Abstract

Makāteeb is plural of Kitāb, which literally means to write. Terminologically, the word Makāteeb is also used for letters and magazines. In this paper, the letters written by Shah Mazharullah Dehlawī, who died in 1966 AD, to his disciples, his style of training, the contents of the letters and especially the Aorād O Wazaif ordered in them will be covered. Their sources have been collected and determined and their Shariah status and legal position have been discussed by reviewing the reduction and numerical determination of words and words in order to help in understanding that what is the position and rank of the Aorād o Wazaif in Islam and what are their limits and restrictions. Are they obligatory like prayer, Fasting, Hajj and Zakāt or are they in the scope of Mustaḥab and Mustaḥsan?
