 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

All Praise and Thanks belongs to Allh , the One Who endowed us
with wisdom and insight. The One Who Guides the hand and the
heart of him/her in whom He has planted the seeds of knowledge and
the love of His Dn. May Allh bestow Blessings and Peace on
His Beloved Envoy and last Prophet, Muammad, his family and his
Companions.

What emerged during my interaction with all the contributors of this

publication, is their deep understanding of our ethical and moral
obligations to all humanity, and the importance of moving away from
atomization of the self, towards a connection with the whole in
short to assist creation without expectation or reward. I would
however, out of gratitude, like to acknowledge the following persons:

Shaykh Ziyaad Salie of the Strand, Western Cape, South Africa,

for his transliteration of the entire text, for transcribing the Arabic,
for assisting with the translation of the Arabic, and for typesetting
the final script.

Shaykh Seraj Hendricks: Adjunct Lecturer, Department of

Religion Studies, University of Johannesburg, South Africa, and
one of the Imms of the Azzawiyah Mosque, Cape Town, South
Africa, for his insightful preface to this book.

3
 Shaykh Hassiem bin Abdullah, for helping with the translation
of the Arabic.

May Allah Bless and Reward all of the above contributors in this
world and in the Hereafter, Insh-Allh.

 PREFACE

Dhikr, or invocation, is a generic term that includes sub-categories
such as awrd and azb that are usually translated as litanies. The
terms wird and izb are often used interchangeably. There is,
however, a fine line of distinction between the two. A wird may be
any litany one chooses to recite for invocatory purposes, such as the
Asm al-usn, for example. A izb, on the other hand, has a
somewhat more restricted meaning and application. Lexically it
refers to a confederation, party, group, or band. In qir't circles it
refers to the recitation of a portion of approximately one sixtieth of
the Qurn. In the context of dhikr, however, it refers to a litany that
is designed for purposes of protection and safeguarding. An example
of this would be the izb al-Bar (Litany of the Sea) and the izb
al-Barr (Litany of the Land) of Sd Ab al-asan ash-Shdhil .

The interlinear texts colour-coded in green in this collation are

intense solicitations for protection against malicious envy, hatred,
and persecution etc. The queues to the inserted adiyah and
invocations are, moreover, provided by corresponding Qurnic
words or phrases that precede them. Srah Ysn has been described
by the Prophet Muammad as the "heart" of the Qurn. "To
everything" he said, "there is a heart; and the heart of the Qurn
is Srah Ysn" (at-Tirmidh). The purpose here is to harness the
barakah inherent in Srah Ysn as the heart of the Qurn. The

5
appeal for help, support, and Divine Grace is, as it were, directly to
the heart.
Across the centuries too, litanies and invocations have been
composed in broadly three ways:

The first type, such as the Rtib al-addd of Imm Abdullh al-
addd , is one that is composed almost exclusively of the
invocatory expressions of the Prophet himself.

The second type is that which along with Qurnic verses

and/or invocatory sayings of the Prophet includes a number
of inspirational lines provided by the author of the litany. The
previously mentioned azb of Imm ash-Shdhil are examples
of this type.

The third type is one that is largely composed of personally

inspired verses, but which contains allusions and metaphors
usually of a metaphysical nature that may not be readily
accessible to the ordinary reader or invoker. These Gnostic-type
litanies are normally considered the exclusive preserve of the
rifn. These litanies are either the result of ecstatic utterances, or
composed specifically for the Khaws or the Akha al-Khaws.
Common advice in respect of these litanies and invocations, is
that those who are advanced in their spiritual development may
engage them, and that those who are not, should adopt a position
of neutrality: "man arifa fal-yatba" goes the saying, "wa man
jahila fal-yusallim" - those who possess knowledge may follow,
and those who don't, should remain neutral. The particular
meaning intended by "neutrality" in this context means, to refrain
from ignorant condemnation of these litanies. (See the Shar

6
 izb al-Imm an-Nawaw by Ab Abdillh Muammad ibn a-
ayyib al-Fs pp 26-7, 1988: Dr al-Imm Muslim, Beirut).
Of the three types mentioned above, Ysn Falah belongs to the
second category.

