Imam 'Abd Allah ibn 'Alawi al-Haddad, of Hadramawt in southern Yemen, is generally considered one of the great spiritual masters of Islam. Widely believed to have been the Mujaddid or Renewer of Islam for the 12th/18th century, Imam al-?add?d is one of the leading figures in the illustrious tradition of the Ba 'Alaw? Sayyids, scholars and shaykhs.In addition to the wealth of treatises and litanies (awrad) that he left to posterity, the Imam wrote hundreds of letters to disciples, followers and fellow scholars, to local sultans and governors, and to other individuals both in his region and elsewhere in the Muslim world. These letters provide unique insights into the Imam's learning, his wisdom, and his personality. They reflect his relationships with family, friends, rulers and others, his life and times, and his reactions to current events. Also notable is his frequent use of verses to highlight points with extra force and eloquence; these are translated in full. Selected Letters of Imam al-Haddad presents a representative choice of this precious material, expertly translated together with full annotations and a glossary of technical terms. It will be of interest to anyone concerned with the literature on the spiritual path and its masters in Islamic tradition.

The Prophetic Invocations by Abdallah Ibn Alawi al-Haddad Pdf

Imam Al-Ghazali (may God's mercy be on him) wrote in his book The Beginning of Guidance: You should not neglect your time or use it haphazardly; on the contrary you should bring yourself to account, structure your litanies and other practices during each day and night, and assign to each period a fixed and specific function. This is how to bring out the spiritual blessing (baraka) in each period. But if you leave yourself adrift, aimlessly wandering as cattle do, not knowing how to occupy yourself at every moment, your time will be lost. It is nothing other than your life, and your life is the capital that you make use of to reach perpetual felicity in the proximity of God the Exalted. Each of your breaths is a priceless jewel, since each of them is irreplaceable and, one gone, can never be retrieved. Do not be like the deceived fools who are joyous because each day their wealth increases while their life shortens. What good is an increase in wealth when life grows ever shorter? Therefore be joyous only for an increase in knowledge or in good works, for they are your two companions who will accompany you in your grave when your family, wealth, children, and friends stay behind.

Two Treatises by ʻAbd Allāh ibn ʻAlawī ʻAṭṭās,Imam Abdullah Ibn Alawi Al-Haddad Pdf

This volume contains two concise treatises of the venerable Imam al-Haddad. The first treatise, 'Mutual Reminding,' distils the ethic and content of offering good counsel to one another. The chief elements of counsel, says the Imam, are taqwa (an active fear and consciousness of God) and detachment from the material world. These elements connect well with the topic of the second treatise, 'Good Manners,' which discusses the manners recommended of the spiritual wayfarer as he or she takes the path to spiritual felicity"
