Make Salawat on the Greatest Sultan

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh. A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad. Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.

Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying, “Increase your Salawat to me on Friday night and on the day of Friday.” The more we increase it, the more favors Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla grants us. Because for every Salawat, our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam greets us back by the wisdom and kindness of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. There is no greater favor.

This is the virtue of Friday. There are many virtues of Friday. One of them is this. Therefore, do as much as you can. At least, make 100 Salawat more apart from the lessons. We should do at least 100 Salawat. The more we earn, the greater our profit is. We cannot find it once again. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has given a life span. We must know its time and its every hour and minute as a treasure. And our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is giving us this beautiful advice, telling us these beautiful words; “Increase your Salawat to me on Friday day and night.”

Making Salawat all the time is good for people, for Muslims. It removes distress and makes everything good. Because our Holy Prophet ﷺ is the most beloved servant of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is the greatest Sultan of this world and universes. Favoring and honoring him ﷺ is beneficial for Muslims. It is the profit for Muslims. And it is disliked by shaytan. Doing things that shaytan dislikes is beneficial. But doing things he likes is harmful. May Allah ﷻ protect us from his evil. May Allah ﷻ bless these days and nights. May He ﷻ bless our Friday.

The decorations of this world, its money and wealth are useless. They are absolutely useless without the way of Allah ﷻ. “This man has earned so much and did that much.” Does that man make Salawat to our Holy Prophet ﷺ? “No.” No need to get upset and admire him then. If you want to admire, admire righteous people so that we reach the grace of Allah ﷻ. Who admires them attains Thawab. He earns profit. May Allah ﷻ not separate us from this way. May He ﷻ make us steadfast. And may He ﷻ give guidance to others who don’t do it insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

There are recited Qur’an Khatms, Surahs, Ayat, Yasin, Tahlilat, Takbirat and Salawat. We gift them to our Holy Prophet ﷺ, his Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah, souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Asfiya and Mashayikh. May those who recited reach their good goals. May they be happy here and hereafter. May we have strength of Iman insha’Allah.

Li-Llahi Ta’ala l-Fatiha.