In conclusion, it is well to remember that there is a symbiotic

relationship between the Qurn and the Adth of Muammad .
Recitation of the Qurn in itself may be regarded as the highest
form of dhikr. But in addition, the Prophet has left to posterity an
entire corpus of adiyah and invocatory sayings that is designed to
both enhance and revitalise the spiritual condition of the invoker, and
to improve the quality of his/her relationship with the Qurn. To
this end the celebrated scholar Imm Yay bin Sharaf al-Nawaw
dedicated an entire book called the Kitb al-Adhkr (The Book of
Invocations). To advocate a Qurn-only method of dhikr, or to
engage any other form of dhikr to the exclusion of the Qurn, is to
falsify the position and the teachings of the Prophet Muammad
himself. The Prophet, after all, is the one from whom we accept both
the Qurn and the Sunnah and both have emerged as inspired
teachings from the Divine. Ysn Falah, while predominantly
Qurnic based, stands, in its own unique way, as an integration of
both forms of dhikr.

 INTRODUCTION

In the Name of Allh, the Sublime, the Majestic, the Giver of
Knowledge and the One Who Guides His bondsmen in their search
for the One Entity, behind all the multiplicity. Peace and Blessings
on our beloved Prophet , his family, and his Companions. The
Prophet has described Srah Ysn as the heart of the Qurn
(Qalb al-Qurn). Says he : To everything there is a heart; and
the heart of the Qurn is Srah Ysn (al-Tirmidh). Most of the
scholars are in agreement that Ysn is one of the names of the
Prophet . It is also a shortened form of Y insn which means O
Mankind or O Human Being.

Ysn Falah is predominantly a izb, similar to the izb Al-Bar of

Imm assan Al-Shdhil. It is important to note that there is a fine
line of distinction between a izb and a wird. A wird is a litany used
for invoking the All-Hearing, while a izb has a more circumscribed
meaning that of calling on the All-Mighty for protection and safe-
guarding. Thus, Ysn Falah is in essence a fusion of a izb and a
wird.

The author of Ysn Falah has gracefully interspersed the verses in

the main body of Srah Ysn, with Prophetic Salutations and
invocations, creating a fluid balance and synchronization of the
entire text.

8
By reciting Ysn Falah we appeal to the All-Mighty:
to protect us against the evil eye, malicious envy, poverty and
debt; the oppressors out there, and against the temptations of the
lower nafs;
to help us surmount the difficulties we are experiencing on a daily
basis in our lives;
to cure any physical or spiritual illnesses;
to drive away from us any misfortune or grief; and most
importantly,
to purify our souls and place love in our hearts for the entire
Created Order.

Forming an integral part of this collation, are six yt, which the
author has placed at the end. These yt, in the main, extol and
refer:
to Allhs Decree;
to Him as a Protector and a Wakl;
to Him as a Merciful and Forgiving God;
to the fact that all sustenance for us and for the entire Created
Order comes from Him; and that,
He has Power over everything (in the Heavens and on earth).

For the Qurnic translations, we have opted for The Holy Qurn
by Yusuf Ali, The Noble Qurn by Drs Muhammad Al-Hill and
Muhsin Khan and The Qurn by Mawlana Whiduddn Khan. In
order to make it easy for readers from any part of the world to read
the transliteration of the Arabic, we have used, in the main, the
Encyclopedia of Islam (New Edition) with minor adjustments. This
publication has pertinent end-notes, and also non-pertinent end-notes
and a glossary. These have been inserted in an effort to explain the
meanings of untranslatable Arabic words, Islamic concepts and

9
Qurnic quotations. Synopses of the biographies of eminent Islamic
scholars have been included in the end-notes of this book.

The translation of the Arabic into English is not intended to supplant

the former, as most of the obligatory devotions such as alh are in
Arabic, and a believing Muslim is required, according the Sharah,
to recite the alh in Arabic. The English translation is also
necessary and critical for both the non-Arabic-speaking persons and
reverts to Islm. Understanding, reflecting and acting on the
meanings contained in this collation, is more beneficial than just rote
reading of the Arabic.

