INTRODUCTION

The Khulah compiled by abb Umar bin Muammad
bin Slim bin af is a distinctive collation of Remembrances
- Qurnic Suwar, litanies, supplications and selected poems.
These forms of devotional articulations are intended to bring us
nearer to the ONE REALITY, ALLH , hence the title The
Cream of Remembrance. The word cream suggests that this
is the finest selection of supplications and invocations of the
Divine Names and Being. The Qurn refers to this
remembrance in the following verse: Remember the Name of
your Lord, and devote yourself to Him wholeheartedly. [Srah
Muzzammil (73), Verse 8]. The merits and profundity of
remembrance, is also encapsulated in the following adth:
Shall I not inform you of the best of your actions, and purest
in the eyes of your King; and the loftiest in your grades
(actions) that are better for you than the spending of gold and
silver; and better for you than meeting your enemy and striking
their necks? They said: Yes, indeed, O Messenger of Allh.
He said: The remembrance of Allh. [At-Tirmidh and Ibn
Mja]
The raison detre for this translation and transliteration is
twofold:
the absolute need for English-speaking Muslims to have a
book of such magnitude in their homes, to diligently use it
and to reflect on its contents; and that,
10
it is a specially selected compendium of supplications and
invocations handed down to us from our righteous spiritual
masters.
In order to comform to the original text of the Khulah, we

have opted for the Uthmni Script instead of the Indo-
Pakistani format, in the transcription of the Qurnic Suwar and
Verses.
The second edition of the Khulah has been restructured,

with the blessings of abb Umar bin Muammad bin Slim
bin af, in order to make its reading more user-friendly.
This edition has been divided into units denoting Fajr, Thuhr
etc. This has necessarily entailed repetition of certain Adhkr.
The up-side of this formatation is that there is no necessity to
page to-and-fro as in the original and first edition.
The sentences that are underlined in green must be repeated
thrice (3 times).
For the Qurnic translations we opted for The Holy

Qurn by Yusuf Ali, The Noble Qurn by Drs Muammad
Al-Hilli and Musin Khan and The Qurn by Maulana
Waiduddn Khan. We eliminated, as far as possible, the
supplications Thee, Thou, Knowest and Thinkest etc.
in order to maintain grammatical consistency and desist from
alienating the modern reader. We tried our best to ensure the
combination of an accurate translation and an elegantly
readable rendering of the Khulah.
This translation has valuable endnotes and a glossary to

explain the meanings of untranslatable Arabic words, Islamic
concepts and English terminology. In addition, it provides a
11
brief bibliography of scholars cited, and the sources of some
quotations. Where applicable, the Shamsiyyah format of the
transliteration has been used. It is our opinion, that the use of
this format, will benefit the person who cannot read Arabic. In
order to make it easy for readers from any part of the world to
read the transliteration of the Arabic, we have used, in the
main, the Encyclopedia of Islam (New Edition), with minor
adjustments. As a matter of completion, we have added the
sanad of abb Umar bin Muammad bin Slim bin af (see
appendix 1).
The English meanings are not intended to supplant the

Arabic, as most of the essential devotions, such as alh, are in
Arabic, and a Muslim is required, according to the Sacred Law,
to recite his/her alh in Arabic. The English is merely there to
make the supplications and recitations more meaningful, and to
enable the wayfarer to reflect on the essence of the meanings.
One of the distinctive features of this compilation by

abb Umar bin Muammad bin Slim bin af, is the
manner in which insightful and perceptively chosen Qurnic
verses, are holistically weaved into the supplications,
remembrances and litanies.
Like the declaration of Unity, alh, zakh, fasting and

good deeds, the litanies and supplications are an integral part of
Ibdah and a recognition of our unitive state. They are the
fuel in our wayfaring to Allh the Exalted, and sustenance for
the soul on its journey to self-knowledge and self-awareness.
They connect us with our original self and our human
consciousness. They also narrow the gap between us and the
Divine and enable our inner cosmos to experience the now
12
that moment where duality is nullified and a state of pure
ecstacy and bliss is experienced. Remembrance of Allh the
All-Mighty, is an acknowledgement of His Existence, which is
founded on pure and absolute love. Allh said in a adth
Quds:
I was a Hidden Treasure and I loved to be known, so I
created. Thus, the central and fundamental purpose of
creation, is to know and to love unconditional, unrewarding
love.
We as human beings are not merely flesh, bones cells,

proteins, fats and molecules, but are multi-dimensional beings
that function within a multiple interactive and open system.
Being an open system, we are eternally connected and in
dynamic equilibrium, with the universe of energy and light of
many frequencies. Just as there is a demonstrative relationship
between matter and energy, so too is there an established
relationship between our higher spirit and our physical body.
The multiplicity of sounds (sonic energy of different

frequencies) with their intonations during dhikrullh, is
understood to blight the trapped negative energies (from cell
phones, microwave ovens, food, Jinn etc.) in our bodies, and
replace them with pure positive vibrations, nurturing our
bodies back into a state of balance. The sonic energy created
during the recital of these litanies, is believed to deliver that
needed quantum dose of magneto-electric energy to the human
system, through the scientific process of resonance induction.
It is our hope and prayer that this translated and

transliterated version of the Khulah the Cream of
13
Remembrance will be spiritually gratifying and enriching to
the devotees and wayfarers, on their journeys to Allh .
Wallhu alamu bi awb (

). And Allh

knows best (regarding its correctness).

