Salawaat
by Sufi Mashaaikh
Chapter Four: TANBEEHI'L ANAAM Of: Shaykh 'ABDUL JALIL BIN 'AZOOM AL-MAGHRIBI An Appreciation by Siddiq Osman Noormuhammad |
SALAWAAT IN THE FORM OF A MATHNAWI
When we recite Tanbeehi'l Anaam, we begin to marvel not only at the love Shaykh 'Abdul Jalil bin 'Azoom Rahmatullahi 'alaih has for the Holy Prophet Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam but also at his literary abilities. We notice that he has written the salawaat in such a way that each couple of the salaatain rhyme in the final word. For example, in the four salawaat quoted from the "Hurufiyyah", the words "ibtidaa'" and "ikhtiraa'" rhyme, and the words "fawaaid" and "aqaaid" rhyme. The ending words of the next two salaatain rhyme in another letter and so on. This task is achieved in two volumes of the book for a total of 701 pages with more than 10,000 salawaat and salaams, Maa-Shaa-Allah! This then is salawaat in the form of an Arabic mathnawi in poetic prose! Surely, who can beat Muslim scholarship?
