NOTE
This is a very special prayer of praise that was inspired to Mawlana Shaykh-al-Islam Ibrahim Niasse (RA) from the Divine Presence, in which our Creator Most High is praised from different angles and at various levels of the Divine Manifestation.
It is for this reason that Shaykh Ibrahim (RA) aptly named it as Majami’ al-Hamd i.e. The Most Comprehensive of Praises or The Combination of all Praises.
It may be recited any time of the day and the night with the sole intention of praising Our Creator Most High!