A BIOGRAPHY OF ABB UMAR BIN
MUAMMAD BIN SLIM BIN AF
(BORN 1964)
1. INTRODUCTION

In the Name of Allh, the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.
Blessings and Peace upon the Prophet Muammad, his family
and his Companions.
abb Umar who currently resides in the spiritual and

revered city of Tarm, aramaut, Republic of Yemen, is a
thirty-ninth (39th) generation descendent of the Prophet
Muammad through usayn the grandson of the Prophet
. True to the Prophetic teachings, the abb advocates a pure
and universal Islam - i.e. a non-sectarian, non-racial, non-
doctrinal Islm.
The Prophet said: The people of Yemen have come to

you. They are the softest of hearts and the most tender of souls.
mn is that of the Yemenis, and wisdom is Yemenite yonder.
(Narrated by Ab Hurayrah in a Al-Bukhr)
With their utmost concern for the poor, orphans and down-
trodden, and living a life in total and dynamic submission to
the Creator, the abb and his righteous Yemeni forefathers are
a true embodiment of this narration.
15
2. SCHOLASTIC AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS
abb Umar is one of the worlds foremost scholars of

Islamic Religious Sciences. This gift from the All-Mighty has
enabled him to draw upon a rich and varied treasure of
knowledge which he passionately uses to spread the message
of Islam. He is also an outstanding academic, and the spiritual
leader of the world-wide B Alaw fi Order. The abb
was raised in a household that cultivated a tradition of Islamic
scholarship and righteousness. It was from his father, the
eminent abb Muammad bin Slim, that he received special
tuition and traditional religious guidance. It was his father who
was largely responsible for his introduction into Islamic
Spirituality (Taawwuf). As part of his on-going training, he
was exposed to circles of knowledge (Ilm), and attended
gatherings of invocation (Dhikr). His grandfathers were highly
respected scholars of their time, and were lauded for their
erudity, their teachings of the Sacred Law, their principles and
ethics, and their dawah. Besides memorising the Qurn at an
early age, abb Umar also memorised the core texts of Fiqh,
adth, the Arabic language, and studied other facets of the
religious sciences.
After his fathers death, the young abb was sent to the
city of Al-Bayda, where he enrolled at the Ribat-Al-Bayda. It
was here that he studied the Traditional Islamic Sciences under
the expert tutelage of the celebrated scholars, abb
Muammad bin Abdullah Al- Haddr and abb Zayn bin
Sumayt , the latter being the distinguished Shafii jurist and
scholar. During his stay at the Ribat-Al-Bayda, the abb
excelled in his studies and distinguished himself as a scholar.
16
Noticing his passion for dawah and his unusual scholastic
abilities, his mentors had no hesitation in appointing him as
one of the teachers at the institute.
In his unquenchable pursuit of knowledge, the abb

temporarily settled in the city of Taizz, where he studied under
the Mufti of Taizz, the esteemed abb Ebrhm bin Aql bin
Yay. It was not long after his visit to Taizz, that abb
Umar set out for Mecca and Medina, to perform the ajj and
visit the grave of our abb Al-Muaf Muammad .
During his sojourn in the ijz, he was blessed to have as a
teacher, the renowned scholar, abb Abdul Qdir bin Amad
Al Saqqf and, as if by Providence, he was also fortunate to
receive knowledge from two of the illustrious giants of Islam,
abb Amad Masr Al-addd and abb Al-As Al-
abash. abb Umar also visited Oman which is situated on
the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula. Here he propounded
the objectives and goals of the Sharah (maqsid) and turned
many a heart.
Guided by the All-Mighty, as he always was, it was now

time for the abb to return to the land of his birth. The city of
Al-Shir, situated on the south-eastern part of Yemen, would
be the route that would take the abb back to Tarm in
aramaut. The return of the abb to Tarm, would culminate
in the establishment of the flagship, Dr Al-Muaf. Ever so
conscious of his mission, abb Umar would call the people to
Islam and would humbly and systematically sow the seeds of
piety and erudition in their hearts. For abb Umar, the
ultimate goal of this circuitous journey, was the journey itself;
undertaken with love, tenderness, self-awareness,
17
determination, humility, hope and an unflinching faith in the
All-Mighty.
3. ABB UMARS FATHER - MUAMMAD BIN

