Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.
In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.
﴿لَقَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُم بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ ❁﴾
﴾Laqad jā'akum rasūlun min anfusikum ʿazīzun ʿalayhi mā ʿanittum ḥarīṣun ʿalaykum bi-l-mu'minīna ra'ūfun raḥīm﴿.
1. “A Messenger from among yourselves has certainly come to you. Your suffering weighs heavily upon him. He is deeply concerned for you, and tender and merciful towards the believers.” (9:128)
أَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ رَبِّي وَلَا أُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا ❁
Aʿbudu Llāha Rabbī wa-lā ushriku bihi shay'ā.
2. I worship Allah, my Lord, and do not associate anything with Him.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَدْعُوكَ بِأَسْمَائِكَ الْحُسْنَى كُلِّهَا ❁ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ❁ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ ❁

3. O Allah, I call upon You by all Your beautiful names. There is no god but You. Glory be to You. I ask You to send prayers upon Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad, as You sent prayers upon Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. Indeed, You are Praiseworthy, Glorious.
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلِّمْ تَسْلِيمًا ❁ وَصَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَاةً هُوَ أَهْلُهَا ❁

4. O Allah, send prayers upon Muhammad, the primordial Prophet, and upon his Family and Companions, and grant them complete peace. And Allah’s prayers be upon Muhammad and upon the Family of Muhammad, a prayer he is truly worthy of.
اللَّهُمَّ يَا رَبَّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ❁ وَاجْزِ مُحَمَّدًا مَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ ❁

6. O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens, Lord of the great Throne, our Lord and Lord of everything, the Revealer of the Torah, the Gospel, the Psalms, and the great Criterion (Qur’an).
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْأَوَّلُ فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَكَ شَيْءٌ ❁ وَأَنْتَ الْآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَيْءٌ ❁ وَأَنْتَ الظَّاهِرُ فَلَيْسَ فَوْقَكَ شَيْءٌ ❁ وَأَنْتَ الْبَاطِنُ فَلَيْسَ دُونَكَ شَيْءٌ ❁ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ ﴿لَّآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنتَ سُبْحَـٰنَكَ إِنِّى كُنتُ مِنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ❁﴾ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ كَانَ وَمَا لَمْ يَشَأْ لَمْ يَكُنْ ❁ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ ❁

7. O Allah, You are the First, so there is nothing before You, and You are the Last, so there is nothing after You, and You are the Manifest, so there is nothing above You, and You are the Inward, so there is nothing more hidden than You. To You belongs all praise. “There is no god but You. Glory be to You. I have indeed been among the wrongdoers.” (21:87) What Allah wills happens, and what He does not will does not happen. There is no power except with Allah.
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَنَبِيِّكَ وَرَسُولِكَ ❁ صَلَاةً مُبَارَكَةً طَيِّبَةً ❁ كَمَا أَمَرْتَ أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمْ تَسْلِيمًا ❁

By the wise Qur’an, you are surely one of the Messengers, upon a straight path.” (36:1–4) The secret of every prophet and his guidance, “That is the ordering of the Almighty, the All-Knowing.” (36:38) The essence of every saint and his light, “‘Peace’ will be the word of a Merciful Lord.” (36:58)

13. O Allah, I ask You to grant me, during the span of my life and after my death, multiplied many times over, a thousand thousand prayers and peace, multiplied again by the like of that and many times beyond, upon Your slave and Prophet Muhammad, the primordial Prophet and Arabian Messenger, and upon his Family, Companions, children, wives, descendants, household, in-laws, supporters, followers, friends, allies, attendants, and chamberlains. My God, make every one of those prayers surpass and excel the prayers of those who pray for him from all the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth altogether, just as You favoured him above all Your creation, O Most Generous of the generous and Most Merciful of the merciful. “Our Lord, accept this from us. You are indeed the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.” (2:127) “And turn towards us in mercy. You are indeed the Accepter of Repentance, the Most Merciful.” (2:128)

