Majmu'ah Salawaat u'r Rasul of Hadhrat Mawlana Khwaja 'Abdur Rahman Chohravi, QaddasAllahu Sirrahu'l 'Azeez is a gift given to him by Allah Ta'ala Himself. It is a compilation of salawaat and salaams on our Holy Prophet Sayyidina wa Mawlana Hadhrat Muhammad al-Mustafa Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam, in 30 chapters.
Each chapter of 48 pages (one of which is the title page), weaves the Asma Allah u'l Husna (The Most Beautiful Names of Allah Ta'ala), Salawaat u'r Rasul (blessings on the Holy Prophet) and dua (invocation) around a particular theme. For example, the theme of the first chapter is "Fee Noorihi wa Zuhoorihi" (On the Holy Prophet's Light And Manifestation); that of the second, "Fee Salawaatihi wa Salaamihi" (On Blessings And Salutations On Him); of the third, "Fee Badnihi wa A'dhaa-ihi" (On His Blessed Body And Limbs) and so on. Each chapter begins with Surah al-Fateha and ends with Surah Ikhlas. However, before Surah al-Fateha, Allah Ta'ala is invoked for the sake of Bismillah. For example, Chapter 7, "Fee Asma-ihi wa Sifaatihi" (On His Blessed Names And Attributes) begins with the following dua: Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem Allahumma innee as-aluka bi-Asmaa-ika Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem Wa bi-Asmaai Habibika Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem Wa bi-Asmaai Jamee-i Anbiyaaika wa Rusulika Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem Wa bi-Asmaai 'Ibaadikassaaliheena Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem. In the name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful O Allah I beg of you through the means of Your Names Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem and through the means of the names of Your beloved Prophet Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem and through the means of the names of all Your Prophets and Messengers Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem and through the means of the names of all Your pious servants Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem. | Salawaat with Hadith Qudsi One of the most pleasing features of this kitab is that Shaykh 'Abdur Rahman Chohravi presents many salawaat with the Hadith Qudsi as well. The difference between Hadith Qudsi and Hadith Nabawi is that while Hadith Nabawi are sayings of the blessed Prophet Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam, Hadith Qudsi is what Allah has communicated to him through revelation, inspiration, or in a dream, and the beloved Prophet has then communicated it in his own words. The Qur'an is of course superior to Hadith Qudsi because besides being revealed, it is Allah's own Word. One of the salawaat in the Majmu'ah containing a Hadith Qudsi is as follows: Allahumma Salli 'alaa Sayyidina Muhammad-i nillazee Qaala fi'l Qudsiyyi Qaal'Allahu Ya'bna Adam-a Kam min siraajinn atfaahu'r reehu Wa kam min 'aabidin afsadahu'l 'ujbu Wa kam min faqeerin afsadahu'l faqru Wa kam min ghaniyyin afsadahu'l ghinaa Wa kam min saheehin afsadahu'l 'aafiyah Wa kam min 'aalimin afsadahu'l 'ilmu Yaa bani Adam-a Zaari'oonee wa raabihoonee wa aasiqoonee wa 'aamiloonee Inna rib'hakum 'indee maa laa 'ainun ra'at Wa laa uzunun sami'at Wa laa khatara 'alaa qalbi basharin Wa laa yanfadu khazaainee Wa laa yanqasu mulkee Ana'l Wahhaab O Allah! Bestow blessings on Sayyidina Muhammad who said in a Hadith Qudsi that Allah said: O son of Adam! How many lamps have been put out by the wind, and how many worshippers have been destroyed by pride, and how many faqeers (derveshes) have been destroyed by faqr (poverty), and how many of the rich have been destroyed by riches, and how many of the healthy have been destroyed by good health, and how many of the learned have been destroyed by knowledge? O son of Adam! Sow for me, profit for my sake, put your confidence in me, and work for me. Truly, the gain you will have with me, no eye has seen, no ear has heard and no human mind has any idea about. My treasures do not run out and my Kingdom does not decrease. I am the Bestower. | The Beloved Prophet's