SLIM BIN HFI: ROLE MODEL AND PILLAR
OF STRENGTH
abb Umars father was greatly instrumental in laying

down the foundations of Islamic scholarship in the young
abb, by exposing him to knowledge of the Qurn and
Sunnah, and inculcating in him, the profundity and importance
of the supplications and invocations.
Sadly, his father was abducted by the Communists, and

martyred; his body never to be found. It is said that
Martyrdom in itself is an honour and a privilege: How
glorious is the fame of amza - The Martyr and later that of
assan and usayn . With our myopic view of life, we do
not always see the whole of Allhs plan. The keys of life and
death are in the Hands of Allh. The abb who accompanied
his father on that fateful day (of Jumuah) was only left with
his fathers shawl in his hands; this very shawl, which to him,
was to become the shawl of light. Undeterred by this
gruesome attempt to suppress and stifle the Call to Islam, the
abb resolutely set about unweaving that tapestry of light (the
shawl) thread by thread, and transporting these threads of light
to different parts of the world. Guided by Divine Inspiration,
the abb implanted these luminous threads into the hearts of
every person that he came into contact with.
It is said: Mens true mettle is known in adversity as gold is
assayed in fire. With superb resilience, the abb confronted
18
adversity head-on, and patiently persevered in his efforts, to
impart his knowledge, and to spread the message of Islm.
4. THE DOYEN OF DR AL-MUAF:
Coupled with the many years that abb Umar spent in

his travels in quest of knowledge, and with the teaching and
development of people - infusing spirituality into their hearts
and imbibing them with the essence of the Qurn and Sunnah
all this would ultimately crystallize in the establishment of
Dr Al-Muaf, where the tenets of authentic (pure) Islm
would be taught.
This educational establishment was founded in 1414 A.H.

(1993 C.E) and officially opened in the month of Dhul ijjah
1417 A.H. (1997 C.E). Teachings and instructions at this
luminous institution are based, among others, on the wisdom of
eminent scholars and savants such as Imm Al-Ghazl and
Imm Abdullah bin Alaw Al-addd , who emphasised in
their teachings, the essence of righteousness, justice, self-
examination, self-improvement, reflection and adab
(propriety). Students from all over the world Malaysia,
Indonesia, Singapore, Pakistan, Australia, Egypt, Uganda,
Kenya, Tanzania, the Comoros Islands, Ethiopia, Namibia,
South Africa, Canada, the United States of America, Great
Britain, Denmark, Belgium, Germany as well as some Arab
states and other countries attend this prestigious institute.
Satellite institutions of a similar nature, have been established
in other countries e.g. Indonesia. At Dr Al-Muaf, students
are fastidiously trained in how to spread the Message of the
Qurn, the message of our Prophet Muammad , and the
19
message of all those learned and righteous scholars that came
after him .
5. ABB UMAR: THE PHILANTHROPIST
Being a strong believer that gratitude to Allh should not

be measured only in words but in action and conduct of life,
the abb founded the Al-Rafah Charitable Society (Trust).
This Yemen-based non-governmental organization (NGO) is
synergistically partnered with Muslim Aid Australia. The
principle focus of this organization is the management of
poverty and the provision of health-care to the poor and under-
privileged in Yemen. Despite operating in a very challenging
environment, the Al-Rafah Charitable Society (Trust) has
consistently, over the years, delivered much-needed aid to the
less-fortunate in Yemen. Its resolve is on-going.
6. ABB UMAR: THE TRAVELLER AND CALLER

TO ISLM
True to his mission and vision, abb Umar spends a great

deal of the year travelling Providentially moved and
transported to where the winds of his destiny takes him to
countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and The Americas, spreading
the message of authentic Islm. These extensive travels have
witnessed the abb addressing thousands of people in
countries like Indonesia and Malaysia.
When the abb is not travelling, he would nevertheless

stay in contact with his global audiences, using digital
technology and the world-wide-web. During this period, he
would also focus his energies in co-ordinating the Al-Rafah
20
Charitable Society (Trust) and developing and implementing
scholastic methodologies at Dr Al-Muaf.
Being ever so conscious of the complexities, chaos, ways

of life, and the constant change of values that this millennium
has ushered-in globally, the abb has emphatically advocated
to his world-wide audiences, the importance of the Qurn and
Sunnah as the only true guidance to salvation, and the often-
neglected understanding, that we are an ummatan wasaan (a
balanced and moderate believing people). Having a deep
understanding of the fact that people vary in their
comprehension and capacity for gnosis and faith, the abb
would balance the substance of his lectures, with the intention
of reaching every individual, and with the knowledge that the
dawah that he is expounding, is through the Grace of Allh,
and that all and everything will ultimately return to Allh.
In his own country of Yemen, the abb has been

instrumental in transforming the wayward beliefs of people,
and developing their higher potential especially that of the
errant youth by guiding them on the path of rectitude, and
infusing into their hearts, a deeper love of Islm and that of the
Prophet .
7. ABB UMAR: THE ADVISOR
Not a day would pass by, but the abb would humbly
share some pearls of wisdom with his audiences; pearls of
wisdom that would flow from a serene and tranquil self. abb
Umar humbly advises the following ten spiritual and ethical
principles:
21
Develop a strong certainty.
Display rapport (i.e. understand one another, and
communicate with each other) and show composure even
in adversity.
Allow your whole being to be permeated by Islm.
Devote your entire being to the remembrance of Allh, the
All-Mighty, and follow in the footsteps of the last Prophet,
Al- Muaf , the true one.
Be resolute, and show gratitude to Allh alone.
Respect all the religious books the Tawrh (Old
Testament) given to Nab Ms , the Zabr (Psalms)
given to Nab Dwd , the Injl (Bible, New Testament)
given to Nab s and the Furqn (Qurn) given to
Muammad and show respect to all the other Prophets.
Treat all of humanity with graciousness and respect.
Show the utmost courtesy to all scholars; and
Fervently ask Allh for forgiveness.
8. ABB UMAR: THE PUBLISHER
abb Umar has published widely. In addition to his

