As-Salat Al-Mashishiyyah

This is a CD recording, preserved from the year 1980, of our master Shaykh Muhammad al-Jamal reciting the Prayer of Ibn Mashish. The Moroccan Sufi, Abd as-salam ibn Mashish, the master of Abu al-Hasan ash=-Shadhili, the founder of the Shadhdhuliyyah Order was the spiritual pole of the age. He died in the year 1228 on Mount al-Alam in the Rif Mountains. His tomb on the summit of this mountain is one of the most venerated places of pilgrimage in the whole of the Maghrib. Only one text by him remains, the famous prayer on the Prophet, may the Prayers and peace of Allah be upon him, which is recited in all the communities of the Shadhdhuliyyah and contains the doctrine of al-insan al-kamil. Our Guide Sidi Shaykh Muhammad sayus that this is the prayer for the opening of the soul to drink directly from the secrets of al-jabarut.
