Praise to Allah, Lord of the universe, Who has given us the reason
and the knowledge and Who guides us on the right path. He urged us
repeatedly, through several verses of the Qur'an, as in the surah Al
' Alaq and that of Al-Qalam.
May Allah bless and praise our Prophet, our first teacher, Saydna
Muhammad, his lineage and all his noble Companions.
I did of my best to translate this book of Authentic Invocations and
Supplications. Therefore I ask God to bring these efforts to the credit
of the account of good actions, as well as the author's, the transmitters
of the hadith, the person who took time to assemble these authentic
invocations and supplications, and finally, the editor and myself, the
translator.
I take this opportunity to apologize to the dear readers, for errors
that could interfere in printing, and not hold them against me. No one
but Allah is perfect! Furthermore, I pray the dear readers to do their
best to learn these authentic invocations and supplications in Arabic
(in the language of origin where they have been said), because the
Prophet (SAS) said: "Learn Arabic, as it is the language with which
God speaks to you on the Day ofR esurrection."
Saydna Umar lbn Al-khattab (RA) said: "Learn Arabic, because it
is a language that stabilizes the reason and teaches morals."
The translation was made to inform you on the meaning of these
invocations, but it is better to make them in Arabic; And God is more
learned than we are.

We must address, with this translation, our sincere thanks to the
editors of Dar al-kotob al-Ilmiyah for their work in the field of the
dissemination of the authentic Islamic culture beyond the borders of
language. In other words, we want to thank them for the opportunity
to letting us take part in a work that only God is able to pay at its fair
value.
I finally praise our Lord for His benevolent assistance that has
allowed me to finish this translation. May this work be a great benefit
for all.

Introduction 6 6
In the name of Allah, the Most-compassionate, the Most-Merciful
Praise to God. We beseech Him help and forgiveness, and seek His
protection against our bad deeds and souls.
Whomever God directs, no person can deviate him from the right
path; and whomever God deviates, no one can direct him. I testify that
there is of no other deity but Allah, and that Muhammad is His servant
and His Messenger.
{O you who believe! fear Allah as He should be feared, and die
not except in a state of Islam.} (Al-'Imran, 102)
{O Mankind! reverence your Guardian-Lord, who created you
from a single Person, created, of like nature, his mate, and from
them twain scattered (like seeds) countless men and women; fear
Allah, through Whom you demand your mutual (rights), and
(reverence) the wombs (that bore you): for Allah ever watches
over you.} (An-Nisa, 1)
{O you who believe! fear Allah, and (always) say a word
directed to the Right: That He may make your conduct whole and
sound and forgive you your sins: he that obeys Allah and His
Messenger, has already attained the highest Achievement.} (Al
Ahzab, 70 - 71)
In good faith, we sought divine help, for the preparation of a book
gathering invocations and supplications of the Hadith of the Prophet
(SAS), which the Muslim cannot avoid in his daily life, his statements
and actions, without exception.

Introduction 7 8
We studied what has been previously edited and read most of the
books of Dhikr (invocations.) Note: Dhikr in Arabic means
invocation, plural Adhkdr. This word has two meanings: the first
means: to invoke God, and the second: to remember God (the two acts
are good).
Among what we have read, we found that most of these
invocations relate to some Hadith dha'if(weak)°). That is the case of
daily, monthly or weekly invocations; and other invocations, long or
short, are just a product of the imagination of some people and their
view, which are distant from truth and reason and away from the
tradition of the Prophet (SAS). In short, these are approvals by people
who are remote from worship and not held on the right path.
For these reasons, we decided to create this book, in the hope that it
will give weight to our assets of good actions in the other world.
Amen.
We promised that the Hadith of the book would only be those
classified as authentic, with God's help. Each Hadith will be marked in
the margin of the page, and we will show its origin, its level of
authenticity, if it is hassan (good) or not, exception made for the
Hadith of Bukhary and Muslim. These will not be judged as the nation
has favorably welcomed these two books. Reason why, no one doubts
about their truth: our Nation is being protected against the common
error (Al-Jjmda 'aid Al-khata ')(2) • For this book, we have used several
books, especially those of Sheikh Albany (RHA).
(1) Sheikh Nasser Ad-din Al-Albany reported in his research on the good word
page (8): works that deal with this chapter "Bab al-Ka/am Attayib", all without
exception have reported several weak Hadith without being stated by their
authors.
(2) Sheikh Al Islam Ibn Taymyya said in "Majmou 'ou Al-Fatawi Al-Koubrti" (part
8, page 74): among the works known like those of Bukhfuy and Muslim, there
is no other book more authentic on Earth after the Qur'an than those of
Bukhfuy and Muslim.
