"O Allah, You are our Protector. Grant us victory over the disbelieving people. O Allah, defeat the confederates and shake the ground beneath their feet. Send upon them Your wrath and send down upon us Your patience. There is no god but You, Glorified are You. Indeed, I have been among the wrongdoers. O Allah, we place You between us and our enemies, so protect us from them."

Imam Abdullah ibn Alawi al-Haddad (d. 1720) is widely considered the "reviver" (Mujaddid) of his century and a pivotal figure in the Shafi'i Sufi tradition. He is known for compiling litanies (awrad) that are concise yet deeply profound.
While Imam al-Haddad is famously associated with Wird al-Latif and Ratib al-Haddad, Hizb al-Nasr is distinct. It is specifically designed as a supplication for divine assistance, victory over enemies (both external and internal), and relief from distress. Note: There is sometimes scholarly discussion regarding whether this specific Hizb was written by Imam al-Haddad or simply popularized by him, but in popular practice, it is firmly attributed to his methodology and spiritual authority.
According to traditional Ba'Alawi teaching, the Hizb Nasr is best recited under specific conditions:
Critics may ask: Is Hizb Nasr Imam Haddad an innovation (bid'ah)? Orthodox Sunni scholarship (Shafi'i and Hanbali schools) distinguishes between bid'ah dalala (harmful innovation) and bid'ah hasana (praiseworthy innovation). Litanies like Hizb Nasr are categorized as wasilah (means) permissible because they are composed entirely of Qur'anic verses, authentic hadith, or formal invocations of Allah's names.
Furthermore, the litany comes with an unbroken chain (sanad) of transmission from Imam al-Haddad through the Ba'Alawi ulama down to contemporary teachers in Tarim, Yemen. This isn't a folk invention; it is a standardized spiritual technology.
In 2024 and beyond, the Muslim world faces a crisis of despair. From geopolitical oppression to personal existential dread, the Hizb Nasr is screamingly relevant.
Imam al-Haddad did not promise that reciting Hizb Nasr would make you a military general. He promised that it would attune your heart to the Will of Allah, and when Allah wills victory for you—whether in this world or the next—nothing can stand in your way.
Hizb al-Nasr is more than a prayer; it is a spiritual strategy. Imam al-Haddad gave his followers a tool to fight the invisible war—the war against fear, despair, and injustice. For anyone feeling besieged by life’s difficulties, turning to this litany with a sincere heart is to pick up a sword that never dulls.
May Allah grant us victory in all that is good, and may the blessings of Imam al-Haddad’s legacy continue to illuminate hearts. Ameen.
