Invitation of the Servant Angel of Surah Al-Ikhlas | Havas
The Science of Havas And The Servants (Hadim) Of Surahs
In Havas literature, it is believed that every Surah, verse, and even each of the Esmaü’l Hüsna (Beautiful Names of Allah) in the Holy Qur’an has attendant servants (hadim) assigned in the spiritual realm. It is stated that these hadim can be angels or prominent figures among Muslim jinn. It is accepted that communication with these hadim is possible through specific methods, spiritual disciplines (riyazet), and remembrances (zikr). It is believed that the hadim of Surahs with great virtue and importance, like Surah Al-Ikhlas, are extremely sublime and powerful beings (specified as angels in this narration). The purpose of such invitations is generally to receive spiritual guidance, acquire knowledge, or request help for a legitimate need (hacet).

Precautions To Be Taken In Invitations
There is a very important rule to know before starting Havas practices: “While reciting these invitations, never, ever get up from the prayer rug you are reading on. Whatever invocation (azimet) or invitation (davet) you recite, do not get up from your place until the work is finished, meaning the reading is always done in one sitting (celsede); otherwise, the invitation will not be answered.” This warning emphasizes the seriousness of the invitations, requiring uninterrupted focus and spiritual commitment. Once the reading begins, it is essential not to get up, speak, or engage in any other activity until the specified number is completed or the ritual ends.
Purpose And Nature Of The Surah Al-Ikhlas Invitation
The primary purpose of this special invitation is to establish friendship with the servants (hadim) of Surah Al-Ikhlas, identified in the narration as three angels named Abdullah, Abdulvahid, and Abdussamed, and to learn hidden knowledge from them. This is a sublime endeavor aimed at spiritual elevation and the opening of doors to knowledge, rather than a material request.
Step-by-Step Preparation Process For The Invitation
Achieving success in such a powerful invitation requires a meticulous preparation and application process.
Timing And Location
According to the narration, the invitation begins on a Wednesday. The location for the practice must again be halvet (seclusion) – a quiet, calm, clean place where one will not be disturbed.
Fasting with Riyazet And Daily Ghusl
It is stated that one must fast with riyazet (spiritual discipline/austerity) for three days starting from Wednesday (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday). Riyazet is performed to purify the self and increase spiritual sensitivity; it involves eating little, sleeping little, staying away from worldly occupations, and especially avoiding forbidden and doubtful things. Additionally, performing ghusl (full ritual ablution) daily during these three days reinforces physical cleanliness and spiritual readiness.
The Remembrance (Zikr) Of Surah Al-Ikhlas
During the three-day riyazet period, it is stated that Surah Al-Ikhlas should be recited 1000 (one thousand) times after each obligatory prayer (farz namaz). This means reciting Surah Al-Ikhlas a total of 5000 times per day. This zikr requires great patience and consistency.
Oud And Sandalwood Incense (Buhur)
It is mentioned that during the recitations, “oud” (agarwood) and “sandal” (sandalwood) incenses should be burned daily. Oud and sandalwood are precious incenses frequently used in spiritual practices, believed to have pleasant scents and energy-cleansing properties. These incenses are used to make the spiritual atmosphere of the environment suitable for the invitation.
The Special Dua After Recitation
In the narration, it is stated that after every 1000 recitations of Surah Al-Ikhlas, the following special dua should be recited once:
Arabic Text:
اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنّ۪ي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا حَنَّانُ أَنْتَ الَّذ۪ي وَسِعْتَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ رَحْمَةً وَ عِلْماً أَنْ تُسَخِّرَ ل۪ي خُدَّامَ هٰذِهِ السُّورَةِ الشَّر۪يفَةِ بِحَقِّ مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ
Transliteration:
Allâhümme innî es’elüke yâ Hannânu ente’llezî vesi’te külle şey’in rahmeten ve ilmen en tüsahhira lî huddâme hâzihi’s-sûreti’ş-şerîfeti bi hakkı men kâle Lâ ilâhe illallâh Muhammedün Resûlullâh.
Meaning:
O Hannan (Most Compassionate)! O You Who encompass all things in mercy and knowledge! I ask You to subordinate the servants of this noble Surah to me, for the sake of those who say “Lâ ilâhe illallâh Muhammedün Resûlullâh” (There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah).
