Bismillahi Ar-Rahmani Ar-Raheem

O Allah, send Your blessings and peace upon our Master Muhammad ﷺ, the Prophet of mercy, and upon his family and companions.

For the past four years, we have been a dedicated team striving to spread love for Al Habib ﷺ. This website has been built with the sincere intention of reviving the recitation of Dalail al Khayrat and nurturing a deep love for Al Habib ﷺ in the hearts of his Ummah, especially among the people of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah.

This effort stands as a form of sadaqah jariyah for the entire team who have spent countless hours working on these projects. From compiling a comprehensive 300+ page eBook designed to be accessible and easy to read, to developing and maintaining this platform, every step has been taken with sincerity and purpose.

We humbly request your duas for those involved in this effort:

Muhammad Inshad, Muhsina, Nameera, Fathima Muhsina, Asma Abbas, Zeenat, Shahina Parvin, Ayesha Fathima, Syeda Zaakiya, Ayesha Khan, and all others who contributed to this work.

May Allah accept this work from us, forgive our shortcomings, place barakah in this effort, and make it a means of guidance, love, and nearness to Him and His Beloved ﷺ. May He reward everyone involved with the best of rewards, grant them sincerity, protect them, and make this a source of ongoing goodness in this life and the next.

The Origin

The Story of Dalā'il al-Khayrāt

It is related that one day the author, Imam al Jazuli, went to perform his ablutions at a nearby well but could not find any means to draw the water up. A young girl saw him and called out, ”You’re the one people praise so much, and you can’t even figure out how to get water out of a well?“

So she came to the well and spat into the water, which welled up until it overflowed and spilled across the ground. Imam al Jazuli made his Ablution, and then turned to her and said, ”Tell me how you reached this rank.“ She said, ”By saying the Blessings upon him whom beasts lovingly followed as he walked through the wilds (Allah bless him and give him peace).“

Imam al Jazuli then vowed to compose the book of Blessings on the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) which came to be known as his Dala’il al Khayrat or ‘Waymarks of Benefits.’

Imam

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.“
