How sound and meaningful is the supplication of "Hizb al-Jalalah" (Litany of Divine Majesty), and is it permissible to supplicate with such "ahzab" (litanies)? What is the meaning of the word "hizb," and from where did it originate?
"Hizb" means "wird" (a regular portion of devotional recitation), and it is a term found in the Sunnah. However, this specific hizb or supplication mentioned is not found in the Qur’an or the Sunnah, and there is ambiguity in some of its words. It is obligatory to avoid these innovated devotional recitations and to suffice with what is authentically established in the Qur’an and the Sunnah.
