In this salaat, Shaykh 'Abdul Qadir Jilani Rady Allahu 'Anhu declares his aqeeda (belief) loud and clear that before Allah Sub'hanahu wa Ta'ala created anything else, He created Nur-e-Muhammadi, the Nur of Sayyidina Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam.

As-Salat al-Kaamil (Between Maghrib and `Isha especially to remove forgetfulness and strengthen the memory) The most honored salawat which awliyaullah said one recitation equals 70,000 salawat, and in the Shafi`i school of thought they say it is “rewarded with no end,” as Allah's Perfection has no end! It is read between Maghrib and `Isha, especially to remove forgetfulness and strengthen the memory: Allahumma salli wa sallim wa baarik `ala Sayyidina Muhammadin wa `ala aalihi kamaa laa nihayata li-kamaalika wa `adada kamalih. O Allah! Grant salawat on the Prophet (s) without end on the number of perfection with which You dressed him! Šalawāt Nūrānīyyah / Šalawāt Badawī Kubrā Allāh ¹ said in the Holy Qur’an: Allāh and His angels send blessings on the Prophet: O ye that believe! Send ye blessings on him, and salute him with all respect.(al-Aħzāb, 33:56) In composing their own odes of praise on the Prophet ÿ awlīyāullāh have been inspired directly from the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ÿ or by seeing a vision or dream in which he informed them of the value of a particular praise or recitation. In the case of this particular du¿ā, which was composed by Sayyidina Aħmad al-Badawī, it is related in Talkhīs alma¿ārif fī targhīb Muħammad ¿Ārif by Ħasan ibn Muħammad Qaħħī, that the walī Muhammad Talmaysānī recited Dalā’ilu ’l-Khayrāt 100,00 times. After completing 100,000 recitation the Prophet ÿ came to him in a dream and said to him, “If you read the recitation of Ahmad al-Badawi it would be as if you read Dalā’ilu ’l-Khayrāt 800,000 times.” Allāhumma šalli wa sallim ¿alā Sayyīdinā wa mawlānā Muħammadin shajarati ’l-ašli ’n-nūrānīyyati wa lam¿ati ’l-qabļati ’r-raħmānīyyati wa afļali ’l-khalīqati ’l-insānīyyati wa ashrafi ’š-šūrati ’l-jismānīyyati, šāħibi ’l-qabļati ’l-ašlīyyati wa ’lbahjati ’s-sanīyyati wa ’r-rutbati ’l-¿alīyyati mani ’ndarajati ’n-nabīyyūna taħta liwā’ihi fahum minhu wa ilayh.

After reading the verses of the Holy Quran, this Durood Shareef should be recited 3 times. Durood E Radawiyya SALLAL LAAHU ALAN NABIYIL UMMIYI WA AALIHI SALLAL LAAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM. SALAATAW WAS SALAAMAN ALAIKA YA RASOOLALLAH. The above Durood Shareef should be read 100 times after every Salaah if possible.

Durood E Sadaqah ALLAHUMMA SALLI ALA MUHAMMADIN ABDIKA WA RASOOLIKA WA SALLI ALAL MU'MINEENA WAL MU'MINAATI WAL MUSLIMEENA WAL MUSLIMAATI. O Allah! Shower Thy blessings and beneficence on Muhammad, Thy creature and Thy Messenger, and shower beneficence on all men of faith and women of faith, and Muslim men and Muslim women". Merit: This Durood Shareef is a special one. Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (radi Allahu anhu), a close companion of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), says that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said: "Whoever does not possess wealth to give in charity, should recite this Durood in his Du'a. It will become a source of (spiritual) cleanliness for him". Durood E Shifa Illness ALLAHUMMA SALLI WA SALLIM WA BAARIK ALA RUHI SAYYIDINA MUHAMMADIN FI ARWAAHI WA SALLI WASALLIM ALA QALBI SAYYIDINA MUHAMMADIN FIL QULUBI WA SALLI WA SALLIM ALA JASADI MUHAMMADIN FIL AJSAADI WA SALLI WA SALLIM ALA QABRI SAYYIDINA MUHAMMADIN FI QUBUR. O Allah! Shower Thy blessings on the soul of Muhammad amongst all Souls, on the heart of Muhammad amongst all hearts, and on the body of Muhammad amongst all bodies, and on the grave of Muhammad amongst all graves”. A poor man complained to Hazrat Shahabuddin Ibn Arslan (radi Allahu anhu) about his illness. The disease was incurable. No doctor or physician could even suggest any medicine for his disease. Hazrat Shahabuddin (radi Allahu anhu), who was a very great Saint, listened patiently to this poor man and then told him to recite the above Durood Shareef. The poor man immediately did so and his illness disappeared so quickly as if it was never present. The poor man gladly returned to his house. Hazrat Abdullah ibn Abbas Hazrat Abdullah ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu), a companion of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim), says that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) said that if a man recites the
