AS-SALAWAAT U'L HURUFIYYA

Shaykh 'Abdul Jalil bin 'Azoom Rahmatullahi 'alaih has also composed salawaat with all the letters (huruf) of the Arabic alphabet from "Alif" to "Yaa", one salaat for each letter. Such salawaat can be referred to, for ease of understanding, as "As-salawaat u'l hurufiyyah". They begin as follows:

Allahumma Salli wa Sallim 'alaa Sayyidina wa Mawlana Muhammad
Wa 'alaa aali Sayyidina Muhammad
Alif i'l ibtidaa'

Allahumma Salli wa Sallim 'alaa Sayyidina wa Mawlana Muhammad
Wa 'alaa aali Sayyidina Muhammad
Baai bidaayati'l ikhtiraa'

Allahumma Salli wa Sallim 'alaa Sayyidina wa Mawlana Muhammad
Wa 'alaa aali Sayyidina Muhammad
Taa'i tamaami'l fawaaid

Allahumma Salli wa Sallim 'alaa Sayyidina wa Mawlana Muhammad
wa 'alaa aali Sayyidina Muhammad
Thaa'i thubuti'l aqaaid

O Allah! Bestow blessings and peace on our patron
Sayyidina Muhammad and on the family of Sayyidina Muhammad:
The letter "Alif" is for the start.

O Allah! Bestow blessings and peace on our patron
Sayyidina Muhammad and on the family of Sayyidina Muhammad:
The letter "Baa" is for the beginning of the discovery.

O Allah! Bestow blessings and peace on our patron
Sayyidina Muhammad and on the family of Sayyidina Muhammad:
The letter "Taa" is for complete benefits.

O Allah! Bestow blessings and peace on our patron
Sayyidina Muhammad and on the family of Sayyidina Muhammad:
The letter "Thaa" is for unshakeable tenets of belief.

Each of the letters of the alphabet is thus said to have a meaning and to stand for something.
