INTRODUCTION


The Khulāṣah compiled by Ḥabīb ‛Umar bin Muḥammad
bin Sālim bin Ḥafīẓ is a distinctive collation of Remembrances
- Qur’ānic Suwar, litanies, supplications and selected poems.
These forms of devotional articulations are intended to bring us
nearer to the ONE REALITY, ALLĀH , 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 Qur’ān refers to this
remembrance in the following verse: “Remember the Name of
your Lord, and devote yourself to Him wholeheartedly.” [Sūrah
Muzzammil (73), Verse 8]. The merits and profundity of
remembrance, is also encapsulated in the following Ḥadīth:
“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 Allāh.”
He said: “The remembrance of Allāh.” [At-Tirmidhī and Ibn
Māja]
The raison d’etre 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 Khulāṣah, we


have opted for the ‛Uthmāni Script instead of the Indo-
Pakistani format, in the transcription of the Qur’ānic Suwar and
Verses.

The second edition of the Khulāṣah has been restructured,


with the blessings of Ḥabīb ‛Umar bin Muḥammad bin Sālim
bin Ḥafīẓ, 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 Adhkār.
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 Qur’ānic translations we opted for “The Holy


Qur’ān” by Yusuf Ali, “The Noble Qur’ān” by Drs Muḥammad
Al-Hilāli and Muḥsin Khan and “The Qur’ān” by Maulana
Waḥiduddīn 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 Khulāṣah.

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 Ḥabīb ‛Umar bin Muḥammad bin Sālim bin Ḥafīẓ (see
appendix 1).

The English meanings are not intended to supplant the


Arabic, as most of the essential devotions, such as ṣalāh, are in
Arabic, and a Muslim is required, according to the Sacred Law,
to recite his/her ṣalāh 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


Ḥabīb ‛Umar bin Muḥammad bin Sālim bin Ḥafīẓ, is the
manner in which insightful and perceptively chosen Qur’ānic
verses, are holistically weaved into the supplications,
remembrances and litanies.

Like the declaration of Unity, ṣalāh, zakāh, fasting and


good deeds, the litanies and supplications are an integral part of
‛Ibādah and a recognition of our unitive state. They are the
fuel in our wayfaring to Allāh 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 Allāh the
All-Mighty, is an acknowledgement of His Existence, which is
founded on pure and absolute love. Allāh  said in a Ḥadīth
Qudsī:
“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 dhikrullāh, 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 Khulāṣah – the Cream of

13
Remembrance – will be spiritually gratifying and enriching to
the devotees and wayfarers, on their journeys to Allāh .

Wallāhu a‛lamu bi ṣawāb (  


    ). And Allāh
 
knows best (regarding its correctness).

A BIOGRAPHY OF ḤABĪB ‛UMAR BIN
MUḤAMMAD BIN SĀLIM BIN ḤAFĪẒ
(BORN 1964)

1. INTRODUCTION


In the Name of Allāh, the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.
Blessings and Peace upon the Prophet Muḥammad, his family
and his Companions.

Ḥabīb ‛Umar who currently resides in the spiritual and


revered city of Tarīm, Ḥaḍramaut, Republic of Yemen, is a
thirty-ninth (39th) generation descendent of the Prophet
Muḥammad  through Ḥusayn  the grandson of the Prophet
. True to the Prophetic teachings, the Ḥabīb advocates a pure
and universal Islam - i.e. a non-sectarian, non-racial, non-
doctrinal Islām.

The Prophet  said: “The people of Yemen have come to


you. They are the softest of hearts and the most tender of souls.
Īmān is that of the Yemenis, and wisdom is Yemenite yonder”.
(Narrated by Abū Hurayrah  in Ṣaḥīḥ Al-Bukhārī)
With their utmost concern for the poor, orphans and down-
trodden, and living a life in total and dynamic submission to
the Creator, the Ḥabīb and his righteous Yemeni forefathers are
a true embodiment of this narration.

