LITANIES OF THE SHADULIYYA: by Sheikh Abul-Hasan ash-Shaduli (Litanies of the Awliyaa (The Litanies of the Friends of Allah))

This book is a dedicated collection of authoritative litanies (aḥzāb and awrād) of the Shādhilī ṭarīqa, transmitted through its recognised masters and preserved within the living spiritual tradition of Imām Abū al-Ḥasan al-Shādhilī and his inheritors. Rooted in the Qur’an, the Prophetic Sunnah, and the principles of spiritual balance and clarity that define the Shādhilī path, these litanies have been recited for generations as means of strengthening faith, cultivating reliance upon Allah, and maintaining remembrance in the midst of daily life.The volume gathers the core daily and weekly devotions of the Shādhilī order, including well-known aḥzāb and supplications traditionally taught to disciples for protection, purification, gratitude, and steadfastness. Intended for both beginners and established murīds, this book serves as a practical companion for consistent spiritual practice, preserving the adab, rhythm, and inward orientation of the Shādhilī way.More than a manual of supplications, this work reflects the essence of the Shādhilī path itself: presence without withdrawal, remembrance without excess, and closeness to Allah through balance, sincerity, and trust. It is offered as a faithful resource for those walking the Shādhilī ṭarīqa and for readers seeking authentic devotional practices grounded in one of Islam’s most enduring spiritual lineages Read more
