Shaykh Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi, a descendent Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is a world-renowned Syrian scholar of Islamic jurisprudence, hadith, and theology. He is widely recognised as one of the most influential Muslim leaders in the world; with his speeches, classes, and books having impacted thousands of lives for the better.

Composed in the 15th century by the Moroccan scholar of Prophetic decent, Muhammad Sulaymān al-Jazūlī al-Shādhilī, Dalāʾil al-Khayrāt was the first major work to compile litanies of peace and blessings for the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Al-Jazūlī was inspired to pen the book after seeing a girl miraculously cause a well to overflow enabling him to perform his ablution. When he questioned how she did this, she revealed that the secret was a constant invocation of blessings and peace upon the best of creation, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Among some spiritual orders, its recitation has endured as a daily practice for over five centuries.

After the earthquake of the night before, Shaykh Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi and the people of Marrakesh came together the next day to recite the Dalāʾil al-Khayrāt at the Maqam of the great Saint Al-Jazūlī and pray.
