This is a manual for daily remembrance, compiled by Habib Abdallah bin Ali al-Haddad, a descendant of Imam Abdallah bin Alawi al-Haddad. At his own father's instruction, he gathered together Imam al-Haddad's invocations and his method of worship of the day and night, aiming to give the general Muslim something practical and easy to follow.

What you'll find inside, then, is drawn directly from the Imam's own practice of worship — his invocations for the day and the night, set down so that others might take them up in turn. It reads as a companion for one's daily remembrance rather than a work to be studied at length.

This edition, translated by Rizwana Sayed and published in 2019, comes as a 278-page paperback in A5 size, sized for exactly this kind of daily use. For anyone looking to root their day in remembrance with a sense of continuity to how this was practiced before them, it's a quiet, steady place to begin.
