All praise belongs to Allh alone, the Lord of the World; and may
Allh bestow ennoblement, mercy and peace to His servant, alMuaf (the Elect), al-Am^n (the Trusted and Trustworthy),
Sayyidin (our master) Muammad and members of his household
and his companions and their adherents; and may that last until the
Day of Judgment.
May Allah reward, with the best of rewards Mohammad bin Ahmad
Mbaye for his translation of the opuscule al-Dhak^rah al-Musharrafa,
which comprises the essentials a Muslim needs in his religion, plus
supplications and invocations as found in the sunnah. By them faith is
strengthened; trials, tribulations and afflictions are warded off; goodness is achieved, and Allhs gifts attained. May Allh bless his service
to his English speaking brethren, who are unable to speak Arabic, in
making it easy for them to take provision from [these] essential facts
and great invocations.
He whom Allh wishes immense good for, He grants insight and

The pillars of imn are six: to believe in Allh; His Angels; His
revealed Books; His envoys; the Last Day; and predestination both the
good and the evil thereof whilst recognising that both are from Allh,
Most High.
Isn: is to worship Allh as though you see Him, and if you can't see
Him, to know that He sees you.1
________________________________
1 Umar Ibn al-Khab () related that a man appeared before them. He walked
up and sat down by the Prophet and asked him about islm, imn and isn.
The Prophet () answered him and then the man departed. The Prophet then
said: Umar, do you know who the questioner was? I said: Allh and His
Envoy know best. He said: It was Gabriel, who came to teach you your religion. (Related by Muslim.)
The full form of this ad^th clarifies the pillars of islm, imn and isn. Ibn
Umar also relates [from the Prophet ()]: Islm has been built on five: testifying that there is no god but Allh and that Muammad is His Envoy; establishing the alh; giving the zakh (alms), making ajj (the pilgrimage) to the
House of Allh (al-Kaba) and fasting the month of Raman. (Related by alBukhr^ and Muslim)

9 Abu Hurairah () narrated that the Prophet of Allh () said: When any of you
finish with the last tashahud you should ask Allh for protection from four
things: from the punishment of Jahannam, from the punishment of the grave,
from the tribulations of life and death, and from the evil trials of the Masi
ad-Dajal. (Related by al-Bukhr^ and Muslim). And in another narration by
Muslim: When any of you recite the tashahud you should ask Allh for
protection from four things and should say: Allhumma inni adhu bika min
adhbi jahannam, wa min adhbi-lqabr, wa min fitnatil maya wal mamt, wa
min sharri fitnat-almas^ ad-dajal.
Ali () said: The Envoy of Allh used to say between the tashahud and taslim:

wa ma asraftu wa m anta alamu bihi minni anta almuqaddimu wa anta

You, and entrust my affairs to You. I have entrusted my back to You for

to You. I have believed in your Book, which You revealed,
and Your Prophet, whom you sent. Then if you die that night you will die in
purity and if you awaken in the morning you will encounter more good; and
make them the last words you utter. (Bukhr^ and Muslim)

Arrising. (Bukhr^.)
Abdullah ibn Amr () relates that he heard the Prophet say: When you hear
the call to prayer (adhn) repeat what the caller (muadhin) says; then ask
Allh to bestow ennoblement and mercy upon me, for whoever ask for ennoblement and mercy [to be betowed] upon me, Allh bestows ennoblement
and mercy on them ten times in return. Then ask Allh, on my behalf, for alwas^lah, which is a station in Garden that only one of all the servants of Allh
will be deemed worthy for and I am hoping that I shall be that one. Whoever
asks was^lah for me makes it incumbent upon me to intercede for him.

22 Abu Hurairah () relates that the Prophet () said: If a person sits in company
which indulges in vain talk and before standing says: Glory be to You,
Allhumma, praise be to You. I testify that there is no god but You; I ask for
Your forgiveness and I repent to You; he is forgiven for his participation in
that company. (Abu-Dud, al-Nasi, Ibn-abban and al-Tirmidhi who said
that it is a ai ad^th).Jubair bin Muim relates: The Prophet () said: Glory
be to You, Allhumma, praise be to You. I testify that there is no god but You.
I ask Your forgiveness and I repent to You. Whoever says this in a gathering
of dhikr (remembrance of Allh) shall have it imprinted on him, and whoever
says it in a gathering of laghu (vain talk), it will act as forgiveness for him.
(Al-abarni, al-Nasi and al-Hkim and said it was ai in the condition of
Muslim.)

a market place and says: There is no god but Allh, alone without partners, to
Him belongs all dominion and praise. He gives life and He causes death, and
He is living and never dies. Good is in His Hand, and He has power over all

and He will erase thousands upon thousands of his misdeeds, and he will be
raised thousands upon thousands of degrees. (Al-Tirmidhi said that it is a good

6) So glorify Allh when evening comes upon you and when you rise
in the morning. To Him belongs all praise in the heavens and
the earth, and in the evenings and in the noon. He brings forth the
living from the dead, and [He] brings forth the dead from the
living, and He revives the earth after it is dead; and similarly, so you

8) Had We sent down this Qurn upon a mountain, you would have

examples, We set for people so that they may reflect. He is Allh;
there is no god but He; Who Knows the unseen and the manifest;
He is the All-Merciful, the Beneficent. He is Allh; there is no god
but He. He is the Sovereign, the Holy, the Peace, the Faithful, the
Guardian, the Eminent, the Compeller, the Proud. Glorified is
Allh above what they associate. He is Allh, the Creator, the
Originator, the Fashioner; to Him belong the Most Beautiful
Names. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Him and
He is the Eminent, the Wise. (Qurn, 59:21-24)

I rely, and You are the Lord of the Tremendous Throne.

not, cannot; there is neither power nor ability save by Allh, the
High, the Tremendous.

encompasses everything with His knowledge.

from the evil of every creature You have taken by the forehead; my
Lord is on a straight path.

from Your punishment I seek protection; make good all my affairs

27) Allhumma, I ask for well-being in this world and in the hereafter.
Allhumma, I ask of You pardon, well-being and constant safety
in my religion, worldly affairs, family and possessions.
28)Allhumma, conceal my faults and assuage my fears.

hands, and from [the evil] before me, behind me, on my right, on
my left, and from above me and I seek refuge in Your Greatness
from unexpected harm from below me.
30) Allhumma, You created me and You guide me, and You feed me
and You provide me with drink, and You cause me to die and You
give me life; and You have power over all things.
31) We enter this morning on the natural disposition of Islm; on the
Word of Sincerity; on the religion of our Prophet Muammad,
may Allh bless him and his family and grant them peace; and
on the creed of Ibrh^m, who was upright, Muslim, and not
a polytheist.

we have reached this evening. By You, we live and by You we die;

afflicted man and he recited the verses Afa-asibtum annam khalaqnkum abathn... to the end of the srat (Qurn, 23:115-118)

Whose Hand lies my soul, if a man with certainty was to read it on
a mountain it would perish.
Muammad bin Ibrh^m narrated from his father that the Prophet
() sent him on an expedition on which he ordered them to read the

they were protected and victorious.
6) Fa-subn Allhi ^na tumsna wa^na tubihn...

Fa-subnaLlahi ^na tumsna wa^na tubih^n until wakadhlika tukhrajn (Qurn, 30:17-19), will obtain the reward he
missed that day; and whosoever recites it in the evening, will obtain
