ROOTED IN TRADITION:
Guided by Qurʾān & Prophetic Tradition

Drawing on Qurʾānic verses and prophetic traditions, every supplication (duʿā) and remembrance (dhikr) in this collection is anchored in revelation and sound sources.

The work also highlights the virtues of key acts of worship, such as seeking knowledge, calling to Allāh, the night prayer and more.

It also educates the reader by addressing common misunderstandings through short, accessible essays.

Along the way, it explores questions such as the permissibility of gifting reward to the deceased, how many units are prayed in Tarāwīḥ, and how to understand practices like tawassul and istighāthah in a balanced, scholarly way.

SHAYKH MUHAMMAD B. JA'FAR AL-KATTANI
Treatise: Etiquette of Visiting Graves

Readers will also benefit from a dedicated treatise by the prolific author, political activist, and Hadith master, Shaykh Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar al-Kattānī [from Morocco, Fez].

Expertly adapted by Shaykh Idris Watts, this section provides a comprehensive framework for visiting the graves of the righteous. It instructs the visitor on the correct etiquettes to observe at every stage, from preparation to departure, to ensure the experience yields the utmost spiritual benefit.

This is also the first time it has been officially published in English.

About The Author:
Shaykh ʿAbd-Allāh Sirāj al-Dīn al-Ḥusaynī (d. 2002 CE) was an erudite scholar, guide, jurist, and exegete. Born in Aleppo, Syria in 1924 CE, he descended from a distinguished scholarly line tracing back to Imām al-Ḥusayn, the grandson of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

Among the foremost scholars of his era, he specialised in Qurʾānic and Ḥadīth sciences. His legacy lives on through the numerous works he penned, and in the students he nurtured, whom are now guides to many in their own right.
