The bestselling collection of
daily adhkar (invocations) compiled by Imam Al-Haddad. For each prayer the
original Arabic text, English translation, transliteration, and commentary are
provided.
The CD is read and performed
by Ahbab Almustafa.
Imam Al-Ghazali (may God's
mercy be on him) wrote in his book The Beginning of Guidance:
You should not neglect your
time or use it haphazardly; on the contrary you should bring yourself to
account, structure your litanies and other practices during each day and night,
and assign to each period a fixed and specific function. This is how to bring
out the spiritual blessing (baraka) in each period. But if you leave yourself
adrift, aimlessly wandering as cattle do, not knowing how to occupy yourself at
every moment, your time will be lost. It is nothing other than your life, and
your life is the capital that you make use of to reach perpetual felicity in the
proximity of God the Exalted. Each of your breaths is a priceless jewel, since
each of them is irreplaceable and, once gone, can never be retrieved. Do not be
like the deceived fools who are joyous because each day their wealth increases
while their life shortens. What good is an increase in wealth when life grows
ever shorter? Therefore be joyous only for an increase in knowledge or in good
works, for they are your two companions who will accompany you in your grave
when your family, wealth, children and friends stay behind.
