Page 24 - Microsoft Word - Du'a and Wirid (Autosaved)

Shaikhul Islām Ibnu Taimiyyah ﷲا ﻪﲪر said: “Amongst the

most shameful and disgraceful people are those who use ḥizib and

wirid that have not been transmitted (no prior example for) from
the Prophet , even though those ḥizib and wirid originate from

their own shaikhs (their teachers). Meanwhile ‘he’/they in fact
desist from/disregard the dhikr and wirid taught and read by the

leader of ‘mankind’ and Imām of all creatures, that is the Prophet

11
Muḥammad , who is proof from Allāh for His servants”.

All goodness is by means of ittibāfi (the following of) the

Prophet , the guidance of his examples, and following his
ṣaḥīḥ sunnah. He  was the exemplary figure who always received

an abundance of mercy and prayers from Allāh , the angels and

all created beings. He  was the most perfect of ‘mankind’ in his
dufiā√ and dhikr to Allāh the Glorified and Most High.

Ibnul Qayyim ﷲا ﻪﲪر (died 751 H) said: “The best and most

beneficial dhikr is the dufiā√ and dhikr that is believed with certitude
by the heart, spoken with the tongue, and consistently implemented

from amongst the dufiā√ and dhikr exemplified by the Messenger of

Allāh , as well as the person who carries them out understands
12
the meaning and intention contained within them”.
