A Guide to Dalailul Khayrat

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

The recitation of Dalailul Khayrat is a daily practice [awrad/wazifa] of our beautiful Naqshbandi Way.

People of these end of times, would rather spend their time in useless activities like reading the newspapers and watching movies, whilst leaving the reading of this Holy Kitab, which would lift all their burdens and guide them to felicity.

– Mawlana Shaykh Nazimق

Be careful not to leave Dalailul Khayrat, guard its daily reading with care, oh Mureeds!

An Introduction

Dalailul Khayrat’s author, Imam al-Jazuliق is a Dragon-sized Saint, and this Kitab is a heavenly inspiration to hisق heart, because it was lost in love to Rasulullah ﷺ.

There are so many hidden meanings in the recitations contained within this declaration of love for Rasulullah ﷺ, which we have yet to understand.

An appreciation of this first major book of Salawat can be found below, it is a highly recommended read:

1) How To Complete Dalailul Khayrat?

There are a total of 8 Chapters, Monday to the following Monday.

Please note, the reading starts on Monday, and also ends on the following Monday, hence, there are 8 chapters.

So, on Monday, a mureed reads two chapters:

✅ The ending Chapter 8 for Monday.

✅ And the starting Chapter 1 for Monday.

For the rest of the week, read:

Chapter 2: Tuesday

Chapter 3: Wednesday

Chapter 4: Thursday

Chapter 5: Friday

Chapter 6: Saturday

Chapter 7: Sunday

Those who have the time may also read the 99 names of Allah ﷻ and 201 names of Rasulullah ﷺ at the beginning of Dalailul Khayrat. 

You may do this daily, or once a week. 

Some personally like reading the 201 Prophet’s ﷺ names on Friday, since each name is followed by Ṣallā Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam ﷺ. You may do it whenever you wish.