15
2. SCHOLASTIC AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS

Ḥabīb ‛Umar is one of the world’s 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 Bā ‛Alawī Ṣūfi Order. The Ḥabīb
was raised in a household that cultivated a tradition of Islamic
scholarship and righteousness. It was from his father, the
eminent Ḥabīb Muḥammad bin Sālim, that he received special
tuition and traditional religious guidance. It was his father who
was largely responsible for his introduction into Islamic
Spirituality (Taṣawwuf). 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 da‛wah. Besides memorising the Qur’ān at an
early age, Ḥabīb ‛Umar also memorised the core texts of Fiqh,
Ḥadīth, the Arabic language, and studied other facets of the
religious sciences.

After his father’s death, the young Ḥabīb 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, Ḥabīb
Muḥammad bin ‛Abdullah Al- Haddār  and Ḥabīb Zayn bin
Sumayt , the latter being the distinguished Shafi‛i jurist and
scholar. During his stay at the Ribat-Al-Bayda, the Ḥabīb
excelled in his studies and distinguished himself as a scholar.

16
Noticing his passion for da‛wah 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 Ḥabīb


temporarily settled in the city of Ta‛izz, where he studied under
the Mufti of Ta‛izz, the esteemed Ḥabīb Ebrāhīm bin ‛Aqīl bin
Yaḥyā. It was not long after his visit to Ta‛izz, that Ḥabīb
‛Umar set out for Mecca and Medina, to perform the Ḥajj and
visit the grave of our Ḥabīb Al-Muṣṭafā Muḥammad .
During his sojourn in the Ḥijāz, he was blessed to have as a
teacher, the renowned scholar, Ḥabīb ‛Abdul Qādir bin Aḥmad
Al Saqqāf  and, as if by Providence, he was also fortunate to
receive knowledge from two of the illustrious giants of Islam,
Ḥabīb Aḥmad Masḥūr Al-Ḥaddād and Ḥabīb Al-‛Aṭṭās Al-
Ḥabashī. Ḥabīb ‛Umar also visited Oman which is situated on
the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula. Here he propounded
the objectives and goals of the Sharī‛ah (maqāsid) and “turned
many a heart”.

Guided by the All-Mighty, as he always was, it was now


time for the Ḥabīb to return to the land of his birth. The city of
Al-Shiḥr, situated on the south-eastern part of Yemen, would
be the route that would take the Ḥabīb back to Tarīm in
Ḥaḍramaut. The return of the Ḥabīb to Tarīm, would culminate
in the establishment of the flagship, Dār Al-Muṣṭafā. Ever so
conscious of his mission, Ḥabīb ‛Umar would call the people to
Islam and would humbly and systematically sow the seeds of
piety and erudition in their hearts. For Ḥabīb ‛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. ḤABĪB ‛UMAR’S FATHER - MUḤAMMAD BIN


SĀLIM BIN HĀFIẒ: ROLE MODEL AND PILLAR
OF STRENGTH

Ḥabīb ‛Umar’s father was greatly instrumental in laying


down the foundations of Islamic scholarship in the young
Ḥabīb, by exposing him to knowledge of the Qur’ān 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 Ḥamza - The Martyr  and later that of
Ḥassan and Ḥusayn . With our myopic view of life, we do
not always see the whole of Allāh’s plan. The keys of life and
death are in the Hands of Allāh.” The Ḥabīb who accompanied
his father on that fateful day (of Jumu‛ah) was only left with
his father’s 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
Ḥabīb 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 Ḥabīb implanted these luminous threads into the hearts of
every person that he came into contact with.
It is said: “Men’s true mettle is known in adversity as gold is
assayed in fire.” With superb resilience, the Ḥabīb confronted

18
adversity head-on, and patiently persevered in his efforts, to
impart his knowledge, and to spread the message of Islām.

