Zikir, Wirid, Doa

Maulid Manqoos. This practice is particularly dear to me as it was regularly performed by my father-in-law, Mr. Farook Hussien, hafizahullah, who is one of a close student of the late almarhum Maulana Abu Bakar. Maulana Abu Bakar was a spiritual guide for many in Singapore and Malaysia. As the imam of Malabar Mosque in the 1960s, he attracted Muslims from various backgrounds through his Thursday night gatherings, which focused on praising Allah SWT. His influence extended to Indonesia, and his legacy continues to inspire many. So, what is Maulid Manqoos? Maulid Manqoos was composed by Sheikh Zainudden bin Ali bin Ahmad, also known as the First Makhdoom, an esteemed scholar from Malabar. In response to frequent outbreaks of plague, smallpox, and other calamities in the Malabar coastal regions, Sheikh Makhdoom composed this Maulid. He shortened existing Maulids and added new elements to address the specific needs of his community. Since then, it has been recited with devotion by Muslims in Kerala and beyond, especially during Rabee’ul Awwal and other special occasions. This Maulid holds a special place in the hearts of many, and I’m honored to share it here today. Let us make a dua: May Allah Subhanahu Watha-ala grant Sheikh Makhdoom, Maulana Abu Bakar, and all their followers His divine blessings and mercy. May He elevate their ranks in Jannah and make their efforts a continuous source of benefit for the ummah. May Allah also shower His blessings upon all of us—our parents, teachers, families, and fellow brothers and sisters. Ameen. ---- Uploaded by Shahib Amin from Singapore.

My name is Shahib from Singapore. In 2019, I created this podcast to share audio of recitations, wirid, and litanies, so we can all recite them wherever we are. Fast forward five years, and Alhamdulillah, it has been listened to by over half a million people. InshaAllah, as we move forward, I will be uploading more recitations and wirid from different tariqah groups, with the intention of getting closer to Allah. Thank you, and please keep me in your prayers. May Allah shower His blessings upon you and your family.
