Salat al Aisha “The Salutation Sal utation of Aisha” Aisha ” [salatu-l [salatu -l 'â'ishah] 'â'ish ah] is the t he Prophetic Proph etic benediction bene diction that distinguishes the Arusi-Qadiri spiritual path [tariqah]. It is one of the three elements of the Arusi-Qadiri litany [wirdu-t tarîq]. In the Shafi’i fiqh compendium, fathu-d dayyân fi fiqhi khairi-l adyân, our Grand-Shaikh, Imam al-’Arus (may Allah perfume his resting abode), introduces the salutation as follows: … I give below the salutation [salat] that my spiritual master [shaikh] (i.e. Taika Sahib Abdu-l Qadir al-Kirkari), may Allah have mercy on him, advised me to recite. This is the same salutation that Lady Aisha (Allah be pleased with her) recited ten-thousand (10,000) times every day. When the Prophet (Allah bless him and gave him peace) came to know of it, he said to her, “You reciting this salutation once will bring you the merit of reciting a hundred-thousand (100,000) salutations.” Our Shaikhuna has mentioned in his panacea for the body and soul, AlMunjiyat, that reciting this salutation 1,000 times on Friday nights (i.e. Thursday evenings) is a means to beholding the vision of the beloved Prophet’s blessed countenance in one’s dreams, Allah bless him and give him peace. A slightly different version of this salutation without the words “… wa sallim wa bârik …” and “… wa !lihi wa sahbihi …” is also popularly known as durûd-e-sa’âdat. It is found in the third hizb of the famed, Dala’il AlKhairat of Imam Abu ‘Abdu-Llah Muhammad b. Sulaiman al-Jazuli, Allah
be pleased with him. The luminous Koran exegete [mufassir] Imam Abu-l Fadl Jalalu-d Din alSuyuti, Allah be pleased with him, is reported to have said that a single recitation of this salutation (i.e. durûd-e-sa’âdat) yields 600,000 rewards, and anyone who recites it 1,000 times will be fortunate in both worlds.

Amongst its many names include, Salatu-t Tafr " jiyya, Sal !t-s Saif, and Mift!h Kanzu-l Muh "t. To achieve a legitimate worldly gain, it is proven to be of benefit to gather a group of 7 or 11 pious individuals who are steadfast in their daily obligations to recite this salutation 4,444 times in a single sitting. The gathering [majlis] should conclude with an ardent supplication to Allah most High to fulfill the need for which the recitation was initiated for. Arwi Muslims inherited this practice from the Maghribi Muslims who regularly employed this method effectively to achieve their worldly needs and avert worldly losses. It is also reported in various books that this prayer was used as a battle-cry by the M ujahid "n for the solicitation of Allah’s help in overcoming the enemies. Shaikh Muhammad Sadiq Alawi writes the following in his tri-lingual work, “The Key to Arriving Arriv ing at the Door of the Messenger Mes senger (Allah (A llah bless bl ess him and a nd give him peace”, about this noble salutation: Imam Muhammad al-Qurtubi relates that anyone who recites this 41 or 100 times everyday, Allah will remove their worries, concerns and grievances; will ease their affairs, enlighten their hearts and elevate their status; will improve their state, increase their sustenance, and open the doors to good and bounty. He will fulfill their intention and will secure them from unfortunate events, afflictions of hunger and poverty. He will
cast the love of them in people’s hearts and he will not ask anything from Allah, Exalted is He, except that they will be granted it. But one will not achieve these benefits except by perseverance, for this salutation is a treasure from the Treasures of Allah.” Imam Muhammad al-Sanusi used to add, “fi kulli lamhatin w a nafasin bi’adadi kulli ma’lumin laka” (at every moment that lasts the duration of the flickering of an eye or the drawing of breath, and do so to the number of everything that is known to You). He is reported to have said that whoever is persistent in reciting this 11 times everyday, then it is as if his sustenance descends from the sky and grows from the ground. Success is from Allah.

Salat Al-Tibbiyyah “The Salutation Sal utation of Medicinal Medic inal Virtue” Vi rtue” [salatu-t [sal atu-t tibbiyy t ibbiyyah] ah] is a succinct benediction that our Shaikhuna terms as “the salutation to strengthen
one’s body and soul”. The constant recitation of this salutation is a tried and tested means to attaining cure for one’s physical and spiritual maladies. Shaikh Amjad Rasheed of Jordan clearly explains the wordings of this salutation in this answer: Is the Prophet, peace be upon him, a healer of sicknesses? The words “wa rawhi-l arwâhi wa ghadhâ’ihâ” is found in the version of this salutation distributed by the late gnostic of Damascus, Shaikh Ahmad al-Habbal al-Rifa’i, who was widely considered as one of the forty “Abdal” of the age.

