The Goodly Word Ibn Taymmiyah

“The Goodly Word” (Al-Kalim at-Tayyib) is a vital collection of authentic prayers and supplications (Dua and Adhkar) compiled by the formidable 14th-century scholar Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah. Translated by Ezzeddin Ibrahim (along with Denys Johnson-Davies), this work draws exclusively from the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), offering prescribed words of remembrance and prayer for nearly every situation in a Muslim’s daily life—from waking up and sleeping to facing illness or traveling. It is highly valued for its meticulous selection of material and is often presented in a bilingual Arabic-English edition to ensure the preservation and proper recitation of the original sacred texts.
