Salaat with the name of Al-Habib

Allah, The Creator and Sustainer of all the worlds, guided and inspired Shaykh Umar 'Ali Umar of Kenya to compose salawaaat on Habib-Allah (The Beloved of Allah) Muhammad al-Mustafa Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam and in one of these salawaat, he included the name of Al-Habib in it. This is just one indication of how much the muhibeen (loving disciples) love their Shaykh. And we notice that this salaat has rhyming prose: the words quboor, bukoor, fujoor, nushoor, and tuhoor rhyme with the name most dear to our heart, Al-Mash-hur!.

Allahumma salli wa sallim 'alaa Sayyidina Muhammad
Wa 'alaa aalihi wa as'haabihi
Salaatan ta'ummu barakatuhaa
Jamee'al mu'mineena wal mu'minaat
Wal muslimeena wal muslimaat
'Alaa man fiddunyaa wa man fil quboor
Wa natana'amu bihaa fil 'ashiyyi wa fil bukoor
Wa nanju bihaa minal ma'asee wal fujoor
Wa nujma'u bihaa yauman nushoor
Ma'a ahl-is-surur-it-tuhoor
Bi-sirri al-Habib Ahmad Al-Mash-hur

O Allah! Bestow blessings and peace on Sayyidina Muhammad
and on his family and companions,
such blessings that will bestow favours
on all the believing men and believing women
and on all the men and women who surrender to Allah,
in this life and in the graves,
and that will bestow boons on us day and night
and that will keep us away from sin and wrong-doing,
and that will keep us on the Day of Rising
with those that are happy, the pure
for the sake of the secret of Al-Habib Ahmad al-Mash-hur

Naf'an Allahu bih
May Allah make us benefit from him, Aameen.
