SWALAATUL JUMAH

There is no recommended [sunnah] or voluntary [nafila] act of worship ['amal] which brings

greater merit to a believer on Fridays than the recital of salutations [salawat] on the beloved

Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace. This is attested to by many sound Prophetic

narrations [ahadith].

Amongst the huge corpus ofsalawatavailable, the following is a special one for the Day of

Gathering [yawmu-l jumua]. It is also known as durud-e-tayyib. This salutation is narrated

by hujjatu-l Islam (the Proof of Islam) Imam Abu Hamid Muhammad al-Ghazzali in two of

his works viz.:

The Arabic ihy ulmu-d dn(Revival of the Islamic Sciences) The Persian kimiy-e-saadat (Alchemy of Happiness)

Imam al-Ghazzali states the following about this noble salutation:

It is said, Whoever repeats this on Friday seven (7) times will receive the intercession

[shafaa] of the Messenger, Allah bless him and give him peace. It is assured.

Our Grand-Shaikh, Imam al-Arus Sayyid Muhammad, has also mentioned about the merits of

this salutation in his magnum opus, maghn mulhi-t tibyni f sharhi man fathi-d dayyni.

Our Shaikhuna, Taika Shuaib, highly emphasises the recital of this salutation togetherwithAl-ItirafandWirdu-l Jumuaafter the Friday congregational prayers [salatu-l Jumua].

It is worth noting that Imam al-Jazuli has included this salutation in the third chapter [ hizbu-th

thalith] of his sublime salawatcompendium,dalailu-l khayratwa shawariqu-l anwar fi

dhikri-s salati ala-n nabiyyi-l mukhtar.

Success is from Allah.

O Allah, shower Thy beneficence, give peace and rain blessings upon our liege-lord

Muhammad and upon the family of our liege-lord Muhammad with a benediction that is

acceptable to Thee and as may recompense him befitting his stature; grant him the means and

the merit; elevate him to the praiseworthy station Thou hast promised him; honour him on our

behalf with the most beautiful requital and a reward more excellent than one granted by Thee

to any Prophet on behalf of his people or to any Messenger on behalf of his nation; and invoke

blessings upon him and his brothers from the Prophets, the Messengers, the Truthful, the

Martyrs, and the Righteous. By Thy Universal Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful. (7

And Allah is the Guide!
