Description of manuscript content:

The text contains the tawasul and another special prayer. The tawasul prayer is said for someone else to link the prayer with God. It is a popular tradition in Sufi orders (tarekat). Its first object is the Prophet Muhammad and then a tarekat leader or an ulama who is accepted as leader by a certain group in society.

Other notes:

The manuscript consists of one piece of paper and the text is written in pencil in Arabic script. Its condition is good, although there are some tears in the paper. The text is well readable.
