Hizbul Bahr (Arabic: حِزْبُ الْبَحْرِ) by Imam Abul Hasan ash-Shadhili

The Hizbul Bahr itself consists mostly of Quranic verses and Prophetic invocations to be found in the various authentic collection of hadith. It is clear that it has found acceptance in the Ummah due to huge popularity that it has achieved. But the Shadhili shaykhs are keen to point out that the Hizbul Bahr ‘Is not a magic wand, but an expression of slavehood and poverty’.
