PROPHETIC DUAS AND DHIKR (REST STOPS OF REMEMBRANCE)
This classroom, taught by Shaykh Basharath Alikhan, focuses on duas (supplications) from the Prophetic Sunnah that are to be recited throughout the day, such as at the time of waking, when entering the bathroom, and when leaving the home. We encourage memorizing, understanding, and reciting these duas regularly, as they are a means of reconnecting with our Lord (the Exalted) and attracting blessings into our daily routine through the Sunnah.
Shaykh Basharath and Shaykh Husain have compiled essential materials from this classroom in a pocket-sized handbook entitled, Rest Stops of Remembrance. A PDF of the booklet is available for free download or a physical copy of the text can be purchased below. Additionally, for each dua, a short video lesson along with a PDF file is provided for ease of learning.
