CATALOGUE NOTE Dala’il al-Khayrat reflect the spontaneous composition of salawat, the blessings and praise upon the Prophet, composed directly from the heart of a prominent Sufi master, Imam Al-Jazuli (died 1465). The composition has become an important prayer book in its native land, Morocco, which has also spread across the breadth of the Islamic lands. Today, Dala’il al-Khayrat is celebrated as the most acclaimed source on the salawat upon the Prophet Mohammad. Dala’il al-Khayrat has for centuries inspired calligraphers, illuminators and painters of court ateliers in producing sumptuous prayer manuscripts, which reflect the distinctive designs of various Islamic dynasties. These manuscripts uncover the story behind the text appreciation by patrons and calligraphers, and to bring to light the skills as well as the techniques of the craftsmen. The tradition of reciting the salawat of Dala’il al-Khayrat in public and private gatherings continues until today.
