What is the Dala'il Al Khayrat

Introduction

The Dalā’il ul-Khairat (دلائل الخيرات) is a celebrated compilation of صلوات — invocations of blessings and peace upon the Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ.

Complete title:

Dalā’il ul-Khairat wa Shawāriq al-Anwār fī Dhikr al-Ṣalāt ‘alā al-Nabī al-Mukhtār — “The Guide to Goodness and the Radiance of Lights in the Remembrance of Sending Blessings upon the Chosen Prophet ﷺ.”

Soon after it was written, the Dalā’il ul-Khairat spread across the Muslim world, from North Africa to Indonesia.

Noble households cherished it, rulers exchanged splendidly decorated manuscripts, and ordinary believers held their humble copies close to heart.

Wherever it was recited, divine barakah (blessings) descended, in accordance with the Qur’anic command:

“Indeed, Allah and His angels send blessings upon the Prophet. O you who believe, send blessings upon him and greet him with peace.”
Qur’an 33:56

For centuries, millions of Muslims have recited the Dalā’il ul-Khairat — in solitude and in gatherings, in homes and in mosques — devoting themselves to sending blessings upon the Beloved of Allah ﷺ.

The Story of Dala'il Al Khayrat

It is related that one day the author, Imam al Jazuli, went to perform his ablutions at a nearby well but could not find any means to draw the water up. A young girl saw him and called out, ”You’re the one people praise so much, and you can’t even figure out how to get water out of a well?“

So she came to the well and spat into the water, which welled up until it overflowed and spilled across the ground. Imam al Jazuli made his ablutions, and then turned to her and said, ”Tell me how you reached this rank.“ She said, ”By saying the Blessings upon him whom beasts lovingly followed as he walked through the wilds (Allah bless him and give him peace).“ Imam al Jazuli then vowed to compose the book of Blessings on the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) which came to be known as his Dala’il al Khayrat or 'Waymarks of Benefits.'

The Author

The author is the Sufi, Wali, Muslim scholar of prophetic descent, Muhammad ibn Sulayman al-Jazuli. Born in the 9th Hijri century, he was raised among the Gazulah Berbers of the Sus region in southern Morocco. After studying the Qur’an and gaining traditional Islamic knowledge, he travelled to Fez where he met scholars of his time such as Ahmad Zarruq, and Muhammad ibn ‘Abdullah Amghar, who became his sheikh in the tariqa or Sufi path.

His spiritual path drew thousands of disciples who, aided by the popularity of his manual of Blessings on the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), had a tremendous effect on Moroccan society. He taught followers the Blessings upon the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), extinction of self in the love of Allah and His messenger. He was told by the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) in a dream, ”I am the splendor of the prophetic messengers, and you are the splendor of the awliya.“

Dala'il Al Khayrat Benefits

There are many benefits to reading the Dala'il Al Khayrat / asking for blessings upon The Prophet ﷺ. We have listed only a small number.

Obeying Allah
It is a divine command: Allah mentions in the Qur'an, "Verily, Allah and His angels bless the Prophet. O you who believe, ask (Allah) to bless him and grant him abundant peace" (33:56)

Allah will bless you
Whoever asks for blessings and peace upon The Prophet ﷺ, Allah will bless them ten times.

Allah will remove your worries and concerns
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever is troubled by some matter should increase his asking for the blessings upon me, and that will remove his anxieties, his sorrows and cares, and will increase his provision and satisfy all his needs.”

Helps dua get accepted
If you wish to ask something from Allah, increase your asking for blessings upon The Prophet ﷺ, and then ask Allah about your request, and then seal this request by asking for blessings upon The Prophet ﷺ once more. For Allah will accept the two requests for blessings upon The Prophet ﷺ and this is something more noble than whatever is asked for in between.

Allah will forgive your sins
Anas Ibn Malik reported that The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever sends blessings upon me once, Allah will erase ten sins from him, and will raise him ten degrees in status.”
It is related that The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever asks Allah one hundred times to bless me on a Friday will be forgiven the sins of eighty years.”

Blessings in the Hereafter
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever deliberately neglects to ask for blessings upon me has missed the path to The Garden, for the route to The Garden is barred for such a neglectful one, whereas it is open for him who asks blessings upon me."
And he ﷺ said: “The more you ask for the blessings upon me, the more you will have in The Garden."
