            Qasidat shaykh Al-bikri - 1

This night prayer is best suited for seeking protection and guard against spiritual enmity and foes. For the benefits of those who wish to recites this azkar, I have decided to include the qasidat of shaykh Al-bikri whule Hizbu bahri prayer could be found in the litany books of Tariqat Tijaniyyat.

Qasidat Al-Bikri

                        Maa arsala Rahman ao yursalu

                                    Min rahmati tashadu ao tansil

                        Fi malakutilah ao mulkihi

                                    Min kuli maa yahtas ao yashmal

                        Illla wa Ta’h Al-Mustafa abduhu

                                    Nabiyuhu mukhtaar Al-Mursal

                        Wasitat fiha wa aslu laha

                                    Yaalam a’za kulu man ya’qil

                        Waluz bihi fi kuli maa tarji

                                    Inahu Al-ma’manu wa l ma’aqil

                        Wa hut ahmal raja indahu

                                    Fa inahu Al –marjihu wa – maohil

                        Wa naadih in azimat anshabat

                                    Asfaaraha washahkhima Al-mu’dil

                        Yaa akrama khalq ala Rabihi

                                    Wa khayra man fihin bihi yusal

                        Qad masani Al-kurbu wa kam maratin

                                    Farajta karban bahduhu yuzhil

                        Fabalazi khasaka bayna l-warah

                                    Bi rutbatin anha al- hula tanzil

                        A’ajil bi izhaa lazi ashtaki

                                    Fa’in taqaqafta fama ashal

                        Wa lan tara a’jaza mini faman

                                    Lishidat aqwi wala ahmal

                        Fa anta baabu lah Ayyu amrihi

                                    Ataahu min ghayrika laa yadkhul

                        Alayka salla Lahu maa saafahat

                                    Zahra rawaabi nasmatu shama’alu

                        Musaliman maa faaha itru himaa

                                    Wa taaba minhu anudu wal mandal

                        Wa’al wa ashaab maa garadat

                                    Saajihatu amluduha mukhdil

It is in the interest of the recite of this prayer to indulge in enormous hadiya to Shaykh AbdulRhaman Al-Baradei as well as Shaykh Ahmad Tijanni (rta) in order to hasten the journey and istijabat of this dua’. More so, the best time for this prayer is late evening, midnight or early morning.

NOTE: to all non tijani murids, seek the permission of a sound shaykh of this tariqat before going ahead to recite this prayer. May Allah accept it as an act of ibadat.  AMIN.
