PREFACE
It has thus always been the concern of the Ambiyā ‘alayhimus salām
and the pious predecessors that their descendants remain firm upon
the Pure Dīn. Alhamdulillāh, with that desire in mind, this slave has
made an effort in that direction. This book is a result of that. May
Allāh Most Pure, accept it and make it a means of success in both
worlds for this slave and the compiler Nu’mān; and especially for
those who assist the Jāmi’ and those who read and practise upon
this book. May Allāh admit us all into Jannatul Firdaws.

“Verily Allāh has 99 Names. He who memorises them will enter
Jannah, Allāh is an odd number and loves odd numbers, He will also
fulfil all that person’s needs.”

3. Recite the entire Sūratul Fātihah, Āyatul Kursī and the āyāt
below once. Whoever recites these after every Salāh, Allāh will
forgive all his sins, grant him a great place in Jannah called,
“Hazhīrayul Quds,” shower him in His mercy seventy times and filfill
seventy of his needs, the least of which is forgiveness. In addition,
the āyah Shahidallāh… is a proven remedy for ailments of the joints.

* Recite the Fourth Kalimah 10 times after each Salāh for ten
rewards, forgiveness of ten sins and rising of ten ranks.
[Kitābul Azkār, Fadāiluz Zikr]
For the ease of beginners on the spiritual path, my father advises, 33
times Subhānallāh, 33 times Alhamdulillāh, 34 times Allāhu Akbar,
thrice Salāt ‘alān Nabī, thrice istighfār, thrice Kalimah Tayyibah and
once Āyatul Kursī.
*For Reciting the fourth Kalimah once in the market one receives
10,000 rewards, one’s rank is raised by 10,000 and Allāh prepares a
magnificent palace in Jannah.

Masnūn Qurānic passages after Salāh
For Reciting Sūrah Alif Lām Mīm Sajdah & Sūratul Mulk [after

virtues and 70 evils are removed.
[at-Tirmizī, Ahmad, ad-Dārmī, Hākim, Ibn Mardawīyah – narration Ibn ‘Umar]
After completing the Sūrahs, it is recommended to recite the
following du‘ā. Ask whatever other du‘ā you wish.

Ishrāq
Rasūlullāh said, “He who peforms Fajr with Jamā‘āh then sits
engaged in Zikrullāh until after sunrise and then performs two rak‘āt
receives the reward of a Hajj and ‘Umrah.”
[at-Tirmizī, Abush Shaykh, al-Hisn al-Hasīn – narration of Anas ]
If for some necessity you have to leave the Masjid, perform the two
rak‘āt after sunrise. It will not be bereft of reward.
Duhā (Chāst)
A Hadīth Qudsī narrates Allāh as saying, “O Sons of Ādam! Perform
four Rak‘āt for My sake in the beginning of the day, I shall suffice you
until the end of the day,” (ease all your difficulties).
[Ahmad, at-Tirmizī, an-Nasāī, al-Mishkāt – narration of Anas and Abud Dardā ]
Rasūlullāh said, “Charity is obligatory on each joint of the body.
Two rak‘āt of Duhā suffices for this.”
[Muslim, Abū Dāwūd, an-Nasāī, ad-Dāramī, Ahmad, al-Mishkāt, Ibn Hibbān - narration of
Abū Zarr and Buraydah ]
Rasūlullāh said that Jannah has a gate called, “ad-Duhā.”
Whoever is punctual with this Salāh will enter through this gate.
[at-Tabrānī, Ibn ‘Asākir – narration of Abū Hurayrah and Anas ]
Rasūlullāh said that he who is regular with this Salāh will have all
his sins forgiven even if they are as numerous as the foam of the
sea.
[Ahmad, at-Tirmizī, Ibn Shāhīn – narration of Abū Hurayrah ]
Duhā consists of 2-12 Rak‘āt
Awwābīn
Rasūlullāh said that he who performs six Rak‘āt after Maghrib,
receives the reward of 12 years of ‘Ibādah. This is on condition that
he neither commits any evil nor utters any useless speech in
between.
[Ibn Khuzaymah, al-Bayhaqī, Ma‘āriful Hadīth – narration of Abū Hurayrah ]
If one cannot perform six, perform four or at least two.
28
To gain additional closeness to Allāh, one may institute multiple
intentions during nafl Salāh. Therefore add these intentions in at the
least the last two Rak‘āt of your nafl.
1. Salātut Tawbah – repent of all minor and major sins.
2. Salātul Hājah – for your current and future needs and that of
all friends, family, beloved ones and Muslims
3. Salātush Shukr – gratitude for all bounties, those we are
aware of and those we are not.
4. Salātul Istikhārah – seeking goodness in all one’s work for
the day. If you recite the du‘ā, replace Vا ان هذاwith
ٍ ْي َا
ّ اAyy amrin.
Salātul Hājah (Need)
Rasūlullāh said: When you have any need from Allāh or any
person, perform wudū well. Perform two Rak‘āt. After Sālam praise
Allāh and convey salutations upon me. Then recite

