Allah and His angels are making</span><span class="c0 c1"> salawaat </span><span class="c0">on the Prophet (s). He is dressing Prophet more and more, and angels are sending more and more </span><span class="c0 c1">salawaat</span><span class="c0"> on Prophet Muhammad (s) for he is on Divine Perfection. </span><p><p class="c8"><span class="c0"></span><p><p class="c9"><span class="c0">For your wedding, you must be given a dress that is the best of clothing, and it must not have the slightest imperfection, and people normally pay thousands and thousands of dollars for a brand-name designer suit.

The Prophet’s every action, even his every breath is a revelation and indicates Allah's Oneness because He is perfect, so from the perfection and Light from which Allah (swt) created Prophet (s), He ordered angels to make </span><span class="c0 c1">sajda</span><span class="c0"> to that Light and ordered Muslims and </span><span class="c0 c1">mu’mins </span><span class="c0">and angels and even all humanity to make</span><span class="c0 c1"> salawaat</span><span class="c0"> on the Prophet (s)!</span><p><p class="c9"><span class="c0"> </span><p><p class="c9"><span class="c0">One</span><span class="c0 c1"> salawaat </span><span class="c0">known as </span><span class="c0 c1">as-Salaat al-Kamaaliyya,</span><span class="c0"> “The Perfect</span><span class="c0 c1"> Salaat</span><span class="c0"> on the Prophet (s),” is said to be the most honored </span><span class="c0 c1">salawaat</span><span class="c0">. S</span><span class="c0">ome </span><span class="c0 c1">awliyaullah </span><span class="c0">said one recitation of it is equal to 70,000 </span><span class="c0 c1">salawaat</span><span class="c0">, and i</span><span class="c0">n the Shafi`i school they say it is “rewarded without end,” as Allah's Perfection has no end!

For that reason they cannot say it is equal to 600,000 </span><span class="c0 c1">salaat</span><span class="c0">, nor 1,000,000 </span><span class="c0 c1">salaat</span><span class="c0">, rather this </span><span class="c0 c1">salaat </span><span class="c0">has no end, as Allah’s Perfection has no end, this </span><span class="c0 c1">salaat </span><span class="c0">has no end to its reward and benefit, and it will be read by angels without end on your behalf.</span><p><p class="c8"><span class="c3"></span><p><p class="c9"><span class="c3 c1">Salawaat Kamaaliya</span><p><p class="c9 c11"><span class="c3"> اللهم صل وسلم وبارك علي سيدنا محمد وعلي آله عدد كمال الله وكما </span><span class="c3">يليق </span><span class="c3">بكماله</span><p><p class="c9"><span class="c0 c1">A</span><span class="c0 c1">llahumma salli wa sallim wa baarik `alaa Sayyidina Muhammad wa `alaa aalihi `adada kamaalillaah wa kamaa yaleequ bi kamaalih.</span><p><p class="c9"><span class="c0 c1">O Allah!

They showered me with angels and heavenly ornaments like they throw (rose petals) over the bride and groom in </span><span class="c0 c1">dunya</span><span class="c0">.” I asked him, “How did you attain this level, what did you do?” He said (as recorded in the book </span><span class="c0 c4">ar-Risalah</span><span class="c0">), “Someone told me to recite a specific </span><span class="c0 c1">salawaat</span><span class="c0">, which I did.”</span><p><p class="c8"><span class="c0"></span><p><p class="c9"><span class="c0">For sure we all want the same for ourselves and we ask Allah (swt) to forgive us and everyone else, as if you only ask for yourself that is egoistic.

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.

So we ask </span><span class="c0 c1">jumlan</span><span class="c0">, wholesale rewards of all </span><span class="c0 c1">salawaat </span><span class="c0">for us! These scholars come and write pages, all of which, perhaps 75% of every page, is footnotes.

