What is the Dala'il Al Khayrat?
The Dala’il Al Khayrat (also known as Dalailul Khairat, دلائل الخيرات) is a compilation of salawat, or sending of blessings and peace upon the Prophet ﷺ. The extended title of the book is Dala’il Al Khayrat wa Shawariq Al-Anwar fi Dhikr al-Salat ‘ala al-Nabi al-Mukhtar (The Guide to Goodness and the Advent of Blazing Lights in the Remembrance to ask for Blessings upon the Chosen Prophet).
Soon after it was written, the Dala’il al Khayrat swept across the Islamic World, from North Africa to Indonesia. All well-to-do homes had one; princes exchanged magnificently embellished copies of it and commoners treasured it. Everyone who read it found that barakah descended wherever it was recited, in accordance with the Divine command: Verily Allah and His angels bless the Prophet: O you who believe, bless him and grant him peace (Qur’an 33:56).
Millions of Muslims from East to West recite it, alone and in groups, in homes and mosques, utterly spending themselves in the Blessings on the Most Beloved.

Al-Jazuli
The author is the Sufi, Wali, Muslim scholar of prophetic descent, Muhammad ibn Sulayman al-Jazuli. Born in the 9th Hijri century, he was raised among the Gazulah Berbers of the Sus region in southern Morocco. After studying the Qur’an and gaining traditional Islamic knowledge, he travelled to Fez where he met scholars of his time such as Ahmad Zarruq, and Muhammad ibn ‘Abdullah Amghar, who became his sheikh in the tariqa or Sufi path.
His spiritual path drew thousands of disciples who, aided by the popularity of his manual of Blessings on the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), had a tremendous effect on Moroccan society. He taught followers the Blessings upon the Prophet, extinction of self in the love of Allah and His messenger.
He was told by the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) in a dream,
"I am the splendor of the prophetic messengers, and you are the splendor of the awliya."

Scholarly Praise for Dala’il al Khayrat
How beautiful is this Dala’il al-Khayrat! the one who enjoys the taste of it, sees it in a much different way!
Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani
If a person wishes to attain divine blessings for a particular need by means of it (i.e. Dala’il al-Khayrat), then it should be with the condition that his self - in general - has one resolve. When this opening occurs, this person persists in this meaning linked to this action; and makes it a means of attaining his needs.”
Shaykh Shah Waliullah al-Dehlawi
On every shelf in every home there was a great book which we sometimes forget which is the Dala’il al-Khayrat, it is a great work on prayers upon the Prophet ﷺ.
Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi
“There would be no depression if people recited Dala’il al-Khayrat.”
Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi
This book (i.e. Dala’il al-Khayrat) is a sign from the signs of Allah regarding the sending of blessings and peace.
Shaykh Yusuf al-Nabhani

Benefits of Dalā'il al-Khayrāt
There are innumerable benefits to reading Dalā'il al-Khayrāt and sending blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ. Here is a small number of them.
Obeying Allah
Sending Ṣalawat is a divine command directly from Allah in the Qur'an. Every time you recite, you fulfill a sacred obligation and draw closer to your Lord.
Allah Will Bless You Ten Times
Whoever asks for blessings and peace upon the Prophet ﷺ, Allah will bless that person ten times in return. Every single recitation multiplies in reward.
Worries Removed
The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever is troubled should increase his asking for blessings upon me — it will remove anxieties, sorrows and cares, and increase provision."
Sins Forgiven
Anas ibn Mālik reported: "Whoever sends blessings upon me once, Allah will erase ten sins from him and raise him ten degrees in status."
Du'ā Accepted
Begin your supplication with Ṣalawat, end it with Ṣalawat. For Allah will accept the two requests for blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ and what is asked in between is too noble to be rejected.
Blessings in the Hereafter
The Prophet ﷺ said: "The more you ask for blessings upon me, the more you will have in the Garden."
We humbly ask you to remember in your du’ā every soul behind this work — those seen and unseen who contributed sincerely for the sake of Allah. Our intention is simple: to make this a ṣadaqah jāriyah that continues to benefit hearts and increase love for Al-Ḥabīb ﷺ.
If you find even a trace of goodness in these pages, we ask you to pray that Allah accepts it from us, forgives our shortcomings, and makes it a source of light in the Hereafter.
