Abwab al-Faraj - The Doors to Relief

The Doors to Relief

A Translation of Abwāb al-Faraj by Shaykh Muḥammad ʿAlawī al-Mālikī

For centuries, believers have looked to the Qur’an and sacred supplications during times of fear, illness, grief, uncertainty, and hardship. The Doors to Relief compiles these spiritual treasures into a single, powerful devotional book, providing spiritual remedies based on the Qur’an, the teachings of the Prophet ﷺ, and the practices of the righteous.

Compiled by the renowned Meccan scholar Shaykh Muḥammad ʿAlawī al-Mālikī, this beloved classic contains prayers for relief from anxiety, debt, sickness, oppression, spiritual darkness, and life’s many trials, alongside chapters on the virtues of dhikr, Sūrah Yāsīn, Āyat al-Kursī, Sūrah al-Wāqiʿah, the Divine Names, and more.

More than a collection of supplications, this is a companion for difficult times, a book that revives hope, strengthens reliance upon Allah, and reconnects the heart to remembrance and prayer.
