compiled by mull 'Al Al-Qr . lt
is divided into seven parts, one lor each day ol the
week, in order to lacilitate regular recitation with
ease. 1his compilation was part ol the ma'mlt
(prescribed practices) ol the great luminary in
the eld ol tazkiyah and ihsn, 8haykh-al-ladth
ladrat mawln muhammad 7akariyy .
1he book in your hands is an abridged version ol
this very compilation. 1aking into consideration
the dihculties people experience in carrying out
ma'mlt in our times, due to heavy commitments,
iii
lack ol barakah in time and also through lack ol
resolution, ladrat 8haykh-al-ladth instructed
his very close disciple and khallah $ul lqbl
madan to prepare an abridged version ol Al-
lizb Al-A'zam.
with great ehort and care ladrat $ul $hib
accomplished the task, choosing supplications
lrom Al-lizb Al-A'zam that were comprehensive
and established through authentic sources. may
Allh reward him in abundance lor this great
lavour upon the Lmmah.
lt has been my desire lor some time that this
compilation be published with an lnglish
translation, so that those living in lnglish speaking
countries can acquire its benets in lull. Lpon my
request, my dear mawln muhammad chothia
rendered the lnglish translation through the
orace ol Allh . lt was then checked and edited
by my dear mawln 8ulaymn lhula. may Allh
reward their ehorts. mn.
1his particular compilation is lor those people
who are unable to read the complete version due
to lack ol time or weakness. As lor those who have
iv
included in their practices the habit ol reciting the
complete Al-lizb Al-A'zam, it is necessary that
they continue with their normal practice, lor that
is the desired and prelerred choice.
l request and urge all my brothers and sisters to
include this compilation in their daily practices
and read it with regularity. lnsh'allh, they will
reap unimaginable benets in both worlds, as
any practice carried out with continuity, however
small, is very much beloved to the creator.
