Supplicating for the philanthropist

An individual reported that he read that a pious precedent Shaikh use to recite the name of the grand Shaikh of his tariqa eleven times each day in the morning. Most likely this was in a form of supplication which the narrator accidentally omitted to mention. Since then that individual made a routine to supplicate every day mentioning the name of sayyidi wa sanadi Shaikh Mufti Taqi Usmani (Allah preserve him) eleven times. It was like this,

1. O Allah! Protect Shaikh Mufti Mohammad Taqi Usmani db.

2. O Allah! Give Shaikh Mufti Mohammad Usmani db a long, healthy and productive life.

3. O Allah! Give barakah in Mufti Mohammad Taqi Usmani db’s time, work and effort.

    Subhanallah. Ajeeb, to think of his tawadu’. Of all things Hadrat db asked for du’a for islah. This also shows how important islah is. May Allah ta’ala protect Hadrat Mufti sahib db. Amin to all the above mentioned du’as as well.

    Assalamualaikum wrbr,

    Jazaak Allah for sharing this. This is very beneficial. Some of the prayers were included in my daily supplication after every fardh salah, will now try to recite all these inshAllah.

    May Allah SWT accept all these supplication for our beloved Shaikh. Aameen
