An elegant illuminated Arabic-English edition of Mulla ‘Ali al-Qari’s celebrated Supreme Daily Remembrance and the Noble Litany (Al-Hizb al-A’zam wa ’l-Wird al-Afkham)
£25.00 £19.99
The Supreme Daily Remembrance and the Noble Litany (Al-Hizb al-A’zam wa ‘l-Wird al-Afkham) is a beautifully organized and comprehensive collection of invocations drawn from the Qur’an and Prophetic Sunna. Its wide range leaves uncovered hardly any area of worldly and otherworldly concern, and a complete reading might well put before Allah just about everything one would need in both this life and the next.
This work’s acceptance is plainly visible in the multitudes of devotees who recite it regularly around the world. A lot of attention has been paid to it, from commentaries and translations to abridgements and rearrangements.
Though a number of illuminated copies exist in manuscript, no illuminated edition had become available in print. White Thread Press published an illuminated Arabic edition in 2015. For an important book of prayers such as this, illumination provides an aesthetic touch that pleases the eye and enhances the reader’s spiritual engagement with the text.
The English Translation
Since the publication of the original Arabic edition, public recitals (maqra’as) of the entire collection in a single sitting have been held in various cities around the world. These are usually followed by an authorisation ceremony for the attendees. It has inspired many people to become regular readers of the book.
As readers have discovered the merits of this comprehensive litany, the demand had grown for an English translation to fully appreciate and understand the prayers. Therefore, White Thread Press now presents the collection in a bilingual edition, with the Arabic text and facing English translation in an easy to read and visually appealing format.
No effort has been spared in preparing this edition to bring about immense joy and pleasure for its readers.
This deluxe edition of The Supereme Daily Remembrance (Al-Hizb al-A’zam) comes in three different faux leather covers:
All editions include gold gilding on page edges.
A limited number of hand bound genuine leather cover copies with gilded edges in green and red were also produced. Please email us about these.
The Al-Hizb al-A‘zam wa ’l-Wird al-Afkham of Mulla ‘Ali al-Qari is, as the name rightly suggests, a supremely beautiful and beneficial litany of supplications from the Qur’an and hadith. It encompasses most, if not all, of the best known and loved prayers of Muslims, divided into convenient 15 to 30 minute sessions for each day of the week. It would be impossible to overstate how important these prayers can be to a person’s devotion life. White Thread Press has now published it in a design and book form that is worthy of its content. I know of no more beautiful book published in the twenty-first century—it is the equal of Nuh Keller’s edition of Dalail al-Khayrat, and TJ Winter’s edition of the Burda.

This is a book of immense benefit. Every Muslim would greatly benefit from reading and studying it. I have myself started to read it, and all praise is for Allah.
Imam of Masjid al-Aqsa, Jerusalem
Mulla ‘Ali ibn Sultan Muhammad al-Qari, more popularly known as Mulla ‘Ali al-Qari, was an ascetic, hadith scholar, jurist, theologian, exegete, heresiographer, calligrapher, hajj specialist, philologist, logician and author of what has been hailed as the most comprehensive Arabic commentary on the Mishkat al-Masabih, entitled Mirqat al-Mafatih.
He is also famous for his commentary on Al-Fiqh al-Akbar, called Minah al-Rawd al-Azhar (Gifts of the Blooming Gardens). Qari was born in Herat, Afghanistan, where he received his primary years of Islamic education. Thereafter, he moved to Makka, where he studied under numerous scholars, including Shaykh Ahmad ibn Hajar al-Haytami al-Makki and Qutb al-Din al-Hanafi. He was called Al-Qari, “The Reciter,” because of his mastery of the science of Qur’anic recitation. Mulla ‘Ali al-Qari remained in Makka, where he taught until his death in 1014/1606. His written works include a two-volume commentary on Qadi ‘Iyad’s Al-Shifa’ (The Cure); and a two-volume commentary on Imam Ghazali’s abridgment of the Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din (The Revival of the Religious Sciences), entitled ‘Ayn al-’Ilm wa Zayn al-Hilm (The Spring of Knowledge and the Adornment of Understanding).

Alhamdulillah a truly blessing to recite each portion daily and now to understand the arabic is quite amazing. Great work by Mufti Abdur-Rahman DB, May Allah bless him & everyone involved in the work taken to bring the translation to life. This kitaab is a must.
Amazing dua book, covers almost every dua a person can think of.
Beautifully designed - the print and binding is of pristine quality.
I humbly recommend to watch Mufti Abdurrahman Mangera’s introduction to this book on YouTube as it helps give a deeper insight into the book and the author.
I have the new version and the last Arabic only version if read daily which after a few months one becomes quite fluent now with translation is a added bonus
Print and binding is of the highest quality and reciting is a pleasure
Only thing I could say is the translation is of very high standard of English for a lay person to grasp so maybe a few sessions of commentary online of the book by mufti saheb would make it even more spiritually enhanced for a lay person I recommend people to buy this gem of a kitab for yourself and gift it to others it will be a good investment for akhirah
Subhan Allah! I love this book (the design and colors, even the side-by-side Arabic and English) and read it everyday, and I recommend everyone to read it everyday. This book helps us to grow closer to Allah and attain taqwa, and to be mindful of our actions in this world. May Allah bless those behind this book. Ameen.
I cannot praise this book enough. Beautiful Duas, extremely beautiful print and highest quality of paper and workmanship blended with amazing translation on the adjoining page so that you can easily glance across without significantly interrupting your litany and Duas.

A beautiful piece of art. Great attention to the fine details in terms of text, translation and layout.
May Allah accept the efforts of those who took part in this monumental masterpiece.
I would really love to have purchased more copies to gift each of my family members- though I'd have to wait until I financially can.
Without doubt one of the most elegant published books to date.
Top quality on all materials used, clearest of fonts and pages, love the small elegant details, alhumdullilalh for everything, 100% recommend purchasing this kitaab and let the zikr of the Almighty illuminate your heart
A very aesthetically impressive book to read from. Beautifully translated. The English translation and the Arabic are side to side which makes it easy to follow the Arabic and check the translation. The duas are beautiful. Jazakallah khairan for making this collection of duas more accessible.
Excellent title, the translation helps to understand what is read in Arabic. I have taken it to Umrah with me too!