Rather, if anyone made </span><span class="c0 c1">salawaat, </span><span class="c0">may Allah (swt) include a share with every worshiper in this life with the worship of the Prophet (s) and the </span><span class="c0 c1">Sahaabah</span><span class="c0"> (r) and the</span><span class="c0 c1"> awliyaullah </span><span class="c0">(q); that is the quickest way, and we rest and relax! </span><p><p class="c8"><span class="c0"></span><p><p class="c9"><span class="c0">Allah (swt) said, “Ask and I will give you,” and I am not asking but for the sake of </span><span class="c0 c1">ma`soomeen</span><span class="c0">, the infallible ones, and for the sake of older ones and for the sake of everyone! And you know the case of the three that were trapped in the cave and they each began to mention the good deeds they had done and with that the stone moved from the opening of cave! So with the worship of Your Prophets and especially Sayyid ar-Rasool (s), give us a share with them! </span><p><p class="c8"><span class="c0"></span><p><p class="c9"><span class="c0">Grandshaykh (q) gave me the </span><span class="c0 c1">Du`a of the Saint of Rajab</span><span class="c0"> and four brief letters, and more than forty years ago he wrote on the third page for </span><span class="c0 c1">Fajr </span><span class="c0">and </span><span class="c0">dictated this to me, “If you cannot read it, then </span><span class="c0 c1">qul yaa rabbee nawaynaa mithla maa nawaa mawlana shaykh,</span><span class="c0"> say, ‘O Allah! As my Shaykh mentioned and is doing, that is my intention in this holy month of Rajab.’” That is the easiest way as it is very difficult to read all of it. So say, “as Grandshaykh (q) made intention, we make the same intention,” then it is as if you read the whole </span><span class="c0 c1">du`a,</span><span class="c0"> and t</span><span class="c0">hat is the way of </span><span class="c0 c1">awliyaullah</span><span class="c0">!</span><p><p class="c8"><span class="c20"></span><p><p class="c9"><span class="c0">So may Allah (swt) bless you in this evening of Rajab.

We are asking for our intention be the same as theirs and for their support, as we are weak, helpless, and deficient in everything and we cannot achieve anything by ourselves. We may spend our entire life trying to accomplish something, but our efforts are still that of an ant, and probably not even that! Don’t think your </span><span class="c0 c1">`amal </span><span class="c0">is going to save you! Only their support and their intercession can take us to safety. So we ask the Prophet (s) and Grandshaykh (q) to intercede for us and that we are granted to be with them in </span><span class="c0 c1">dunya</span><span class="c0"> and </span><span class="c0 c1">Akhirah! </span><span class="c0"> They can be with us, but we cannot be with them if they do not open that door! You cannot go in by yourself as they have to check you, as the Prophet (s) mentioned:</span><p><p class="c19"><span class="c3">أنا مدينة العلم و علي بابه</span><p><p class="c9"><span class="c0 c1">Anaa madinatu 'l-`ilmi wa `Aliyyun baabuha.</span><p><p class="c9"><span class="c0 c1">I am the City of Knowledge and `Ali is its door</span><span class="c0">.

Congratulations to whomever knocks at the door and his name is “`Ali,” “Abu Bakr,” “`Umar” or “`Uthman.” Sayyidina `Umar (r) stood for </span><span class="c0 c1">haqq</span><span class="c0">,</span><span class="c0 c1"> </span><span class="c0">Sayyidina `Uthman compiled the Holy Qur’an, and Sayyidina `Ali (r) gave his life when he stayed in the bed of the Prophet (s) and Sayyidina Abu Bakr (r) when he gave all his wealth and his life in the cave. So anyone with these four names will enter Paradise. Now everyone will say, “I am Abu Bakr,” or “`Umar,” or “`Ali,” or </span><span class="c0 c1">`Ummu’l-Mu’mineen </span><span class="c0">Sayyida Khadijah (r), `Ayesha (r) and </span><span class="c0 c1">Wirdat al-Jinaan</span><span class="c0">, the Flower of Heavens, Fatima az-Zahra. If you carry their names, alhamdulillah, because every time it reminds you. Khadijah is not easy to carry. That is why I call Hajjah Khadijah.