following Durood Shareef once, then for the coming 1 000 days the Angels of Allah Ta'ala will be busy in writing reward for the reciter of this Durood. This Durood Shareef is a very rewarding one. By reciting it only once, the Angels go on writing good deeds in the account sheet of the reciter for full 1 000 days. What a great reward and what a great return? The Durood is the following: JAZZALLAHU ANNA MUHAMMADAM MA HUWA AHLAHU. "O Allah! Give reward to our Hazrat Muhammad the reward which is benefitting as he deserves" Hazrat Qabisah Bim Mukharib Hazrat Royafai (radi Allahu anhu), a very close companion of the Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) has revealed that once Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) said: "There is a Durood which if anyone recites, then I shall definitely come to his help on the final Day of the Judgement". That Durood is the following: ALLAHUMMA SALLI ALA MUHAMMADIW WA ANZILHUL MAQADAL MUQARRABA INDAKA YAWMAL QIYAMAH. "O Allah! Shower Thy blessing on Muhammad and make him enter the highest place which is the greatest before You on the Day of Resurrection". Hazrat Saeed Ahmed Savi Hazrat Saeed Ahmed Savi (radi Allahu anhu) says there is one Durood Shareef which is just like actual light. In fact, it is light in itself. If recited once, the reciter obtains the reward for 100 000 Duroods. Whenever a person is faced with trouble, he or she should recite it 1 500 times daily and all his or her troubles are bound to disappear. Hazrat Abu Abideen (radi Allahu anhu) says that if a man recites this Durood daily, the love of Allah Ta'ala and a very high position will be given to him. Hazrat Shaikh Ahmed Malool (radi Allahu anhu) says that this single Durood Shareef is equivalent to 100 000 Duroods. The Durood is the following: ALLAHUMMA SALLI WA SALLIM WA BAARIK ALA SAYYIDINA MUHAMMADIN NURIZ ZAATI WA SIRRIS SAARI FI SAAA'IRIL ASMAAA'I WAS SIFAAT. "O Allah!Send actual blessings and grace on Muhammad, our master, who is light and this secret is spread up in all things in every corner and in every name and fame". Highest Salawaat Allahumma salli wa sallim wa baarik `alaa Sayyidina Muhmmadin an-Nabee, al-Ummee, al-Habeeb, al-`Aali, al-Qadri, al-`Azheem, al-Habeebu ’l-`Aaliyy al-qadr, al-`Azheemi ’l- ja’a, wa `alaa aalihi wa sahbihi wa sallam. Shaykh Yusawi (r) said that Ad-Dardeer, who is very famous, explained that and Imam Suyuti (r) has confirmed this salawaat. It is mentioned that whoever keeps reciting it once every Friday will not be put in the grave except that he will be with Prophet (s)! Also, Syed Zayni ad-Dahlaan of Mecca, a very famous mufti from the Shafi`i school of thought, wrote in one of his collections on page 65, "It is from the best forms or versions of praising Prophet (s)." Numerous awliyaullah said, "Whoever recites it even once on Friday or from Thursday evening onwards, Allah will allow his soul to see the Exemplar of All Souls (s) at his death." Allah (swt) will open for him to see Prophet (s) when his soul is coming out, not only in death but also when they take him to his grave, until he sees Prophet (s) is the one taking care of him in that grave! That is the for the one who will recite it just once! Huruf u'l Muqatta'at An ancient tradition among the ulama (the learned) and the mashaaikh (spiritual masters) is to compose salawaat giving a meaning to each letter in the name of the beloved Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam. On earth, the