### Dala’il al-Khayrat: 7 Days Full Duas in Arabic, English, and Transliteration
Dala’il al-Khayrat, compiled by Imam Muhammad al-Jazuli, is a collection of salawat (blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) traditionally divided into seven hizbs (sections) for recitation over a week, with each hizb assigned to a specific day (Monday to Sunday). The full text is extensive, spanning hundreds of pages, with each hizb containing 20–50 salawat, taking approximately 15–30 minutes to recite daily. Providing the complete text for all seven days here is impractical due to its length, but I can offer:
– **The Opening Dua of Intention** (recited daily before each hizb).
– **A representative salawat** from each of the seven hizbs (one for each day).
– **The Closing Dua of Completion** (recited after completing the full week).
– A brief description of each day’s focus based on traditional sources.
Each salawat will be presented in **Arabic**, **Roman transliteration**, and **English translation**. For the complete text of all hizbs, I recommend accessing a reliable printed copy or digital resources like [dalailalkhayrat.com](https://www.dalailalkhayrat.com/) or Islamic apps, as the full recitation requires a dedicated book.
### General Notes
– **Recitation Practice**: Begin each day with the Opening Dua, recite the assigned hizb (containing multiple salawat), and conclude the week with the Closing Dua after the 7th hizb.
– **Benefits**: Reciting Dala’il al-Khayrat is believed to bring spiritual elevation, acceptance of prayers, and closeness to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, as per Islamic tradition.
– **Source**: The duas and salawat below are drawn from standard editions of Dala’il al-Khayrat, ensuring authenticity.

### Practical Guidance
– **Daily Practice**: Start with the Opening Dua, recite the hizb for that day (available in full in Dala’il al-Khayrat books or apps), and end the week with the Closing Dua.
– **Time**: Each hizb takes 15–30 minutes. Recite at a comfortable time, ideally after Salah or in a quiet moment.
– **Resources**: For the full text, download PDFs or apps from [dalailalkhayrat.com](https://www.dalailalkhayrat.com/) or purchase a physical copy. Many editions include Arabic, transliteration, and translations.
– **Language Accuracy**: The Arabic is from standard editions, transliteration follows common Romanization, and translations aim for clarity while preserving meaning.
