Al Jazuli was astounded by this miracle and asked the girl how such a miracle
was possible. To this she replied “I was able to do this through my asking
Allah for peace and blessings upon Prophet Muhammad.”

Having witnessed the blessed benefit of asking for blessings upon the
Prophet, may Allah praise and venerate him, and give him peace. Al Jazuli
decided to compose Dala‟il ul-Khayrat by gathering and selecting material
from a multitude of authentic Islamic references that praise and supplicate for
blessings upon the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him. When one reads
these supplications on the Prophet, praise and veneration be upon him, Allah
showers not only His Prophet with blessings but also its reader.

This great work has been, and still is acclaimed by all the lovers of Prophet
Muhammad, praise and veneration be upon him, as being the foremost book
to praise him.

Dalail was later explained by Imam Al-Fasi and subsequently all authentic
references were added at the end of each statement in his famous
explanation of Dalail.

However, one must not suppose that this work contains all the authentic
prayers that praise the Prophet, they are so numerous that they would
exhaust volumes of writing; but they are the most precious.

The style of Imam Al Jazuli‟s presentation is uniquely his own and scented
with musk in sincere love of the Prophet, praise and veneration be upon him.
His writing flows both swiftly yet with smoothness at an exhilarating pace and
has attracted many learned Muslim scholars, including Imam Yusuf, son of
Ishmael an-Nabahani, to write books that expound its deeper meaning and
enriches one‟s understanding. Such is the love for this blessed book that
Muslim scholars of various tongues such as Urdu felt the compelling urge to
translate it into their native language so that their people may praise the
Prophet in the best manner and be blessed by its reading.

Another pleasing feature of this book is that its introduction contains the most
beautiful Names of Allah, as well as the blessed names of our beloved
Prophet, one of which is Dalaail ul Khayrat .

The book is presented in eight parts. It is highly recommended that one
commences its weekly reading on a Tuesday with the introduction to Part 1.
Each part is read on its given day and thereby eases its completion in a week.
Each part takes approximately ten to twenty minutes. Many a traveler on the
Spiritual Path has selected to make Dalail ul Khayrat their daily voluntary
supplication.
