Swalaatul Nariyyah

“The Salutation of (Emancipation from the) Fire” [salatu-n nariyyah] is recited with much

faith and fervour in times of trials and tribulations in the Muslim world. Amongst its manynames include, Salatu-t Tafrījiyya, Salāt -s Saif , and Miftāh Kanzu-l Muhīt .

To achieve a legitimate worldly gain, it is proven to be of benefit to gather a group of 7 or

11 pious individuals who are steadfast in their daily obligations to recite this salutation

4,444 times in a single sitting. The gathering [majlis] should conclude with an ardent

supplication to Allah most High to fulfill the need for which the recitation was initiated for.

Arwi Muslims inherited this practice from the Maghribi Muslims who regularly employed

this method effectively to achieve their worldly needs and avert worldly losses. It is also

reported in various books that this prayer was used as a battle-cry by the Mujahidīn for the

solicitation of Allah’s help in overcoming the enemies.

Shaikh Muhammad Sadiq Alawi writes the following in his tri-lingual work, “The Key to

Arriving at the Door of the Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace”, about this

noble salutation:

Imam Muhammad al-Qurtubi relates that anyone who recites this 41 or 100 times everyday,

Allah will remove their worries, concerns and grievances; will ease their affairs, enlighten

their hearts and elevate their status; will improve their state, increase their sustenance, and

open the doors to good and bounty. He will fulfill their intention and will secure them fromunfortunate events, afflictions of hunger and poverty. He will cast the love of them in

 people’s hearts and he will not ask anything from Allah, Exalted is He, except that they will

be granted it. But one will not achieve these benefits except by perseverance, for this

salutation is a treasure from the Treasures of Allah.” 

Imam Muhammad al-Sanusi used to add, “  fi kulli lamhatin wa nafasin bi-’adadi kulli

ma’lumin laka” (at every moment that lasts the duration of the flickering of an eye or the

drawing of breath, and do so to the number of everything that is known to You). He is

reported to have said that whoever is persistent in reciting this 11 times everyday, then it is

as if his sustenance descends from the sky and grows from the ground.

Success is from Allah.

O Allah, bestow seamless salutation and perfect peace upon our master Muhammad  –  through whom difficulties and calamities are relieved, needs are fulfilled, aspirations are

attained, the best outcomes are achieved, and the clouds deliver their rain by virtue of his

noble countenance. And bestow such salutations and peace upon his family and his

companions at every moment that lasts the duration of the flickering of an eye or the

drawing of breath, and do so to the number of everything that is known to You. 

And Allah is the Guide.
