Al Hamdulillahi Rabbil 'Aalameen, Was Salaatu Was Salaamu 'Alaa Sayyidil Mursaleen, Sayyidinaa Wa Shafee-e-naa Wa Nabiyy-e-naa Wa Mawlaanaa Muhammadiw Wa 'Alaa Aalihi Wa Sahbihi Wa Awliyaa-e-he Wa Walidihish Shaykh Sayyid Abdul Qaadir el Jilaani, Wa Walidihish Shaykh Sayyid Mubaarik 'Ali Shah Jilaani Ajma'een. Bi Rahmatika Yaa Arhamar Rahimeem.
This collection of Isnaads for Dua's and Darood is taken from a booklet in Urdu entitled ' Ganjeena Akbaari' published Kutub Khaana ' Ishaatul Islaam. These Daroods and Du'as may also be found in the well known book 'Faqri Majmu'a Wazaa'eef' as well as in the books 'Yazdah Surah Shaeef', and 'Majmu'a Wazaa'eef'. The Isnaads found in this booklet [presently in your hands] are English renderings of isnaads found in Ganjeena Akbaari although Isnaads for these Dua's and Daroods are also found in the above cited works as well some what in greater detail. The renderings were done by Mr. Jawhar Jafri of New Port News Virginia.
Many of the Dua's and Daroods have medicinal usages and as such the editor is not qualified to give permission for their use. Those wishing to benefit from the medicinal aspects or to use them as a Ta'weez must seek permission from a competent Shaykh whom Allahu ta 'ala has given permission to let flow the Shifaa [healing] and protective [Ta'weez] powers of these various Dua's and Daroods. Be aware that using various Dua's and Names of Allahu ta 'ala [Asmaa ul Husnaa] without the expert guidance of a Qualified Doctor of the Heart [qalb] is tantamount to prescribing medicine for oneself without knowing which medicine to choose for the illness. It is generally known by all those whom Allahu ta 'ala has given hikmah that only qualified physicians know how to heal. If one were suffering from a physical malady such as heart disease or cancer one would go to a physician who specializes in healing those maladies bi ithnillah [with Allahu ta 'ala's permission].
We pray that Allahu ta 'ala accept the efforts of the editor and illuminate the blessed face of El Imam Shaykh Muhyideen Sayyid Mubaarik 'Ali Shah Jilaani Hashimi our Perfect Mursheed who first introduced us to these various Daroods and Dua's at the beginning of the 15th century Hijra. These Dua's and Daroods have served to heal many of our illnesses and have brought comfort to our hearts and homes. Hazrat Shaykh also made available to us audio cassettes of several of these Daroods and Dua's by which many were healed and were able to learn these Dua's. Our children began to recite these Dua's and Daroods and our hearts soared.
We pray that all those who were given permission to recite these Dua's will continue to recite. Those who have given up reciting should once again go back to reciting [taking the medicine]. We ask Allah Subhaana Hoo to send the Thawaab [Esaale Sawaab] of this booklet on the souls of Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim and Ahli Bayt Ridhwaan Allahu ta 'ala alaihim aj'maeen and all those who have been fortunate enough to have gone forth to meet their Rabb in the Path Fee Sabee lillah and in the suhbah [companionship] of our Blessed Shaykh, Ameen.
There are limitless benefits for this Blessed Darood Sharif [ Salaat 'alan Nabi Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim] and they cannot all be written out in this short booklet. A few are mentioned. Darood Taj
If some one wants to see Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim, then at the height of the month on Yawmul Jumu'ah [Friday] after salaatul Ishaa having performed wudhu and putting on Attar he should recite this Darood Taj seventy [70] times and sleep after that. If he does this for eleven [11] nights, Inshaa Allahu ta 'ala he will see Rasulullah Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim.
For clearing his heart, he should recite this Darood Taj after Salaatul Fajr seven times, and again, three times after Salaatul Asr and Salaatul 'Ishaa respectively. For repelling the Magic of Jinn and the Shayateen, and to be safe from an epidemic and any other diseases, he recites it eleven times.
For being safe from enemies and the Hasid [jealousy] of the Haasideen and the oppression of oppressive rulers, and to be rid of sadness and grief, he should recite this Darood Taj for forty [40] nights after Salaatul 'Ishaa forty one [41] times.
