Hakim al-Umma Hadhrat Mawlana Ashraf ‘Ali Thanawi (may Allah have mercy on him)said in regards to hizb al-bahr,
“No doubt this is a blessed litany. However, the prayers mentioned in the Prophetic sayings (hadith) and Holy Quran are more exalted and effective than it. Pay heed to this as people commit gross negligence in this matter.”
