The Safar Learn by Heart series is a set of concise but comprehensive books that help students memorise surahs and duas taught by our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Sallalahu Alayhi wa Sallam). It was the Sunnah of the Prophet (SAW) to remain in Allah SWT's remembrance throughout the entire day and this series has been designed to enable students to revive this blessed Sunnah. From morning until evening and from one Islamic occasion to another, the series teaches authentic duas along with their English translation in an easy to understand way.

A unique aspect of this book is that it contains virtues like those mentioned by the Prophet (SAW) for reading the various duas. Many other dua books do not include this. It is this aspect that played a major role in motivating previous generations to keep this Sunnah alive ongoing.

The series has been divided into several levels and targets to facilitate gradual learning and the tracker at the back will help to keep a record of progress. The surahs and duas have been arranged in an order that fits in with the memorisation requirements for various Safar Islamic Studies and Arabic books. This work is part of a comprehensive curriculum composed of four interlinked parts the other three being Tajwid, Islamic Studies and Arabic.

The Safar Learn by Heart series aims to revive the often neglected sunnah of the Prophet of remaining in Allāh’s remembrance.

This unique Duā book has a very clear layout which aids in memorisation. The fadaa’il and benefits that are mentioned after the duās encourages students to remember and continue reciting these duas at their given times.

About Safar Publications

Safar Publications is part of Safar Academy Trust, an Islamic supplementary school with branches across the South East of the UK founded by Shaykh Hasan Ali in 1998. Safar Publications is a growing publishing arm of the trust, and through this dedicated and distinct service, we aim to create the best and most innovative tools to meet the learning needs of today’s students, particularly in Islamic education.

Safar Publications has developed and honed its curriculum over the last 20 years. The curriculum is structured into four distinct syllabuses, all aimed at giving learners a firm foundation in their Quranic reading and understanding, Islamic knowledge, spiritual development and grasping the Arabic language. Our curriculum includes Qāidah, Tajwid, Juz Amma (Learn to Read Series), Duas and Surahs (Learn by Heart Series), Islamic Studies (Learn about Islam Series) and Arabic (Learn Arabic Series) related publications. All our publications contain many innovative features and interconnections, to ensure students learn in an engaging, steady and coherent fashion.

Safar publications are based on traditional Islamic sources and understanding and are also shaped by effective educational theories and practices. Most importantly, they are a result of practical feedback from students and teachers across the world, including our very own staff and students at Safar Academy. One of our core values is seeking perfection and quality; because of this, our curriculum and comprehensive support services are continually improved and refined, ensuring that we stay ahead of the curve and meet the needs of learners and educators in today’s ever-changing world.

Our curriculum and extensive teacher support services privilege the art of learning and teaching in a holistic, contextual and student-centred manner. Furthermore, the curriculum includes the learning of key Muslim values, skills and attitudes, such as God-consciousness, respect, tolerance and mercy for all life. It also aims to give learners the skills to live and build healthy relationships with others in furthering the common good. Through such a values-based approach, learners can grow to realize their full potential and play an active role as Muslims in their communities and wider society.
