Supplications and Remembrances

At its heart, this is a book of duʿāʾ and dhikr, a companion for every time of day and every season of life. Within its pages you will find morning and evening remembrances, supplications for marriage, protection for children, prayers in illness and recovery, and words for both grief and joy. Whether you are at home, at work, or travelling, you can open to a page and immediately find words that meet your state. Drawing on Qurʾānic verses and prophetic traditions, every supplication (duʿā) and remembrance (dhikr) in this collection is anchored in revelation and sound sources. The work also highlights the virtues of key acts of worship, such as seeking knowledge, calling to Allāh, the night prayer and more. It also educates the reader by addressing common misunderstandings through short, accessible essays. Along the way, it explores questions such as the permissibility of gifting reward to the deceased, how many units are prayed in Tarāwīḥ, and how to understand practices like tawassul and istighāthah in a balanced, scholarly way. Also included is Shaykh Muhammad Ja'far Al-Kattani's treatise on Etiquette of Visiting Graves.
