Rathib Al Haddad

The Ratib of Imam Abdallah bin Alawi al-Haddad X, more commonly known as the Ratib al-Haddad is a collection of prayers that was inspired to the great Gnostic and scholar, the Renewer of the twelfth Islamic century; Imam Abdallah bin Alawi al-Haddad (1044-1132AH).

Ratib al-Haddad comprises of verses of the Quran and the supplications of the Prophet ﷺ. The virtues of the Ratib, both worldly and religious, material and spiritual, are as the reader will see, immense. The optimal way of its recitation is once in the morning and once in the evening, although it may be recited just once in the evening. There is no need for a specific ijaza (permission) to recite it, as the litany, based upon the Quran and prophetic Hadiths, was not meant for a particular group of people, but was intended for the entire believing nation.
