Reading and translation notes
Every Arabic line is followed by its italicized transliteration and then its English translation. A repetition count applies to the complete formula ending at that count, even when the formula spans several groups of lines. The short surahs have their own recitation instructions. Each closing Fātiḥah cue refers to the complete opening surah.
The Arabic has been fully vocalized for connected reading, including grammatical endings. Normal pause forms apply when stopping. Long vowels and silent letters follow ordinary Arabic spelling; the Qur’anic passages use readable imlāʾī spelling rather than a facsimile of muṣḥaf orthography. Line divisions and punctuation are reading aids. The source’s occasional shifts between “his ancestors” and “their descendants” have been retained.
This is a fresh English translation of the Arabic, including the Qur’anic passages. “Allah” is retained throughout; al-Raḥmān and al-Raḥīm are rendered “the All-Merciful” and “the Ever-Merciful.” Kursī is translated “Seat,” with the Arabic retained because its interpretation is discussed in Qur’anic commentary. Laṭīf, rendered “Most Gentle,” also conveys subtle awareness and care.
In the closing prayers, quṭb is rendered “spiritual axis,” ghawth as “a source of aid,” asrār as “spiritual mysteries,” and futūḥ as “spiritual openings.” Al-Faqīh al-Muqaddam means “the foremost jurist”; al-Ḥabīb is the honorific “the beloved.” The elliptical “O Allah, grant it to us” is read in light of the following request for a good end to life. These are translation choices, not additions to the Arabic.
Source and scope
The complete Arabic sequence follows Khulāṣat al-Madad al-Nabawī, compiled by Habib Umar bin Muhammad bin Hafiz: printed pp. 110–119 (PDF pp. 106–115). It includes Qur’an 2:284, fifty repetitions of the tahlīl, the five Fātiḥah dedications printed in that edition, and the explicitly marked post-Ratib additions. The later passage mentioning “either of the two Ratibs” is reproduced as printed.
The two supplied PDFs were used for comparison. The expanded Fātiḥah conclusion includes later additions, as explained by Habib Umar in the Muwasala answer linked below; not every concluding dedication is attributed here to Imam al-Haddad. The English wording in this document is an independent translation, not an official translation issued by the source publisher.