16. O Allah, send prayers and peace, bestow and favour, grant and honour, and lavish and magnify the finest of Your prayers and the most complete of Your peace, prayers and peace that descend from the horizon of the innermost reality of the essence to the celestial sphere of the manifestations of the names and attributes, and ascend at the lote tree of the utmost boundary of the gnostics to the centre of the majesty of the manifest light, upon our master and patron Muhammad, Your slave, Your Prophet, and Your Messenger, the knowledge of certainty of the lordly scholars, the eye of certainty of the rightly guided successors, and the truth of certainty of the honoured Prophets, he in whose majestic lights those of firm resolve among the Messengers are lost, and in grasping whose realities the greatest of the enraptured Angels are bewildered, the one upon whom it was revealed in the mighty Qur’an in a clear Arabic tongue: “Allah has surely favoured the believers by raising among them a Messenger from their own people, reciting His verses to them, purifying them, and teaching them the Book and wisdom, although before this they were clearly astray.” (3:164)

Grant him peace, a peace from the beginning of pre-eternity to the end of everlastingness, such that it is not confined by number nor limited by term.

20. O Allah, we seek nearness to You by the comprehensive letter that encompasses the meanings of Your perfection. We ask You, by You, for You, to show us the face of our Prophet, may prayers and peace be upon him, and to erase from us the traces of our sins through the witnessing of Your beauty, and to make us absent from ourselves in the oceans of Your lights, protected from worldly distractions, turning to You, absent from ourselves through You. O He, O Allah, O He, O Allah, O He, O Allah, there is no deity but You. Give us to drink from the cup of Your love, and immerse us in the oceans of Your oneness until we roam freely in the vast expanse of Your presence, and cut off from us the illusions of created existence by Your grace and mercy. Illuminate us with the light of obedience to You, guide us and do not lead us astray, and grant us insight into our own faults instead of the faults of others, by the sanctity of our Prophet and master Muhammad, may prayers and peace be upon him, and upon his Family and Companions, the lamps of existence and the people of witnessing. O Most Merciful of the merciful, we ask You to join us with them and grant us their love. O Allah, O Ever-Living, O Sustainer, O Possessor of Majesty and Honour: “Our Lord, accept this from us. You are indeed the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.” (2:127) “And turn towards us in mercy. You are indeed the Accepter of Repentance, the Most Merciful.” (2:128) Grant us beneficial knowledge, indeed, You have power over all things. O Lord of the worlds, O Most Compassionate, O Most Merciful, we ask You to grant us the vision of the face of our Prophet in our sleep and in our wakefulness, and to send prayers and peace upon him continuously until the Day of Judgement, and to send prayers upon the best of us and be for us.

25. O Allah, we seek nearness to You through him and seek his intercession with You, the possessor of the greatest intercession, the supreme Wasilah, the radiant Shariah, the highest rank and the nearest station, and he was “two bow-lengths away, or nearer” (53:9), that You may realise us through him in essence, attributes, names, actions, and works, until we neither see nor hear nor perceive nor find except You, O my God and my Master. By Your grace and mercy, I ask You to make our identity the very same as his identity in its beginnings and its ends, through the affection of his intimate closeness, the purity of his love, the openings of the lights of his insight, the all-encompassing secrets of his inner reality, and the gentleness of his mercy and the bliss of his favour.

26. O Allah, we ask You, by the rank of Your Prophet, our master Muhammad, may prayers and peace be upon him, for forgiveness, Your pleasure, and complete acceptance. Do not leave us in this to ourselves even for the blink of an eye, O best of responders, for one seeking Your protection has come. O my Master, by the rank of Your Prophet Muhammad, may Allah send prayers and peace upon him, for indeed the forgiveness of the sins of all creation, first and last, righteous and sinful, is like a drop in the vast ocean of Your generosity that has no shore. For You have said, and Your word is the true and clear word: “We sent you only as a mercy to all the worlds.” (21:107) Send prayers and peace upon him and upon his Family and Companions all together. “My Lord, my bones have grown weak and my head is ablaze with grey hair. Yet never, my Lord, have I been disappointed in calling upon You.” (19:4) My Lord, “Affliction has touched me, and You are the Most Merciful of those who show mercy.” (21:83) “My Lord, I am in need of whatever good You send me.” (28:24) O Helper of the weak, O Great Hope, O Rescuer of the drowning, O Rescuer of the perishing, O Excellent Protector, O Security of the fearful, there is no deity except Allah, the Magnificent, the Most Merciful. There is no deity except Allah, Lord of the mighty Throne. There is no deity except Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the noble Throne.

