HIZB UL BAHR-FROM SHADHILI TARIQA SECRET DUA FOR WISHES AND RELEIEF The Imam Shadhili said; about the Hizb ul Bahr By God, I did not utter it [the Litany of the Sea] except as it came from the Prophet of God (s), from whose instruction I learned it. "Guard it;' he said to me, "for it contains the Ism al-'Adhim-Greatest name of God:"- It is not recited in any place without security reigning there. If it had been with the inhabitants of Baghdad, the Tatars would not have taken the city. On his death bed Imam Shadhili gave Naseeha-counsel to recite his Litany of the Sea (Hizb ul Bahr) often, and he said, “Teach it to your children for the Ism al-'Adhim-Greatest name of God is in it.”

[Note 1] Faqadib tuliyal mu'minoona wa zulzilu zilzalan shadeedan. Wa idh "yaqulul munafiquna wal-ladheena fi qulubihim maradun ma wa'adanallahu wa rasuluhu illa ghurura." And “truly have the believers been tested and shaken, shaken severely

and if the hypocrites and those with doubting hearts say: Allah and His Messenger did not promise us other than delusion” (Surah Ahzab 33:11-12), [Note 2] [Point.1 Upon reciting shadeedan point with your right index finger (Shahadah finger) toward the sky ] Fa thibbitna wan-surna wa sakh-khir lana hadhal bahr, kama sakh-khartal bahra li Musa, wa sakh-khartan nara li Ibrahim.

Wa bahrad-dunya, wa bahral akhira. Wa sakh-khir lana kulla shay-in ya man bi yadihi malakutu kulli shay. And subjugate to us every sea of Yours on the Earth, in the Skies, the Dominions and the Heavenly Realm. And the Sea of this world and the Sea of the World to come. And subjugate to us everything, Oh! You in Whose Hand is the dominion over everything. Kaaf Haa Yaa 'Ain Saad. Kaaf Haa Yaa 'Ain Saad. Kaaf Haa Yaa 'Ain Saad.

And open for us, for You are the best of those who open. And forgive us, for You are the best of Forgivers. And have mercy upon us, for You are the best of those who Show Mercy. And provide for us, for You are the best of Providers. [Point.3 When you read Kaaf, Haa, Yaa, 'Ain, Saad, with your right hand close your small finger 1st with by reciting Kaaf and close, 2nd next finger by reciting Haa and close, 3rd finger by reciting Yaa and close, 4th by reciting 'Ain and close, 5th thumb by reciting Saad and close, you now have a closed fist.(1st reading) Now open as you closed with small finger 1st by reciting Kaaf open, 2nd next finger by reciting Haa open, 3rd finger by reciting Yaa open, 4th by reciting 'Ain open, 5th thumb by reciting Saad open.(2nd reading) 3rd time close small finger 1st by reciting Kaaf and close, 2nd next finger by reciting Haa and close, 3rd finger by reciting Yaa and close, 4th by reciting 'Ain and close, 5th thumb by reciting Saad and close, you now have a closed again.(3rd reading) Then 1st.

And guide and deliver us from the People of Oppression. And grant us a fair wind according to Your Knowledge and waft it upon us from the Treasures of Your Mercy. Carry us by the conveyance of Your Generosity with Peace in our lives in this world & in the world to come “over all things You have power”(3:26)[Note 7] Allahumma yassir lana umurana ma'arrahati li qulubina wa abdanina was-salamati wal 'afiyati fi dunyana wa deenina.

Make easy for us our situations/tasks with rest for our hearts and our bodies; and peace and well-being in our spiritual and worldly lives and be to us our Companion in our journey and the Guardian of our family. Efface the faces of our enemy. Freeze them in their places so that they are unable to go or to come against us. “If We willed We would have wiped out their eyes, then they would have raced to the Way, but how would they have seen? And if We willed, We would have frozen them in their places, neither could they go forth or could they return” (36:66-67).[Note 7a] [Point.4 Upon reading umurana-Make easy for our affairs/tasks think in your heart deeply your need and task that you would like to made easy for you, maybe a job interview, maybe a marriage proposal, or financial purpose, maybe some troublesome person is causing you issues in life or work, put the object for which this dua-(meaning the Hizb ul Bahr) is being read for in your heart and think about it, focus and make niyyah when you say the word 'umurana-Make easy for our tasks'and simply place that task to be made easy into your heart, or picture it happening in your heart when you say the word umurana. Know that niyyah-intention is energy and has a direction and movement and flow. And niyyah has a vibration or resonance or echoing and it maintains its momentum by the leve of intention from our souls and heart and when the words of a niyyah are said they travel and start to transform into action ] [Point.5 Upon reciting the word (Wujuhi-faces) closed your right hand into a fist and shake it up and down to the ground and release if facing ground. Thus 'efface the faces of our enemy,' efface means to obliterate, to wipe out; do away with; expunge: to efface or erase one's unhappy memories. to rub out, erase. And is a methaphor for a man's honour, another way it could be seen as is, 'Wipe out/destroy the faces or honour of our enemy'. For a dishonoured or disgraced face is below you and a head with a body is useless and powerless ] "Ya seen. Wal Qur'aanil hakeem. Innaka laminal mursaleen. 'Ala siratim-mustaqeem.

Wa ja'alna mim-bayni aydihim saddaw-wa min khalfihim saddan fa-agh shaynahum fahum la yubsiroon." “Ya-Seen, By the Qur’an, full of wisdom. You are indeed among the Messengers. On a straight way. Sent down by the All-Powerful, the Merciful. So that you may warn a people whose forefathers received no admonition and who therefore remain heedless. The Word has been proved true against the greater part of them, for they do not believe. Behold, We have placed yokes around their necks so that their heads are forced up. And We have placed in front of them a barrier and behind them a barrier and further, We have covered them up: so that they do not see” (36:1-9). Shaahatil wujooh. Shaahatil wujooh. Shaahatil wujooh. May their faces be deformed! May their faces be deformed! May their faces be deformed! [Note 8] [Point.6 Upon reciting the on word ('Shaahatil wujooh'-May their faces be deformed) slap the ground with your left hand. 3 times. with each recitation think in your heart of your enemies that they be destroyed. and strike the ground, and understanding is with the back of your right hand each time. however there is another understanding of using the left hand with the palm hitting the floor each of the 3 times and each with reciting Shaahatil wujooh'-May their faces be deformed.- Again see point 5. about the meaning of faces be deformed and disgraced meaning powerless] "Wa 'anatil wujoohu lil hayyil qayyumi wa qad khaba man hamaladhulma." “Faces shall be humbled before the Living, the Self-Subsistent. Indeed will fail, the one who has evil within him” (20:111). "Ta seen. Ha meem. 'Ain seen qaaf." Tah-Seen; Tah-Seen-Meem; Ha-Meem-‘Ain-Seen-Qaf.
