In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful. May Allah, the Exalted, send blessings and peace upon our Master Muhammad, his family and his companions. O Allah! By the rank that Your Prophet, our Master Muhammad (peace be upon him) has with You, by the love You have for him and he has for You, and by the secret between You and him, I ask You to send blessings and peace upon him, his family and his companions. Increase my love for him many times over. For his sake and his lofty stations, make me truly know him. Grant me success in following his way, living his manners and his sunnah. Grant me resolve in this. Honor me by allowing me to see the Messenger (peace be upon him). Gladden me by letting me converse with him. Remove difficulties, barriers, intermediaries and veils. Let my ears partake of his sweet address. Allow me to benefit from the knowledge and gnosis of the Messenger (peace be upon him), O Allah!... Make my prayers upon him a complete, pure, radiant light that erases every injustice, darkness, doubt, shirk, disbelief, falsehood and sin. Make that salat a cause for my purification. Through these blessings, raise me to the summit of the station of sincerity, so that no doubt remains in me that any worship is due to any besides You. Thus may I be worthy of Your presence and be joined among Your close friends. Grant that I do all this while always holding fast to the manners and sunnah of the Messenger (peace be upon him), seeking help from his noble person. O Allah! O Light! O Truth! O Manifest! O Allah! O Light! O Truth! O Manifest! O Allah! O Light! O Truth! O Manifest!

Send blessings upon him and upon his household, drawn from the purest lineages, with a blessing that never ceases in this world and the next, in the Garden and its eternity. And send blessings upon him that renew his joy on the Day of Reckoning when he emerges from his grave and is sent on the Buraq to the gathering place.

He clarified and explained the path of Islam, exalted it, broke the idols, made Your rulings manifest, turned people away from what is unlawful, and bestowed favors on the believers. So send blessings upon him and his household with the most excellent blessings in every place and assembly where angels, jinn and humans circle. Send upon him a blessing that You make for us provision in the Hereafter, night and day, after which come the fragrances of mercy sweeter than musk, followed by Your forgiveness and pleasure. O Allah! Send blessings upon him, for he is the best from whom goodness is sought; from his brow light increases, and the sun and moon take from his light; beside his generosity the clouds and seas are small; the earth shines with its signs; his miracles are told by the Qur'an and the mass-transmitted reports. Send blessings upon him and his household, and upon his companions who migrated with him and helped his religion, the best of emigrants and helpers. As long as birds sing the hymns of Your remembrance in the thick trees, and clouds without lightning pour down heavy rain, send continuous blessings upon him. And by the continuance of Your blessings, grant him multiplied reward.

O Allah! Send a blessing upon our master Muhammad and his pure, noble household that will endure without end, as Your majesty and generosity endure without end.
