Vision of Reality Booksellers are privileged and honoured to offer you
a unique opportunity
to obtain a strictly limited deluxe edition of
the most authentic edition of the most famous book of Blessings
upon the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and give him peace,
the magnificent, Dala’il al-Khayrat.
This new printing brings to a close a monumental project that has spanned the length and breadth of three continents and taken countless months of painstaking work. This project brought together one of the leading calligraphers in the world, two renowned illuminators, the finest bookbinder and a team of researchers who traversed the annals of the leading Islamic libraries. Under the supervision and direction of the leading authority on the traditional Islamic sciences Sheikh Nuh Ha Mim Keller, they have produced the most authentic edition of a book on one of the most central acts of worship in Islam: the Blessings (salawat/durood) on the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace)
"Sending Blessings on the Prophet is the most central act of worship in Islam..."
Dala’il al-Khayrat is unquestionably the most
celebrated manual of Blessings on the Prophet (Allah bless him and
give him peace) in history. From the time of its authorship in fifteenth-century Fez by
the Moroccan Shadhili sheikh Muhammad al-Jazuli (d. 870/1465), it
swept throughout the whole of the Islamic World from North Africa to Indonesia. Countless millions of copies have been in circulation over the centuries with scarcely
a well-to-do home in the Muslim heartlands being without one. Princes
exchanged magnificent copies of it, commoners treasured it, pilgrims
wore it at their side on the way to hajj, and baraka descended wherever
it was recited, in accordance with the Divine command: 
Labour of love
Sheikh Nuh has worked tirelessly and has succeeded in setting the benchmark for future editions of the book.
The whole of this project from initiation to completion is result of the labour of love of Sheikh Nuh Ha Mim Keller, who has worked tirelessly in every aspect of the work. Where else can one find someone who has spent time and energy just deciding on the quality of paper to be printed on, the shade of ink to be used on the page borders, having the whole work written by hand by the best calligrapher available?
Sheikh Nuh has succeeded in bringing brilliance and diversity together in what has become the benchmark by which future editions of the book will be judged.
Strictly Limited Deluxe Presentation Box
To celebrate the printing of the new edition of the Dala’il al-Khayrat a special strictly limited deluxe edition of the book has been prepared in a purposely crafted presentation box. This continues the long standing tradition of producing copies of the Dalail of breathtaking beauty. Some of the most expensive and sought after Islamic manuscripts aside from the Koran are of the Dalail. Craftsmen, bookbinders and designers have under Sheikh Nuh's guidance, reached unscaled heights of sheer excellence of workmanship to produce these presentation boxes which are nothing short of being modern day works of art, crafted in the traditional manner of Islamic arts which now grace the collections of museums the world over.
'Presentation boxes are a sheer work of art defining traditional Islamic craftsmanship...'
Whilst keeping in mind the rigorously authenticated hadith from Sahih al-Muslim in which the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said "Allah is beautiful and loves beauty" Sheikh Nuh and his team have produced a modern classic. Some of the features are:
- Printed on premium calligraphic paper from Turkey
- Deluxe editions gilded in gold
- Presentation boxes individually handmade using only the finest raw materials
- Highest grade of oak was selected for the task
- Solid brass fittings

on the Holy Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace)
