Khulasa al-Madad al-Nabawi (The Essence Of The Prophetic Support) -The Mughal ScriptAssalamu alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh May this paper find you and your families in the best of health and imaan. We are a group of brothers from the United Kingdom who are intending to put together a Mughal script Khulasa that can be used by people here in the UK and the rest of the Muslim world. The Khulasa is written by Shaykh Habib Umar bin Hafidh (May Allah SWT preserve him) and is a book of daily Prophetic invocations and litanies. Imam Abdallah ibn Alawi al-Haddad (Allah have mercy on him) (d.1132 Hijri) said, ‘The aim and spirit of spiritual routines (awrad) is presence with Allah (SWT). Aim for it; you will reach it only if you travel the road that leads to it, which is performing the external activities and striving to be present with Allah during them. When you persevere in this you become immersed in the lights of Proximity, and the sciences of gnosis emanate upon you, at which your heart becomes wholly intent on God and presence becomes its nature and well-established quality.’ [The Book of Assistance] A wird is any regular routine of worship, such as prayer, remembrance (dhikr), supplication (dua) and fasting (sawm). One can also consider regular routines of religious study and reading to be a wird. It is sunna to be consistent in one’s works; to focus not only on actions, but on excellence in one’s actions; and to strive for gradual, meaningful increase that is sustainable. The consistent reading of the Khulasa will Insh’Allah help the polishing of the heart. By striving to remain persistent in reading the invocations with conviction and presence, Insh’Allah this will lead to the seeker’s purification and the pleasure of Allah (SWT) A brief has been attached to provide the reader with further information about the Mughal script Khulasa and we kindly request you to please assist us financially in this blessed project.
