Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi introduces Dalāʾil al-Khayrāt alongside its new translation ‘Guides to Goodness’ at Cambridge Central Mosque.

Composed in the 15th century by the Moroccan scholar of Prophetic decent, Muhammad Sulaymān al-Jazūlī al-Shādhilī, Dalāʾil al-Khayrāt was the first major work to compile litanies of peace and blessings for the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Al-Jazūlī was inspired to pen the book after seeing a girl miraculously cause a well to overflow enabling him to perform his ablution. When he questioned how she did this, she revealed that the secret was a constant invocation of blessings and peace upon the best of creation, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Among some spiritual orders, its recitation has endured as a daily practice for over five centuries.