He was a disciple of the venerable succour [al-ghawth], Sidi Abu Madyan Shu’ayb ibn al-Husayn al-Ansari, may Allah sanctify his secret. His inheritor was the luminous spiritual guide [al-imam] and famed Sufi master [al-shaikh], Abu-l Hasan ‘Ali al-Shadhili, may Allah illuminate his resting abode. The contemporary Shadhili master Shaikh Nooruddeen Durkee describes Salatu-l Mashishiyya as, “… a metaphysical paraphrase of a widely k nown prayer, in which the believer calls on God to bless the Prophet as if to
thank him for having received Islam through him.” This benediction is the only surviving work of ibn Mashish. Yet, it is interesting to note that many notables have written deep commentaries upon it. The Turkish scholar, Isma’il Selim Ecirli, who translated one such commentary by the Ottoman Sufi and poet, Isma’il Haqqi Bursawi, writes in his introduction: Ibn Mashish’s prayer (salat) is his only written legacy. This prayer has won enormous fame in the Muslim world and became the subject of numerous commentaries throughout the centuries. This sublime prayer (salat) constitutes the backbone of Shadhili rituals and is recited to this day in the Darqawiyya, Fasiyya, ‘Alawiyya and Yashrutiyya branches of the Shadhiliyya order. However this interest in the prayer of Ibn Mashish was not solely confined to the Shadhiliyya order. The Qadiri, Khalwati and Jalwati orders also widely recited this prayer, and used it as a wird.” - Ecirli, I S 2004. Isma’il Haqqi Bursawi’s Commentary on Al-Salat AlMashishiyya: A Translation with an Introduction and Notes. MA thesis, International Islamic University (Malaysia). Shaikh Muhammad Sadiq Alawi notes in his tri-lingual w ork, “The Key to Arriving at the Door of the Messenger”, about this benediction: Imam Yusuf al-Nabahani mentions that in the recitation of this salutation are secrets and lights the reality of which are only known to Allah. By reciting this regularly one receives Divine Help and Lordly Openings. The recitor will receive truthfulness and sincerity, expansion of breast, ease of affairs, protection from Allah from every difficulty, problem and illness – both inward and outward. - Alawi, M S. The Key to Arriving at the Door of the Messenger. Damascus: Dar al-Hawi, 2006. Our Shaikhuna, Taika Shu’aib al-Kirkari al-Siddiqi, writes in in the upcoming hajj guide, “Sacred Pilgrimage and Visitation”, about this benediction: The recitation of this sublime benediction brings much spiritual benefit. Our master, Sahibu-l Khalwa Abdu-l Qadir b. Imamu-l ‘Arus Sayyid Muhammad (may Allah be pleased with them both) frequently recited it and accrued much blessings. - Shu’aib, T.

He told him to read:
Allahumma salli `ala sayyidina Muhammad Habib al-Rahman `adada ma yakun wa ma qad kan “O Allah, Alla h, bestow Your prayers pra yers upon upo n our Master Ma ster Muhammad, Muh ammad, the t he Beloved Belov ed of the Most Compassionate to the number of things that will be and that were.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrlevASXlwY Salat li-Yawm Al-Jumu’a There is no recommended [sunnah] or voluntary [nafila] act of worship ['amal] which brings greater merit to a believer on Fridays than the recital of salutations [salawat] on the beloved Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace. This is attested to by many sound Prophetic narrations [ahadith]. Amongst the huge corpus of salawat available, the following is a special one for the Day of Gathering [yawmu-l jumu’a]. It is also known as durud-e-tayyib. This salutation is narrated by hujjatu-l Islam (the Proof of Islam) Imam Abu Hamid Muhammad al-Ghazzali in two of his works viz.: The Arabic “ihyâ ‘ulûmu-d dîn” (Revival of the Islamic Sciences) The Persian “kimiyâ-e-sa’adat” (Alchemy of Happiness) Imam al-Ghazzali states the following about this noble salutation:
It is said, ‘Whoever repeats this on Friday seven (7) times will receive the intercession [shafa’a] of the Messenger, Allah bless him and give him peace. It is assured.’ Our Grand-Shaikh, Imam al-‘Arus Sayyid Muhammad, has also mentioned about the merits of this salutation in his magnum opus, maghânî mulhi-t tibyâni fî sharhi ma’ânî fathi-d dayyâni. Our Shaikhuna, Taika Shu’aib, highly emphasises the recital of this salutation together with Al-I’tiraf and Wirdu-l Jumu’a after the Friday congregational prayers [salatu-l Jumu’a]. It is worth noting that Imam al-Jazuli has included this salutation in the third chapter [hizbu-th thalith] of his sublime salawat compendium, dala’ilu-l khayrat wa shawariqu-l anwar fi dhikri-s salati ‘ala-n nabiyyi-l mukhtar.

Salat Al-Yaqutiyyah “The Salutation Sal utation of the Resplenden Re splendentt Sapphire” Sapph ire” [salatu-l [sal atu-l yaqutiyy y aqutiyyah] ah] is a
hidden jewel from the priceless vestiges of salawat ‘ala-n Nabi. It was composed by the famed Shadhili master, Muhammad b. Muhammad b. Mas’ud al-Maghribi al-Fasi, may Allah sanctify his secret. One narration of how he composed this benediction is as follows: One day he was sitting in the mosque of the Prophet [masjidu-n Nabawi] recitng the Shadhili litany. Upon completion, he invoked benedictions upon the Prophet [salawat 'ala-n Nabi], when he heard the Messenger of Allah (upon him be blessings and peace) say: “Do more salawat, O Fasi!” He asked: “What should I say, O Messenger of Allah?” Then he (Allah bless him and give him peace) said: “Say, ‘Indeed Allah and His angels shower blessings upon the Prophet. O you who believe, shower blessings on him and greet him abundantly. [33:56] O Allah send blessings and peace upon the one You made as a cause for the opening of Your Overpowering Secrets and the splitting asunder of Your Lights of Absolute Mercy, … (to the end)” The contemporary Shadhili master, Shaikh Nuh Keller al-Darqawi, writes the following in his “Invocations of the Shadhili Order”: Another of the litanies is Al-Yaqutiyya [The Invocation of the Priceless Gem], by the great teacher and sheikh Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Mas’ud al-Fasi (Allah be well pleased with him), who after authoring it saw the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) pointing with his noble index finger at the sheikh’s chest and saying, ‘This is the impregnable secret.’ He then showed it to the inner circle of the saints, and it won their approval, and the Pole [qutb] said, ‘Whoever regularly recites it three times, morning and evening, shall frequently see the Prophet, both awake and asleep, in the sensory and the spiritual.’ It is also related from the teacher that one of the brethren entered a retreat [khalwa] in which he unceasingly recited it for seven days, and he did not depart before he had met the Prophet while awake and taken knowledge and secrets from him. Shaikh Muhammad Sadiq Alawi records Al-Yaqutiyyah as the 25th mean to obtain the vision of the Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace be upon him, in his tri-lingual work, “The Key to Arriving at the Door of the Messenger”. He quotes the following emphatic statement from Al-Imam Al-Qadi Yusuf al-Nabhani: “Whoever recites this t his [i.e. salatu-l salatu- l yaqutiyyah] yaqut iyyah] regularly regular ly in the th e morning mornin g three (3) times and in the evening three (3) times, then they will have the vision of the Messenger of Allah abundantly, while awake and in their dreams.” The Damascene scion of the Prophetic household, As-Sayyid Ash-Shaikh Abu-l Huda Muhammad al-Yaqubi al-Hasani, frequently prescribes AlYaqutiyyah for those who long to see the Messenger of Allah, upon him be blessings and peace. Success is from Allah! The Salutation of the Resplendent Sapphire
By our liege-lord, the venerable master & illustrious guide, Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Mas’ #d al-Maghrib " al-F!s " In the name of Allah, the Universally Merciful, the Singularly Compassionate “Indeed Allah A llah and an d His angels an gels shower show er blessings blessi ngs upon the Prophet. Proph et. O you y ou who believe, shower blessings on him and greet him abundantly.” [33:56] O Allah send blessings and peace upon the one You made as a cause for the opening of Your Overpowering Ov erpowering Secrets and the splitting asunder of Your Lights of Absolute Mercy, thus becoming delegate of the Lordly Presence and deputy of the Secrets of Divine Essence. For he is the sapphire of Oneness of Your Ultimate Kernel and the core of the manifestation of Your Eternal Attributes. So, by You and from You, he became a veil from You and a secret from the secrets of Your unseen world, by which Your creation is veiled from You. For he is the talismanic treasure and the overflowing ocean of abundance. So we ask You, O Allah, by his eminence with You and His preciousness to You, to make our bodies flourish with his works, our hearing with his words, our hearts with his lights, our spirits with his secrets, our teachers with his states, our innermost consciousness with his way s, our inner core with his unveilings, our vision with the effacing lights of his beauty, and the last of our deeds with that which pleases him, until we behold You through him, for he is with You. So I become a delegate of the two presences by the two presences, and that I guide by them to them. And we beseech You, O Allah, to bless and invoke peace upon him with a blessing and peace that befit his honour and his august estate, through which you unite us with him and draw us closer to him by the purity of their love with him, and by which present me the fragrance of the pious, and by which bestow on me the gift of the chosen one. For he is the impregnable secret, the hidden and unique jewel. He is the priceless sapphire enclosed in the shell of Your hidden Secrets and the ineffable darkness from which things known to You are chosen. He is the unseen from Your Unseen, and an alternate from the secret of Your Lordship, until he has become a sign from which we infer You. And how should it be otherwise when You informed us unambiguously in Your Book with Your Statement, “Those who swear fealty to you but swear fealty to Allah,” through which all doubt has left us and we have been apprised. And make, O Allah, our path to You Y ou and our dealings with You through the light of following him. And be well pleased, O Allah, with those You have made exemplars and whose hearts have been made lamps of guidance freed from bondage to the alterities and from the dross of all admixture, and from whose hearts there appeared pearls of meaning which were made necklaces of realization for those of foundation. And [be wellpleased] with whom You chose from the reaches of previous destiny to be Companions of Your chosen Prophet and through whom You were pleased to give Your Religion victory; they being the finest of the elect.
Bestow, O Allah, a manifold increase of Your good pleasure upon them, with the prophetic family and clan, and all who follow their traces. And forgive, O Allah, our sins and those of our parents, our guides, brethren in Allah, and all believing and submitted men and w oman – the obedient amongst them and those who bear sins. And Allah is the Guide!

It is also known as durud-e-dawami. A shorter version without the first three lines is known as durud-e-shifa. Extracts of this benediction also appear in the Salawat compendium of Imam al-Jazuli, Dala’ilu-l Khayrat. Many spiritual guides have stated that this salutation is equivalent to 1,000 salawat. Our Shaikhuna Dr. Taika Shu’aib al-Kirkari al-Siddiqi has mentioned the following benefits in relation to this salutation in his prayer book, “Al-Munjiyat”: Reciting it once is equal to reciting the whole of the Dala’ilu-l Khayrat Reciting it 3 times at a graveyard will provide its occupants relief from the trials of the grave for 80 years Reciting it 4 times protects the dead from all tribulations of the grave till the Day of Judgement. Reciting it 24 times for one’s parents would deem one to have discharged one’s duties to them. Such parents would be visited by a thousand angels Reciting it daily brings about purification of the heart, immense beneficial effects on the body and soul, and an exalted position here and in the hereafter Success is from Allah.

Sayyid Ahmad Dahlan, the Shafi’i Mufti of Mak ka, wrote in his collection of salawat the following: “and among the forms of salawat that is tried and tested for meeting the Prophet (alayhi salat wa salam) is the following: “Allahumma Salli wa Sallim ‘ala Sayyidina Muh ammadin al Jaami’i li Asraarika wad-Daalli ‘alayk, wa ‘ala Aalihi wa Sahbihi wa wa Sallim”…every day 1000 times each.
