Blessings of Ṣalawāt: Upon the Holy Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ is a practical spiritual manual concisely organized to better understand the importance of conferring blessings upon the Beloved Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ. This work is the second title in the Wirdul ʿAam Series. The series outlines the Spiritual significance of the Wirdul ʿAam Dhikr formulated by Imam Abul Ḥasan Ash-Shādhilī (RA), as it pertains to the Dhikr of Ṣalawāt or the conferring of blessings upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Almighty Allah ﷻ directs us in Sūratul Aḥzāb, "Verily, Allah and His angels send blessings on the Messenger of Allah. O you who believe, invoke blessings on him, and salute him with a worthy salutation." Our purpose of invoking blessings upon the Beloved ﷺ leads to close proximity to Almighty Allah ﷻ by obeying this command, while simultaneously fulfilling our rights upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. It is crystal clear how important the invocation of Ṣalawāt is for the believer, and it is a Mercy of Almighty Allah ﷻ for its rewards to be multitudinous. Abundant Ṣalawāt upon the Beloved ﷺ leads to loving him and knowing his beautiful qualities. By that virtue, degrees of purity are realized. From the signs of the people of the Sunnah is sending Ṣalawāt upon him, for the key to all goodness is Ṣalawāt upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

The Power of this prayer of Imam Muhammad al-Dar’i lies in its simplicity, its purity, and its sincere supplication. It is essentially a plea to God that our transgressions be overlooked, that divine mercy be bestowed upon us, that social justice be restored in spite of us, that wrongs be righted, and that righteousness reign once again in our lands, so that the destitute may no longer be in need, the young may be educated, the animals’ purpose fulfilled, rain restored, and bounties poured forth. It is a plea to be freed from the aggression of foreigners in lands over which they have no right—a plea much needed in our modern world, rampant as it is with invasions and territorial occupations. Ultimately, it asks not that our enemies be destroyed, but simply that their plots, and the harm they cause, be halted. Its essence is mercy, which in turn is the essence of the Messenger of God, Muhammad (peace and blessing of God be upon him): “And We have only sent you as a mercy to all the worlds.”

Adil writes of the Holy Prophet and how he prayed for mercy upon his enemies. Despite the fact that they did him such harm and caused him so much hurt, he would not curse them, for all prophets' curses instantly take effect.

In the age that we live in, our days have become our nights, and our nights have become our days wherein we are continually focusing on matters of this temporary life and turning a blind eye to that which matters, such as the teachings of the best of creation, the one who uttered in a supplication: "O Allah, my Nation, my Nation!", the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
