In regards of the translations on my site it ' s a rough draft done by an English convert with the name of Hassan many years ago. I was with my Teacher Saif-ul-‘alm Hajji Abdul-Qaqq Bewley al-maliki Al-Darqawiyyah-Shahdili - who also is an English convert ; learnt the beginning of Sufi Tariqah from Him he follows the Path of Darqawi-Shadhili . His Shaykh is a Scots who become a Shaykh from the hand of Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Habib of Morroco who was aged 100+ at the time passed away in late 1970's.
Hajji Abdul Haqq taught me about the Noble Dala il ul Khayrat. A Friend of the Darqawi-Shadhili path gave me my first copy in the Arabic warsh style. When one of the Shaykhs Darqawi-Shadhili came to the England he gave me permission to come to Morocco, the home land of Noble Imam Jazulil(maaqm) the Author of the Book and gave me permission to record it as it read in the original style by the Shadhili Shaykh and Fuqaha–(the poor people), some I've still haven't yet done.
Then I went shop ping and a friend bought me another copy in Persian Hafs style , which most Indo-Pakistani can read. So every copy as was a gift because my heart yearn s to read the Book and not one copy did I purchase even a copy in English that was out of print at the time . W hat happen was, I went to a Dhikr- (Sufi meditation circle) and the Khalifah of Naqshabandi-Haqqani Tariqah, saw my copy and was so happy to see me with the book. T he following week he gave me a copy of the book in English. A few years later I asked the Shaykh if I could the book up in the net, He allowed me to do so.
A few years Later, I went on the lesser Pilgrimage called Ummrah, there I met the Great Qutb of Medina Shareef called Shaykh Ahmed Zakriyya, recently passed away who finally put the stamp on me and gave me 'Ijaza - a Spiritual licence/permission and gave me Authority to give other souls (people) permission to read the book.
What happen was, I met Shaykh Ahmed Zakriyya he asked me what I did for a living. I just said I uses computers (I didn't let him in about putting the book up on the net or anything of that sort) but I know, he knew, I asked for the barakah of reading the Dalalil with I'jazah, (one can read the book but the barakah is in having I'jazah because I have a Shaykh already) ever since I've found it hard and heavy to complete the Dalail, But the Shaykh didn't just stop there, he said you also have the I'jazah to give to others to read.
Suddenly I just sank in the ground, such I big noble weight was on my neck. My friend the noble Sayyid Mustapha also looked astonished who was my interpreter.
More recently In London I also perform Dhikr Shaykh Ahmed BaBikr Ahmed BaBikr. He does only Dhikr of the Dalail ul khayrat, I was invited as guest to a few mosques with Shaykh Ahmed BaBikr Ahmed BaBik, and have VHS recordings of myself and the Shaykh reading Dalail ul Khayrat in a Dhikr form in Derby that's up North in the UK. Also I met Khalifah Tauheed Tufail Al-Qadiri, al-Alawi from Canada, a friend I made o n the net and Ma'shallah finally met there, we also did dhikr together in London later, he also gave me a from his Tariqah some gift and noble book about his Tariqah.
Another Dhikr, at the same place many weeks later Shaykh Ahmed BaBikr Ahmed BaBikr, saw very happy and hugged me, and he said "my Shaykhs said what have I done in regards of dawah of Dalail-ul-Khayrat, I didn't know what to say and thought of you! And said that one of the brothers had put it up on the internet" when they heard this the Sudani Mashaykhs were very happy! Then he said "they praying for you", he hugged for a long time and thanked me, also honouring him as well in front of his Shaykhs.
Recently when Shaykh Habib Kazim Ja‘far Muhammad al-Saqqaf came to Birmingham Feb 2007 he add the Barakah 'ijaza of the Dalail-ul-Khayrat and also added Qasidah Burdah Shareef when requested and also i told him that i knew what this face looked like before i saw him. Yet there is no picture of him of him on the net or anywere else that i've seen.
And in a Dream recently i was blessed to see Grand Shaykh Abdullah Faiz Daghastani (the Shaykh of shaykh Nazim if you dont know) talking or confirming to Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani about my 'ijaza of the Dalail-ul-Khayrat and pointing to me and the Noble Beloved Sayyidina Rasul-lillah peace be upon him (rare photo of Maqam) was also present there too, Allahuakhbar.
(
Also here is the Blessed Beard of Sayyiduna Muhammad Sallallahu alayhi wasalim . see this and do Ziyarah by see thjis blessed photo you see that barakah for it by the nature of the photo)
Currently another version of Dalail-ul-Khayrat can be found on Aisha Bewley's site it ' s the Moroccan version. Also I've found the Arabic/English versions put up by http://www.algillani.org/
Note: on Ijaza:- You may be wonder why someone needs permission to read the book, its because the book can unleash a powerful Spiritual energy and the only way to control it is if one has the Hand of a Noble Sufi Masters over him and over him is Hand his Shaykh his chain goes back to the Noble Prophet Muhammad to Allah - The God and way back through to Jesus. Moses, Abraham, thorough to Adam. angels and Allah - The God ( Al - the ilah - God ). Thus one will find prayers in the Friday portion saying I call upon the Prayers of Prophet Noah, Moses, Abraham, Jesus, Muhammad Peace and blessings be upon them all, These 5 prophets are known as Ulul-al 'Azam the Might Prophets of Allah.
The some of Secrets of the Book Dalail-ul-Khayrat
All Spiritual Manuals will unleash energy when read, that energy is called Nur- Lighting Beams and Barakah –Blessings .
