About Dalailul Khairaat Shareef
The
full name of his kitab
( Book) is
"
Dalaail
ul Khayraat Wa Shawaariq ul Anwaar Fee Zikri's
Salaat Alan Nabiyyi'l Mukhtaar
"
(Proofs of Good Deeds and the Brilliant Burst of Sunshine in the Zikr of
Blessings on the Chosen Prophet).
It
is the most universally acclaimed and the most
popular among books of salawat
on the beloved Prophet Sallallahu
'alaihi wa Sallam.
Just as al-Muwatta of Imam
Malik Rahmatullahi 'alaih is the first major book of Hadith Shareef
to be
compiled, Dalaail-ul-Khayraat
is the first major book of salawat.
In it, Imam al-Jazuli Rahmatullahi
'alaih presents to us as a gift, the
collection of salawat
which had been taught, written and handed down
from generation to generation ever since the time
of the blessed Prophet Sallallahu
'alaihi wa Sallam upto his own time.
It is a
precious and selected compilation of salawat
that he was able to obtain in his research. It is a
selected compilation because a total compilation
would have taken many volumes.
The
style of presentation of Imam al-Jazuli Rahmatullahi
'alaih
is all his
own, musk-scented with the love of Rasulullah Sallallahu
'alaihi wa Sallam. The writing flows smooth
and fast with an exhilarating pace.
This kitab
has caught the imagination of Muslims to such an
extent that many 'ulama (learned scholars) have written whole books of explanation
(Arabic:sharh)
on it. These "shuruh"
(plural of sharh) have been referred to, for
example, by Imam Yusuf ibn Isma'il an-Nab-haani Rahmatullahi
alaih, another shaikh in the Shazali tariqat,
in his book
Afdhalus
Salawaat
(The Best
of Blessings).
Dalaail
u'l Khayraat Shareef
has been translated into
Urdu by Shaikh Muhammad Karam Shah Saheb(
Rahmatullahe 'Alaihi) in the
kitab
" Majmu'ah Wazaaif Ma'a Dalaail u'l Khayraat" (Collection of Regular Voluntary Invocations Together with Dalaail u'l
Khayraat).
Arabic
plus urdu images are from this book may Allah
Subhanahu Wata’ala bless his soul and be pleased
with him and also reward the publishers.
Aameen.
Another
pleasing feature of Dalaail u'l Khayraat (Proofs
of Good Deeds) is that its introduction
contains Asma u'l Husna (the most beautiful Names of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala)
as well as Asma u'n
Nabi (the blessed names of the beloved Prophet Sallallahu
'alaihi wa Sallam) one of which is "Syedina
Daleelul Khayraat" (Proof
of Good Deeds). Isn't that remarkable???
While
in the urdu translation of Sharah named Mutaleu’l-Massaraat
the
followings is commented .