4. THE DOYEN OF DĀR AL-MUṢṬAFĀ:

Coupled with the many years that Ḥabīb ‛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 Qur’ān and Sunnah
– all this would ultimately crystallize in the establishment of
Dār Al-Muṣṭafā, where the tenets of authentic (pure) Islām
would be taught.

This educational establishment was founded in 1414 A.H.


(1993 C.E) and officially opened in the month of Dhul Ḥijjah
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 Imām Al-Ghazālī  and
Imām ‛Abdullah bin ‛Alawī Al-Ḥaddād , 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 Dār Al-Muṣṭafā, students
are fastidiously trained in how to spread the Message of the
Qur’ān, the message of our Prophet Muḥammad , and the

19
message of all those learned and righteous scholars that came
after him .

5. ḤABĪB ‛UMAR: THE PHILANTHROPIST

Being a strong believer that gratitude to Allāh should not


be measured only in words but in action and conduct of life,
the Ḥabīb 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. ḤABĪB ‛UMAR: THE TRAVELLER AND CALLER


TO ISLĀM

True to his mission and vision, Ḥabīb ‛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 Islām. These extensive travels have
witnessed the Ḥabīb addressing thousands of people in
countries like Indonesia and Malaysia.

When the Ḥabīb 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 Dār Al-Muṣṭafā.

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 Ḥabīb has emphatically advocated
to his world-wide audiences, the importance of the Qur’ān and
Sunnah as the only true guidance to salvation, and the often-
neglected understanding, that we are an “ummatan wasaṭan“ (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 Ḥabīb
would balance the substance of his lectures, with the intention
of reaching every individual, and with the knowledge that the
da‛wah that he is expounding, is through the Grace of Allāh,
and that all and everything will ultimately return to Allāh.

In his own country of Yemen, the Ḥabīb 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 Islām and that of the
Prophet .

7. ḤABĪB ‛UMAR: THE ADVISOR

Not a day would pass by, but the Ḥabīb would humbly
share some pearls of wisdom with his audiences; pearls of
wisdom that would flow from a serene and tranquil self. Ḥabīb
‛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 Islām.

8. ḤABĪB ‛UMAR: THE PUBLISHER

Ḥabīb ‛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 (Is‛āf Ṭālibi Riḍā al-
Khallāq bi Bayān Ma Karam al Akhlāq).
• Advice to Students (Tawjihāt al-Ṭullāb).
• Our Character (Khuluqunā).
• The Glorious Treasure (Al-Dhakhīra al-Musharrafa)

22
• The Summary of Prophetic Aid (Khulāṣah al-Maddad al-
Nabawī fil Adhkār) – 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-Sharāb al-Ṭuhūr fi Dhikri Ṣirāti Badri al-
Budūr).
• The Forthpouring of Spiritual Aid (Fayāḍ al-Imdād) – a
compilation of sermons from the Friday (Jumu‛ah)
prayers, the prayer for rain and the Eid prayers.
• Selections from Shifā al-Saqīm (Al-Mukhtār min Shifā al-
Saqīm).
• The Preacher’s Refinement (Thaqafāt al-Khaṭīb).
• The Light of Faith from the Speech of the Beloved of al
Rahman (Nūr al-Īmān min Kalām Ḥabīb al-Raḥmān) – a
compilation of poetry.
• Forthpourings of Favours from the Mercy of the Giver of
Favours (Fa’iḍāt al-Mann min Raḥmat Wahhāb al-Minān).

To sanctify and promote the teachings of the Qur’ān and


that of the Prophet , Ḥabīb ‛Umar has appeared on, and had
been interviewed by numerous satellite channels, world-wide.

9. CONCLUSION:

When you meet the Ḥabīb 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 Qur’ān and the Sunnah. The
Ḥabīb’s life was markedly influenced and fashioned by the

23
many Allāh-fearing and pious persons (Aslāf) 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 – Muḥammad bin Sālim bin Ḥāfiẓ.

The teachings of the Ḥabīb, 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 Allāh .

