Send prayer on our Master whose quality, revelation, message, and wisdom are most praised (Muḥammad), and on his lineage and companions, and salute him with a perfect salutation). As-salāmu ʿalaikum, Due to the outbreak of a dangerous virus througout the world, ḥaḍrat Sayyid Shaikh Muḥammad al-Muḥammad al-Kasnazān al-Ḥusseinī (may Allah sanctify his secret) has recommended reading the following dhikr…

Ḥaḍrat Sayyid Shaikh Muḥammad al-Muḥammad al-Kasnazān al-Ḥusseinī (may Allah sanctify his secret) has instructed that 100 times of dhikr of “Lā ilāha illā Allah.” has been added to the end of the Wird al-ʿAṣr. He has described this addition as “the Victory Dhikr”.

Rabbi ighfir lī (My Lord, forgive me!)”
