Guides to Goodness: Dalāʾil al-Khayrāt with Shaykh Yaqoubi - Bradford Literature Festival 2023

Transport yourself to the enchanting world of the 15th century as we dive into the timeless masterpiece crafted by Moroccan Sufi scholar, Muhammad Sulaymān al-Jazūlī al-Shādhilī – "Dalāʾil al-Khayrāt." This remarkable work was the pioneering compilation of supplications and blessings dedicated to the Prophet Muhammad. Within certain spiritual orders, notably the Jazuli branch of the Shadhili order, the daily recitation of this sacred text has persisted for more than five centuries. Al-Jazūlī's inspiration for this book was born from a miraculous encounter with a young girl who possessed the ability to make a well overflow. Her secret to this spiritual prowess? The constant invocation of blessings and peace upon the noblest of creations, Prophet Muhammad. Join Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi for a truly divine experience, celebrating the revered "Dalāʾil al-Khayrāt" and the launch of its new translation, "Guides to Goodness." The event commences with a soul-stirring rendition by the Musafirun singers, promising an evening filled with spiritual reflection and enlightenment.