publications, he has also produced dozens of audio and visual
cassettes and compact discs. The following is a list of some of
the publications to his credit:
Aid to Those Seeking the Pleasure of the Creator through

the Clarification of Noble Character (Isf libi Ri al-
Khallq bi Bayn Ma Karam al Akhlq).
Advice to Students (Tawjiht al-ullb).
Our Character (Khuluqun).
The Glorious Treasure (Al-Dhakhra al-Musharrafa)
22
The Summary of Prophetic Aid (Khulah al-Maddad al-
Nabaw fil Adhkr) a book of invocations.
The Shimmering Light Mentioning the Birth of the
Interceding Prophet (Al-Diya al-Lami fi Dhikr Mawlid al-
Nabi al-Shafi).
The Pure Drink Mentioning the Life of the Fullest of
Moons (Al-Sharb al-uhr fi Dhikri irti Badri al-
Budr).
The Forthpouring of Spiritual Aid (Fay al-Imdd) a
compilation of sermons from the Friday (Jumuah)
prayers, the prayer for rain and the Eid prayers.
Selections from Shif al-Saqm (Al-Mukhtr min Shif al-
Saqm).
The Preachers Refinement (Thaqaft al-Khab).
The Light of Faith from the Speech of the Beloved of al
Rahman (Nr al-mn min Kalm abb al-Ramn) a
compilation of poetry.
Forthpourings of Favours from the Mercy of the Giver of
Favours (Fait al-Mann min Ramat Wahhb al-Minn).
To sanctify and promote the teachings of the Qurn and

that of the Prophet , abb Umar has appeared on, and had
been interviewed by numerous satellite channels, world-wide.
9. CONCLUSION:
When you meet the abb for the first time, you are
captivated by his indescribable degree of awareness, serenity,
peace and tranquillity. These character traits have been
moulded by a deep and profound understanding of Reality, and
by living strictly according to the Qurn and the Sunnah. The
abbs life was markedly influenced and fashioned by the
23
many Allh-fearing and pious persons (Aslf) who taught him,
and whose company he always sought; the most substantial and
most overwhelming contribution being made by his father his
role model and mentor Muammad bin Slim bin fi.
The teachings of the abb, like that of our righteous

forefathers, are not separate from their lives living in the
now, living in truth, and ultimately living in absolute
submission to, and glorification of Allh .
A leading light of spirituality, a renowned scholar and

academic, a teacher of excellence, a determined and
indefatigable caller to Islm, an unsolipsistic philanthropist; in
short, a whole and complete human being. This succintly sums
up the character and disposition of abb Umar bin fi.
After having unravelled the threads of light from his

fathers shawl, the abb unselfishly wove these threads into
the web of human history, where they will forever light up the
hearts of millions, for generations to come.
We make duah that Allh through His Enabling Grace,

pardon him, accept all his endeavours and good works, and
bless him with a long life, Insh-Allh.

PREFACE

O Muammad! When my servants ask you concerning
Me, then know that I am indeed close to them. I listen to the
supplications of every supplicant when he calls upon Me.
[Srah Al-Baqarah (2) Verse 186]
My bondsman remembers me not in solitude except that I

likewise engage in remembrance of him amongst a conclave of
my Angels; nor does he remember Me in a gathering (of
rememberers) except that I engage in remembrance of him in
the most sublime of assemblies. [At-abarni]
Islm, which in its doctrine of tawd exhibits

an effort of the human mind at austere
conation, and in its mystical life (in part
conditioned by that doctrine) exhibits the
effort of the human spirit to escape not only
beyond the sensory but beyond conation, yet
exemplifies the human need for sacramentals
- for the outward and visible sign of the
inward and spiritual grace. (Padwick, 1996:
xxiv).
Here Padwick references a critical component of the

manner and the way in which devotees ought to engage,
embrace, understand and finally internalise the higher purposes
25
of Islamic devotional practices. There can be little doubt that
the most central ontological condition of any revealed religion,
is spirituality. In Islam, this does not imply dismissing the
numerous articulations of our material existence - the vagaries
of the here-and-now. On the contrary, we recognise the
importance of this earthly (dunyawi) condition through the
Prophetic supplication: Rabbana tina fidduny asana wa
filkhirati asana wa qin adhban-nr. (O Lord, grant us
the best of this world and the best of the hereafter and protect
us from the punishment of Perdition). [Srah Al-Baqarah (2)
Verse 201]
There can be little doubt that the best of this world