Hazrat Sultan Mahmood al Ghaznawi Rahmatullah alaih, used to recite as a wazeefah [ma'moolaat] with pure intentions and a lot of love this Darood one lakh times. Because of reading this long Darood one hundred thousand times, the whole day would go by and he wouldn't have much time for the administration of government. One night he saw Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim, who informed Hazrat Sultan Mahmood Rahmatullah alaih that the Ummat was is need of his work and the administration of government is dependent on Hazrat Sultan Mahmood al Ghaznawi. Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim then informed the Sultan that if he recites this Darood Sharif after Salaatul Fajr once, he will receive the thawaab of having recited it one lakh times and that with the barakah of this Darood he will have lots of love for Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim, and if he recites it more than once he will get the thawab of one lakh [ one hundred thousand ] times each time he does so. Darood Lakhi
Hazrat Sultan Mahmood al Ghaznawi Rahmatullah alaih, because of this order of Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Sallim recited this Darood once thereafter. He said to all the people based on this riwayah, that anyone from among the Ummati Muhammadi who recites it once will receive the thawaab of having recited this blessed Darood Lakhi one hundred thousand times!
Who ever recites this Darood Hazaari in the Qabrastan [Muslim grave yard] three times, Allahu ta 'ala will take away the punishment of the grave of eighty [80] years. And whoever recites it four times in the Qabrastan Allah Subhaana Hoo will take away the Athaab ul Quboor [punishment of the grave] until the day of judgement. Who ever recites it twenty four times Allah Subhaana Hoo will send a thousand angels who will look over, oversee and protect his parents in the grave till the Day of Judgement. Darood Hazaari
Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim said : "Whoever recites this Ahad Naamah one in his lifetime, he will be taken away with Imaan [true faith] in his heart." And Rasulullah Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim says that he guarantees that this person will go to Jannah [Paradise]. Hazrat Jaabir Rathia Allahu anh says that he heard Rasulullah Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim say: " Man has three thousand [3000] types of diseases in his body, One thousand of these diseases doctors have medicine for and they can treat these. two thousand are such that there is no medicine to cure them. Whoever will keep this Ahad Naamah with them Allah [Subhaana Hoo] will save him from the two thousand [2000] diseases. Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq Rathia Allahu anh says, " Whoever keeps this Ahad Naamah with him will be safe from snakes and scorpions, and magic will have no effect on him and people who think bad of him will not be able to say anything bad about him. Hazrat Khaatuna Jannat Rathi Allahu ta 'ala anhaa says she heard Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim say: "Whoever will use this Ahad Naamah in a time of difficulty his need will be fulfilled". Whoever will write this Ahad Naamah with Misk [musk] and Zafran [saffron] and drinks it, washing it with water, his aql [intelligence] will improve, and whoever memorizes it or some of it and whatever he memorizes he does not forget, that will also help his memory. Ahad Naamah
Hazrat Amir ul Mu'mineen [the isnaad doesn't say which] Rathia Allahu anhu says that whoever reads this Ahad Naamah and give the thawaab to someone who is deceased, the grave of such a person will be lighted from east to west. If someone puts it in the grave, the deceased person will get the thawaab of Prophets. When Munkar and Nakir [the questioning angels] come to question him their questions will be made easy on such a person. Allah Subhaana Hoo will take the Athaab [chastisement] away from his grave one lakh yards [one hundred thousand] to the right, forty thousand yards to the left, forty thousand yards from his head and forty thousand yards from his feet. The grave will be so wide that the eye will not be able to comprehend.
Allah Subhaana Hoo has given this property to this Ahad Naamah, If it is kept in a grave on Yawm ul Qiyaamah [the Day of Standing] the person will rise from the grave as if it is an angel and he will wear the garments of Jannah [Paradise]. He will have Buraaq for riding and Allah Subhaana Hoo will say to this person: "I have an Ahad [covenant] with you that you will be happy because you read this Ahad Naamah in the world every day. I am going to fulfill this promise today and I am going to put a crown on your head and I am going to give you the garments of Jannah. I am going to give you Buraaq to ride on. There will be no questioning from you and you will be sent to Jannah without any chastisement and I will also forgive any person who you ask me to forgive." And he will be sent to Jannah in this manner. His face will be lit like the full moon on the fourteenth night. The people of Mizaan ul Hashr will say that this person must be a prophet or a Wali or one of the Salihoon. The Angels guarding Jannah will say: " No, this person is not a Prophet, he is just a slave of Allah Subhaana Hoo from the Ummah of Rasulullah Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim. The only reason his face is lit like this and why he is wearing the garments of Jannah is because he used to keep the Ahad Naamah with him and this is the Noor and Barakah of this Ahad Naamah, that he is in this blessed position." The people will say: "We were in the world for such and such a time. It is sad that we did not use Ahad Naamah at that time, and we were sort of away from it."