29. Sayyid Ahmad Dahlan also mentioned in that same book the following: Among the greatest and most beneficial forms that the gnostics mentioned was beneficial for recitation – even if only one time – on the night preceding Friday, and that whoever was constant in that, then the form of the Prophet (saw) would appear before his spirit when he dies and when he enters the grave, until he sees that the Prophet (saw) himself is the one who is placing him in the grave; a nd the gnostics said that whoever takes up this salawat should read it every day 10 times, and on the night before Friday 100 times, so that he can attain this great favor and immense blessing in sha’allah. And that specific form is: “Allahumma Salli ala Sayyidina Muhammadin an Nabiyy al Ummiyy al Habeeb, al ‘Aali-l Qadr al ‘Adheem al-Jaah, wa ‘ala Aalihi wa Sahbihi wa Sallim”. Sallim ”. This was also related by Shaykh Ahmad as-Sawi and Imam Suyuti. .. As mentioned by Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani (q) and many other awliyaullah, from the Sharh Salawat ad-Dardir al-`allamah as-Saawi,
reciting this salawat will eliminate claustrophobia and bring ease to you in the grave. It will also remove the fear of the interrogating angels, Munkar and Nakir. It is mentioned that whoever recites this salawat once every Friday, upon his death Prophet (s) will go with him to his burial and bury him with his own blessed hands! Numerous awliyaullah have said, "Whoever recites it even once on Friday or from Thursday evening onward, Allah (swt) will allow his soul to see the Exemplar of All Souls (s)," not only when his soul is leaving the body, but also when he is taken to the grave, until he sees the Prophet (s) is the one taking care of him in that grave. Awliyaullah say to be consistent in reading as-Salaat al-`Aali al-Qadr ten times daily and once on the night of Jumu`ah will bring you khayr al jaseem, the t he uncountable uncoun table good go od that comes from it. Also, the book Fath arar Rasool states that who reads it ten times after `Isha will be rewarded as if they recited it all night. Allahumma salli `alaa Sayyidina Muhammad an-Nabiyyi 'l-Umiyy al-Habeebi 'l-`aliyya 'l-qadri 'l-`azheemi 'l-jaahi wa `alaa aalihi wa sahbihi wa sallim. O Allah exalt and greet and bless our master Muhammad the Unlettered Prophet, the Beloved of Highest Value, P ossessing Immense Status and on his family and companions and send them peace.

O Allah! Shower blessings on Sayyidina Muhammad such blessings by means of which You may deliver us from all anxieties and calamities, You may satisfy all our needs, You may cleanse us of all evils, and You may grant us high rank and status in Your Presence, and You may lead us to the limits of our aspirations and capacities, in whatever is good in life as well as after death.

One of the most tried and tested means of gaining the vision of the Noble Prophet (alayhi salat wa salam) during sleep, and even during wakefulness, is intense love for him, and occupying one’s thoughts with him night and day, along with faithful conforming with his noble sunnah, and frequent prayers of benediction (salawat) upon him in a continuous
fashion, and complete uprightness on his way (istiqama) and great yearning towards seeing him (saw), and supplications for him, and carrying the cares of the Beloved (alayhi salat wa salam), namely, calling to Allah in secret and in public; and continual application of all of the foregoing, and the absence of despair and hopelessness in the mercy of Allah, the Generous Bestower, for He deals in a steady manner but does not neglect anything, nor does He ruin the hopes of anyone who supplicates Him and hopes in Him, and it might be that He has hidden the treasures within the “late” response to one’s supplication. 2. Some of the gnostics (‘arifeen) have said: “whoever wishes to see the Prophet (saw), then let him remember him frequently night and day, and love the Awliya, otherwise, the door to that vision is closed shut, for they are the leaders and masters of people, and our Lord and His Messenger (saw) get angry at (the object of) their anger…” 3. Regular recitation and meditationon the Burda Sharifa of Imam Sharafuddin al-Busayri. 4. It has been mentioned from the Prophet (saw) that whoever sends prayers of benediction (salawat) upon the spirit (ruh) of Sayyidina Muhammad among the spirits, and his body among the bodies, and his grave among the graves, then “he will see me in his sleep, and whoever sees me in his sleep, will see me in the Day of Rising; and whoever sees me (with this special vision) in the Day of Rising, i will intercede on his behalf, and for whomever I intercede, he will drink from my pool and Allah will forbid the Fire to touch his body.” 5. Imam Nawawi wrote in his Adhkar: “whoever, on the night preceding Friday, prays two nafl rak’as, reciting Ayat al Kursi 5 times in each rak’a after Fatiha, and then after this salah, sits and prays salawat 1,000 times upon the Prophet (saw), then he will see him in his dream.” 6. From al-Hasan (al-Basri?): “Whoever prays four rak’at (2 $2) nafl in the night preceding Friday, and in each rak’a after Fatiha recites the following suras: Duha, Sharh, Qadr, Zalzala (any multiple number of times), and then when he is done with these four, sits for the jalso and reads tahiyyat, and sends salawat 70 times and makes istighfar 70 times, and then makes the salaam to end the prayer, taking care not to speak to anyone after that, then lies down on his right side and sends salawat until sleep overtakes him, then he will see the Prophet (saw) in his dreams in sha’allah.” 7. Whoever recites surat al-Qadr (“inna anzalnahu..”) one thousand times on Friday, then he will not die until he sees the Prophet (saw). 8. Whoever wakes in the middle of the night before the day of Friday and recites surat al Quraysh 1000 times, then he will see the Prophet (saw) in his sleep and all his needs will be satisfied in sha’allah. 9. Ja’far as-Sadiq said: “Whoever recites surat al Kawthar 1000 times, and then sends salawat 1000 times, in the night preceding Friday, and then ask Allah to allow him to see the Prophet (saw), then he will see the Prophet (saw) in his sleep in sha’allah.” 10. Whoever, in the night preceding the day of Thursday or Friday or
Monday, prays four rak’at nafl (2 $2), in the first rak’a reciting surat al Qadr 3 times, in the second reciting surat al Zalzala 3 times, in the third reciting surat al Kafirun 3 times, and in the fourth reciting al Falaq and an Naas 3 times (and another narration of this says to add Ikhlas 3 times here), and when he is done with this, sits and recites the “salat al fatih” of Sidi Mustafa al-Bakri, then he will meet with the P rophet (saw). Salat al-Fatih: “Allahumma Salli wa Sallim ‘ala Sayyidina Muh ammad, al Fatihi lima Ughliqa wa’l Khatimi lima Sabaqa, Nasir N asir il-Haqqi bi’l Haqqi, wa’l Haadi ila Siratik al-Mustaqeem, wa ‘ala aalihi Haqqa Haqq a Qadrihi wa Miqdarihi-l ‘Adheem.” ‘Adheem.” 11. Sidi Mustafa al-Bakri said: “Among the benefits of this noble name “Muhammad” is that whoever says it every night 22 times, then he will frequently see the Prophet (saw).” 12. Some of the Saliheen have stated: “whoever wishes to see the Prophet (saw) during one’s sleep, let him pray two rak’as, and after Fatiha read surat al Ikhlas 100 times, and when he is done, say three times: “Ya Muhsin Ya Mujammil Ya Mun’im Ya Mutafaddil, Arini Wajha Muhammadin salla-allahu alayhi wa sallam” then he will see him in sha’allah.”
