And if, my friend, you ask me the way,
I'll tell you plainly, it is this:

to turn your face toward the world of life,
and turn your back on rank and reputation;

and, spurning outward prosperity, to bend
your back double in his service;

to part company with those who deal in words,
and take your place in the presence of the wordless...

Hizb ul Bahr Imam Shadhili ra

  The Imam Shadhili said; about the Hizb ul Bahr By God, I did not utter it [the Litany of the Sea] except as it came from the Prophet of God   (s), from whose instruction I learned it. "Guard it;' he said to me, "for it contains the Ism al-'Adhim-Greatest name of God:"-  It is not recited in any place without security reigning there. If it had been with the inhabitants of Baghdad, the Tatars would not have taken the city. On his death bed Imam Shadhili  gave Naseeha-counsel to recite his Litany of the Sea (Hizb ul Bahr) often, and he said, “Teach it to your children for  the Ism al-'Adhim-Greatest name of God is in it.” Hizb ul Bahr  Bismillahir rahmanir raheem. In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate. Ya Allahu, Ya 'Aliyyu, Ya 'Adheemu, Ya Haleemu, Ya 'Aleem. Anta rabbi, wa 'ilmuka hasbi, fa ni'mar-rabbu rabbi, wa ni'mal hasbu hasbi,tan-suru man tashaa-u wa antal 'azeezur raheem. Oh, Allah!...