There are a lot of properties associated with this Blessed Qasidah Ghauthiyah of Hadhrat Muhyuddin Sheikh Sayyid Abdul Qadir Jilaani. Among them, the person that recites this Qasida Ghausia eleven [11] times every day will be near and dear to Allahu Subhaana Hoo. Secondly whoever recites this Qasidah Ghausia, his memory will be strengthened so much so that whatever he reads or hears he will remember. Thirdly, by reading this Qasidah Ghausia will be able learn the Arabic language easily. Fourthly, whoever recites this Qasidah Ghausia for forty days for a particular purpose he will be able to fulfill that. Fifthly, if a person keeps this Qasidah Ghausia in from of his eyes and reads it three times a day, and if he doesn't know how to read, he listens to it recitation and doesn't separate from this Blessed Qasidah Ghausia, and has a strong belief and love for what he is listening to or reciting, then he will see Hazrat Ghausul Thakalayn Sirra min Sirra Hoo. By reciting this Blessed Qasidah Ghausia, a nisbah [ spiritual connection] is formed with the sincere reciter and Hazrat Ghausul Thakalayn Sirra min Sirra Hoo. Qasidah Ghausia of Hazrat Ghausul Thakalayn [Sirra min sirra Hoo]
One day Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim was sitting in the Masjid and Hazrat Jibreel Alaihi Salaam brought this Dua' to Rasulullah Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim. The riwaaya of this Dua' is very long. The gist of the isnaad is given. Dua Ganjul Arsh
Hazrat Jibreel Alaihi Salaam said that in addition to a lot of Fadhaail [favors] in this Dua', the reciter gets three things from Allahu ta 'ala. Firstly, Allah Subhaana Hoo gives him rizq [livelihood] from the ghayb [unknown sources], and thirdly, whoever recites this Dua' his enemies will not be able to overcome him. He will be superior to them. The person who does jihad will have the upper hand. He goes on a journey, he will come back with all his things. He will be safe from the shaat of shaytaan na'oootho Billahi min ash shaytanir rajeem. He will be safe from all the bad things and insects and other things on earth and al the bad things in the skies. If a person writes this Dua' out and drinks it using rain water, he will get help for various diseases. If a person suffers from an unknown illness for which the worldly doctors can find no cure and he writes it [with permission of a True Shaykh or his Khalifa etc.] with Zafran [saffron] and washes it and drinks it for twenty one [21] days he will get health from that Bi Ithnillah. If he doesn't have children, he will get children with the help of this Dua'.
Once a criminal was to be beheaded. He was brought before the Sultan in Madinatul Munawwarah and given the death penalty. The executioner tried his sword three times but was unable to kill him. He then tried drowning him unsuccessfully. He tried several ways to kill him to no avail. The Sultan then asked the criminal why the executioner was unable to execute him. The criminal informed the Sultan that he had a Ta'weez, Dua Ganjul 'Arsh and that from the barakah of the Kalaam [words] of this Dua' Ganjul 'Arsh Allahu Subhaana Hoo was saving him. The ruler took this Ta'weez from him, freed him and used to recite Dua' Ganjul 'Arsh from that time on.