13. 13. Pray two rak’as, and recite any sura y ou wish in them, and in the sujud say 100 times: “Ya Nur an-Noor, Ya Mudabbir al Umoor, Balligh ‘Anni Ruh a Muhammadin salla-allahu alayhi wa sallama tahiyyatan wa salama” salama” (O Light of light, O Manager of all Affairs, send greetings and peace to the spirit of Muhammad (saw) on my behalf). 14. One 14. One of the righteous awliya said: “I saw the Prophet (saws) in a dream and he told me, “say before you sleep ‘Bismillah ir Rahman ir Raheem’ 5 times and ‘Audhu billahi min ash shaytan ir rajeem’ 5 times, and then say ‘Allahumma bi Haqqi Muhammad, Arini Wajha Muhammadin Haalan wa Ma’aala’ (O Allah, by the right of Muhammad, show me the face of Muhammad in this moment and in the end), then I will come to you and will not break my promise to you.” 15. One of the Shuyukh said, “whoever recites the following salawat after the ‘Isha prayer, and reads the last three suras each 3 times, and does not speak with anyone after this, then he will see the Prophet (saws), and it is (the version of Imam Ghazali): (to be posted later)” 16. 16. Qadi Yusuf ibn Isma’il an-Nabhani on page 444 of his book “Sa’adat ad-Darayn” wrote: “whoever wishes to see him in one’s sleep, then let him say an odd number of times: “Allahumma Salli ala Muhammadin kama Amartana an Nusalliya ‘alayh, Allahumma Salli ala Muhammadin kama huwa ahluh, Allahumma Salli ala Muhammadin kama tuhibbu wa tarda lah, Allahumma Salli ‘ala Ruh Muhammadin fi’l Arwah, Allahumma Salli ala Jasadi Muhammadin fi’l Ajsad, Allahumma Salli ala Qabri Muhammadin fi’l Quboor.” (O Quboor.” (O Allah, send salawat upon Muhammad as you have ordered us to send upon him, O Allah, send salawat upon Muhammad as he deserves, O Allah, send salawat upon Muhammad as much as you love for him and are pleased with him to receive, O Allah,
send salawat upon the spirit of Muhammad among the spirits, and upon his body among the bodies, and upon his grave among the graves). 17. Imam Qastalaani said, “I saw written in some books that whoever recites surat al Muzzammil and al Kawthar regularly will get to see him (saws).” 18. Imam al-Yafi’i said: “whoever desires to see him (saw), then let him make ghusl and wudu in the beginning of the night before the first Friday of the month, and wear clean white clothes, and pray the ‘Isha prayer, then pray 12 rak’as (6 $2), in each rak’a reciting surat al Muzzammil after the Fatiha. and when he is done with this, let him send salawat upon the Prophet (saw) 1,000 times, and recite istighfar 1,000 times, and let him sleep in a state of purity…then he will see the Prophet (saw) in his sleep in sha’allah.”