Holy Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam is called Muhammad and in the heavens, he is called Ahmad. The name Muhammad is composed of four letters: "Meem", "Haa", "Meem", and "Daal", while the name Ahmad is composed of "Alif", "Haa", "Meem" and "Daal". The mashaaikh have composed salawaat with these letters. But Shaykh 'Abdul Qadir Jilani Rady Allahu 'Anhu went a step beyond this. He composed a salaat with these letters together with the Huruf u'l Muqatta'at. The Huruf u'l Muqatta'at are the letters with which some of the surahs of the Qur'an Kareem start. These are: "Alif Laam Meem", "Alif Laam
Meem Saad", "Alif Laam Raa", "Kaaf Haa Yaa 'Ain Saad", "Taa Haa", "Taa Seen Meem", "Taa Seen", "Yaa Seen", "Saad", "Haa Meem", "Ain, Seen, Qaaf", "Qaaf", and "Noon". Only Allah Sub'hanahu wa Ta'ala knows their true meanings, as well as those whom He cares to give this knowledge to, the foremost among them being the Holy Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam. The mashaaikh are agreed that Taa Haa and Yaa Seen are attributive names of praise for the blessed Prophet Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam. Other mashaaikh have explained the significance of each of the huruf u'l muqatta'at, saying they denote the sifaat (attributive qualities) of the noble Prophet Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam. For example, the letter "Yaa" in "Yaa Seen" denotes a sifat, and so does the letter "Seen". Yet other mashaaikh have composed salawaat with the huruf u'l muqatta'at. Shaykh 'Abdul Qadir Jilani Rady Allahu 'Anhu combined all this 'ulum (knowledge) in a grand convocation in just one salawaat. We find that in one of the salawaat given in Fuyudhaat u'r Rabbaniyyah, the Gauth u'l A'zam has used the letters in the blessed names Muhammad and Ahmad as well as the Huruf u'l Muqatta'at without repeating any of the Huruf u'l Muqatta'at! Who can beat such scholarship? As we appreciate this learning that is open, manifest and clear, we begin to understand the depth of his spiritual knowledge that was a secret and even more hidden. Let us then approach this salawaat after reciting Surah al-Fateha. AlFateha! Bismilla Hirrahma Nirraheem Allahumma Salli wa Sallim Wa birra wa akrim wa a'izza wa a'zim wa'rham'Ala'l 'izzish-shaamikhi wa'l majdi'l baadhikhiWa'n nur-it-taamihi wa'l haqqi'l waadhihiMeemi'l mamlakati wa Haa-i'rrahmatiWa Meemi'l ilmi wa Daal-i'd-dalaalatiWa Alifi'l jabaruti wa Haa-i'r-rahamutiWa Meemi'l malakuti wa Daali'l hidaayatiWa Laami'l altaafi'l khafiyyatiWa Raa-i'r-ra'fati'l khafiyyatiWa Nuni'l minani'l wafiyyatiWa 'Aini'l 'inaayati wa Kaafi'l kifaayatiWa Yaa-i's-siyaadati wa Seen-i's-sa'adati wa Qaafi'l qurbi Wa Taa-i's-saltanati wa Haa-i'l-'urwati wa Saad-i'l-'ismatiWa 'alaa aalihi hawaajiri 'ilmihi'l 'azeeziWa as'haabihi man asbahaddeenu bihim fee hirzin hareez. Translation In the name of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful (1:1) O Allah! Bestow blessings, peace and honour; and give nobility, power and greatness; and have mercyon the one who is lofty in power and towering in grandeur,and is the high-aspiring light and the clear truth;the letter "Meem" (in the name Muhammad) is for the kingdom,"Haa" is for mercy, "Meem" is for knowledge, and "Daal" is for evidence (proof);the letter "Alif" (in the name Ahmad) is for might and power,"Haa" is for the realm of mercy, "Meem" is for sovereignty, and "Daal" is for guidance; the letter "Laam" (in the Huruf u'l Muqatta'at) is for hidden kindness, "Raa" is for hidden compassion,"Noon" is for perfect benevolence,"Ain" is for care and concern, "Kaaf" is for sufficiency,"Yaa" is for headship and becoming master, "Seen" is for happiness,"Qaaf" is for nearness, "Taa" is for the sultanate, "Haa" is for the tie or bond (of friendship)and "Saad" is for preservation,and (blessings and peace) on his family, who are the high noon of his esteemed knowledge,and on his companions through whom religion was well protected. Istighfar Al Kabir Its Merits:Shaykh Ahmad ibn Idris wrote about the Istighfar al-Kabir: “I sent it to one of the awliya, so he wrote me a letter in which he said: ‘I read the istighfar that you sent me one time and Allah forgave me all my sins so that nothing of them remained.’ And this means that he knows that Allah forgave him, a real and true knowledge, otherwise how could he have said: ‘He forgave me’?” Astaghfirullāhal ‛aẓīm alladhī lā ilāha illā hū, al- ḥayy al-qayyūm ghaffār adh-dhunūbi, dhal-jalāli wal-ikrām wa atūbu ilayhi min jamī‛il-ma‛ā ṣī kullihā wal-dhunūbi wal-āthām wa min kulli dhanbin adhnabtuhu ‛amdan wa khaṭa’ā, ẓāhiran wa bā ṭinā, qawlan wa fi‛lā fī jamī‛i ḥarakātī wa sakanātī wa khaṭarātī wa anfāsī kullihā dā’iman abadan sarmadā min adh-dhanbilladhī a‛lam wa min adhdhanbilladhī lā a‛lam ‛adada mā aḥāṭa bihil ‛ilmu wa aḥṣāhul kitābu wa khaṭṭahul qalamu wa ‛adada mā awjadat-hul qudratu wa khaṣṣaṣat-hul irādatu wa midāda kalimātillāh kamā yanbaghī li-jalāli wajhi Rabbinā wa jamālihī wa kamālihī wa kamā yuḥibbu Rabbunā wa yarḍā I seek the forgiveness of Allah the Great, there is no god save He, the Living, Sustainer of Life, the Forgiver of sins, the Majestic and Generous. And I turn to Him in repentance from all acts of disobedience, and all sins and offenses. From every sin that I have committed intentionally and unintentionally, openly and in secret,in word and deed. In my every action and my every stillness, my every thought and my every breath, always and forever and eternally. From the sin that I am aware of and the sin that I am unaware of. To the number of all things contained in His knowledge, registered in the Book, written down by the Pen, and to the number of all that
His omnipotence has created, and His will chosen, and as much as the ink of Allah’s words. As it befits the Majesty of the Face of Allah, and His Beauty.

Salaat al-`Aali al-Qadr (Salawat for the Claustrophobic) 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 uncountable good that comes from it. Also, the book Fath arRasool 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 'ljaahi 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, Possessing Immense Status and on his family and companions and send them peace. Salaat Al Faatih Salaat al-Faatih (The Prayer that Conquers): The Prophet (s) informed us that reading this salawaat equals to reading 600,000 salawaats and performing 400 Hajj! The Prophet (s) said, For every salawaat on me a bird or angel with 70,000 wings comes and opens its wings, each of which makes salawaat on me. So every time you recite this salawaat" (Salaat al-Fatih) 600,000 birds will make salawaat and the rewards of their salawaats will be written for you." ahadeeth say reciting Salaat al-Faatih once equals to 600,000 readings of Dalaa’il al-Khayrat: Allahumma salli `alaa Sayyidina Muhammadin ‘il-faatihi limaa ughliqa wa 'l-khaatimi limaa sabaqa wa 'nnaasiri 'l-haqqi bi 'l-haqqi wa 'l-haadi ilaa siraatika 'l-mustaqeema sall 'Llahu alayhi wa `alaa aalihi waashaabihi haqqa qadrihi wa miqdaarihi 'l-`azheem. Translation: O Allah! Exalt our Master Muhammad (s), who opened what was closed and who is the Seal of what went before, he who makes the Truth victorious by the Truth, the guide to Thy Straight Path, and bless his household as is the due of his immense position and grandeur. Salaatu Ulu'l 'Azm Reciting this salawat three times is equal to reading the whole Dala’il ul-Khayrat Allahumma salli `ala Sayyidina Muhammadin wa Adama wa Noohin wa Ibraahima wa Moosa wa `Isaa wa maa baynahum min an-nabiyyeena wa 'l-mursaleena salawaatullahi wa salaamuhu alayhim ajma`een. O Allah! Bestow blessings on Sayyidina Muhammad, Sayyidina Adam, Sayyidina Nuh, Sayyidina Ibrahim, Sayyidina Musa and Sayyidina `Isa and all the other Prophets and Messengers who came in between. Allah's Blessings and His Salutations be upon them all. Salaatun nabi recited by Hadrat Sayyidinaa UWAIS QARNEE Allaahumma Salli 'alaa Sayyidinaa Muhammadiun Wa Aalihee Wa'itratihee be 'Adadi Kulli Ma' loomillaka Astaghfirullaa Halladhi La ilaahaa illaa huwal Hayyul Qayyoomu Wa Atoobu ilaih. Yaa Hayyu Yaa Qayyoom