One day Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim was sitting in the Masjid in Madinatul Munawwarah and Hazrat Jibreel Alaihi Salaam came to him and said: "Allah Subhaana wa ta 'ala has sent His salaams to you and He has also sent a gift of the Dua' Nur to you and your Ummah. This Dua' was not sent to the earlier Ummah's but it has been sent to your Ummah so that this can be a means of forgiveness [maghfirah] for this Ummah. A person who recites or keeps this Dua with him will live a good life in this world and he will die with Imaan[ true faith] On the Day of Judgement his face will shine like the full moon of the fourteenth night. When the other people see this person on the Day of Judgement they will think he is a Prophet or Wali [friend] of Allahu ta 'ala. They will be told that this person is one of the Ummati Muhammadi and that this distinction has been given to him by virtue of his having recited Dua' Nur. Now it is incumbent upon all the Muslims in the Ummati Muhammadi to spread this Dua and not be stingy. Whoever recites this Dua will not be under any debt and will not be sick. He will always prosper and will be healthy. He will be away from sorrow and cruelty of the cruel rulers. If he goes for Jihad he will be victorious. The swords, arrows and guns will not effect him. If he goes on a journey he will come back safe and sound. Whoever keeps this Dua' with him Allahu Subhaana wa ta 'ala will bestow his Rahmah on such a person. Dua' Nur
Whoever recites the Names of Allahu ta 'ala contained in this Blessed Dua' Jamilah after Salaatul Fajr, gets the thawaab as though he performed Hajj one hundred [100] times of the same blessings of Hazrat Adam Safiy Allah Alaihi Salaam. And whoever recites it after Salaatul Thur it is as if he has performed three hundred [300] Hajj with the same barakah as Hazrat Ibraheem Khaleel Allah Alaihi Salaam. The one who recites it after Salaatul Asr received the reward of having performed one hundred [100] Hajj with the same barakah as Hazrat Isa Ruhullah Alaihi Salaam. The one who recites it after Salaatul Maghrib receives a reward as though he performed Hajj seven hundred [700] times with the same barakah [blessings] of Hazrat Yunus Alaihi Salaam. Who ever recites it after Salaat ul 'Ishaa receives a reward equivalent to one thousand [1000] Hajj as that performed by Hazrat Musa Kaleemullah Alaihi Salaam. The one who recites it after Tahajjud it is as though he has performed one hundred thousand [100.000] Hajj receiving the barakah of the Hajj as performed By Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim. He also receives the barakah of reciting of having freed a thousand hungry people and of having given water to a thousand thirsty persons. Whoever doubts this has committed a sin. In another riwaayah it is said that one day Rasulullah Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim was sitting in the Masjid and all of a sudden Hazrat Jibreel Alaihi Salaam came into the Masjid and said: " Yaa Rasulullah, [Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim] Yaa Khaatimul Ambiyaa [Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim]. Allah Subhaana wa ta 'ala sends Salaams on you and He said that this Dua' Jamilah has been sent for you and your Ummah.." Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim asked him: " O my brother Jibreel, tell me the thawaab in this Dua for me and my Ummat." Hazrat Jibreel Alaihi Salaam said: " Yaa Muhammad [Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim] , the person who recites this Dua or keeps it with him, even if it is his nature to commit sins, by the barakah of this Dua' Allah Subhaana Hoo will forgive him." Dua' Jamilah
Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim has said that from the diseases like plague, seek the protection of Allahu ta 'ala, fear Allahu ta 'ala and ask for His Rahmah [mercy] and Maghfirah [forgiveness] and recite istighfaar and recite this Dua'. Dua Daafi at Ta'oon
Dua' Fataah Muqaddimah
If a person has a lawsuit or trial and he desires to be successful in that he should make wudhu and recite this Dua as often as possible. No matter how bad this problem may be, Allahu Subhaana Hoo will make him successful. This Dua' can be recited without any limitations at any place, whether it is in the court or anywhere else.
Dua' Siryaani
The Elders of Deen say that this Dua' Siryaani is very close to Allahu ta 'ala and He likes it very much. There are several ways to recite it. If there is any difficulty, a person can recite it for forty days with wudhu after Salat ul Fajr or Salaat ul 'Isha. Allahu Subhaana Hoo will grant his wishes. The person who recites this Dua' often will not be dependent on any other person. There will be barakah in his livelihood from Allahu ta 'Ala and Allahu Subhaana Hoo will be pleased with this person. Darood Sharif should be recited three or five times before and after this Dua.
O Muslims remember that Allahu ta ala has given you tawfiq in that you start the New Year with Muharram ul Haraam and Allahu ta has given some special favors in this month. Several ahadith have been transmitted about the fadhaail [benefits] of this month. In one hadith Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim has said that the best sawm [fast] after the month of Ramadhan is the sawm of Muharram. And the best salaat after fardh salaat is Salaatul Tahajjud. Rasulullah Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim has said that whoever fasts the first day of Muharram and the last day of Dhul Hijjah, he has started the New Year with fasting and has spent the last year fasting. These two fasts will nullify the sins of the past fifty [50] years.
The Tenth of Muharram is called Yawmul Ashura. There a many barakah in fasting on this day. In the beginning this fast was fardh [mandatory] on the Muslims. Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim ordered to fast on this particular day. When Allahu ta 'ala made fasting the month of Ramadhan fardh, the fast of Muharram became nafl [optional]. Hazrat Ibn 'Abaas Rathi Allahu ta 'ala anh says that Rasulullah Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim said: "There is no superiority of fasting on any particular day over another except the fasting during the month of Ramadhan and on the Tenth of Muharram."