19. 19. Frequent Recitation of the following Salawat (from Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jaylani): “Allahumma “Allahumma Salli Salaatan Kamilatan wa Sallim salaaman taamman ala sayyidina wa mawlana Muhammadin illadhi tanhallu bihi-l ‘uqadu wa tanfariju bihi-l kurabu wa tuqdaa bihi’l hawa’iju wa tunaalu bihi-r raghaa’ibu wa husna-l khawateem, wa yustasqal ghamaamu bi wajhihi-l kareem, wa w a ‘ala aalihi wa sahbihi fi kulli lamhatin wa nafasin bi ‘adadi kulli ma’lumin laka” (O laka” (O Allah, send the perfect salawat and the complete salaam upon our master and patron Muhammad, by whom the knots are untied, and the afflictions are removed, and the needs are satisfied, and the desired goals are gained as are the best ends, and by whose noble countenance the clouds are watered; and also upon his family and companions, in every moment and breath, according to the number of things in Your Knowledge). 20. Imam Qastalaani said: “whoever recites surat al Fil on any certain night 1000 times, and then sends salawat 1000 times, then he w ill see the Prophet (saw) in his sleep in sha’allah. Also, whoever writes surat al Fil and hangs it on one’s person, then it serves as a great shield from one’s enemies, and Allah grants victory by it to him over them.” 21. 21. Whoever prays Maghrib salat, and then prays naf’al rak’at (2 $2) until it is time for ‘Isha, and in each rak’a reads surat Ikhlas 7 times, and when he ends the prayer (with salam), he goes down in sujud and says 7 times “subhan allah wa’l hamdu lillah wa la ilaha illa allah wallahu akbar” and akbar” and then says 7 times “Allahumma salli ‘ala-n nabiyy al ummiyy Muhammad wa aalihi wa sallim” and sallim” and then says 7 times “Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum Ya Rahman Ya Raheem”, Raheem” , and then gets up from that sujud and begins another two rak’ats in the same fashion, until the time for Isha comes, and then he prays Isha, and after Isha prayer he sits and says the following 1000 times: “Salla Allahu ‘ala Muhammadin an-Nabiyy al-Ummiyy”, al-Ummiyy ”, and then
goes to sleep on his right side and continues making salawat…then he will see the Prophet (saw) in his dreams in sha’allah. 20. Imam Qastalaani said: “whoever recites surat al Fil on any certain night 1000 times, and then sends salawat 1000 times, then he will see the Prophet (saw) in his sleep in sha’allah. Also, whoever writes surat al Fil and hangs it on one’s person, then it serves as a great shield from one’s enemies, and Allah grants victory by it to him over them.” 21. Whoever prays Maghrib salat, and then prays naf’al rak’at (2 $2) until it is time for ‘Isha, and in each rak’a reads surat Ikhlas 7 times, and when he ends the prayer (with salam), he goes down in sujud and says 7 times “subhan allah a llah wa’l wa ’l hamdu hamd u lillah wa la ilaha il aha illa ill a allah wallahu walla hu akbar” akba r” and then says 7 times “Allahumma salli ‘ala-n nabiyy al ummiyy Muhammad wa aalihi wa sallim” and then says 7 times “Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum Ya Rahman Ya Raheem”, and then gets up from that sujud and begins another two rak’ats in the same fashion, until the time for Isha comes, and then he prays Isha, and after Isha prayer he sits and says the following 1000 times: “Salla Allahu ‘ala Muhammadin an-Nabiyy alUmmiyy”, and then goes to sleep on his right side and continues making salawat…then he will see the Prophet (saw) in his dreams in sha’allah. 22. Pray two nafl rak’as, and in each rak’a recite surat Ikhlas 100 or 200 times, and when you are finished with this prayer, say the following three times: “Ya Allahu Ya Rahman Ya Muhsin Ya Mujammil Ya Mun’im Ya Mutafaddil, Arini Wajha Nabiyyika Muhammad Salla-allahu alayhi wa sallam”, and also write these words on white paper and put it under his pillow, then he will see the Prophet (saw)……… 23. Pray Maghrib prayer in the masjid, and then pray sets of two rak’at (until the adhan for Isha prayer), and in each nafl rak’a recite surat Ikhlas 3 times after Fatiha, and after praying Isha in the m asjid, return home and do not speak with anyone. And when you are ready for bed, pray two rak’as and in each rak’a recite Ikhlas 7 times and finish the prayer with salams. Then go down in sujud, and make istighfar 7 times (while in sujud) and send salawat 7 times, and then say 7 times: “Subhan allah wal hamdu lillaah wa la ilaha illa allah wallahu akbar wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billahi-l aliyy al adheem.” Then sit up from that prostration, and sit in the position of jalsa and raise your hands and say (7 times): “Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum Ya Dha’l Jalali wa’l Ikram Ya Arham arRahimeen Ya Rahman ad-dunya wa’l akhirata wa Rahîmahûma Y a Allahu Ya Ilaah al Awwalin wa’l Akhirîn, Ya Rabb Ya Rabb Ya Rabb Ya Allah Ya Allah Ya Allah.” Then Allah.” Then stand up and raise your hands a nd say the same thing once, and recite istighfar and salawat as much as you wish, then enter your bed and sleep on your right side…and you w ill see the Prophet (saw) in sha’allah. 24. Some of the righteous awliya said, “whoever wishes to witness the Prophetic Beauty then let him make wudu’ before going to bed, and then sit on his bed, making sure it is clean, and then recite suras Shams and Layl and Tin, saying the Basmala before each of them, and then make frequent salawat, and end with this du’a: “Allahumma Rabb al Balad il Haraam wa’l Halli wa’l Haraam wa-r Rukni wa’l Maqaam, Iqra’ ‘ala Ruhi Muhammadin minna-s Salaam.”