embraces all that which has the potential of drawing us closer
to Allh . These may find their expression in acts of
kindness to others, pursuing justice in all spheres of our lives,
caring for our families and fellow humans, and advancing the
purposes of human decency, respect for others, and upholding
the Allh-given and inalienable rights of human dignity in
general. From the Islamic perspective, it would do us well to
remember that human dignity is irrevocably linked to the idea
of Divinity. Human suffering is nothing to take lightly; but to
pour scorn upon another is more harmful to the individual soul
than to the object of that scorn. This is emphatically expressed
by the Prophetic saying that Malicious envy (asad) devours
the goodness of the soul in as much as fire destroys wood.
[Ab Dwd, Ibn Mjah]. Herein lays the wisdom of the
Qurnic dictum, that Allh does not change the earthly
conditions of a people (m bi qawmin) until they change that
which resides within their hearts (m bi anfusihim). No
external changes within this temporal order (m bi qawmin)
26
can be effected, or even hoped for, without the necessary
internal transformation of the soul; or, more bluntly, without
the obliteration of the pernicious proclivities of the human ego
or lower self.
The path of Adhkr (invocations) and that of Du

(supplication), is the path of spiritual redemption and
realisation. It is the way of the seeker the way of the spiritual
traveller. In this respect, it is important to understand that mere
rote memorisation is not good enough. While it is important to
memorise and read as much as possible, it is much more
important to understand, internalise, reflect-on and practice the
values contained within these adhkr and adiya. In the world
of the spiritual, quality takes precedence over quantity. The
major difference between dhikr and du lies in its
formulation and expression. Adhkr normally take the form of
liturgical utterances and may assume a variety of postures and
movements whether in khalwa (retreat) or in a group. The
adhkr may be performed silently (preferred by many
Naqshbandi Orders) or they may be vocalised. Du, on the
other hand, normally takes the form of simple supplications
with the palms raised as a symbol of humble imploration. This
may also be made silently or be vocalised. But at the heart of
these two forms of sacred interaction with the Divine, lies the
same essence the need to gain His Nearness, His Love and
His Riwn (Good Pleasure). The Prophet said: Addu
mukh-khul ibdah (Prayers form the essence of worship) [At-
Tirmidh]. It is towards a realisation of this essence that the
seeker aspires. The essence of dhikr and du is one.
27
Towards this end three aspects of this path are noteworthy:
1) Tarbiyyat al-Irdah, or the disciplining of the will
2) Tafiyyat al-Qalb, or cleansing of the heart and
3) Tazkiyyat an-Nafs, purification of the ego.
While much needs to be said about the heart and the ego, it
remains of critical importance to locate and understand the role
of the will in pursuit of this path. Muammad al-ajjar in his
work al-ubb al-Khlid (Eternal Love) crystallizes its
importance in the following two facets of constituted intention:
a) Uluww al-Himma, or an elevated firmness of purpose
and
b) Sidq al-alab, or sincerity and truthfulness in seeking.
[ajjar, 1991:79].
Beyond this is the important distinction that needs to be

made between the various orders of knowledge. On the one
hand we have what is commonly referred to as discursive
knowledge, which is important in aligning ourselves with the
demands of our earthly sojourn. This form of knowledge
requires study, research and the exercise of our rational
powers. On the other hand, we have what might be referred to
as inspired and beatific knowledge or al-Ilm al-Ladun in
short, Divine or religious knowledge; knowledge inspirited by
the spirit itself.
In his chapter Book of the Wonders of the Heart (Kitb

Ajaib al-Qalb) in the Iy Ulm al-Dn, Imm Ab mid
al-Ghazl (d.505AH/1111CE) mentions five factors that stand
between the human and the acquisition of this knowledge.
28
The first is the imperfectly formed nature of the adolescent
or young person. This youthful condition does not allow for the
penetration of spiritual intelligibles.
The second barrier is that of the commission of sinful acts

and acts of disobedience to Allh. These acts become the rust
that despoils the spiritual sensitivities and proclivities of the
heart. It is that condition referred to in the following Qurnic
verse: Rna ala qulbihim m kn yaksibn. (Upon their
hearts is the stain of the mischief that they do). [Srah
Muaffifn (83) Verse 14]. The rn is the rust.
The third impediment is that the heart may not be focussed

on the direction of the Reality sought. The mirror of Reality,
as it were, is misplaced and hence reflective of contingent
realities only. In this case his/her attention may lapse into an
exclusive consideration of bodily submission, and the common
distractions of livelihood. Acts of worship become mere habit
and automaton in nature; and the excessive concerns with ones
(dunyaw) responsibilities, collectively lead to an inability to
contemplate and meditate upon the Lordly Presence and the
hidden Divine realities.
The fourth is the veil of blind belief rooted in an uncritical

acceptance of particular theological positions and even the
madhhib (Legal Schools of Thought). Imm al-Ghazl is
certainly not an anti-madh-hab charlatan after all, he
embraced the Shafi School of Thought. Here he merely
reminds us of the dangers of madh-hab fanaticism and its
stultifying consequences. In short, there is goodness and grace
in all Legal Schools of Thought. Another veil of a similar order
he mentions, is blind imitation of ones parents. This, once
29
again, is not tantamount to disrespect for ones parents. In fact,
such disrespect may act as an even greater veil. The simple
truth is that socially conditioned attitudes, whether they stem
from ones parents, family, friends or otherwise, may seriously
impede both ones connection and ones understanding of the
Real.
The fifth impediment is ignorance of the direction of