Translation: Dear Allaah, bestow Your Choicest Blessings upon our Master Muhammad and upon his extended family and his progeny according to the number of all things known to You. I seek the forgiveness of the One but for whom there is no God, The Truly and Perfectly Alive and The Self Sustained and I turn to Him with repentance. O The Truly and Perfectly Alive O The Self Sustained This is the Salaatunnabi (Durood) recited by Hadrat Sayyidinaa UWAIS QARNEE , and the inherited Durood Shareef of the Honorable chain of Quadariyyah; Mujaddidiyyah; Ghafooriyyah; Raheemiyyah; Kareemiyyah and Ameeriyyah. It is highly recommended that those who seek the love and closeness to the Beloved of Allaah, Hadrat Muhammad make it mandatory upon themselves to recite this Durood Shareef according to their capacity and the time they have available. For instance at least 11 times after each Salaat. It should be recited more frequently after Ishaa, Tahajjud and Fajr. 100,300,500 times or even more. Remember though, once the frequency is fixed, be steadfast upon it.

Shower blessings on Muhammad(S.A.W), our Master, and his Family such blessings by means of which Thou may relieve us of all anxieties and calamities. Thou may satisfy all our needs. Thou may clean us of all evils and thanks for which Thou may grant us high position and high rank and status in Thy presence, and Thou may lead us to the utmost limit of our aspirations and capacity in whatever is best in this world as well as in the world Hereafter, as Thou has the full Power over everything". Merits: This Durood Shareef is always a cure for all calamities in the world of worldly affairs. It was taught by Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (s) himself. To recite this Durood Shareef 70 times during days of calamity, turmoil and trouble, is a must. It works wonders.The great Scholar, Saint, Jurist and author, Imam ibn-Faikihani (Radi Allahu Anhu) says that there was once a pious man called Sheikh Moosa Zareer (Radi Allahu Anhu). He embarked on a voyage by ship. Due to a heavy storm, the ship started sinking. All the passengers on board started crying and clamouring, but Sheikh Moosa Zareer (Radi Allahu Anhu) went to sleep. He saw the Holy Prophet () in his dream and the Prophet () directed him and the passengers to recite Durood-eTunajjina 1 000 times. Sheikh Moosa Zareer (Radi Allahu Anhu) got up and started the recitation. As soon as he finished 300 Durood Shareefs, the storm subsided and the ship was saved. The other ship on the high seas sank, but this ship reached its destination safely and soundly. This miracle was a sufficient eye-opener for the members of the ship. It was by the Grace of Allah Ta'ala and Durood-e-Tunajjina that all were saved.All the Saints have unanimously given verdict that Durood-e-Tunajjina is the best cure of all ills and all calamities of this world. Salawaat of Sayyidina `Ali (r) Hazrat Qibla Sayyidina Ali Maula Sher E Khudah Qarma Allaho said, “If you read this salawat three times daily and a hundred times on Jumu`ah, it will be as if you have read the salawat of all Creation, including ins, jinn, angels, and anything that makes salawat on Sayyidina Muhammad (s), and the Prophet (s) will take you by the hand to Paradise”. Salawaatullaahi taala wa malaa’ikatihi wa anbiyaaihi wa rusulihi wa jami`ee khalqihi `alaa Muhammadin wa `alaa aali Muhammad `alayhi wa `alayhimu ‘s-salaam wa rahmatullaahi taala wa barak Blessing Of Allah Almighty, of His Angels, of His Prophets, of His Messengers, and all Creation be upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad; may the Peace and Mercy of Allah Almighty and His Blessings be upon him and upon them. Salawaat that Instantly Raises You Hazrat Qiblah Sayyidina `Ali Maula Sher E Khuda Qarma Allaho (r) said, man salla `alaa an-Nabi (s) bi haaoolaai kalimaati fee kulli yawmin thalaatha marraat wa fee kulli ’l-jumu`ah miyata marratin.