42. O Allah, occupy us with Yourself, and grant us a gift in which there is no room for other than You and no entry for anything besides You, vast through divine knowledge, lordly attributes, and Muhammadan character. Strengthen our beliefs with beautiful thoughts and true certainty. Make firm our foundations upon the straight path and the firm pillars of honour, “the path of those You have favoured, not those who have incurred anger, nor those who have gone astray” (1:7), the path of those You have favoured, “among the Prophets, the utterly truthful, the martyrs and the righteous” (4:69). Establish our aims in noble glory upon the highest peak of honour and the resolve of those of firm determination among the Messengers. O Helper of those who cry out, O Rescuer of those who seek aid, rescue us through the subtleties of Your mercy from the error of remoteness, encompass us with the breezes of Your care in the arenas of love, assist us with the lights of Your guidance in the precincts of nearness, and support us with Your mighty help, a help strengthened by the Glorious Qur’an, by Your grace and mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful. “Our Lord, accept this from us. You are indeed the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.” (2:127) “And turn towards us in mercy. You are indeed the Accepter of Repentance, the Most Merciful.” (2:128)

43. O Allah, send prayers and peace upon our master Muhammad, the primordial Prophet, and upon his wives, the mothers of the believers, and his descendants and the people of his household, just as You sent prayers upon Ibrahim and upon the family of Ibrahim. Indeed, You are Praiseworthy, Glorious. O Support of the one who has no support, O Pillar of the one who has no pillar, O Treasure of the one who has no treasure, O Mender of every broken one, O Companion of every estranged one, O Comforter of every lonely one, “There is no god but You. Glory be to You. I have indeed been among the wrongdoers.” (21:87), “You are my Protector in this world and the Hereafter. Let me die a Muslim and join me with the righteous.” (12:101), “Make my descendants righteous for me. I turn to You in repentance, and I am among those who submit to You.” (46:15) The prayers of Allah, His Angels, His Prophets, His Messengers, and all of His creation be upon our master, our Prophet, and our patron Muhammad, and upon the Family of our master Muhammad. And upon him and upon them be peace, and the mercy of Allah, and His blessings.

44. O Allah, admit us with him through his intercession, his guarantee, and his watchful care, together with his Family and his Companions, into Your abode, the Abode of Peace, “in a place of honour before an All-Powerful Sovereign” (54:55), O Possessor of Majesty and Honour. Honour us with the vision of him through the subtle grace of his nearness, O Generous, O Merciful. Honour us with beholding the beauty of the radiant lights of Your magnificent countenance, and preserve us through his honour with ennoblement, veneration, and exaltation. And honour us with his hospitality, “as hospitality from One Who is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful” (41:32), in the gardens of divine pleasure: “I bestow My pleasure upon you and will never be displeased with you. And I give you the keys of the unseen to the treasures of the hidden secret within the concealed gardens of mystical knowledge of the qualitative attributes, through the lights of the essence,” “upon couches, gazing” (83:23), “and they shall have whatever they ask for” (36:57), “‘Peace’ will be the word of a Merciful Lord.” (36:58), through the gentle turning of Muhammadan compassion from the source of his watchful care, “as a bounty from your Lord. That is the great triumph.” (44:57), within the beauty of the palaces of the treasures of inner secrets of the verse, “No soul knows what delight has been kept hidden for them as a reward for their deeds.” (32:17), upon the bridal throne of the beauty of the seals of, “Their prayer there will be, ‘Glory be to You, O Allah,’ and their greeting will be, ‘Peace.’ Their prayer will close with, ‘All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of all worlds.’” (10:10)
