Allahumma Salli 'alaa Saahibi'l Maqaamil Mahmood

O Allah! Bestow blessings on the one raised to the Praised Station.

In the same way, there is salawaat on him who attained the state of Witnessing (Saahibi'l Makaani'l Mash-hood), on the intercessor (Saahibi'sh-Shafa'ah), on the intermediary (Saahibi'l Waseelah), on the one who performed miracles (Saahibi'l mu'jizaat), on the one who physically ascended to the heavens on mi'raaj (Saahibi'l mi'raaj), and so on.

Imam al-Jazuli Rahmatullahi 'alaih also presents simple salawaat easy to recite and memorise with the names and titles of the Holy Prophet Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam as follows:

Allahumma Salli 'alal Bashir i'n Nadheer

O Allah! Bestow blessings on the one who brought glad tidings
(of paradise) and who warned (against hell-fire).

In the same way, there is salawaat on siraajummuneer (the shining light), nuri'l anwaar (the light of lights), manin shaqqa lahu'l qamar (for whom the moon cleaved into two parts), saaqee linnaasi mina'l hawdh (the quencher of thirst of people from his Pond of Kawthar), and so on.

Some of the salawaat combine all this praise in an enriching totality with a flourish of artistry as in this salaat which sparkles on earth as a gem and lights up the sky as does the full moon.

Allahumma Salli 'alaa Muhammad-in

Muhammad ibni 'Abdillah ibni 'Abdil Muttalib ibni Hashim

O Allah! Bestow blessings on Sayyidina Muhammad,
who is the best among Prophets sent by You
and the most noble among Your chosen people,
the leader of the saints, and the Seal of the Prophets,
and the beloved of the Lord of the Worlds,
a witness for the Messengers of Allah (on the Day of Judgement)
and the intercessor for sinners,
the leader of all the children of Prophet Adam Alayhissalaam;
whose rememberance has been exalted among the highest angels,
who brings glad tidings (of heaven) and warns (against hell-fire),
a shining light, truthful, trustworthy, manifest truth,
most kind and merciful, the guide to the straight path,
whom You gave the seven often-repeated verses of Surah Fatiha
and the magnificent Qur'an,
the Prophet of mercy and the guide of the nation,
the first one to be resurrected and to enter paradise,
and one who is supported by angels Jibril and Meekaail,
whose coming had been foretold in the Torah and the Bible,
Mustafa, Mujtaba, the selected one, the father of Qasim,
Muhammad, son of 'Abdillah, son of 'Abdil Muttalib, son of Hashim.