Divine knowledge. Not knowing, denying, or being unable to
identify the sources of this category of knowledge, has the
potential to scuttle, almost in its entirety, ones quest for such
knowledge. Knowledge, according to Imm al-Ghazl, is
derived from two preceding items of related knowledge.
Combining the two in a congruent way, yields a third item of
knowledge that may be beneficial. An example furnished by
Imm al-Ghazl to demonstrate a potentially flawed approach
is, once again, that of the mirror. One who desires to see the
nape of his neck and holds up only one to his face will fail
completely. It would only be in the combination of two mirrors
held symmetrically one to the front and the other behind
that would reveal the nape. In this mirror metaphor, congruity
of vision stems from congruity in alignment. [Skelli, 2007:41-
50; al-Ghazl, Vol. 4, 922-4].
The above-mentioned, according to al-Ghazl, are some

of the impediments and veils that stand between the seeker and
the spiritual nature of the heart. One of the primary methods to
overcome these impediments, is to engage a systematic regime
of adhkr and adiya with ones heart and mind exclusively
focused on the Divine Presence.
30
This quintessential compilation by al-abb Umar bin
Muammad bin Slim bin fi (may Allh protect him) is one
of the most accessible and pointed selections of adhkr and
adiya. It has the potential to take the seeker a very long way
along the path. This, for two reasons:
Firstly, the fact that it is abb Umar bin fi who

compiled it. He is without a doubt one of the most
accomplished sages of our time. In the circles of Sufism, it is a
well-known axiom, that it is not only any particular
compilation that might yield the desired benefits, but that the
degree of those benefits is also contingent on the hand (heart)
that penned and compiled it. The fayn al-barakah
(overflowing grace) flows through the spiritual streams of these
realised shuykh with their unbroken chains of grace, reaching
to the Prophet himself. While some may wish to dismiss
these as popular beliefs, it is important that those who have
Islamic Spirituality at heart, and who know that Spirituality
constitutes the core, the centre and the most important aspect of
Religion as such, to know this; and
Secondly, that this compilation has been selected and

assembled in such a way that it makes provision for a variety of
occasions, conditions and even personal propensities, all of
which allow the devotee a much more edifying, intimate and
enriching engagement with the texts.
My final thoughts go to Professor Ghoesain Mohamed

(editor of this series) who must certainly be counted amongst
the foremost champions of this misunderstood, and oftentimes
ignored, genre of Muslim literature. Far removed from the
31
disruptive wastage of internecine organizational and
institutional politics, he has quietly and productively spent his
energies in the spiritual re-edification of countless
communities. In many a discordant community, may the
edificatory notes he is sounding, become a crescendo and a
triumph of harmony and love so desperately needed in Muslim
society today. May he also be rewarded for his intentions and
efforts.