Knowledge of the Unseen Chapter 21, "Fee Ilmihi wa Ilmi Gaybihi" (On His Knowledge Of The Seen And Unseen), has 361 salawaat proving that the blessed Prophet Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam had the knowledge of the seen as well as the unseen. For example, the beloved Prophet Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam had seen heaven and hell, he had seen angel Jibril 'alaihissalaam as well as the other angels, he had been to the seven skies and met the Prophets 'alaihimussalaam on them when he was invited by Allah on mi'raj, he had seen the punishment given to sinners in their graves, he knew who would go to heaven and hell, he knew that Imam Hasan Rady Allahu 'Anhu would one day unite two Muslim factions, and he knew that Sayyidah Fatima Rady Allahu 'Anha would be the first to follow him after he left his earthly existence. He made many other prophecies all of which came true. For example, he prophesized that Allah Ta'ala will conquer Rome and Persia for the Muslims. He knew about Sidratu'l Muntaha (the farthest Lote-tree), Arsh (Allah's Throne), Maqam Mahmud (The Highest Praised Station), as well as the Tasbeehaat (hymns) of the angels in the various heavens. He informed us that the Tasbeeh (hymn) of the angels in the first heaven is "Sub'hana Zi'l Mulki wa'l Malakoot" and Shaykh 'Abdur Rahman Chohravi Rahmatullahi 'alaih has a salaat for it: Allahumma Salli wa Sallim 'alaa Sayyidina Muhammad-in Wa 'alaa aali Sayyidina Muhammad-i Nilladhee akhbara anna Tasbeeha malaaika-ta's-samaa-id-dunyaa Sub'haana Zi'l Mulki Wa'l Malakoot O Allah! Bestow blessings and peace on Sayyidina Muhammad and on the family of Sayyidina Muhammad who informed us that the hymn of the angels on the first sky is: Glory be to Allah! Owner of the Kingdom and Sovereignty In the same way, he informed us about the Tasbeehaat (hymns) of the angels on the other skies as follows: On the second sky: Sub'haana Zi'l Izzati wa'l Jabaroot Glory be to Allah! Possessor of Honour and Omnipotence On the third sky: Su'bhaana'l Hayyi'lladhee laa yamoot Glory be to Allah! Everliving, Everlasting On the fourth sky: Subboohun Quddoosun Rabbunaa wa Rabbu'l Malaaikati Wa'rrooh Glory be to Allah, The Most Holy One, Our Lord, and the Lord of the angels and of the Archangel Jibril Alayhissalam On the fifth sky: Sub'haana Man Jama'a bayna'th-thalji wa'n-naar Glory be to Allah! Who brought together ice and fire On the sixth sky: Sub'haana'l Maliki'l Quddoosi Rabbi Kulli Shay'in wa Ilay-hi'nnushoor Glory be to Allah! The Sovereign, The Most Holy One, Lord of all Creation and to Him is the return (on the Day of Judgement) On the seventh sky: Sub'haana Khaaliqinnoor Glory be to Allah! The Creator of Light When we finish praying Chapter 21 of Majmu'ah Salawaat-u'r-Rasul, we obtain the certitude that Allah gave the sum total of all knowledge, both manifest and hidden to the beloved Prophet Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam who then distributes it among people in proportion to what has been decreed for them by Allah Ta'ala Khaaliq u'l Arsh. | Salaat on the Salaah of the Prophet | | Trust Shaykh 'Abdur Rahman Chohravi Rahmatullahi 'alaih to come up with a salaat with Tasbeehaat as in this instance: Allahumma Salli 'alaa Sayyidina Muhammad-i nilladhee qaala Sub'haanAllahi wa'l Hamdu Lillahi Wa Laa Ilaaha Illallahu Wallahu Akbar Wa Salli 'alaa Sayyidina Muhammad-i nilladhee qaala Sub'haanAllahi wa bi Hamdihi Wa Salli 'alaa Sayyidina Muhammad-i nilladhee qaala Laa Ilaha Illallahu Wahdahoo Laa Sharikalahoo Lahu'l Mulku wa Lahu'l Hamdu wa Huwa 'Alaa Kulli Shay-in Qadeer O Allah! Bestow blessings on Sayyidina Muhammad who said: "Glory be to Allah and all praise is for Allah and none is to be worshipped but Allah and Allah is the Greatest." And bestow blessings on Sayyidina Muhammad who said: "Glory be to Allah as He Himself Glorifies and Praises Himself." And bestow blessings on Sayyidina Muhammad who said: "None is to be worshipped but Allah; He is One; He has no partner. His is the Kingdom and His is the Praise and He has power over all things." | |