A leading light of spirituality, a renowned scholar and


academic, a teacher of excellence, a determined and
indefatigable caller to Islām, an unsolipsistic philanthropist; in
short, a whole and complete human being. This succintly sums
up the character and disposition of Ḥabīb ‛Umar bin Ḥāfiẓ.

After having unravelled the threads of light from his


father’s shawl, the Ḥabīb 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 du‛ah that Allāh  through His Enabling Grace,


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

PREFACE


“O Muḥammad! 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”.
[Sūrah 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-Ṭabarāni]

Islām, which in its doctrine of tawḥīd 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 ātina fiddunyā ḥasana wa
fil’ākhirati ḥasana wa qinā ‛adhāban-nār”. (O Lord, grant us
the best of this world and the best of the hereafter and protect
us from the punishment of Perdition). [Sūrah 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 Allāh . 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 Allāh-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 (ḥasad) devours
the goodness of the soul in as much as fire destroys wood.”
[Abū Dāwūd, Ibn Mājah]. Herein lays the wisdom of the
Qur’ānic dictum, that “Allāh does not change the earthly
conditions of a people (mā bi qawmin) until they change that
which resides within their hearts (mā bi anfusihim).” No
external changes within this temporal order (mā 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 Adhkār (invocations) and that of Du‛ā’


(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 adhkār and ad‛iya. In the world
of the spiritual, quality takes precedence over quantity. The
major difference between dhikr and du‛ā’ lies in its
formulation and expression. Adhkār 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
adhkār may be performed silently (preferred by many
Naqshbandi Orders) or they may be vocalised. Du‛ā’, 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 Riḍwān (Good Pleasure). The Prophet  said: “Addu‛ā’
mukh-khul ‛ibādah” (Prayers form the essence of worship) [At-
Tirmidhī]. It is towards a realisation of this “essence” that the
seeker aspires. The “essence” of dhikr and du‛ā’ is one.

27
Towards this end three aspects of this path are noteworthy:
1) Tarbiyyat al-Irādah, or the disciplining of the will
2) Taṣfiyyat 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. Muḥammad al-Ḥajjar in his
work al-Ḥubb al-Khālid (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-Ṭalab, or sincerity and truthfulness in seeking.
[Ḥajjar, 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-Ladunī – in
short, Divine or religious knowledge; knowledge inspirited by
the spirit itself.

In his chapter “Book of the Wonders of the Heart” (Kitāb


‛Aja’ib al-Qalb) in the Iḥyā ‛Ulūm al-Dīn, Imām Abū Ḥāmid
al-Ghazālī (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 Allāh. These acts become the rust
that despoils the spiritual sensitivities and proclivities of the
heart. It is that condition referred to in the following Qur’ānic
verse: “Rāna ‛ala qulūbihim mā kānū yaksibūn”. (Upon their
hearts is the stain of the mischief that they do). [Sūrah
Muṭaffifīn (83) Verse 14]. The rān 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 one’s
(dunyawī) 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
madhāhib (Legal Schools of Thought). Imām al-Ghazālī 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 one’s parents. This, once

29
again, is not tantamount to disrespect for one’s parents. In fact,
such disrespect may act as an even greater veil. The simple
truth is that socially conditioned attitudes, whether they stem
from one’s parents, family, friends or otherwise, may seriously
impede both one’s connection and one’s 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, one’s quest for such
knowledge. Knowledge, according to Imām al-Ghazālī, 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
Imām al-Ghazālī 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-Ghazālī, Vol. 4, 922-4].

The above-mentioned, according to al-Ghazālī, 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 adhkār and ad‛iya with one’s heart and mind exclusively
focused on the Divine Presence.

30
This quintessential compilation by al-Ḥabīb ‛Umar bin
Muḥammad bin Sālim bin Ḥāfiẓ (may Allāh protect him) is one
of the most accessible and pointed selections of adhkār and
ad‛iya. 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 Ḥabīb ‛Umar bin Ḥāfiẓ 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 fayḍān al-barakah
(overflowing grace) flows through the spiritual streams of these
realised shuyūkh 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.

