Dalail Al Khairat: Kumpulan Doa untuk Nabi Muhammad SAW
Dalail Al Khairat is a renowned collection of prayers dedicated to the Islamic prophet Muhammad. It was written by the Moroccan Sufi and Islamic scholar Muhammad Sulaiman al-Jazuli ash Shadhili. This collection is highly popular among traditional Muslims in various parts of the Islamic world, including North Africa, the Levant, Turkey, the Caucasus, and South Asia.
The prayers in Dalail Al Khairat are divided into sections for daily recitation, allowing followers to engage in regular remembrance and blessings for the chosen prophet. The full English translation of the title is "Way-marks of Benefits and the Brilliant Burst of Lights in the Remembrance of Blessings on the Chosen Prophet."
According to legend, the inspiration for this collection came to al-Jazuli when he struggled to find pure water for his morning prayers. A young girl, aware of his religiosity, miraculously provided him with pure water by spitting into a well. When al-Jazuli asked how she achieved such a spiritual state, she revealed that constant prayer for God's blessings upon the prophet Muhammad played a crucial role. Motivated by this encounter, al-Jazuli embarked on compiling a collection of litanies and prayers to seek God's mercy and kindness for Muhammad.
Dalail Al Khairat is a significant resource for individuals seeking a structured and meaningful way to connect with their faith through prayer. Its popularity and impact on traditional Muslims make it a valuable addition to the Islamic literature landscape.
