Salawaat by Sufi Mashaaikh
Chapter 2: DALAAIL U'L KHAYRAAT
Of:IMAM AL-JAZULI
An Appreciation by Siddiq Osman Noormuhammad


DUA

There is dua (invocation) at the end of each chapter. One dua, easy to memorise which we can surely benefit from is:

Allahummasturna bi sitrika'l Jameel

O Allah! Hide our shame with Your Own Beautiful Covering.

Imam al-Jazuli Rahmatullahi 'alaih has also included the famous Dua u't Tawassul and invokes Allah using the mediation (wasila) of Asma u'l Husna, of Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam, of Arsh (His Throne) and of Kursi (His Seat). The dua in the final part provides such a spiritually enriching mixture of Asma u'l Husna and salawaat, it tastes like the river of milk from paradise itself. Imam al-Jazuli takes three sips as is sunnah and fittingly concludes with a dua for himself.

Allahummagfir li muallifihi Warhamhu Waj'alhu minal mahshooreena
fee zumratin-Nabiyyeena wa's-Siddiqeena Yaumal Qiyaamati Yaa Rahmaan

O Allah! Forgive this writer and have Mercy on him,
and raise him up on the Day of Judgement in the company of
the Prophets and the Truthful, O the Most Beneficent.

Allahummaj 'alnaa ma'hum

O Allah! Make us their companions too.

Aameen Yaa Rabba'l 'Aalameen.

Sallu 'ala'n Nabiyy! Allahumma Salli wa Sallim 'alaih
Sallu 'ala'r Rasul! Allahumma Salli wa Sallim 'alaih
