The Lesser Daily Wird

The daily wird is recitation of the spiritual exercise (ratib) of ‘Abd al-Baqi ‘Umar Ahmad al-Mukashafi (may Allah cause us to benefit from his knowledge), recitation of a portion of the Qur’an that is easy to accomplish, and praying for our master and beloved, Muhammad (Allah bless him and grant him peace), according to what one is able to perform on a consistent basis. A little done consistently is better than a lot begun but not continued.

Praised be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds; blessings and peace be upon the noblest of the messengers, our master Muhammad, and upon his family and all his companions. O Allah, I offer to You what I have, each breath, glance, moment, instant which are introduced by the host of the heavens and the host of the earth, and everything in Your knowledge which exists or existed. I offer to You all that I have. [O Allah, You are my Lord, there is no god but You; You created me and sustained me. I am Your servant and it is upon me to fulfill Your promise and Your contract according to what I am able. I seek refuge in You from any evil which I do. I recognize that Your blessings have come from You, and that my offences are my own. So forgive me, for surely no one forgives misdeeds except You. (3 times)]

Not (the path) of those upon whom Thy wrath is brought down, nor of those who go astray.

[And your God is one God! There is no god but He; the Beneficent, the Merciful. (2:163)] [Allah is He besides Whom there is no god, the Ever-Living, the Self-Subsisting by Whom all subsist; slumber does not overtake Him nor sleep; whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is His; who is he that can intercede with Him but by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they cannot comprehend anything out of His knowledge except what He pleases; His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and the preservation of them both tires Him not, and He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory). (2:255)]

[Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is Allah’s; and whether you manifest what is in your selves or hide it, Allah will call you to account according to it; then He will forgive whom He pleases and chastise whom He pleases, and Allah has power over all things The Messenger believes in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, as do the believers; each one believes in Allah, His angels, His books and His messengers; We make no distinction between any of His messengers; and they say: We hear and obey, our Lord! Thy forgiveness (do we crave), and to Thee is the eventual course Allah does not impose upon any soul a duty but to the extent of its ability; for it is (the benefit of) what it has earned, and upon it (the evil of) what is has wrought: Our Lord! Do not punish us if we forget or make a mistake; Our Lord! Do not lay on us a burden as Thou didst lay on those before us; Our Lord! Do not impose upon us that which we have not the strength to bear; and pardon us and grant us protection and have mercy on us, Thou art our Patron, so help us against the unbelieving people.

Say: O Allah, Master of the Kingdom! Thou givest the kingdom to whomsoever Thou pleasest and takest away the kingdom from whomsoever Thou pleasest, and Thou exaltest whom Thou pleasest and abasest whom Thou pleasest; in Thine hand is the good; surely, Thou hast power over all things. (3:26-27)

O Allah, sustain us; You are the best of the providers; You are our sufficiency, the best of guardians; there is no strength nor power except by Allah, the High, the Great.

(9:128-129)] [And you are not (engaged) in any affair, nor do you recite concerning it any portion of the Qur’an, nor do you do any work but We are witnesses over you when you absorb yourself completely into it; and there does not lie concealed from your Lord the weight of an atom in the earth or in the heaven, nor anything less than that nor greater, but it is in a clear book.

The Prayer of Glorifications

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, gave this prayer (şalat) to his uncle, ‘Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him. It begins by saying:

وتعاىل جد كماس كباروت دكموبح مالله كبحانس وت قكدست كاؤأمس كغري وال إله .

“Glory be to You, O Allah, by Your praise; Your name is made blessed, Your work is exalted, Your names are made holy; and there is no god other than You.”

Each raka‘ah in this prayer contains 75 al-baqiyāt al-salihāt which is the following:

حول و ال قوة إال مد هللا وال إله إال اهللا واهللا أكرب والسبحان اهللا واحل . باهللا العلي العظيم

“Glory be to Allah; the praise belongs to Allah; there is no god but Allah; Allah is great; there is no power nor strength except by Allah, the High, the Great.”

The prayer is performed in various ways, but Ibn al-Mubarak in The Enlivening of the Sciences of the Religion (Ihya ‘Ulum al-Dīn) preferred it to be performed in the following manner. It contains four raka‘at and the mentioning of the dhikr, al-baqiyāt al-salihāt, 300 times. After the opening takbīr say while standing al-baqiyāt al-salihāt 15 times, then the Fatihah and a surah, then al-baqiyāt al-salihāt 10 times again. Next, bow in ruku‘ and say al-baqiyāt al-salihāt 10 times. Then stand and say it 10 times. Next, go into the first sajdah and say it 10 times. Then sit up and say it 10 times. Finally, in the second sajdah say it 10 times. In each raka‘ah do the same. After finishing the salat, make a du‘a using the following hadith:

اللهم إني أسألك توفيق أهل اهلدى وأعمال أهل اليقني « بلة وطيش اخلله أد الصرب وجله أمزهل التوبة وعومناصحة أ

، اللهم إين ملع وعرفان أهل العرد أهل الوبعوتأهل الرغبة أسألك خمافة تحجا عن معاصيك حىت أينز ععمال ل بطاعتكم

ك يف التوبة خوفا منك وحىت استحق به رضاك وحىت أناصح

٢٢

خالق األمور كلها حسن ظن بك سبحانأتوكل عليك يف . » النور

“O Allah, I ask You for the success of the people of guidance, the actions of the people of yaqīn (certainty), the sincere counsel of the people of tawbah (turning in repentance), the resolve of the people of sabr (patience), the earnestness of the people of fear, the entreaty of the people of longing, the worship of the people of scrupulousness, the gnosis of the people of knowledge; O Allah, I ask You for a fear that will keep me from disobediences to You until I act in obedience to You worthy of Your pleasure, until I am sincere in my intentions towards You in tawbah in fear of You, until I place my trust in You in all affairs, in good opinion of You, glory be to the creator of light.”

This du‘a raises anyone who performs it to the maqam (rank) of those gathered with Allah, the Exalted. The virtues of salat al-tasābīh (the Prayer of Glorifications) are more than can be counted. The righteous make it part of their spiritual exercises. Whoever does it, even if only once in his lifetime, will enter the Garden of Paradise without reckoning. You can perform it at night or in the day, at any time, and it will be accepted as a nafilah (supererogatory work of worship). However, the best time is before daybreak, especially on Friday, and particularly in the month of Ramadan.

He began with Adam created from clay, who lived in this Dunya, and from whom all mankind spread. He sent His Messengers with His true word, without compulsion