25. It was related that one man used to see the Prophet (saw), and that he used to recite the following salawat 16,000 times: “Allahumma Salli ‘ala Sayyidina Muhammadin wa Aalihi Haqqa Qadrihi wa Miqdarih” Miqdarih ” 26. One of the Shuyukh of Sidi Ahmad Zarruq said: “After making the final salam for salat al Jum’a, say “Subhan Allah wa Bi Hamdihi” 100 Hamdihi” 100 times, and then after ‘Asr prayer, say 1000 times “Allahumma Salli ‘ala Sayyidina Muhammadin an-Nabiyy alUmmiyy,” Ummiyy,” and he tried this in the Prophet’s mosque in Madina, and found it worked. 27. Haqqi Afandi an-Nazili wrote in his book “The T reasu1rehouse of Secrets” the following: “in the year 1262 I asked my Shaykh about some special Adhkar that would unviel to me Divine k nowledges and bring me closer to Allah and connect me to the Messenger of Allah (alayhi salat wa salam), and he told me to recite Ayat al Kursi and the following salawat: “Allahumma Salli ala Sayyidina Muhammadin wa ala Aali Sayyidina Muhammadin fi kulli lamhatin wa nafasin n afasin bi ‘adadi kulli ma’lumin laka”, laka”, and he said, “if you are assiduous in this, you will take the knowledges and secrets from the Prophet (saw) until you come to be under his direct spiritual training (tarbiya). And he said, “and this is tried and tested, and so-and-so found it to be true” and he listed a number of names of people. So on the first night i tried it, i recited this salawat 100 times, and i saw the Prophet (saw) in my sleep, and he told me, “(my) intercession is for you and your parents and your brothers,” and then i found in my own experience what the Shaykh told me to be true. And then I told many of the Ikhwan about this practice, and i found that whoever stayed constant with it, received many extraordinary secrets unlike others, and in it is many secrets indeed, and this indication should suffice for you.” 28. Sayyid Ahmad Dahlan, the Shafi’i Mufti of Mak ka, wrote in his collection of salawat the following: “and among the forms of salawat that is tried and tested for meeting the Prophet (alayhi salat wa salam) is the following: “Allahumma “Allahumma Salli wa Sallim ‘ala Sayyidina Muh ammadin al Jaami’i li Asraarika wad-Daalli ‘alayk, wa ‘ala Aalihi wa Sahbihi wa wa Sallim”…every Sallim”…every day 1000 times each. 29. Sayyid Ahmad Dahlan also mentioned in that same book the following: Among the greatest and most beneficial forms that the gnostics mentioned was beneficial for recitation – even if only one time – on the night preceding Friday, and that whoever was constant in that, then the form of the Prophet (saw) would appear before his spirit when he dies and when he enters the grave, until he sees that the Prophet (saw) himself is the one who is placing him in the grave; and the gnostics said that whoever takes up this salawat should read it every day 10 times, and on the night before Friday 100 times, so that he can attain this great favor and immense blessing in sha’allah. And that specific form is: “Allahumma Salli ala Sayyidina Muhammadin an Nabiyy al Ummiyy
al Habeeb, al ‘Aali-l Qadr al ‘Adheem al-Jaah, wa ‘ala Aalihi wa Sahbihi wa Sallim”. This was also related by Shaykh Ahmad as-Sawi and Imam Suyuti. 30. Shaykh Ahmad as-Sawi said in his commentary on the Wird of Sidi ad-Dardir: “the recitation of the salawat al Ibrahimiyya (the same as the one in the tashahhud) 1000 times brings one to the vision of the Prophet (saw), and Shaykh al Adawi said in his commentary on Dala’il al Khayrat that whoever reads this salawat 1000 times on the night preceding Friday or Monday, then he will necessarily behold the being of the Prophet (saw).” 31. The Qutb al-Shaykh Abdul Qadir Q adir al-Jaylani wrote in his Book “alGhunya” that Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet (saw) said: “whoever, “whoever , on the night n ight preceding pre ceding Friday, Fr iday, prays p rays two tw o rak’at, rak’at , and in each rak’a recites (after the Fatiha) Ayat al Kursi once and surat al Ikhlas 15 times, and then after that salat, sits and says 1000 times, “Allahumma Salli ala Sayyidina Muhammadin an Nabiyy al Ummiyy” then he will see me in his sleep, and the next Friday will not come without him seeing me. And whoever sees me, then the Garden is his, and all his sins – past and future – are forgiven.” 32. Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) related that the Prophet (alayhi salat wa salam) said: “there is no believer that prays two nafl rak’as on the night before Jum’a, and in each rak’a recites surat Ikhlas 25 times (after the Fatiha), and then after finishing the prayer says 1000 times, “Salla Allahu ala Muhammad in-Nabiyy il-Ummiyy”, il-Ummiyy ”, then the next Friday will not come without him seeing me in his sleep, and whoever sees me then Allah forgives his sins.” 33. Shaykh Hasan al-’Adawi in his commentary on the Dala’il al Khayrat recorded that Shaykh al-Mursi said: “Whoever recites this salawat 500 times every day and night – and a nd is constant in that – then he will not die until he meets with the Prophet (saw) in a state of wakefulness (yaqadha). That salawat is: “ Allahumma Salli ala Sayyidina Muhammadin ‘Abdika wa Nabiyyika wa Rasulika an-Nabiyy al-Ummiyy wa ‘ala aalihi wa sahbihi wa Sallim”. 34. Shaykh al-’Adawi also recorded that Imam al-Yafi’i stated in his book “Bustan al a l Fuqara” Fuqar a” that the t he Prophet Prop het Muhammad Muha mmad (alayhi (a layhi salat wa w a salam) salam ) stated that, “Whoever prays this salawat upon me on Friday 1000 times, “Allahumma Salli ala Sayyidina Muhammadin in-Nabiyy il-Ummiyy wa ‘ala aalihi wa sahbihi wa Sallim” then he will see either his Lord or his Prophet or his dwelling place in heaven during his sleep, and if he does not, then let him repeat that for two Fridays or three or five. Shaykh Abdullah al-Khayyat ibn Muhammad al-Fasi wrote in his book that he tried this practice but did not see anything, so then he said he sent salawat purely out of love for the Prophet (saw), and he saw a dream of glad tidings that he saw himself in the Garden.One of the Shuyukh said, “whoever recites the t he following follow ing salawat sala wat after afte r the ‘Isha ‘Ish a prayer, praye r, and reads re ads the last three suras each 3 times, and does not speak with anyone after
this, then he will see the Prophet (saws), and it is (the version of Imam Ghazali): (to be posted later)” Salaatu Uli'l 'Azm Allahumma Salli 'alaaSayyidina Muhammad-in wa Adam-a wa Nuhin wa Ibrahim-a wa Musa wa 'Isa Wa maa baynahum min anNabiyyeena wa'l Mursaleena Salawaatullahi wa Saalamuhu 'alayhim ajma'een O Allah! Bestow blessings on Sayyidina Nabi Muhammad, Nabi Adam, Nabi Nuh, Nabi Ibrahim, Nabi Musa and Nabi 'Isa and all the other Prophets and Messengers who came inbetween. Allah's blessings and His salutations be upon them all. This salaat is referred to as Salaatu Uli'l 'Azm because it contains the names of the five Prophets Alayhimussalam who are considered Uli'l 'Azm (the greatest). Imam Yusuf ibn 'Ismail an-Nab'haani explains in Afdhal u's Salawaat that according to Imam al-Jazuli, if someone recites this salaat three times, it is equivlaent in merit to reciting the whole of Dalaail u'l Khayraat. For this reason perhaps, we are recommended in Dalaail u'l Khayraat to recite this salaat three times.
