Hisnul Muslim Urdu (Pocket Size)

Hisnul Muslim (حصن المسلم, Fortress of the Muslim) is the best known pocket book of daily duas and adhkar, compiled by Shaykh Said bin Ali bin Wahf Al-Qahtani from the Quran and the authentic Sunnah. This Darul Andlus edition gives each dua in Arabic with its Urdu translation by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad and the reference for the narration. It is a 160 page pocket size book (12x17 cm) that fits in a jacket pocket or a handbag, so the right dua is always at hand.

What is inside Hisnul Muslim

The duas are arranged by the moments of the day and the situations of life, so you can turn straight to the one you need:

• Daily routine: waking up, getting dressed, entering and leaving the home, the toilet and the masjid.
• Salah: wudu, the adhan, the opening dua, ruku, sujood, tashahhud and the adhkar after salah.
• Morning and evening adhkar and the duas before sleeping.
• Hardship and protection: duas for worry, grief, distress, fear, illness and debt, and for protection from Shaytan.
• Travel, food and family: duas for travelling, eating and drinking, marriage, visiting the sick and a death in the family.
• Istikhara, forgiveness and Hajj: the dua of istikhara, Sayyid ul Istighfar, and the duas of Hajj and Umrah.

Why it is so widely used

Shaykh Al-Qahtani kept to duas that can be traced to the Quran and sound hadith, and he kept the wording short, so the book is easy to learn from by heart. It has been translated into many languages and is one of the most widely distributed dua books in the world. In this Urdu edition, Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad's translation stays close to the Arabic while remaining easy to read.
