The Muslim citadel

The Muslim's Citadel is one of the most important works of reference for Muslims around the world. In fact, it plays an essential role in their daily lives, as it contains numerous invocations to be uttered every day. It helps you maintain the bond between you and Allah by encouraging you to make dhikr.

What is the Muslim's citadel?

It's a small pocket-sized book of invocations taken from the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Despite its compact size, it's packed with valuable knowledge from the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

This book fulfills several missions. Firstly, it reminds believers of the importance of invocations. Indeed, invoking Allah is one of the devotional works He loves most, provided it is exclusive to Him.

The Muslim's Citadel is also aimed at all members of the Muslim community. Indeed, the numerous Muslim editions have published several different versions. Some are even suitable for children.

Its pocket format means you can carry it with you at all times. So you can use it wherever you are to say the lawful invocations.

Last but not least, it contains dou'as drawn from reliable sources. So when you invoke Allah through this Islamic booklet, you'll be doing so in the same way as Allah's messenger and the salaf salih.

How to use the Muslim citadel

This book accompanies you throughout the day. You'll find morning and evening invocations, as well as others adapted to different situations (before eating, while traveling, etc.). Some versions also contain reminders that are beneficial to your faith.
