COUNTABLE AND UNCOUNTABLE BLESSINGS A popular form of reciting salawaat is to specify the number of times a particular salaat is intended. For example, in Chapter Two of Dalaail u'l Khayraat, we come across this salaat: Allahumma Salli 'alaa Sayyidina wa Mawlana Muhammad-in O Allah! Bestow blessings on our patron Sayyidina Muhammad, In the same way, there is salawaat on the Holy Prophet Sallallahu
'alaihi wa Sallam as many times as are the (uncountable) Words of Allah ('adada
Kalimaatika), as many times as the Pen Wrote in the Mother of Books ('adada
maa jaraa bihi'l Qalamu fee Ummi'l Kitab), the number of stars ('adada
nujoomi's samaa), the number of leaves of trees ('adada awraaqil ashjaar),
the number of men and women (adad-an-nisaai warrijaal), and so on. Allahumma Salli 'alaa Muhammad-in O Allah! Bestow blessings on Sayyidina Muhammad