It is our prayer that Allh must accept all our invocations; that He
must protect, safeguard and heal us and our families, and lead us all
to His Ridwn, Insh Allh.

 SPECIAL PROCEDURE TO BE FOLLOWED
WHEN RECITING YSN FALAH

One should strictly adhere to the special procedure when reciting

the Ysn Falah. Of importance is the date of birth of the
person one is reciting the Ysn Falah for. In the event that
his/her date of birth is not known, then Ysn Falah should be
recited for seven (7) consecutive days (or seven consecutive nights
as the case may be). It is permitted for one to recite the Ysn
Falah alone for one self or for someone else, which again must
be recited seven (7) times, and in one sitting. However, the best
and most beneficial method is for seven (7) persons to recite the
Ysn Falah, and this they will do once only.

Interspersed at certain pivotal places in the body of this collation,

are EIGHT (8) stops (pauses) marked with an X. It is here that
the person (s) that is (are) reciting the Ysn Falah, should pause,
mentioning the name of the person, his/her fathers name and
his/her date of birth.

Example: Ebrahim ibn (the son of) asan, born on 15 March

1950 or
Mariam bint (the daughter of) usain born on the 10
June 1948 etc.

A special point of note is that the seven Ysns at the beginning of

this compilation (see page 15), must be recited in its entirety (i.e. it
must be recited 7 times, and together, by each person present).

11
 THE START OF THE RECITATION

1. Recite the Kalimah Shahdah:

barakah of Srah Ysn Falah which I (we) am (are) reciting on
behalf of (mention the person's name, his/her fathers
name and his/her date of birth) that You O Allh! Through Your

THAT YOU MAY HAVE FOR THIS PERSON (OR FOR
YOURSELF), IF YOU ARE DOING IT FOR YOURSELF.

20 Then there came running,
from the farthest part of the
city, a man, saying: O my
people! Obey the Apostles.
21 Obey those who ask no
reward of you (for
themselves), and who have
themselves received
Guidance.
22 It would be unreasonable of
me not to serve Him Who
created me, and to Whom you
(all) shall be returned.
23 Shall I take (other) gods
besides Him? If (Allh) Most
Compassionate should intend
some adversity for me, of no
use whatsoever will be their
intercession for me, nor can
they save me.
24 I would indeed, if I were to
do so, be clearly erring.
25 Verily,as for me, I have faith
in the Lord of you (all). So
then, listen to me!
26 It was said: Enter the
Garden (Paradise). He said:
Oh! Would that my people
had known (what I know)!
27 That my Lord has granted
me forgiveness and has placed
me among the honoured
ones!

59 And O you who have sinned!
Separate yourselves (from the
believers) this day!
60 Did I not Command you, O
you children of Adam, that
you should not worship
Satan? For Verily, he was to
you an open enemy!
61 And that you should worship
Me (alone); that is the
Straight Path?
62 And indeed, he (Satan) lead
astray a great multitude of
you. Did you not then,
understand?
63 This is the Hell of which you
were (repeatedly) warned!
64 Enter (burn you in) the
(Fire) this day, as you
(persistently) rejected
(Truth).
65 On that Day, We shall seal up
their mouths. But their hands
will speak to Us, and their feet
will bear witness, to all that
they did.
66 And if it had been Our Will,
We could surely have wiped
out their eyes (blinded them),
then they would have run
about groping for the Path.
But then, how could they see?

67 And if it had been Our Will,
We could have transformed
them (to lifeless objects) to
remain in their places; then
they would be unable to move
about, nor would they be able
to return (to goodness).
68 And he to whom We grant a
long life, We will cause him to
be reversed (changed) in
nature (his ways). Will they
then not understand?
69 And We have not instructed
the (Prophet) in poetry, nor is
it necessary for him. This is
but a Message, and a Qurn,
making things clear;
70 That he (Muammad) or it
(the Qurn) may warn
(admonish) any (who are)
alive; and that the charge may
be proved against those who
reject (the Truth).
71 Do they not see that it is We
Who have Created among
the things which Our Hands
have fashioned cattle, which
are under their control?
O Allh! Shower Your Blessings
upon Muammad and upon the
family of Muammad, and bestow
Blessings and Peace upon them.