Whoever makes salawaat on the Prophet (s) with these words three times every day and a hundred times on Jumu`ah day, will benefit from them as if all of Creation, all Muslims on Earth, all mu’min jinn, and all angels have made salawaat on the Prophet (s). Salawaat To Enter Through Heavens Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) taught this Durood Shareef to Hazrat Qabisa bin Mukharib (radi Allahu anhu) on a particular occasion. If any Muslim man or woman recites this Durood Shareef once, then Allah Ta'ala opens all the four Doors of Heaven for him. The reciter is at a liberty to enter into Heaven from any door he chooses. Hazrat Qabisa (radi Allahu anhu) used to only recite this Durood. The Durood is the following: That Durood is the following: Allahumma Salli Ala Sayyidina Muhammadiw Wa Ala Aali Sayyidina Muhammadiw Wah Dini Min Indika Wa Afyid Alayya Min Fadlika Wa Anshur Alayya Mir Rahmatika Wa Anzil Alayya Mim Barakaatika. "O Allah!

English meaning of Salawat Azeemiyya O Allah, I ask by the Magnificent Light of Your Face, Which filled pillars of the Majestic Divine Throne, and by it are upheld the worlds of Allah, the Immense, to send blessings upon our Master Muhammad of magnificent worth, and upon the family of the Prophet of Allah, the exalted, as much as the greatness of the Essence of Allah, the Great, In every glance and in every breath, as numerous as that is contained within the Knowledge of Allah, the Great. A prayer that is perpetual in the perpetuity of Allah, al Azim In glorification of your worth, O our Master Muhammad, O you of the most noble nature, and send peace upon him and his family just as much,and join him with me, just as You joined the soul with the nafs, outwardly and inwardly, in wakefulness and in sleep. And make him, O Lord, a soul for my body in every aspect, In the here and now, before the next world to come, O the Magnificent One. Salawat Al-Askandari One day Jamal`uddin bin `Ali Askandari (r) saw the Prophet (s) in a dream who said to him, “Yaa Muhammad Ibn `Ali al-Askandari! I will teach you some words that if you read them, it will be as if you read the whole wird with all its rewards! Repeat it ten times, it will be as if you have recited your entire wird all day and all night, and you will get the benefit of that reward in addition to the wird you are already doing. Repeat after me,” and we are saying after the Prophet (saw): Allahumma salli `ala Sayyidina Muhammadini ’s-saabiqi li ’l-khalqihi nooruhu wa rahmatan li ’l-`alameena zhuhooruhu `adada mam-madaa min khalqika wa mam-baqiya wa man sa`ida minhum wa man shaqiya salaatan tastaghriqu ’l-`adda wa tuheetu bi ’l-haddi salaatan laa ghaayata lahaa wa laa muntahaa wa laa amadala wa lanqidaa salaatan daa’imatan bi-dawaamika baaqiyatan bi-baqaaika wa `ala aalihi wa sahbihi kadhaalik wa ‘l-hamdulillahi `ala dhalik. Allahumma yaa Rabbee salli `ala Muhammadin wa `ala aali Muhammad wajzihi Muhammadan `anna maa huwa ahluhu. Allahumma salli `ala Muhammadin wa `ala aali Muhammadin `adada maa `alimta wa zeenata maa `alimta wa mil’a maa `alimta. Allahumma salli wa sallim wa baarik `ala Sayyidina wa Mawlana Muhammadin wa `ala kulli nabiyyin wa `ala Jibraa’eela wa `ala kulli malakin wa `ala Abi Bakrin wa `ala kulli waliyyin.
Salawat Dhatiyyah Allahumma salli `alaa ‘dh-dhaat al-mutalsam wa ‘l-ghayb al-mutamtam laahoot al-jamaal naasoot al-wisaal tal`ati ‘l-haqq ka-sawbi insaan al-azal fee nashree man lam yazal fee qaabi naasoot al-wisaal al-aqrab. Allahumma salli bihi minhu feehi alayhi wa sallim. Who knows Arabic knows how profound this salaat is. Allahumma salli `alaa ‘dh-dhaat al-mutalsam wa ‘lghayb al-mutamtami laahooti’l-jamaal. Here it expresses that there is no one more beautiful than Prophet (s), he is the beauty of this universe and he is the beauty of heavens and here Allah sends His prayers and praises on that Essence that no one knows about, for it is hidden and you cannot penetrate its realities without knowing the secret codes needed to open it and decode them. For example, if you have a rough diamond it is a large rock which you break down and break down until you reach the gem, then you cut it nicely and then after that you have to polish it. He then mentions the Dhaat al-Mutalsam, that essence that is covered and which no one can open, and al-Ghayb al-Mutamtam, the unseen ghayb that no one can reach or discuss. It then mentions al-Laahoot al-Jamaal. “Laahoot” means that which belongs to earth and “Naasoot” is the connection from earth to heavens, the appearance of Truth, which is Sayyidina Muhammad (s), where Allah dressed him with the dresses of Justice, Beauty and ...of human beings. Insan al-azal fee maa nashari maa lam yazal, “the human being that is living from azal to abad who will open from the secrets of heavenly Names and Attributes." Fee qaabi naasoot al- wisaal al-aqrab. He opens only to those who reached the connection between earthly life and heavenly life, he opened to them as they are moving forward to heavens. Yaa Allah salli bihi. Salli bihi is different than salli `alayh. It means make the salaat through him. Salli bihi minhu. Make the salaat from him to him from the Prophet (s) to the Prophet (s) and in him, wa sallim, and give greetings of peace. Amin. Salawat that Equals 100,000 Salawat If you recite the following salawat once, it is equal to reciting 100,000 salawat that you recite daily: Allahumma salli `alaa Sayyidina Muhammadin `abdika wa nabiyyika wa rasoolika an-nabiyy al-ummiyy wa `alaa aalihi wa sahbihi wa sallim tasleeman bi qadari `azhamati dhaatika fee kulli waqtin wa heen. O Allah, please send prayers upon Sayyidina Muhammad, Your Servant and Your Prophet and Your Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, and send peace and greetings as plenty as Your Greatness, in all times and moments. Salutation for the Day of Gathering 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. Allâhumma salli wa sallim wa bârik ‘alâ sayyidinâ Muhammadin wa ‘alâ âli sayyidinâ Muhammadin salâtan takûnu laka ridâ’an, wa lahu jazâ’an, wa li-haqqihi adâ’an, wa a’tihi-l wasîlata wa-l fadîlata, wa-b’athhu-l maqâma-l mahmûda-ni lladhi wa ‘adtah, wa-jzihi ‘annâ mâ huwa ahluh, wa-jzihi ‘annâ afdala mâ jâzaita nabiyyan ‘an qawmihi wa rasûlan ‘an ummatih, wa salli ‘alaihi wa ‘alâ jamî’i ikhwânihi mina-n nabiyyîna wa-l mursalîna wa-s siddîqîna wa-sh shuhadâ’i wa-sâlihîn, bi-rahmatika yâ arhama-r râhimîn. O Allah, shower Thy beneficence, give peace and rain blessings upon our liege-lord Muhammad and upon the family of our liege-lord Muhammad with a benediction that is acceptable to Thee and as may recompense him befitting his stature; grant him the means and the merit; elevate him to the praiseworthy station Thou hast promised him; honour him on our behalf with the most beautiful requital and a reward more excellent than one granted by Thee to any Prophet on behalf of his people or to any Messenger on behalf of his nation; and invoke blessings upon him and his brothers from the Prophets, the Messengers, the Truthful, the Martyrs, and the Righteous. By Thy Universal Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful. Salutation for the Deliverance of the Soul The Salutation (for the Deliverance) of the Soul” [salatu-r ruh] is customarily recited at the graveyard, especially at the final resting abodes of one’s parents, ancestors, relatives and teachers. 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 Salawatcompendium of Imam al-Jazuli, Dala’ilu-l Khayrat. Many spiritual guides have stated that this salutation is equivalent to 1,000salawat. Our Shaikhuna Dr. Taika Shu’aib al-
Kirkari al-Siddiqi has mentioned the following benefits in relation to this salutation in his prayer book, “AlMunjiyat”: 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.

