Al-Du’a al-Nasiri Part 1
About The Prayer of the Oppressed:
The power of this prayer of Imam Muhammad al-Dar’i lies in its simplicity, its purity, and its sincere supplication. It is essentially a plea to God that our transgressions be overlooked, that divine mercy be bestowed upon us, that social justice be restored in spite of us, that wrongs be righted, and that righteousness reign once again in our lands, so that the destitute may no longer be in need, the young may be educated, the animals’ purpose fulfilled, rain restored, and bounties poured forth. It is a plea to be freed from the aggression of foreigners in lands over which they have no right – a plea much needed in our modern world, rampant as it is with invasions and territorial occupations. Ultimately, it asks not that our enemies be destroyed, but simply that their plots, and the harm they cause, be halted. Its essence is mercy, which in turn is the essence of the Messenger of God, Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him: “And We have only sent you as a mercy to all the worlds.”
This highly potent du'a by the renowned Sufi Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Nasir, was recited across Morocco and inspired resistance to the French Occupation. So powerful was it that the French President had to issue an order banning its recitation from the mosques. Moroccans date the movement to return King Muhammad from that outlawing of the du'a. It is appropriate to the present state of the 'Umma.

Qasidah al-Munfarijah The Poem of Relief -recited against Oppressers
by Algerian Sufi Master Sidi Ibn al-Nahwi
Qasidah al-Munfarijah
About the Author Ibn al-Nahwi He is Yusuf bin Muhammad bin Yusuf, Abul Fadl known as Ibn al-Nahwi al-Tawzari. He was born in Tawzar in the southern Yunisa in the year 1042 Hijri. He studied with a number of the scholars of his time not least the jurists (fuqaha) such as Abul Hasan al-Lakhami, his Shaykh al-Ma%u2019zari and likewise al-Shaqratasi.
After Abul Fadl completed his travels in the pursuit of knowledge he returned to his hometown of Tawzar, but had to leave it due to the oppression of the ruler of that place. He therefore lived in different cities of Algeria and Morrocco teaching grammar, jurisprudence, principles of law, tenents of faith whilst at the same time traversing the path of self purification and abstinence.
His students included Qadi Musa bin Hammad al-Sanhaji, Abu Muhammad Abdullah bin Suleiman al-Taharti and Ibn al-Ramamah the Mufti of Fes.
He was known for his piety and became well known for his mastery of jurisprudence. Along with this efficacy of his supplications (dua) was attested to such that it was said by some: I seek refuge in Allah from the supplication of Ibn al-Nahwi!
The Story of Qasidah al-Munfarijah
After his leaving his hometwon of Tawzar he headed towards Algeria and stayed in the Masjid of Bani Hammad in Masaylah.
A man there complained to him of his suffering from his having to flee from the oppressor of his homeplace and requested him to raise the issue with the oppressor so that he may permit him to return.
The ruler saw a dream which troubled him and resulted him in halting his acts of oppression whilst admitting to his sins. He instructed that this mans wealth be returned because he saw in his dream the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) who said: Send to Abul Fadl bin al-Nahwi in the masjid known as such in Algeria, and carry out what he orders. The Khalifah did this and sent someone in search of him.
When he entered and found him he said: What is your need O Abul Fadl? He infomed him of his order and wrote for him to return of all that he had been informed about.
Then he was asked: What is yor means with the Messenger of Allah? He then informed him of his poem.
