RATIBUL HADDAAD

INTRODUCTION

We thank the Almighty Allah for the honour and privilege of completing
this noble project. It is solely through His Mercy that this booklet and the
accompanying audio have come to fruition. We implore Him to open the
minds and hearts of all its readers and listeners to its profound meaning
and beauty.

COVID PANDEMIC

The Ratibul Haddaad has been a spiritual pillar of Cape Muslims for a
long time, providing support and contentment during various trials that
this unique community has endured. The Covid pandemic is
but the latest of these trials, testing our community
with severe loss and illness, for which we say
Alghamdulillah, as we realise how limited our
knowledge is of this world.

The purpose of this booklet and its accom­


panying audio is to make available to Muslims
this spiritual tradition that will assist them in
these difficult times, Insha-Allah. Many have
lost loved ones, means of sustenance or suffered
the debilitating effects of the virus, placing them in a
challenging psychological and emotional space. The recitation of the
Ratibul Haddaad is a spiritual balm that will assist in the healing process.
Pondering over its profound meaning will take the reciter closer to our
Creator.

INTRODUCTION
TRIBUTE TO PIONEERS

We pay tribute to our pioneers, who arrived here in chains in an atmosphere


of aggressive colonial Islamophobia, distant from their homelands and
beloved ones. Their tenacity, taqwa and truth to power are legacies we
must treasure, along with the cultural traditions like the Ratibul Haddaad
they established which placed barakah in their lives. Not only did some
of them introduce these athkaar to the local community, but others left
behind beautiful handwritten copies that are still in pristine condition.

We also pay tribute to the many historians, past and present, who have
spent countless hours researching our rich cultural history, for our history
needs to be documented by ourselves, lest others do our narrative a
disservice. As for the Ratibul Haddaad, we have no certainty as to who or
when it was first brought to the Cape. While our historians have advanced
many plausible theories, at this stage it represents speculation lacking
scientific evidence. Nevertheless, we would like to record our profound
appreciation to Dr Eshaam Palmer for his two articles, especially in
formulating the state of our knowledge about the Ratibul Haddaad
in 2021.

The Ratibul Haddaad is an oral tradition, and


to that end an audio link to the booklet is
essential. We have striven to strike a
balance between traditional laagu
and proper tajweed, with
our chosen group,

IMAM AL-HADDAAD

A PROFILE OF IMÃM AL-HADDAAD

In the south of Yemen lies the Hadramawt


Valley, deprived of water and other
essential resources, thus leaving crops
struggling to survive. The land is rugged
and harsh and offers no luxuries. However,
it was a centre of learning and scholarship
and is home to many descendants of the
Prophet (SAW). This land also never had
peace as rival tribes were constantly at
war with each other. The Shi’a Zaydis of
north Yemen on numerous occasions invaded the Hadramawt Valley.

IMAM AL-HADDAAD

SMALLPOX BLINDNESS

Imãm Abdallah al-Haddaad was born into this environment, 387 years ago,
in the town of Tarīm. At 3 years old he became blind as a result of a smallpox
infection. At a young age he spent his time in devotion being scrupulous
in everything he undertook. In his teens he slept little and performed all the
fard prayers in the mosque. After Fajr he would perform the four raka’ats
of Ishrãq and the eight raka’ats of Duhã, and after Maghrib
he performed 20 raka’ats salaat al awwabīn. After Isha
he continued with dhikr before retiring to his
quarters. The Imãm was tall, fair skinned
and always smiled.

During his lifetime he studied under the


guidance of over 100 scholars, of whom
his main teachers were Sayyid Umr al-
Attãs and Sayyid Muhammad ibn Alawi,
while his closest friend and companion was Sayyid al-
Aydarus. His students used to read to him the works of
the great scholars like Imam Ghazali and Imam Suyuti,
and notwithstanding his handicap, he authored a number of important
books containing material that is still relevant. Among these were The
Lives of Man, Counsels of Religion and the Book of Assistance, as well as
a number of poems and litanies (a form of dhikr), including the Ratibul
Haddaad.