Bismillāhir raḥmānir raḥīm In the Name of Allāh, the Most
Compassionate, the Most
Merciful.
Allāhumma yā allāhu yā ‛aliyyu O Allāh! O Exalted One, O Gentle
yā ‛aẓīm, yā ḥalīmu yā ‛alīm; One, O the All-Knowing,
anta rabbī, wa ‛ilmuka ḥasabī, You are my Lord, and Your
fani‛marrabbu rabbī, wa ni‛mal Knowledge suffices me. What an
ḥasbu ḥasabī, tanṣuru man Excellent Lord is my Lord! What
tashā’u wa antal ‛azīzur raḥīm; a Wonderful Sufficiency is my
nas’alukal ‛iṣmata fil ḥarakāti Sufficiency! You help
wassakanāti walkalimāti whomsoever You want; and You
wal’irādāti walkhaṭarāt; minash are the Mighty, the
shukūki waẓẓunūn, wal’awhāmis Compassionate. We implore You
sātirati lil qulūbi ‛an muṭāla‛atil for security in our movements and
ghuyūb, faqad in times of our stillness, in our
words, in our willing and passing
thoughts, and from the (danger of)
doubts, conjectures and delusions
that cover 35 our hearts from
understanding the Unseen.

rasūluhū illā ghurūrā. [Sūrah promised us nothing but
Al-Aḥzāb (33), Āyāt 11-12] falsifications.” [Sūrah Al-Aḥzāb

among Our Signs?

(cause them to fall into a deep
sleep) for a number of years.
12 Thumma ba‛ath nāhum 12 Then We woke them up (from
lina‛lama ayyul ḥizbayni aḥṣā their sleep) in order to test
lima labithū amadā. which of the two groups were
best in calculating the time

NOTES

1
Khulāṣah: 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 Khulāṣah is the quintessence
of remembrances that are contained in this collection of litanies
(adhkār) and supplications (ad‛iyah). 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 Allāh (dhikrullāh). This refers to the invocation of
the Divine Names. The Qur’ān refers to this remembrance in the
following verses; “Remember Me, and I will remember you.”
(fadhkurūnī adhkurkum) [Sūrah Al-Baqarah (2), Verse 152]; “Invoke
the Name of your Lord, and devote yourself to Him with utter
devotion” [Sūrah Al-Muzzammil (73), Vesre 8]; and: “The
remembrance of Allāh is the greatest.” (wa ladhikrullāhi akbar)
[Sūrah Al-‛Ankabūt (29), Verse 45]
2
Imam Abd Allāh bin ‘Alawi al-Haddad (d. 1132 A.H/1720 C.E)
lived his entire life in the town of Tarim in Yemen’s Valley of
Ḥaḍramawt. He is a Sufi sage, who adhered to the ‛Ash‛ari Sunni
Creed of Faith (‛aqīdah), while in Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), he
was a Shāfi‛i.
3
See Edward Lane for the literal meaning of wird (pl. awrād), 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 Sūfism it is a practice of repeating
the Names of Allāh, and a set of invocations assigned to the murīd
(disciple) by his Shaykh (spiritual master). The term murīd comes
from irādah, 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 awrād
vary greatly, but often include an asking of forgiveness (istighfār), a
prayer on the Prophet Muḥammad  and the shahādah (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
Adhkār is the plural of dhikr, an invocation of Allāh that can be
rendered as "Remembrance of Allāh”. Dhikr, which forms part of the
wird, typically involves the repetition of the Names of Allāh,
supplications taken from the Qur’ān and the Ḥadīth. The Qur’ān
often speaks of dhikr as an act of worship“Remember Me, and I will
remember you” (fadhkurūnī adhkurkum) [Sūrah 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 Fātiḥah refers to the opening chapter of the Qur’ān, Sūrah al-
Fātiḥah, which is recited in the standing position of the ṣalāh, and
which may be preceded softly or audibly by the basmalah.
7
Ikhlāṣ (lit. “sincerity”, “purity”). That sincerity which is to
surrender to Allāh, “with all one’s heart, and all one’s mind, and all
one’s soul”. In Islam this is the affirmation of the Divine Unity. This
is accomplished virtually by the first shahādah, “seeing” that “there
is no god but Allāh”.
8
In the context of the spirit being mentioned after the Angels, it
implies that it is Jibrīl. In Sūrah al-Qadr the same sequence appears
“ The Angels and Jibrīl (Rūḥ) descend”
9
The person repeats more or less 200 times, O Allāh, and intends
with each repetition, that Allāh will fulfill all his needs.

598
10
Cf. Qur’ān, [Sūrah Al-Ṭalāq 65, Verse 3]: wa yarzuqhu min
ḥaythu la yaḥtasib [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 Taṣawwuf, it refers
to the title given to the one who has reached the highest level of
sainthood in his time.
12
Wajīh al-Dīn - 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 ʽAbdullāh. The author here is
referring to his father Shaykh ʽAbdullāh bin Abū Bakr al-ʽAydarūs
also known as Al-ʽAydarūs al-Akbar.
13
The invocation of Imām al-ʽAydarūs referred to as “Al-Dhikr al-
ʽAydarūsiyyah. It comprises of reciting “Lā ilāha illallāh” 12000
times; “Allāh Allāh” 12000 times and “Hu Hu” (the Divine Pronoun)
12000 times; after every prayer obligatory prayer. It is usually given
by the Shaykh to the Murīd 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 ʽAbdullāh bin Abū Bakr al-ʽAydarūs mentioned that the
invocation of “Lā ilāha illallāh” is the key which unlocks the heart,
the invocation of “Allāh Allāh” 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
ʽAydarūs, 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
ʽAfīf al-Dīn: a title in Arabic given to someone with the name
ʽAbdullāh.
15
Kamāl al-Dīn: a title that was given to Shaykh Saʽd bin ʽAli al-
Madhaj, (see next note) Shaykh Sa`d bin `Ali Bā Madḥaj
16
Shaykh Saʽd was taken as a young child to live in the house of
Shaykh ʽAbdurraḥmān al-Saqqāf. It is thus not surprising that he
subsequently became a master of the Sharīʽah, the Ṭarīqah and the
Ḥaqīqah. He was known for his acts of worship and immense
etiquette with the Ahl al-Bayt. It was said of him and Imām
ʽAbdullāh al-ʽAydarūs, that they were so close to each other, that
they were one like one. He was the Shaykh of Imām Abū Bakr al-
ʽAdanī (who wrote this poem). He died in 857 Hijrī (1453 CE).
17
Abū Bakr al-ʽAdani, son of al-ʽAydarūs al-Akbar.
18
This line is not in the original poem but was added by Al Ḥabīb
Ibrāhīm bin ʽUmar bin ʽAqīl, who was the Muftī 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 Allāh  and the Prophet  in all states at
all times. See how the word is used in the Qur’ān in various verses,
eg. “Allāh 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 Allāh  has opened its
meaning. May Allāh  grant us understanding.
20
Sir translated as “secret”; in the classification of the Sūfis 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 “bihā” or “it” here refers to the number five khamsa, referring to
the five persons through whom the author is entreating Allāh to
accept his prayer. The five are the Ahl Kisā’ and they are, the
Prophet , his family, his Companions, Ali, Fatimah, Ḥassan and
Ḥussein . 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 Allāh .
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.
I‛tikāf 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 Allāh, via the Qur’ān, the Sunnah,
and endowed intelligence. According to al-Rāghib al-Isfahāni, it is
the means of access to a thing, and with reference to the verse:
wa‛taṣimū biḥablillāhi (And hold fast to the covenant of Allāh)
[Sūrah Āl-‛Imrān ( 3), Verse 103], it means to follow the Qur’ān
and abstain from schism, which are the means of obtaining
protection from Allāh.
24
Literally: “prayer”, pl. ṣalawāt. The verb from which it is derived
is ṣalla (to hallow); as an act of Allāh, it is translated as “to bless”;
as an act of prayer it is translated as “to pray”. Ṣalāh is the canonical
prayer as opposed to the supplication to Allāh which is called du‛ā.
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 walā ḥawla wala quwata illā billāh
al-‛aliyy al-‛aẓīm.
26
Ṣalāt al-Fajr, also Ṣalāt aṣ-Ṣubḥ, morning prayer, two raka‛āt, 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-
shurūq).
27
Ṣalāt al-Maghrib, or sunset prayer, three raka‛āt the first two
raka‛āt 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 Sūrah in the Qur’ān. Otherwise Yāsīn is among
the 'Cryptic Letters' and the real meaning of which is with Allāh
alone. Everything has a heart, and the heart of Qur’ān is Sūrah Yāsīn.