Allah loves his beloved and who ever loves, Allah's beloved, Allah loves them. The one you love is moist on your tongue, that is, your busy with remembering them, thus dhikr.
This effect of Nur and Barakah will be seen in the Soul world of Dreams. I've seen face of Sayyiduna Rasul-lilah peace and blessing be upon him, Sayyiduna Jesus son Mariyam Twice and well as others things in dreams.
The Book is famous for placing and more Opening a Spiritual Lights into ones heart called Ba'sirah – The Inner Eye of Heart . This is the Eye that the Prophets and Sufi Saints see with, what one would understand as a sixth sense if that easy to understand.
The aim of Ba'sirah is to open the hidden secret of Worshipping Allah taala ( its to open the Maqam of Ihsan- worshipping Allah as is you see him, it's the Maqam one gets in Heaven, but is a gift for the ones on earth, its having spiritual connection with Allah taala ) and to find the purpose to existence and to expel all worldly troubles and anxiety and to find a state a Sakina – Peace/tranquillity, which also lies in this Maqam.
Why is that so its because, Allah loves his beloved and who ever loves, Allah's beloved, Allah loves them. The one you love is moist on your tongue, that is, your busy with remembering them, thus dhikr.
And fact of the reward of 100% Guarantying powerful lighting beams of Salawat ala rasul peace and blessing be upon him, produces.
( which no other Ibadah has, because you don't know if your ibadah is accepted or not, save Salawat ala rasul peace and blessing be upon him, in a know tradition that its NEVER refused by anyone )
Combine this with all of its magnitude of formulas like ( 1000 times bless the Prophet Peace be upon him, and make this blessing until judgement day or by the number of every creature bless him 1000 times… and so forth, found in the Dalail-ul-Khayrat ) and most if not every, Salawat ala rasul peace and blessing be upon him, can be found in the Dalail-ul-Khayrat!
To a mentioned tradition, if you recite
Subhanallah- ‘adada-ma Khalaka fis-samaai
Subhanallah- ‘adada-ma Kalaka fil-ardhi
Subhanallah- ‘adada-ma Khalaka baynal Dhalik
Subhanallah- ‘adada-ma Kalaka huwa Khalik
This above tradition is Glorification to Allah talaa, with a magnitude formula reward that is (by the number of or times - x) thus it reward is great in number of rewards. The first line says Glory to Allah by the number of created things in Heaven. (how many is that then Allahu ‘alim)
Like 1000 x 100,000 or 10 x1, the fist gives million millions, but the second only gives 10. The same is true with Dua formulas.
I think I stop there because it getting a bit crazy for some people I think, but this can be found in sound traditions, but then you need to know how to apply those traditions of reciting, Salawat ala rasul peace and blessing be upon him, and to get the best results and rewards, which is best found as the book Dalail-ul-Khayrat!

Amen.
4. why read Dala'il ul-Khayrat and Durood Shareef salawat ala Rasul
The Messenger of Allah, Allah's blessings and peace be upon him, said, ‘For the one asks for blessings upon me there is a light on the Bridge, and whoever is on the Bridge from the People of Light will not be among the People of the Fire".
And he said, Allah's blessings and peace be upon him:"Whoever deliberately neglects to ask for blessings upon me has missed the path to The Garden, for the route to The Garden is barred for such a neglectful one, whereas it is open for him who asks blessings upon me".
Allah's blessings and peace be upon him:"Gabriel, peace be upon be him said,' O Muhammad, whenever someone from your nation asks for blessings upon you, seventy thousands angels bless him, and whoever is blessed by angels is one of the People of The Garden".
And he said, Allah's blessings and peace be upon him: "The more you ask for the blessings upon me, the more you will have in The Garden"
Allah's blessings and peace be upon him: "Whenever someone asks for blessings upon me, extolling my right, Allah, Mighty and Sublime is He, creates from his words an angel with wings stretching from the East to the West, with feet connected to the nethermost part of the seventh earth and a neck bent beneath The Throne. Allah, Mighty and Sublime is He, Says to him, ‘Bless My slave as he asks for blessings upon My Prophet and thereupon the angel will bless him until the Day of Resurrection".
Allah's blessings and peace be upon him:"There will come to my Pool on the Day of Resurrection nations I will only know because of their frequent asking for blessings upon me".
Allah's blessings and peace be upon him:"Whoever asks Allah to bless me, Allah will bless him ten times, and whoever asks ten times to bless me, Allah will bless him one hundred times, and whoever asks Allah one hundred times to bless me, Allah will bless him one thousand times, and whoever asks Allah to bless me one thousand times, Allah will prohibit The Fire from touching his body, his word on any matter will be made enduring in this world and the next, he will enter The Garden, on the Day of Resurrection his request for blessings upon me will be a light for him on The Bridge, a light visible at a distance of five hundred years, and Allah will grant him for every blessing upon me asked for a palace in The Garden, regardless of how many".
Allah's blessings and peace be upon him:"Whenever a slave asks for blessings upon me, his request leaves him quickly and passes over land and sea, through East and West, saying ‘I am the blessing upon Muhammad, the Chosen One, the Best of Allah's Creation, asked for by so and so' and everything asks for blessings upon him. A bird is created from these blessings with seventy thousand wings, each of which has seventy thousand feathers. Each of the feathers has seventy thousand heads on each of which are seventy thousands faces. Each face has seventy thousands mouths and in every mouth there are seventy thousand tongues. Each tongue glorifies Allah the exalted in seventy thousand languages and Allah will then write for him the reward for all of that" see Monday section of Dalail al Khayrat
