Page 25 - Microsoft Word - Du'a and Wirid (Autosaved)

Dear readers who glorify Allāh, dufiā√ and dhikr possess a
high status within the Dīn and a preferentially special placewithin

the hearts of the Muslim community. Those books whose contents
contain various dufiā√ and dhikr receive considerable attention

within the community. Many books have been written by various

fiulamā√ throughout time about dufiā√ and dhikr. There are those
written books which are voluminous in size, complete with

references. There are those that are medium in size and those that

are concise. There are those that contain specific aḥādīth, and those
that are thin and those that give explanations (reasons for and

commentaries). There are also those that contain ṣaḥīḥ (sound,
authentic) and ḍafiīf (weak) narrations as well as those that contain

narrations that are mawḍūfi (fabricated and disconnected from its

origin).

Moreover, there are dufiā√ and dhikr that are extremely
dangerous, that is a person has written the dua’ and dhikr from ‘his’

own invention, and which do not have any origins from the Prophet

. They are made, assembled, and arranged according to personal
opinion and desire, and given elaborate, glamorous titles, yet their

13
contents are talismans, charms, names, and Arabic letters that
cannot be used or understood, which are clearly bidfiah, apostasy,
and polytheism, for which Allāh  has not in the least provided any

such knowledge for.

13 A fatwa from amongst the Ahlus Sunnah wa’l Jamāfiah about books that are fileld with
bidʾah and shirk, cannot be sold nor bought, and moreover must be destroyed. Refer the
introduction of: “Kutub Ḥadhdhara minhā’l fiUlamāʾ”, I/27-45. Shaikh Mashhūr Ḥasan
