Salawat-un-Nabi

“Surely Allah and His Angels send blessings on the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). O you who believe! Send Blessings (Salawat) and Salutations (Salaams) on the Prophet with worthy Salutations”.

(Surah Al-Ahzab 56)

Text Box: Allahuma salli ala muhammadiw wa ala aali muhammadin bi adadi kulli zarratim maa’ata alfin alfa marratiw wabaarik wa sallim

“O Allah! May Thy beneficence be on Mohammed and on the house of Mohammed in a number equal to a million fold of each atom (that is created by Thee) and Thy blessings be, Thy peace on him”.

This Salawat brings immediate success for the reciter and his entire family. It is a cure of all worldly ills.

2. Salawat-tul-Aali

Text Box: Allahummaj al salawaatika wa barakaatika ala muhammadinin nabi yi wa azwaajihi ummahaatil mu’mineena wazurriyatihi wa ahli baytihi kama sallayta ala ibrahima innaka hameedum majeed

“O Allah! Bestow blessing and bounty on our Prophet and on his wives, who are the Mothers of the Faithful, and on his descendants and on the members of his household in the manner as thou conferred blessings on Prophet Ibrahim. Verily, thou art the Praiseworthy and the Glorious”.

Hadhrat Ali (radi Allahu anhu) said that if any one wishes that he should get the maximum reward for one Salawat alone, then he must recite the above Salawat .

3. Salawat-tul-Da’im

Text Box: Allahumma salli ala muhammadiw wa ala aali muhammadin salaatan takunu laka ridaw walihaqqihi adaaa’aw wa a’tihil wasilata wal maqaamal mahmudal lazi wa ad tahu waj zihi anna ma huwa ahlahu wa aj zihi anna ma huwa ahlahu wa aj zihi anna min afdali ma afdali ma jazaita nabiyyan an ummatihi wa salli ala jami’i ikhwaanihi minan nabbiyini was saaliheen

“O Allah! Send blessings upon Mohammed and upon his family the mercy which will be for You a pleasure of fulfilment of Your right and grant him intercession and the highest position which You promised Him and reward Him from us the highest what You reward any Prophet, any Messenger, from his Ummat and send Your blessings for all his brothers from the Mesengers and pious people”.

The Hadith of Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) says that if a man recites the above-mentioned Salawat seven times on Friday, for seven Fridays, then the mercy of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) will reach him. (The name ‘Da’im’ means “permanent”. Thus, this Salawat should be recited by every Muslim permanently).

4. Salawat-tul-Dawaami

Text Box: Allahumma salli ala sayyidina muhammadiw wa ala aali sayyidina muhammadin adada ma fi ilmil laahi salawaatan daa’imatan bidawaami mulkillah

“O Allah! Shower blessings on Mohammed, our master, in the number that is in Thy knowledge such blessings as may continue for eternal as Thy Kingdom”.

This Salawat is of a very great value. If it is recited only once, it amounts to all the rewards of all the Salawats. By reciting this Salawat, one gets peace of mind and success in this world as well as in the next. After reciting this Salawat, the reciter can claim that he has recited almost all the Salawats which are in this world known to the people. During days of upheavals, this Salawat brings relief, success and true happiness. It is mostly the Saints and very pious people who recite this Salawat after every prayer. They also recommended this Salawat to all the needy.

5. Salawat-tul-Haq

Text Box: Allahumma salli ala sayyidina muhammadiw wa ablighul wasilata ad darajatar rafi’atal jannah

“O Allah! Shower peace upon our Master Mohammed and endow him with the means and high status in Heaven”.

This is the highest Salawat and if recited after every prayer and in every prayer, it brings a deal of reward.

6. Salawat-tul-Malwaan

Text Box: Allahumma salli ala sayyidina muhammadim makhtalafal malwaani wa ta’ aaqabal asraani wakarral jadidaani was taqallal farqadaani wabaligh ruhahu wa arwaaha ahli baytihi minnat tahiyata was-salaama wa baarik wa sallim alaihi kaseeran

“O Allah! Send blessings upon our Master Mohammed as long as there is the interchange of night and day, as long as the morning and the evening follow on behind the other, as long as the night and day repeat themselves jointly, and as long as the two bright stars (of Ursa Minor) remain fixed in their places, send from us our gift and peace on his soul and the soul of his family members and send peace and blessings on him abundantly”.

By reciting this Salawat once, one gets the reward of reciting 10,000 Salawat. It will take you only 30 seconds to read this Salawat, and you will get the reward for 10,000 Salawat. Imagine then the rewards of reciting this Salawat 100 times!!