This dua is a supplication made after the zikr asking Allah to assign the servants of the relevant Surah.
Surah Al-Ikhlas: The Essence Of Tawhid And Its Virtues
Surah Al-Ikhlas, the 112th chapter of the Holy Qur’an, expresses the unity of Allah, His uniqueness, and His self-sufficiency in the most concise way. It holds great importance and virtue as it explains the concept of Tawhid (Oneness of God), the foundation of Islamic belief. It is mentioned in Hadith that it is equivalent to one-third of the Qur’an. The intensive recitation of this Surah in invitations stems from its spiritual power and value in the sight of Allah.
Arabic Text:
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ
قُلْ هُوَ اللّٰهُ اَحَدٌۚ
اَللّٰهُ الصَّمَدُۚ
لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْۙ
وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً اَحَدٌ
Transliteration:
Bismillâhirrahmânirrahîm.
- Kul hüvellâhü ehad.
- Allâhü’s-samed.
- Lem yelid ve lem yûled.
- Ve lem yekün lehû küfüven ehad.
Meaning (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful):
- Say: He is Allah, the One.
- Allah, the Eternal Refuge (As-Samad).
- He neither begets nor is born.
- Nor is there to Him any equivalent.
The Climax Of The Invitation: The Friday Night Ritual
After completing the three-day riyazet, zikr, and incense practice, one gets up at midnight on Friday night (the night between Thursday and Friday).
Hajat Prayer And The Final Thousand Recitations
First, 2 rak’ahs of Hajat Prayer (Prayer of Need) are performed. Hajat prayer is a voluntary prayer performed for a specific request or need from Allah. With this prayer, one supplicates for the acceptance of the final zikr and invitation. After the prayer, Surah Al-Ikhlas is recited another 1000 (one thousand) times. Following this recitation, the special dua mentioned above is recited again.
Encountering The Angels And Greeting
According to the narration, after this final recitation and dua, an extraordinary event occurs: the walls of the room split open, and a nur (light) appears inside. From this light, three angels named Abdullah, Abdulvahid, and Abdussamed emerge and give salam (greetings).
Receiving The Greeting And Responding
One must respond to the arriving angels’ greetings with great respect and reverence (hürmet ve tazim ile). After receiving their greetings, it is recommended to respond as follows:
Words to Say:
“Siz beni nasıl aziz kıldıysanız Allah da sizi öyle aziz kılsın.”
(May Allah honor you just as you have honored me.)
This phrase expresses respect for the arriving angels and acknowledges their arrival as a blessing.
Making A Pact (Ahd) With The Angels
Following this encounter, an ahd (pact or covenant) is made between the practitioner and the angels. It is mentioned that the angels will have certain conditions. If the practitioner accepts these conditions, the invitation is successful, and friendship with the angels is established. However, if the conditions are not accepted, it is stated that all efforts will be in vain. This pact-making is an important step that defines mutual responsibilities and boundaries.
Requesting Help From The Servant Angels
Once the pact is successfully made, these three angels (Abdullah, Abdulvahid, Abdussamed) will assist the person with their legitimate needs (hacet). Whenever a need arises, it is sufficient for the person to recite Surah Al-Ikhlas once and then say, “Ya Abdullah yanıma gel!” (O Abdullah, come to me!). According to the narration, the called angel Abdullah will appear immediately, and the three mentioned angels will fulfill whatever wish (murad) the person has, by the permission of Allah.
Final Word
The Invitation of Surah Al-Ikhlas is a special Havas practice aimed at establishing a spiritual connection with angels believed to be serving as hadim and seeking knowledge from them, requiring a high level of spiritual preparation, patience, and sincerity. This ritual, involving many steps such as riyazet, zikr, dua, and incense, relies on the spiritual power of Surah Al-Ikhlas, the most concise expression of the Tawhid belief, the foundation of Islam. However, it must be remembered that such invitations and practices related to hidden knowledge require great responsibility, can be dangerous for the unqualified, and should definitely be evaluated under the guidance of pious scholars. As in all matters, sincerity of intention, seeking the pleasure of Allah, and taking refuge in Him are essential.