NOTES
1
Khulah: literally means the dregs of milk in the bottom of the
cooking pot, or, the fire that has purified the butter, the gold or the
silver. In the context of this book, the Khulah is the quintessence
of remembrances that are contained in this collection of litanies
(adhkr) and supplications (adiyah). It is a specially chosen
collection that has been handed down to us from the great spiritual
masters over the generations. Hence, we have entitled this book:
The Cream of Remembrance. By remembrance here, we mean the
remembrance of Allh (dhikrullh). This refers to the invocation of
the Divine Names. The Qurn refers to this remembrance in the
following verses; Remember Me, and I will remember you.
(fadhkurn adhkurkum) [Srah Al-Baqarah (2), Verse 152]; Invoke
the Name of your Lord, and devote yourself to Him with utter
devotion [Srah Al-Muzzammil (73), Vesre 8]; and: The
remembrance of Allh is the greatest. (wa ladhikrullhi akbar)
[Srah Al-Ankabt (29), Verse 45]
2
Imam Abd Allh bin Alawi al-Haddad (d. 1132 A.H/1720 C.E)
lived his entire life in the town of Tarim in Yemens Valley of
aramawt. He is a Sufi sage, who adhered to the Ashari Sunni
Creed of Faith (aqdah), while in Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), he
was a Shfii.
3
See Edward Lane for the literal meaning of wird (pl. awrd), which
means A coming to, or arriving at, the water, whether one enters it
or not. In the Islamic context it refers to a set portion of the Qur'an,
or any other specific act of worship, which the worshipper commits
himself or herself to recite or perform, either at a particular time or
occasion or on a regular basis. In Sfism it is a practice of repeating
the Names of Allh, and a set of invocations assigned to the murd
(disciple) by his Shaykh (spiritual master). The term murd comes
from irdah, which means will, for the disciple should hand over
597
his will to the spiritual teacher so that he may discover himself. A
wird is a unit of dhikr constructed to contain in it certain patterns of
knowledge and self-awakening. The style and formulae of the awrd
vary greatly, but often include an asking of forgiveness (istighfr), a
prayer on the Prophet Muammad and the shahdah (declaration
of faith). Wird may be translated as litany, which comes from
ecclesiastical Latin litania, and refers to Christian prayers and
entreaties. Thus, the term wird is not translatable, and so we shall
retain its Arabic usage in most cases.
4
Adhkr is the plural of dhikr, an invocation of Allh that can be
rendered as "Remembrance of Allh. Dhikr, which forms part of the
wird, typically involves the repetition of the Names of Allh,
supplications taken from the Qurn and the adth. The Qurn
often speaks of dhikr as an act of worshipRemember Me, and I will
remember you (fadhkurn adhkurkum) [Srah Al-Baqarah (2),
Verse 152]. Since we cannot find a suitable English equivalent for
dhikr, we shall retain the Arabic usage in most cases.
5
Vigil, or spending the night in prayer
6
The Ftiah refers to the opening chapter of the Qurn, Srah al-
Ftiah, which is recited in the standing position of the alh, and
which may be preceded softly or audibly by the basmalah.
7
Ikhl (lit. sincerity, purity). That sincerity which is to
surrender to Allh, with all ones heart, and all ones mind, and all
ones soul. In Islam this is the affirmation of the Divine Unity. This
is accomplished virtually by the first shahdah, seeing that there
is no god but Allh.
8
In the context of the spirit being mentioned after the Angels, it
implies that it is Jibrl. In Srah al-Qadr the same sequence appears
The Angels and Jibrl (R) descend
9
The person repeats more or less 200 times, O Allh, and intends
with each repetition, that Allh will fulfill all his needs.
598
10
Cf. Qurn, [Srah Al-alq 65, Verse 3]: wa yarzuqhu min
aythu la yatasib [And He will supply him with the means of
subsistence whence he does not reckon,or expect].
11
Qutb literally means 'axis' or 'pole around which something
revolves'. In the nomenclature of the science of Taawwuf, it refers
to the title given to the one who has reached the highest level of
sainthood in his time.
12
Wajh al-Dn - this term in Arabic is literally translated as
Eminence of the Religion but in the Arab culture it is usually a
title given to a person whose name is Abdullh. The author here is
referring to his father Shaykh Abdullh bin Ab Bakr al-Aydars
also known as Al-Aydars al-Akbar.
13
The invocation of Imm al-Aydars referred to as Al-Dhikr al-
Aydarsiyyah. It comprises of reciting L ilha illallh 12000
times; Allh Allh 12000 times and Hu Hu (the Divine Pronoun)
12000 times; after every prayer obligatory prayer. It is usually given
by the Shaykh to the Murd at the beginning of his initiation into the
Spiritual Path. If it cannot be read daily 12000 times, then 1200
times each, and if not then 12 times after every obligatory prayer.
Shaykh Abdullh bin Ab Bakr al-Aydars mentioned that the
invocation of L ilha illallh is the key which unlocks the heart,
the invocation of Allh Allh is they key which unlocks the soul
and the invocation of Hu Hu is the key which unlocks the secret
(the innermost perceptive sense in a human being beyond the soul).
This line could also have the meaning of and the mention of
Aydars, the Qutb is most potent for removing the rust of the
heart. This would then refer to the softness of the heart that occurs
when one studies the biographies of these great Saints, or hears
about their lives and sacrifices, because it is then that the desire to
emulate them is sparked in the heart and that the hearts awaken from
its slumber. It has also been mentioned in some narrations that by
mentioning the pious, mercy descends.
599
14
Aff al-Dn: a title in Arabic given to someone with the name
Abdullh.
15
Kaml al-Dn: a title that was given to Shaykh Sad bin Ali al-
Madhaj, (see next note) Shaykh Sa`d bin `Ali B Madaj
16
Shaykh Sad was taken as a young child to live in the house of
Shaykh Abdurramn al-Saqqf. It is thus not surprising that he
subsequently became a master of the Sharah, the arqah and the
aqqah. He was known for his acts of worship and immense
etiquette with the Ahl al-Bayt. It was said of him and Imm
Abdullh al-Aydars, that they were so close to each other, that
they were one like one. He was the Shaykh of Imm Ab Bakr al-
Adan (who wrote this poem). He died in 857 Hijr (1453 CE).
17
Ab Bakr al-Adani, son of al-Aydars al-Akbar.
