Aṣ-Ṣalātu al-ʿAẓīmiyyah

الصَّلَاةُ الْعَظِيمِيَّةُ

Arabic text

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِنُورِ وَجْهِ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ
الَّذِي مَلَأَ أَرْكَانَ عَرْشِ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ
وَقَامَتْ بِهِ عَوَالِمُ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ
أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مَوْلَانَا مُحَمَّدٍ ذِي الْقَدْرِ الْعَظِيمِ
وَعَلَى آلِ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ
بِقَدْرِ عَظَمَةِ ذَاتِ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ
فِي كُلِّ لَمْحَةٍ وَنَفَسٍ عَدَدَ مَا فِي عِلْمِ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ
صَلَاةً دَائِمَةً بِدَوَامِ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ
تَعْظِيمًا لِحَقِّكَ يَا مَوْلَانَا يَا مُحَمَّدُ يَا ذَا الْخُلُقِ الْعَظِيمِ
وَسَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ
وَاجْمَعْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ كَمَا جَمَعْتَ بَيْنَ الرُّوحِ وَالنَّفْسِ
ظَاهِرًا وَبَاطِنًا يَقَظَةً وَمَنَامًا
وَاجْعَلْهُ يَا رَبِّ رُوحًا لِذَاتِي مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْوُجُوهِ
فِي الدُّنْيَا قَبْلَ الْآخِرَةِ
يَا عَظِيمُ

English translation

O Allah, I ask You by the Light of the Mighty Face of Allah
the Light that has filled the pillars of the Mighty Throne of Allah,
and by which the worlds of Allah the Mighty are upheld
to send prayers upon our master Muhammad, the one of tremendous rank,
and upon the family of the tremendous Prophet of Allah,
according to the greatness of the Essence of Allah the Mighty
in every glance and breath, as many as are contained in the knowledge of Allah the Mighty
a prayer everlasting with the everlastingness of Allah the Mighty
in exaltation of your due, O our master Muhammad, O you of sublime character.

And grant peace upon him and upon his family likewise.
And join me to him as You joined spirit and self
outwardly and inwardly, in wakefulness and in sleep.
And make him, O Lord, a spirit for my very being from every aspect,
in this world before the Hereafter.
O Mighty One!
