The Awrad

The Awrad

(10) Dhikru’l-Jalalah “The Glorious Dhikr.” Allah Allah : 5000 times verbally.

(11) Dhikru’l-Jalalah : “The Glorious Dhikr.” Allah Allah ; 5000 times in the heart.

And having concluded both of these you may then recite the prayer on the Prophet (Peace be upon him!)

(12) Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammadin wa ‘ala Ali Muhammedin wa sallim: 1000 times.

But every Monday, Thursday and Friday 2000 times.

(13) Recitation of one Juz’ of the Qur’an Karim. (A Juz’ is one – thirtieth of the Qur’an).

(14) Recitation of one Hizb (Section) of the book : “Dala’ilu’l-Khairat”.

And these two things, the recitation of the Qur’an and Dala’ilu’l-Khairat, may not be omitted unless there is a very good excuse for doing so. The Shaikh gives the following example of what constitutes a good excuse. If a person were offered two gold liras to re- cite one Juz’ of the Qur’an but nevertheless were to refuse because of some weakness or other, then this would be a good excuse.

And if he does not recite them because of some good excuse, then he should recite Ikhlas Sharif 100 times in place of the recitation of the Qur’an, and 100 times Salawat Sharifah in place of Dala’ilu’l-Khairat (If, for example, one can’t read enough Arabic to recite from these books, he should undertake that task, and, in the meantime read the substitute formulas.)