It is Mustahaab [highly meritorious] to fast on the ninth and tenth of Muharram. Some 'Ulama [True Islamic Scholars] have said that fasting only on the Tenth of Muharram is makruh [frowned upon\blameworthy] because it is like the fast of the Yahudi [Jews]. If he fast on the eleventh it is better. One should engage in 'Ibaadah on the night of Ashura. He will receive much thawaab from it. One should recite Dua Ashura on the Tenth of Muharram having taken a ghusl [complete bath rinsing mouth and nose in the process] the day before. He should recite four nawaafil rakaats with one niyyat [intentions]. In every rakaat, after Al Hamd Sharif [Suratul Fatihah] , he should recite Suratul Ikhlaas fifteen times and after taslim [salaams] he should recite this Dua' ten times.
The thaawaab of the salaat [esaale sawaab] should be sent on the arwaah [souls] of Sayyidayn wa Shaahidayn Imaams Hazrat Hasan and Hazrat Hussayn Ridhwaan Allahu ta 'ala alaihim ajma'een. It will bring the reciter a lot of thawaab as well. Because of the reciter having done this, Sayyidayn wa Shahidayn wa Imamayn Hassan and Husayn will do Shifaa [intercede] for him on the Day of Judgement. The adaab of this particular day is to make ghusl, fast and break fast, make salaat, make Dua', visit the sick, be kind to orphans and make peace between to disputants.
One should cry from fear of Allah, use kohl, give lots of food to the family, put on some attar, guide people who have gone astray. To recite Qur'an Sharif, to recite Kalima Tamjeed seventy [70] times. One should visit the Qabrastan [cemetery], met with friend and relatives, serve parents and abstain from family relationship with the spouse.
Dua' Nisful Sha'baan
The method of reciting this Dua is to read Suratul Yaseen three times after Salaatul Maghrib. After the first recitation the supplicant should recite this Dua' and ask for longevity of life. After the second recitation of Suratul Yaseen, he should recites this Dua' and ask to be safe from all kinds of illness and bad things. After the third recitation of Suratul Yaseen, the supplicant should read the Dua' and ask for freedom from dependency on other people
Dua Aday Qardh
In Hadith Sharif a person informed Rasulullah Sall Allahu wa Sallim that he was heavily in debt. Rasulullah Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim said: " Should I teach you a Dua' that when you recite it Allahu ta 'ala will rid you of all the worries and you will be able to pay your debt?" This person said: "Yes Rasulullah [ Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim]." He was instructed to recite this Dua' morning and evening. This person says that when he did that, Allahu ta 'ala freed him of his worries and he was able to pay his debts.
Conclusion
Dua' and Darood are at the very root of our Deen and as such should not be neglected. Asking Allahu ta 'ala to send Salaat Alan Nabi {Darood Sharif] develops love in the heart for Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim. All the true believers sacrifice themselves and their possessions in the way Fi Sabeelillah hoping to please Allahu ta 'ala. Dua' and Darood are weapons in the arsenal of those who strive.
Once again care should be taken against using the medicinal formulas and Ta'weez without the permission of a True Shakyh. . Our attempt is to acquaint the seeker with the richness of one aspect of Islamic Culture and Science.
Any mistakes found herein are solely the responsibility of the editor who begs the pardon of the 'Ulama and the pious Shaykhs. Any benefits one may derive from reading this book are due to Allahu ta 'ala covering the faults of this servant. Any good found in the editor are simply the end result of having the good fortune of being in the Khidmat [service] of Ahli Bayt. A Talibs competency if there is any is most certainly a miracle [karaamah] of the Blessed Wali of Allah at whose feet he receives the ultimate love, affection and tender care. We pray that Allahu ta 'ala continue to allow us to be true to our Din and always remain those who love Him, Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim and Ahli Bayt.
Wa Sall Allahu ta' ala 'alaa Khairi Khalqihi Sayyidil Ambiyaa-e-wal Mursaleen, Shafee-'e-naa wa Nabiyy-e-naa wa Mawlaanaa Muhammadiw wa 'alaa Aalihi wa Ashaabihi wa Ahli Baytihi wa Awliyaaihi wa Walidihis Shaykh Sayyid Abdul Qaadir al Jilaani, wa Walidihish Shaykh Sayyid Mubaarik 'Ali Shah Jilaani Hashimi wa Baarik wa Sallim.