MUJADDID

His lectures and talks were attended by audiences of hundreds of


people who came from all over Yemen to enlighten themselves with his
intellectual and spiritual presence. After practising tasawwuf most of his
life, he became accepted as the Mujaddid of his age and the Qutb of Sufi
Orders. The Imam’s choice of mathhab was that of Imam Shafi’i.
13 THE RATIBUL HADDAAD

IMAM AL-HADDAAD

His lectures were important for the practice of Islam as during that age
many people reluctantly implemented Islamic principles. During his
lectures he was very patient and courteous and answered all questions
even if they did not warrant much attention. Such kind and generous
behaviour endeared him to his followers and students. However, he never
neglected his family and always set aside time for them, separating his
private and public lives.

He had 10 children, six boys and four girls, and it was his fourth eldest
son, al-Hassan, who spent a lot of time in the company of the Imãm,
and who ultimately became his successor in the Ba’Alawiyya Sufi Order.
His other sons became scholars in their own right. At the age of 35, the
Imãm performed his first and only Hajj, and entered Makka on a donkey.
He stayed in Makka and Madina for a year, meeting with many scholars
and people wishing to be in his company. By this time the fame of the
Imãm had spread far and wide in the Islamic world.

The Imãm taught that people are driven by their passions and appetites,
which are the first obstacles they must overcome in order to come closer
to Allah. People must acknowledge that everything comes from Allah
and must follow the Sunnah of the Prophet (SAW) as much as possible.
People must fear Allah and hope for His Mercy, then they will not fear the
future or a reduction of their rizq. The Imãm was averse to publicity and
materialism, and loved solitude.

NINE STATIONS OF CERTAINTY

He taught that the highest level of a Sufi is love and contentment, and
that second only to Allah, people must love the Prophet (SAW) more
than their parents or children. The Imãm propagated nine stations of
certainty: patience in times of difficulty, gratitude for everything received,
detachment from materialism, reliance only on Allah; love of Allah, the
Prophet (SAW), your parents and all Allah’s creations; and contentment
THIKR GUIDE COLLECTION 14

IMAM AL-HADDAAD

with your condition in life, whether good


or bad.

He commenced each day by


reciting the fatiha thrice for:
1) the general welfare of all
Muslims; 2) his deceased
ancestors and teachers; and
3) the fulfilment of his needs
and those around him. The
Imãm strongly discouraged
speaking between the athãn and
commencement of the salãh as it was
a time for preparation and concentration.
He regularly embarked on a three-day journey to visit the tomb of Nabi
Hud (AS) for purposes of meditation and introspection.

The Imãm annually read the Mawlid of the Prophet (SAW) during 12 and
14 Sha’bãn. As part of his practise of tasawwuf he performed the hadra as a
means of gathering people to remember Allah. His main place of residence
was a cottage annexed to the Masjid al-Hawi in Tarīm. During his lifetime,
he gave away all his wealth to the needy and lived a very simple life. He told
a story of a chameleon that came to his door and he stopped his followers
from brushing it away. When asked why he entertained the chameleon, he
answered that the chameleon had a complaint that a jinn was causing him
problems and he resolved the issue between them.

ATTAINING A PURE HEART

The Imãm stated that of the main aims of Sufism are to discard bad
qualities, like lying and boasting – and attain praiseworthy ones, like
kindness and honesty so that they could meet Allah with a pure heart. He
taught that the more one was attached to materialism, the more one’s
15 THE RATIBUL HADDAAD

IMAM AL-HADDAAD

spirituality diminished. When he gave advice or presented lectures he


spoke to the audience at their level of understanding.

At the age of 88, the Imãm developed a lump in his stomach and was cared
for daily by his son al-Hassan. He told his companions not to visit him, but
to pray for him. In his last six days he lay in prayer and meditation until
he passed away peacefully. As he breathed his last, al-Hassan saw a light
emanate from his body. There were so many people following the Imãm’s
may’yit that the journey to
the burial place lasted from
Asr to Maghrib. Although
he was blind since a young
age he made a significant
impact globally by way of
his lectures and literary
works. In Cape Town he
is fondly remembered
as the originator of the
Ratibul Haddaad.

RATIBUL HADDAAD

HISTORY & EVOLUTION

HISTORY AND EVOLUTION OF THE RÃTIBUL HADDAAD AT THE CAPE

The originator and author of the Rãtibul Haddaad, Imam Abdullah al-
Haddãd was born into a very pious family and despite losing his sight
at 3 years old, he authored a number of books which, in addition to his
lectures, made a global impact on the spread of Islam. It was as if Allah
the Merciful replaced his physical sight with spiritual insight. The Muslim
world at that time was experiencing incessant political turmoil, with both
internal and external adversaries that led to great instability in the region.
However, this did not distract the Imam from his chosen ascetic path and
his intensive spiritual training started early and endured till his death at
the age of 88 years old. The Imam was the Qutb of the Bã’Alawiyyah Sufi
Order (tariqa) and is a descendant of the Prophet (SAW).

SPREAD OF ISLAM

The Rãtibul Haddaad is one of a number of litanies and poems that he


composed and is a form of dhikr. The da’wah spread by the Imam and his
descendants was one of the main reasons for the rapid spread of Islam in
countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei and southern India. The Rãtibul
Haddaad came to the Imam by inspiration, and during a period when he
was at the pinnacle of his intellectual and spiritual capability.

The Rãtibul Haddaad was inaugurated whilst the Imam was on Hajj and
soon it reached the shores of many countries. The Imam said that reciting
the Rãtibul Haddaad was good for protection of a town or city and where
people have a special request for their Creator.
THIKR GUIDE COLLECTION 18

HISTORY & EVOLUTION

PREAMBLE

The Rãtibul Haddaad is usually preceded by a preamble consisting of


Sūrah Yãsīn, Sūrah al-Mulk and the Asmã ul Husnã and there­after
commences with:
Sūrah al-Fãtiha
It is reported that the Prophet (SAW) stated that Sūrah al-Fãtiha, which
has seven oft-repeated verses is the greatest Surah in the Quran.
Ãyãt al-Kursī
The Prophet (SAW) said in a hadith that Muslims who recite Ãyãt al-Kursī
when they go to bed, Allah will appoint a guard who will protect them all
night long.
Sūrah al-Baqara (last two verses)
It is reported that the Prophet (SAW) said that if someone recites the last
two verses of Sūrah al-Baqara at night, it will be sufficient for them.

There are about 25 clearly discernible segments, including supplications


like: O Allah! Grant us excellent steadfastness; reliance on You alone;
grant us wisdom and beneficial knowledge; and bless us O Allah with
lawful and wholesome sustenance, without any hardship or difficulty. O
Most Generous and Bountiful grant us a good ending, without any trials
or tribulations.

The Rãtibul Haddaad has been discussed and translated into English by
a number of South African Muslim scholars, including Shaykhs Abdullah
Abduraouf, Ismail Ganief, Taha Gamieldien (handwritten version) and
Amien Fakier. The latest publication was by Professor Ghoesain Mohamed,
who sadly passed on recently.

SHEIKH YUSUF

Although there is no tangible evidence to conclusively prove the origin


of the Rãtibul Haddaad in the Cape, a number of historians hold the view
19 THE RATIBUL HADDAAD

HISTORY & EVOLUTION

that it was introduced by Shaykh Yusuf of Macassar. Shaykh Yusuf, an


Indonesian of noble descent was exiled to the Cape in 1693, and although
he was not the first Muslim to arrive at the Cape, he is generally known to
have established Islam at the Cape. The reason for his exile was that he
led military forces against the Dutch colonisers. Shaykh Yusuf departed for
Makka in 1644 and remained there for about 20 years studying under the
guidance of many learned scholars.
It is believed by some that Shaykh
Yusuf met Imam al-Haddãd and
learnt the Rãtibul Haddaad directly
from him, although historical
records indicate that the Imam
performed Hajj in 1669 and thus it
would not have been possible for
them to have met during 1669.

The attempt by the Dutch to isolate


Shaykh Yusuf by establishing him
at the farm “Zandvliet” did not
https://openlibrary.org/books/OL17872984M/South_Africa

succeed as the Shaykh’s residence turned out to be the rallying point for
“fugitive” slaves and other exiles. It was here that the first cohesive Muslim
community in South Africa was established. Since the Shaykh hailed from
Macassar, the area around Zandvliet farm is today known as Macassar.

There was a Dutch law (placaaten) in place at the Cape which pro­hibited
the practising of any religion other than that propagated by the Dutch
Reformed Church. The penalties for propagating Islam were severe,
like stretching on the rack, cutting off one or more of the limbs or being
hanged. The slaves were regularly subjected to torture and inhuman
treatment as they were seen as the property of their masters. However,
Shaykh Yusuf was treated with dignity due to his royal origin and was thus
able to conduct lessons in Islam to fugitive slaves and free Blacks in secret.
THIKR GUIDE COLLECTION 20

HISTORY & EVOLUTION

ORIGIN OF LAAGU
As it was unlawful to propagate Islam, Shaykh Yusuf added a tune (laagu)
to the recital of the Rãtibul Haddaad in order to bypass the prohibition
of propagating Islam. Singing was common amongst the slaves and thus
they could recite the Rãtibul Haddaad with laagu, thus duping the Dutch
authorities and soldiers into thinking that they were merely singing.
Despite Islam being forbidden, many runaway slaves and indigenous
people embraced Islam under the tutelage of Shaykh Yusuf.

SAYYID ALAWI
Other historians are of the view that
it was Sayyid Alawi that introduced
the Rãtibul Haddaad at the Cape.
He was from Mocca in Yemen and
arrived at the Cape in 1774. He was
banished by the Dutch to the Cape to be kept in chains for the rest of his
life. The Dutch authorities referred to him as a Mohammedan Priest. He
remained in chains on Robben Island for 11 years and on his release he
went to Cape Town. He was known for his active da’wah amongst the
slaves at the Slave Lodge and later became a policeman, which gave him
unfettered access to the Slave Lodge. He is generally regarded as the first
“official” imam at the Cape and is buried at the Tana Baru cemetery.
It seems more likely that Sayyid Alawi introduced the Rãtibul Haddaad
at the Cape as he was of the same tariqa as Imam al-Haddãd, namely the
Ba’Alawiyya tariqa. Shaykh Yusuf was of the Khalwatiyya tariqa and it
would be unusual for a member of
one tariqa to propagate a litany of
another tariqa.

SLAVERY AND SINGING


Music and singing was common to
slaves globally as a way to express
21 THE RATIBUL HADDAAD

HISTORY & EVOLUTION

their sorrow or joy, for example African slaves in the USA and Europe
regularly sang gospel songs. Most of the early Muslim pioneers were
affiliated to a Sufi tariqa where it is common to recite dhikr with a laagu.
Thus it is not unusual for the Rãtibul Haddaad to have been recited with a
laagu. The Rãtibul Haddaad can be recited individually or in a group, with
or without a laagu. This practise of reciting the Rãtibul Haddaad continued
through the colonial and Apartheid eras until democracy arrived, a period
of over 300 years. When religious freedom was granted in 1804 and
slavery was abolished in 1838,
the number of Muslims rose
dramatically and in 1842 they
formed more than two thirds
of the Cape population. The
spread of Islam was rapid due
to the many pious and brave
Orang Cayen (Muslim political
exiles) like Shaykh Yusuf, Tuan
Guru and Sayyid Alawie.

From the early 1800s this practice became known as a gadat, which was
usually recited at a merang on the 7th, 40th and 100th days after the
occurrence of a death. The gadat was a communal occasion accompanied
by special food and also allowed for participation by children.

The recital of the Rãtibul Haddaad aligns us with everything that is


contained in the universe, which in its most basic form, the atom, is in a
constant state of dhikrullah. Dhikr can heal the illnesses of the heart and
the body and ultimately enable us to receive the Divine Message. Allah
says in Surah al-Ra’d: Those who believe, and whose hearts find satisfaction
in the remembrance of Allah; for without doubt, in the remembrance of
Allah do hearts find satisfaction. (urah 13, verse 28)

HISTORY & EVOLUTION

BARAKAT
In later years the gadat was performed on a Thursday evening and
on Sundays; however, the occurrence has dwindled to mainly being
performed on a Thursday evening. There was a variety of dishes served at
the gadats, including boeber, gadat melk, and melktert. A barakat (take
home cake) was given to the team performing the gadat and often to those
people attending as well.

For a number of reasons, including television, social media, the breaking


up of Muslim communities during the Apartheid era, growth of wealth and
materialism amongst the Muslim population; gadats are not conducted
as frequently as in the earlier days. Mostly older men attend gadats with
most younger men being occupied with their social and secular activities.
It is essential that the practice of gadats and other religious rituals like
maulood, commemorating mi’araj and ru’a continues as it is a determining
factor of the Cape Muslim culture and forms part of its identity. It is a
critical part of the transformation of Muslims from being slaves to where
they are today and keeps the level of spirituality from being relegated to
the sidelines.

However, there are favourable signs of a wider attachment to gadats in


the Cape Flats areas where violence and gang activities occur unabated.
For the past three years, a team of Muslim clerics has been on a mission to
bring peace to Manenberg and other areas of Cape Town.

Some Thursday evenings, an open-air abridged version of the gadat is


recited and is attended by up to 200 people. Food is served after the
ritual recital as the areas are mostly impoverished. We make dua that
Allah Almighty must bless their noble efforts and that the barakah of
the Ratibul Haddaad will bring peace, protection and provision for these
needy communities, Insha-Allah.

Du’ahs for the sick

1. Du’ah to heal the area of pain


It is narrated that Aisha (RA). said that when anyone among them had
an illness, the Prophet (s.a.w) used to rub the area of the pain and recite

ْ َ َ ْ َْ
the following du’ah for protection:

َ‫ َأنْت‬،‫اش ِف‬‫ و‬،‫ِب الأس‬ ‫ه‬


َْ
‫ذ‬ ‫أ‬ ، ِ

Allahumma Rabbannaas, athhibil ba’s, washfi antash-Shaafi laa

“O Allah, Lord of mankind, do away with my suffering. Heal (me)
as You are the only Healer and there is no cure except that of
Yours, it is that which leaves no ailment behind” (Al-Bukhari)

2. Du’ah for pain relief


Uthman Ibn Abi Al-’As (RA) reported: I complained to the Messenger
of Allah (s.a.w) about a pain I had in my body. The Messenger of
Allah (s.a.w) said, “Place your hand where you feel pain and say:

ّٰ
x3 »ِ‫«ب«ب ِ ْس ِم الل‬
(Bismillah)
(In the Name of Allah)’ three times;
and then repeat seven times:

Du’ahs for the sick

3. Du’ah of Prophet Ayyub AS


Prophet Ayyub (RA) was blessed with abundant wealth, land and
children. He was then tested by having all of those, including his health,
taken away from him. All his limbs were not free from disease except for
his tongue and heart which he used to remember
Allah (SWT).
People cut ties with him due to his illness and he was expelled from
the city with only his wife who was there to support him.
Prophet Ayyub (RA) remained patient and grateful despite his situation.
He sought help from Allah by reciting the du’ah in
Surah Al-Anbiyaa’ (21:83). The following du’ah is an excerpt
from the verse:

َ‫اح ِْي‬ َ ْ َ َ ْ َ َ ُّ ُّ َّ َ َّ َّ
َ ّ ُ َ
ِ ‫ر ِب أ ِن مس ِن الض وأنت أرحم الر‬
Rabbi annee massani yatthurru wa anta arhamurraa himeen
My Lord. Indeed, adversity has touched me, and you are the
Most Merciful of the merciful.

4. Du’ah for a person who is very sick


Aisha (RA) reported that: Whenever Allah’s Messenger (s.a.w) became
sick, he would recite the Mu’awwidhatayn (Surah Al-Falaq and Surah
An-Nas) and then blow his breath over his body. When he became
seriously ill, I (Aisha RA) used to recite (these two Surahs) and rub his
hands over his body hoping for its blessings.

In a hadith, Rasulullah s.a.w. said: “Whoever among you suffers some
sickness, or his brother suffers some sickness, let him say:

6. Du’ah when visiting the sick


In this COVID-19 period, we are not encouraged to come into close
contact with those who are ill as there is a possibility of carrying the
virus and spreading it to other people. However, we may still recite this
prayer from a safe distance.
The Prophet (s.a.w). said: “He who visits a sick person who is not on the
point of death and supplicates seven times:
