Synopsis

Set in clear Arabic script with accompanying transliteration and translation, it is a beautiful and practical devotional work with extensive notes. It is arranged in such a way that one can recite the entire compilation every day or choose selected invocations for one's needs. The attribution of every recital to a historical personage (with biographical notes) makes the work unique in its presentation.

This book contains ten different sections:

1. Preface, outlining the back story of this text and discussing the role of du'a, and particularly a structured routine of du'a, in the life of a Muslim
2. "The Basis," a selection of verses from the Qur'an which mention dhikr
3. "Morning and evening invocations," the heart of the text, a sequence of 41 du'a from the Qur'an, Sunnah, and selected scholars, with attribution for each one
4. "The Ten Sevens," a sequence of recitations from the Qur'an and du'a
5. "The Seal of Prophethood," a traditional calligraphic portrait of the khatam an-nubuwwa that is between the Prophet's shoulders ﷺ
