O Allah! Confer for ever Your best blessings
and ever increasing and never ending favours
and Your Purest and Gracious boons on him
who is exalted in the realm of the realities of the nature of humans and jinns,
and is fully aware of all subtleties of faith,
and is the Mount Sinai recieving Divine Illuminations
and the place on which descend the mysteries of the All-Beneficent
and who is a bridegroom in the Kingdom of the Lord,
the centrally placed jewel in the chain of prophets,
the first and the foremost in the front line of the army of Messengers,
the leader of the caravan of the saints and the truthful,
the most graceful of all creation,
the bearer of the highest flag of honour,
the owner of the keys to the shining gallery,
the beholder of the secrets of eternity,
the beholder of the pristine glow of Primal Light,
the interpreter of the Divine Language,
fountain-spring of knowledge, tolerance and wisdom,
the manifestation of the existence of the secrets of the whole and its parts,
and the person who is the (cause of the) existence of (everything) above and below,
the soul in the body of both the worlds (that keeps them alive),
the fountain of life of this world and of the world to come,
the one who knows the reality of the high rank of servitude of Allah
and is created with the highest spiritual stations of morality,
the foremost among the friends of Allah
and His beloved, highly honoured;
our master, our patron, our beloved,
Muhammad, son of ‘Abdullah, son of ‘Abdul Muttalib,
Allah’s blessings on him, his family and companions,
in the number which is in Your Knowledge (O Allah)
and as many times as Your Words,
whenever You are remembered and he is remembered
by those who remember
and whenever You are not remembered and he is not remembered
by the negligent,
and abundant, never ending, complete salutations on him.
O Allah! Bestow blessings and peace on Sayyidina Muhammad
in whom You combined all the good traits and qualities;
such combination of qualities which You did not give to anyone else.
O Allah! Bestow blessings and peace on Sayyidina Muhammad
who in reality combined in himself all the superlative qualities;
and blessings and peace on his family and companions,
from among all the truthful and truth-establishing.
O Allah! Bestow blessings and peace on Sayyidina Muhammad
who combined in himself all praiseworthy qualities;
he is the praiseworthy and the praised one,
and bless as well his family and companions who tread his path,
and those whose foundation is belief in One Allah.
O Allah! Bestow blessings and peace
on Your most perfect of perfect servants,
my master, Allah’s Messenger
who wore all things in the most perfect manner
and who combined in himself all the best manners and habits.
Allah’s blessings be on him, his family, his companions
and those who tread his accepted path.
And surely, you have the most excellent manners. (68:4)
O Allah! Bestow blessings and peace on our patron
Sayyidina Muhammad and on the family of Sayyidina Muhammad
for whom Allah has kept seventy thousand angels
to surround his tomb.
O Allah! Shower blessings on Sayyidina Muhammad,
the praiseworthy and the praised one,
the help of whose secret is never cut off
and is uncountable;
who is noble in his presence;
whose birth was the most significant
and the best among all births;
the best among the Messengers of Allah,
the nearest among those drawn near
and the best in all creation,
the best among all those who are perfect
and the best in all humanity
whose sacred mystery was that he sojourned
into the realm of souls and hearers.
One’s heart does not become alive except with his zikr (rememberance).
There is no one who is far away, except he brings him near.
He is closer to one than everyone else who is close
and most beloved of all those loved.
He is the life of all souls,
the door of graciousness and victories;
and indeed a big open door (of magnanimity),
the secret of secrets, and the light of lights,
and the key to the gate of ease and abundance
and the one who combined in himself all wonderful qualities;
the life of souls and hearts.
All the above verse from the same site where there is a wealth more of the same, SubhanAllah!
Photos from this afternoon whilst this humble speck was on a mission conveying Salam and humbly entreating for all who have made requests. May such humble words be accepted for you all, and Insha’Allah you remember this needy slave in your Du’a too.
All good is from Allah Ta’ala whereas mistakes are from this humble speck. May Allah Ta’ala Bless all readers, bringing you all closer to Him and His Rasul SallAllahu alaihi wasallam. May He accept our humble efforts and grant us the capacity to be good and do good. Ameen.
As-salaamu Alaikum,
Masha ALlah. Amin to your duas. I wanted to visit the cemetery today but was unable to in
the morning because I was a bit late and in the afternoon my daughter was tired and we went
home. Tends to be a janazah on Friday afternoons after jummuah. O to visit Madinah Sharif
with her one day, insha Allah.
wasalaam,

Beautiful! Ameen ameen ameen!
I remember reading a hadith where Rasulallah salallahu alaihi wasallam said (words to the effect) “Whoever writes salawat on me, the angels continue to seek forgiveness for that person for as long as the salawat is written”.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala forgive you and us all, and may the rewards of the salawat being written and read be written in your account! Ameen.

Assalamu alaikum, forgive my ‘absence’ and not replying…
Insha’Allah Dear Ukht Farah it is written for you and your loved ones to grace the Mubarak dust of this City of Enlightenment, Ameen.
JazakumuLlahu khairan Dear Irving Darvis, this means a lot to me…I am forever a needy speck!
Insha’Allah your test was an easy one Dear Tasnim…and may all your patience and yearning result in the best of rewards. Alhumdulillah for all here and coming here for Umrah, especially being blessed to be present for Rabial Awwal.
Dear Sister Saimah, may we all be amongst the most glittering of gems in our Akhirah for being moved by the verbal ones we read in this existence.
Yes, I love that script Dear Umm-e-Shiraaz…how we love each and every thing that connects us to HabibuLlah SallAllahu alaihi wasallam.
Dear Umm Fatimah, JazakiLlahu khairan for sharing this, I have read, and just tried to find the Hadith that states to the effect that the written Salawaat is continuous for as long as the book it is written in exists. Insha’Allah when I find it I will post it. There are several stories and accounts of writing Salawaat, and the lack of writing it in full here:
