Description

One of the most popular of all Muslim prayer books. Compiled in Morocco during the fifteenth century, this daily devotional text is still used both for private prayer and for recitation at public ceremonies. The text includes the ninety-nine beautiful names of God (Allah), prayers, invocations, poetic blessings dedicated to the Prophet Muhammad, a description of his tomb at Medina, and a litany of honorary names illuminating the Prophet's qualities.