29
Yaḥyā bin Sharaf al-Nawawī (d. 676 A.H/1278 C.E) was a Shāfi‛i
in jurisprudence, an
‛Ash‛ari in theology, and famous for his Arba‛in Ḥadīthan (forty
Ḥadīth), of which he has also written a commentary.
30
Ṣalāt al-Ẓuhr, the noonday prayer, four raka‛āt, silent.
31
Sūrah 56.
32
The term means “a party”, but in this context it signifies a wird. In
Edward Lane’s Arabic-English Lexicon, it states: A set portion of the
Qur’ān 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: qara’a ḥizbuhū minal Qur’ān (He recited his set portion of
the Qur’ān).

602
33
The Ḥizb al-Baḥr, composed by Imām al-Shādhilī, uses passages
from the Qur’ān. 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 sūrahs. Seven consecutive sūrahs begin with the letters,
and these, together with other letters, are called the ḥawamim.
34
Abū al-Ḥasan ‛Ali bin ‛Abdullāh (d. 656 A.H/1258 C.E), called
Imām al-Shādhilī, as the founder of the Shādhiliyyah Ṣūfi order,
which also includes the Darqawiyyah and the ‛Alawiyyah. He left no
writings, except for a half-dozen litanies such as Ḥizb al-Baḥr
(Litany of the Sea), Ḥizb al-Barr (Litany of the earth), and Ḥizb al-
Naṣr (Litany of Help). The essence of his teaching is masterfully
contained in the Kitāb al-Ḥikam (Book of Aphorisms) of Ibn ‛Ata’
Allāh (d. 709 A.H/1309 C.E)
35
Al-Sātirah: literally means “cover”, but in this context it means
that these delusions and conjectures prevent the hearts from
apprehending the Unseen realities.
36
Cf. Qur’ān, [Sūrah al-Ṣād (38), Verses 18 and 36].
37
Cf. [Sūrah Al-Mu’minūn (23), Verse 88].
38
The Islamic community as identified by its law, religion, group
consciousness, ethic and mores.
39
Wa ka’ābatul 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 Qur’ān, and guides him to
the spirits of the dead and the living, and our master Imām Aḥmad
bin al-Ḥasan al-‛Aṭṭas al-‛Alawī, who died in Huraydah in
Ḥaḍramawt 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
Āyat al-Kursī (lit. the “Verse of the Footstool”). A single Verse of
the Qur’ān [Sūrah Al-Baqarah (2), Verse 255] of more than average
length, it is one of the principle “verses of refuge and protection”,
known as āyat al-ḥifẓ: It is recited – in Arabic – as a means of
entrusting one’s self to Allāh’s care, and is often written on amulets.
42
Al-Batul: refers in this context to Fāṭimah al-Zahrah; the mother of
Ḥasan and Ḥusayn.
43
Murtaḍā; refers to Sayyidina ‛Ali bin Abī Ṭālib (may Allāh be
pleased with him).
