Question to read Dalail ul Khairat is the best as a Guide, as a Murshid

Re-post from 4 years ago(2017), Question Salam aleikum; I am a bit confuse, so, I read some posts that says (Alhamdullillah) to read Dalail ul Khairat is the best as a Guide, as a Murshid and so I get motivation to recite it even with my shortcomings.

Then I read other posts that Salawat Fatihi or Salawat Azeemiyyah their value is much more then reading a Khatm of Dalail ul Khayrat so I get confused and I think to myself why recite long time Dalail ul Khairat if one Salawat Fatihi or Azeemia is more worthy and in one minute I read same as Dalail ul Khairat? so what would be the best for myself to attach...the best way?  End of Question.

My reply: Bismillah, walikum salam Sidi Hilário Nobre, the answer as follows;  when you recite Surah Ikhlas 3 times its reward is like reading the whole Quran, not that you have read the whole Qu'ran but its reward is equal to the whole Qur'an. But you cannot compare the rewards and secrets of the whole Quran as each letter and Surah has its secret doors, lights and secrets.

The same is true for fasting 13,14,15 of month is like fasting the whole fast, again what is said, its its rewards are like or equal to, thus its a dimension of rewards only. 

Or when the hadith that says; "Whoever offers his Fajr salah in congregation, and then remains seated remembering Allah until after sunrise, and then he offers 2 rakats of Salah Ishraq, will receive the reward of (one complete Hajj and one complete ‘Umrah)"

Again Salah Ishraq isn't the same as the action of one Hajj or Umrah, its the (respect of reward) of one complete Haj and one complete ‘Umrah that is being mentioned, that you are Spiritually dressed in those rewards. Its talking about its value in receipt of rewards only! 

The Same goes with reciting Salawat al-Fatihi or Salawat Azeemiyyah what is talked about is in respect of dimension one will receive the rewards of completing a whole Khatm Dalail al-Khayrat and not the actual action of Khatm Dalail al-Khayrat, these are two different energys that are inform us about the rewards one receives. 

Now doing a full Khatm of Dalail al-Khayrat or Full Khatm Quran or Complete Haj or ‘Umrah stand on there own merits with much deeper rewards of lights. Thus Salawat al-Fatihi or Salawat Azeemiyyah are being honoured in value of rewards only just how Surah Ikhlas 3 times is being honour in its rewards only too. 

Finally read both Dalail al-Khayrat and Salawat al-Fatihi and also Salawat Azeemiyyah too, they open actual Spiritual Doors which is different to just rewards! 

As for Dalail al-Khayrat being a Sufi Master or Murshid this is talking about Spiritual Doors will open, through taking the Hand of Dalail al-Khayrat that is through abundance of Salawat! If one Doesn't have a Sufi Master, or instead  Dalail al-Khayrat will help with Unveilings. 

But also one needs to read basic sufic text which ive mentioned in my Previous Post about the how the Nafs works and its traps of delusions. Thus its a combination of studying the rules of how the Nafs works with  polishing the Nafs through the School of Salawat, that being abundance upon abundance Salawat, where a simple salawat is read in 5,000 to 10,000 times a day.