Salaat by Shaykh Abi'l Hasan al-Karkhi Rahmatullahi 'alaih Allahumma Salli 'alaa Muhammad-in Wa 'alaa aali Muhammad-in Mil'ad-dunyaa wa mil'al aakhirah Wa baarik 'alaa Muhammad-in Wa 'alaa aali Muhammad-in Mil'ad-dunyaa wa mil'al aakhirah Wa'rham Muhammad-an Wa aali Muhammad-in Mil'ad-dunyaa wa mil'al aakhirah Wajzi Muhammad-an Wa aali Muhammad-in Mil'ad-dunyaa wa mil'al aakhirah Wa sallim 'alaa Muhammad-in Wa 'alaa aali Muhammad-in Mil'ad-dunyaa wa mil'al aakhirah O Allah! Bestow blessings on Sayyidina Muhammad and on the family of Sayyidina Muhammad that would fill this world and the next, and bestow favours on Sayyidina Muhammad and on the family of Sayyidina Muhammad that would fill this world and the next, and bestow mercy on Sayyidina Muhammad and on the family of Sayyidina Muhammad that would fill this world and the next, and bestow a reward on Sayyidina Muhammad and on the family of Sayyidina Muhammad that would fill this world and the next,
and bestow peace on Sayyidina Muhammad and on the family of Sayyidina Muhammad that would fill this world and the next.

Bestow blessings on our master Muhammad whose light was created first, and whose appearance is a mercy for all the worlds, as many times as the number of Your creations past and yet to come among those that are blessed and those that are unfortunate; such blessings that are unlimited and unbounded, countless, endless, never finishing; such blessings as everlasting as You, and on his family and companions, and in the same manner complete salutations as well. http://www.iqra.net/Salawaat/lataaif/index.html
The most popular salaat from Lataaif i'l 'Arshiyyah is: is : Allahumma Salli wa Sallim billisaani'l jaami'ah Fi'l hadhrati'l waasi'ah 'Alaa 'Abdika'l jaami'i li'lkamaalaati'l insaaniyyah Al waasi'i fi'l mashaahidi'r roohiyyah 'Adada'l harakaati wa's sakanaat Wa'l khataraati wallahadhaat Wa 'adada'l musalleena 'alaih Wa 'adada salawaatihim Wa 'adada'z zaakireena lahu Wa 'adada azkaarihim Salaatan yaqirru nuruhaa fee udhunee falaa ta'see Wa yaqirru nuruhaa fee 'aynee falaa ta'see Wa yaqirru nuruhaa fee lisaanee falaa ya'see Wa yaqirru nuruhaa fee qalbee falaa ya'see Wa yaqirru nuruhaa fee jasadee kullihi falaa ya'see Allahumma awsilnee ilaa haalatin Laa ya'malu feehaa qalbee bimukhaalafah Wa laa yahummu bihaa Wa laa tuqaarifu feehaa jawaarihee ma'siyah Wa ballighnee ilaa maqaamin

Bestow blessings and peace that are invoked by all tongues in a vast gathering on Your servant (the noble Prophet), who combined in himself all admirable human qualities: such extensive blessings as are witnessed in the realm of souls; in every situation, in every thought, in every moment; as many times as the number of those who invoke blessings on him and the number of such invocations, and as many times as the number of those who remember him and the number of such rememberances, such blessings whose spiritual light may abide in my ears, in my eye, on my tongue, in my heart and indeed in my whole body so that neither my body nor these its parts disobey Allah. O Allah! Let me reach to the situation where my heart does not act contrary to Your Wishes, does not cause me any anxiety, and does not temp my limbs to disobedience; and let me reach a position in which my heart does not slacken in Your obedience, is pleasing in Your Presence, acceptable before You; and let my limbs not separate from good deeds done sincerely to please You, that are acceptable in Your Presence, O The Most Merciful of those who show mercy. As can be seen, this salaat is in two parts. The first part is the salaat itself which is there in Lataaif i'l 'Arshiyyah. The second part is dua (invocation). Although it is not in Lataaif i'l 'Arshiyyah, it is generally recited after this salaat and is contained in many other kutub (books) such as Azkaar wa'l Awraad (Regular Voluntary Invocations) compiled by Shaykh Muhyuddin bin AbdulRahman bin Muhammad of Zanzibar. This salaat has become so famous that it is recited at the end of every gathering of ilm (learning), zikr (rememberance of Allah), and mawlid (birth) celebration of the beloved Prophet Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam by the muhibbeen (loving disciples). One reason perhaps why this salaat has taken such a hold is that it is one of the easier salawaat of Imam alHabshi to recite and understand! And of course, its spiritual benefits are all too obvious for everyone to witness. Indeed, Al-Habib al-Qutb Ahmad bin Abibakar bin Sumeit Naf'an Allahu Bih (1277-1343 A.H) who was the Chief Kadhi of Zanzibar took this salaat so much to heart that he w rote a sharh (appreciation) on it in Arabic. Durood E Mustafa The one recites this Durood every day will soon have the spiritual connection to Nabi E Kareem Salla Allahu 'alayhi wa Sallam and will be absorbed in the Ishq of Sayyedinah Rasoolullah Salla Allahu 'alayhi wa
Sallam. The one who recites this Durood after every Salah will soon get out of afflictions and straight into success and well being. One will receive respect and love from the people around them.
