Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Master of the Day of Judgement.
You (alone) we worship; And You (alone) we ask for help.
Guide us to the Straight Path.
The Path of those upon whom You Have bestowed Your Grace,
Not (the Path) of those who earn Your anger (wrath),
Nor of those who go astray.

14. Make Du`:

Make Du` for yourself, your parents, your Sheikh, your

fellow Brethren on this Path, and all Muslims.

When making dua for the shaykh, be

mindful of his maqam with respect to
us
He is our spiritual father, so make
sincere dua for him, and this
increases our closeness to him
As a result of this, we may receive
gifts (warid) such as special dreams,
of the shaykh, the awliya of this
tariqa including Imam Abul Hasan
al-Shadhili (rahimahullah).
