We will be adding to this section explanatory comments on passages from the wird and the qasidas. The abbreviations RE and OE refer to pages in the Revised Edition (Quilliam Press. 2022) and the older edition (Qasida Press, 2015).

O LatÏf, O LatÏf ! Is not Kindness Yours? For You are al-LatÏf and Your Kindness envelops us (RE 66, OE 60)

This qaṣīda, in its orginal form, is attributed to Sīdī Muḥammad bin ʿAlī al-Sanūsī, founder of the Ṭarīqat al-Sanūsiyya. In the version included in the wird, certain verses have been removed and replaced by those addressing Allāh as al-Ḥafīz, the Protector.