And whelm the soul of the praised one, from amongst all spirits, with Your choicest benedictions; ennoble the appearance of the praised one, from amongst all forms, with Your choicest benedictions; exalt the name of the praised one, from amongst all appellations, with Your choicest benedictions; exalt the quintessence of the praised one, from amongst all essence, with Your choicest benedictions; illuminate the heart of the praised one, from amongst all bosoms, with Your choicest benedictions; enwrap the resting abode of the praised one, from amongst all graves, with Your choicest benedictions; shower the garden of the praised one, from amongst all fields, with Your choicest benedictions; clothe the body of the praised one, from amongst all beings, with Your choicest benedictions; perfume the dust of the praised one, from amongst all earth, with Your choicest benedictions; and honour the nation of the praised one, from amongst all people, with Your choicest benedictions. May Allāh invoke benedictions, bestow peace, and shower blessings upon the best of His Creation, our liege-lord Muhammad, and on his pure family, noble companions, faithful wives, blessed progeny, protected household, and ardent lovers. Through Your Mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful. And praise be to Allāh, Lord of all the Worlds Sawaab JazAllahoo Unna Syedina Muhammadum Ma Hu Wa Ahh Lo Ho Read This Darood E Pak Once And 70,000 Angels Will Keep Writing Sawab For You For 1000 Days. Sayyid as-Salawaat As an addition to Sayyidina `Ali's salawaat, this salawaat was given by Sayyidina Muhammad (saw) in a vision of Shaykh Sharafuddin ad-Daghestani (q), who said, “Reciting this salawaat even once in your lifetime is heavier than if the whole of Creation was standing twenty-four hours in salawaat, repeating it all their lives; this salawaat will be heavier on the Scale then all of their salawaats combined! Alaa ashrafi ‘l-`alameena Sayyidina Muhammadin salawaat. Alaa afdali ‘l-`alameena Sayyidina Muhammadin salawaat. Alaa akmali’ l-`alameena Sayyidina Muhammadin salawaat.

Upon the Noblest of all Creation, our Master Muhammad, blessings. Upon the most Preferred of all Creation, our Master Muhammad, blessings. Upon the most Perfect of all Creation, our Master Muhammad, blessings. Blessings of God (Exalted is He!), of His angels, of His prophets, of His Emissaries, and of all creation be upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad; may the peace and mercy of God (Exalted is He!) and His blessings be upon him and upon them. May God, the Blessed and Most High, be pleased with every one of our Masters, the Companions of the Emissary of God, and with those who followed them in excellence, and with the early masters of juristic reasoning, and with the pious scholars, and the righteous saints and with our Shaykhs in the exalted Naqshbandi Order. May God (Exalted is He!) sanctify their pure souls, and illuminate their blessed graves. May God (Exalted is He!) return to us of their blessings and overflowing bounty, always. Praise belongs to God, the Lord of the worlds, Al-Fatihah. Tawassul Dua The Supplication Through the Means of the Prophet Allāhuma innī as'aluka wa atawajjahu ilayka bi nabīyyika Muħammad, Nabīyu ’rraħmah, yā Muħammad inni atawajjahu bika ila rabbī fī ħājatī hādhihi li-tuqļā lī. Allāhumma shaffi¿hu fīyya" "O Allah! I am asking You and turning to You through Your Prophet Muhammad, the Prophet of Mercy. O Muhammad! [YA MUHAMMAD!] I am turning to My Lord, taking you as a means for my request to be granted. O Allah, grant me his intercession." The Salutation of Medicinal Virtue The Salutation of Medicinal Virtue” [salatu-t tibbiyyah] 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. Success is from Allah. And Allah is the Guide. Allâhumma salli ‘alâ sayyidinâ Muhammadin tibbi-l qulûbi wa dawâ’ihâ, wa ‘âfiyati-l abdâni wa shifâ’ihâ, wa nûri-l absâri wa-l basâ’iri wa diyâ’ihâ, wa rawhi-l arwâhi wa ghadhâ’ihâ, wa ‘alâ âlihi wa sahbihi wa bârik wa sallim. O Allah, invoke salutations upon our liege-lord Muhammad – the medicine of hearts and their cure, the health of bodies and their healing, the light of outer and inner sight and their illumination – and upon his family and companions, complete with peace and blessing.