Thereafter beg Allāh with full humility for your need.
Salātut Tasbīh
Rasūlullāh taught this special Salāh to his paternal uncle, al-
‘Abbās and said, “If you do this Allāh will forgive all your sins, be
they past or future, old or new, unintended or deliberate, minor or
major.”
[at-Tirmizī, Abū Dāwūd, an-Nasāī, Ibn Mājah, Ibn Khuzaymah, Hākim, at-Tabrānī, Ibn

, Ibn ‘Umar and Abū Rāfi‘ ]
There is no stipulated time for this Salāh. However, it is better if is
performed after Zawāl of Yawmul Jumu‘ah, before the Khutbah.
Method:
Make your intention of 4 Rak‘āt Salāh. Recite 75 times in each
Rak‘āh

In the first Rak‘āt after the thanā, Fātihah and Qirāah, recite it 15
times. Thereafter 10 times each as follows. 10 times during rukū‘
after the Masnūn recitation. 10 times in qawmah (standing after
ruku‘). 10 times in each Sajdah after the Masnūn recitation. 10 times
whilst sitting between the two Sajdahs. After the second Sajdah sit
and recite 10 times. [The 75 are now completed]. Thereafter arise for
the second Rak‘ah without repeating Allāhu Akbar. Complete 75 in
each Rak‘āh the same way. In the second and fourth Rak‘āt recite 10
times whilst sitting after the second Sajdah then recite at-Tahīyāt.
[Abū Dāwūd, Ibn Mājah, al-Bayhaqī, al-Hisn al-Hasīn, Ma‘āriful Hadīth
– narration of Ibn al-‘Abbās ]
This deed should be done for seven nights (before Jumu‘āh) without
losing any week in between. The best is if one can recite these
Sūrahs in Salāh as described. If one cannot recite from memory,
recite the four Sūrahs from the Qurān as described, between
Maghrib and ‘Ishā.
Sajdah is wājib upon one who has recited a Sajdah Āyah, even if
he is deaf. It is also wājib on one who has heard someone else’s
recitation.
[at-Tahtāwī, al-Bahrur Rāiq, I‘lāus Sunan]
If one merely writes or looks at the āyah and does not utter it,
Sajdah is not wājib.
[at-Tahtāwī, al-Bahrur Rāiq, Munājāt Maqbūl]
O Allāh! We place You upon their necks and seek Your protection
against their evils.

Āyāt of cure
Abul Qāsim al-Qushyarī narrates that his child became so ill that he
feared that the child was going to die. He saw Rasūlullāh in a
dream and explained his child’s condition to him. Rasūlullāh asked
him why he did not practise reciting the āyāt of cure and seek cure
through them. He searched through the Qurān, and found six āyāt of
cure. He wrote them on and then dissolved them in water. When the
child drank the water it was immediately cured.

