Description
Composed in the 15th century by the Moroccan Sufi scholar, Muhammad Sulaymān al-Jazūlī al-Shādhilī, Dalāʾil al-Khayrāt was the first major work to compile litanies of peace and blessings for the Prophet Muhammad. Among some spiritual orders, most notably the Jazuli branch of the Shadhili order, its recitation has endured as a daily practice for over five centuries.
Al-Jazūlī was inspired to pen the book after seeing a girl miraculously cause a well to overflow. When he questioned her, she revealed that the secret behind her spiritual prowess is constantly invoking blessings and peace on the best of creation, Prophet Muhammad.
Join Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi for this spiritual event to celebrate the acclaimed Dalāʾil al-Khayrāt and the launch of its new translation, Guides to Goodness. The event will open with a rendition from the Musafirun singers.
