Salawaat

Chapter Four: TANBEEHI'L ANAAM Of: Shaykh 'ABDUL JALIL BIN 'AZOOM AL-MAGHRIBI An Appreciation by Siddiq Osman Noormuhammad |
IMAN BETWEEN HOPE AND FEAR
A Muslim's belief (Iman) is said to lie between hope of rewards in heaven, and fear of trials on the Day of Judgement and of punishment in hell. The beloved Prophet Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam gave glad tidings of attaining paradise through fulfilling Huquq Allah (duties towards Allah) and Huquq u'l 'Ibaad (duties towards humanity), and issued warnings about the Day of Judgement and about hell-fire for failing to fulfil these duties. One whole chapter of Tanbeehi'l Anaam has salawaat with admonitions about the Day of Judgement, and it stands out in that it is profuse in the use of (parts of) verses of the Holy Qur'an Kareem which refer to it. One such salaat is:
Allahumma Salli wa Sallim 'alaa Sayyidina wa Mawlana Muhammad
Wa 'alaa aali Sayyidina Muhammad
Salaata 'abdin yartajeeh
Yauma yafirrul mar'u min akheeh wa ummihi wa abeeh
O Allah! Bestow blessings and peace on our patron
Sayyidina Muhammad and on the family of Sayyidina Muhammad:
A salaat by the servant of Allah hoping to obtain forgiveness on
"The day on which a man shall flee from his own brother
and from his mother and father". (80:34-35)
