RICH SUFI VOCABULARY

Indeed, each salaat that Imam al-Habshi composed is spiritually laden with rich Sufi vocabulary in praise of the beloved Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa Sallallahu 'alayhi wa Sallam, for example that he is:

As-Saadiq-i'l-Amin (the truthful and trustworthy),

Habibi Rabbi'l 'Aalameen (the beloved of the Lord of the worlds),

Al-Habibi'l Qareebi't Taahiri'l Mutahhar (the Beloved, the Near and dear, the Pure, purified by Allah),

Saahibu'l qabdati'l asliyyah (the one who had the original [spiritual] seizure [of the heart]),

Sayyidu'l Awwaleen wa'l Aakhireen (master of the first and the last, master of those who preceded and those who came in their wake),

Ahmadi'l Mahmoodi fi'z zaati wa's sifaati wa'l af'aali wa'l a'maali wa'n niyyah (the most praiseworthy; laudable in his being, attributes, actions, deeds and intentions), and so on.