18
This line is not in the original poem but was added by Al abb
Ibrhm bin Umar bin Aql, who was the Muft of Taiz
19
Ma'iyya comes from ma'a which means with and therefore we
translated the term here as withness. There is an allusion here to
the concept of being with Allh and the Prophet in all states at
all times. See how the word is used in the Qurn in various verses,
eg. Allh is with the Patient, and other verses like it. Also when
ordering the believer to pray with the Prophet in the prayer of
fear; let them pray with you.
Finally as the author mentions, this is a subtle secret and is therefore
beyond understanding except for whom Allh has opened its
meaning. May Allh grant us understanding.
20
Sir translated as secret; in the classification of the Sfis it refers
to as the deepest perceptive sense of a human being, after the Ego,
Heart and Soul.
600
21
There is difference of opinion what it refers to. One opinion is
that bih or it here refers to the number five khamsa, referring to
the five persons through whom the author is entreating Allh to
accept his prayer. The five are the Ahl Kis and they are, the
Prophet , his family, his Companions, Ali, Fatimah, assan and
ussein . This is a line from another poem which many authors
use in their works. Another opinion is that it refers to the litany
itself or something secret between the the author and Allh .
22
The 8th form of the verb, akafa, means to seclude oneself in the
mosque, performing certain religious duties, fasting for a day or
more, and occupying oneself with religious devotions and
meditations, and not leaving your abode except for human necessity.
Itikf may therefore be defined as: withholding oneself from the
customary exercises of freedom of action in the disposal or
management of affairs, secluding oneself and being preoccupied
with religious devotions.
23
Literally, a powerful rope, but it refers to the divine covenant,
which is the means of access to Allh, via the Qurn, the Sunnah,
and endowed intelligence. According to al-Rghib al-Isfahni, it is
the means of access to a thing, and with reference to the verse:
wataim biablillhi (And hold fast to the covenant of Allh)
[Srah l-Imrn ( 3), Verse 103], it means to follow the Qurn
and abstain from schism, which are the means of obtaining
protection from Allh.
24
Literally: prayer, pl. alawt. The verb from which it is derived
is alla (to hallow); as an act of Allh, it is translated as to bless;
as an act of prayer it is translated as to pray. alh is the canonical
prayer as opposed to the supplication to Allh which is called du.
It consists of a series of movements and recitations, and is thus a
ritual or an act of worship, in contrast to the supplication that is
associated with prayer in the West.
601
25
The repetition of this should be increased after the Fajr and
Maghrib prayer, and preceded by wal awla wala quwata ill billh
al-aliyy al-am.
26
alt al-Fajr, also alt a-ub, morning prayer, two rakat, out
loud. Its time is between the moment of dawning when a a thread
of light appears on the horizon, until the actual rising of the sun (al-
shurq).
27
alt al-Maghrib, or sunset prayer, three rakat the first two
rakat are out loud, the third silent. The prayer may be performed
any time during the period of approximately twenty minutes starting
four minutes after the setting of the sun below the horizon until the
last red glow (shafaq) in the sky.
28
This is the 36th Srah in the Qurn. Otherwise Ysn is among
the 'Cryptic Letters' and the real meaning of which is with Allh
alone. Everything has a heart, and the heart of Qurn is Srah Ysn.
29
Yay bin Sharaf al-Nawaw (d. 676 A.H/1278 C.E) was a Shfii
in jurisprudence, an
Ashari in theology, and famous for his Arbain adthan (forty
adth), of which he has also written a commentary.
30
alt al-uhr, the noonday prayer, four rakat, silent.
31
Srah 56.
32
The term means a party, but in this context it signifies a wird. In
Edward Lanes Arabic-English Lexicon, it states: A set portion of the
Qurn and of prayer, of which a man imposes upon himself the
recital on a particular occasion, or at a particular time. In Arabic
you say: qaraa izbuh minal Qurn (He recited his set portion of
the Qurn).
602
33
The izb al-Bar, composed by Imm al-Shdhil, uses passages
from the Qurn. Its recital is famous for saving Damascus from
conquest by the enemy. Its power resides in the Arabic litany. The
groups of letters are the mysterious isolated letters which stand
before 29 srahs. Seven consecutive srahs begin with the letters,
and these, together with other letters, are called the awamim.
34
Ab al-asan Ali bin Abdullh (d. 656 A.H/1258 C.E), called
Imm al-Shdhil, as the founder of the Shdhiliyyah fi order,
which also includes the Darqawiyyah and the Alawiyyah. He left no
writings, except for a half-dozen litanies such as izb al-Bar
(Litany of the Sea), izb al-Barr (Litany of the earth), and izb al-
Nar (Litany of Help). The essence of his teaching is masterfully
contained in the Kitb al-ikam (Book of Aphorisms) of Ibn Ata
Allh (d. 709 A.H/1309 C.E)
35
Al-Stirah: literally means cover, but in this context it means
that these delusions and conjectures prevent the hearts from
apprehending the Unseen realities.
36
Cf. Qurn, [Srah al-d (38), Verses 18 and 36].
37
Cf. [Srah Al-Muminn (23), Verse 88].
38
The Islamic community as identified by its law, religion, group
consciousness, ethic and mores.
39
Wa kabatul munqalib: literally: from the being in an evil state
in respect of the returning from my journeying, to my home (See
Edward Lane).
40
Then he recites what is easy from the Qurn, and guides him to
the spirits of the dead and the living, and our master Imm Amad
bin al-asan al-Aas al-Alaw, who died in Huraydah in
aramawt 1334 Hijri, used to encourage this and said: Verily,
603
these pious actions are written on the pages of the living ,and a
mercy for the dead, and it is the best for them of all gifts.
41
yat al-Kurs (lit. the Verse of the Footstool). A single Verse of
the Qurn [Srah Al-Baqarah (2), Verse 255] of more than average
length, it is one of the principle verses of refuge and protection,
known as yat al-if: It is recited in Arabic as a means of
entrusting ones self to Allhs care, and is often written on amulets.
42
Al-Batul: refers in this context to Fimah al-Zahrah; the mother of
asan and usayn.
43
Murta; refers to Sayyidina Ali bin Ab lib (may Allh be
pleased with him).
