Days of the Week in Islam and Dalail Khayrat– Sajad Ali

Dalail Khayrat is read across 8 days starting from Monday and completing on the following Monday.
The 1st day of the week starts at Maghrib at Sunday. So Maghrib on Sunday is Islamically Monday Night.
Once you have completed the 8th Part. The following Monday that is one Khatm completion done.

Then read the 1st part again by starting again on Monday. So what that means is Part 8, and then part 1 are
read on Monday on the following Monday to start the circle again, that is if you Read Dalalil al-Khayrat daily.

If you miss a Chapter of Dalalil al-Khayrat, simply make it up the following day to catch up. There many
methods of reading Dalalil al-Khayrat, the easiest is one Juz or Chapter a day, or 2 or 3 or 4, or completely
the whole Dalalil al-Khayrat in a day in as many sittings as you like.

For Group Khatm of Dalalil al-Khayrat, it’s just like reading group Quran Khatm were each is giving one Juz to
read, but all read Chapter 8 of Dalalil al-Khayrat, as it has the closing Khatm and Duas. Thus in a group Khatm
you read any Chapter/Juz each plus all read Chapter/juz 8 together. Just like reading Khatm of Quran for a
deceased relative or friend. The same can be done with Dalalil al-Khayrat making a Mawlid niyyah for the
passing away of a deceased relative or friend not just Quran Khatms.

If you read Khatm of Dalalil al-Khayrat each day, you’ll wondrous dreams and be guided from all difficulties
and all problems will be solved. The Shadhili Masters have said; if you have no Hadi Guide-(no Sufi Shaykh)
then take Dalalil al-Khayrat as your Shaykh, and the Prophet sallallahu alayis-salam with inshallah guide you.

That only works, if you reading a complete Khatm of Dalalil al-Khayrat each day as your Wird.

As for the reference, ‘He that has no Shaykh, has Shaytaan has a Shaykh’, (Shaytaan here can mean Nafs)
meaning; Thus he that has no Shaykh has his Nafs-ego/desires misguiding him, is another meaning if
understood from that perspective, that said finding a Waliyyun Murshid is still good for many too, as that is
indicated in Quran Surah Kahf;

(Surah Kahf 18:17) ‘He whom Allah guides is the rightly guided, but he whom He leaves astray - never will
you find for him a (protecting guide-Waliyan Murshida)’

A Wali Murshid is a reference to a Sufi Guide or Master.