Manzil
Ubayy bin Ka‘b narrates that a Bedouin came to Rasūlullāh and
said that his brother was experiencing difficulty. When Rasūlullāh
asked what the difficulty was, he replied that it was some kind of
insanity. Rasūlullāh instructed the Bedouin to bring his brother to
him. He did this and Rasūlullāh recited the below āyāt and blew on
him. The man was cured as if he had never been ill.

intercedeth with Him save by His leave? He knows that which is in
front of them and that which is behind them, while they encompass
nothing of His knowledge save what He will. His throne extends over
the heavens and the earth, and He is never weary of preserving
them. He is the Sublime, the Tremendous. There is no compulsion
in religion. The right direction is henceforth distinct from error. And
he who rejects false deities and believes in Allah has grasped a firm
handhold which will never break. Allah is Hearer, Knower. Allah is
the Protecting Friend of those who believe. He brings them out of
darkness into light. As for those who disbelieve, their patrons are
false deities. They bring them out of light into darkness. Such are
rightful owners of the Fire. They will abide therein forever.

of Allah is (always) near to those who do good.

Deemed you then that We had created you for naught, and that you
would not be returned unto Us? Now Allah be exalted, the True King!
There is no god save Him, the Rabb of the Noble Throne. He who
cries unto any other god along with Allah has no proof thereof. His
reckoning is only with his Rabb. Lo! disbelievers will not be
successful. And say: My Rabb! Forgive and have mercy, for You are
best of all who show mercy.

This Manzil is a tried and tested formula against evil Jinn, magic and
certain other perils. These same āyāt, with some more or less, are
found in Baheshtī Zehwar of Mawlānā Thānwī. al-Qawl al-Jamīl of
Shāh Walīullāh Muhaddith Dehlawī, states, “These are 33 āyāt which
repel magic and devils and protects against thieves and beasts.
Bahesgtī Zewar states, “If someone is suspected of being afflicted
60
with evil Jinn, write these āyāt and hang it around his neck. Recite
them and blow in water which you should sprinkle over him. If there
is evil effects on the house, recite the āyāt over water, blow on it, and
sprinkle in the four corners of the house.”
Shāh ‘Abdul ‘Azīz Muhaddith Dehlawī wrote that one should write the
last āyah of each Sūrah and hang this as a ta‘wīz around the neck.
This offers protection against magic and all evil effects.

If any dog, lion or other beast growls or shows aggressive intent
on the road, recite:

Qitmīr yusallimu ‘alayk
Qitmīr converys salām to you.
Qitmīr was the dog of the Companions of the Cave and will be an
animal of Jannah.
[Ibn Abī Hātim, Ibn Mardawīyah, Ibnul Munzir – narration or Ibn ‘Abbās ]
If you experienced a nightmare, spit lightly to the left and change
the side you were sleeping on. [al-Bukhārī, Muslim]
Thereafter recite thrice: A ‘ūzu billāhi minsh Shaytānir rajīm
[al-Bukhārī, Muslim, at-Tirmizī, Abū Dāwūd, Ibn Mājah, an-Nasāī
– narration of Abū Hurayrah ]
The seriousness of illicit glances lies in the fact that while one initially
consoles oneself that one did not engage in other sins, it creates a
fire leading to other sins. The friends of Allāh experience a strange
discomfort when in the presence of people who engage in this sin.
For example, ‘Uthmān once complained, “People commit zinā with
their eyes and then come to my gathering!”
[Zimmul Hawā Zimmuz Zinā of Ibn Abid Dunyā, Khutubāt Hakīmil Ummah]
Islām places great emphasis on the purity of both heart and eyes.
Mawlānā Thānwī quoted the poem of al-‘Allāmah Iqbāl in this regard:
Wisdom says that you have also been give Lā ilāha but what has
been achieved?
When the heart and eyes are not Muslim then there is nothing.
Hajj is the the fifth and final Pillar of Islām. It is Fard once in a lifetime
upon a Muslim who can afford it. Rasūlullāh said, “Hajj is ‘Arafah.”
[Ahmad, Hākim, Abū Dāwūd, an-Nasāī, ad-Dāramī, at-Tirmizī
– narration of ‘Abdullāh bin al- ‘Abbās ]
The staying at ‘Arafāh is thus the greatest part of Hajj. He who has
the good fortune to perform it should use every moment there in
humbly supplicating before Allāh. Rasūlullāh has taught us to
recite the following du‘ā at ‘Arafāh, on the Day of ‘Arafāh, after
Zawāl, facing Qiblah. Recite each of the following 100 times:
