Chapter Four

TANBEEHI’L ANAAM
Of: SHAYKH ‘ABDUL JALIL BIN ‘AZOOM AL-MAGHRIBI

An Appreciation by Siddiq Osman Noormuhammad

1. RECITE THESE SALAWAAT WHILE FASTING

Welcome to Tanbeehi’l Anaam fee Bayan ‘Uluww Maqam Nabiyyina Muhammad


(Exhorting Mankind in Explaining the Exalted Station of our Prophet Muhammad ), a book of
more than 6,000 salawaat (blessings) and salaams (salutations) on our beloved Holy Prophet
Sayyidina wa Mawlana Muhammad al-Mustafa by Shaykh ‘Abdul Jalil bin Muhammad bin
Ahmad bin ‘Azoom of Qayrawan, Tunisia (passed ahead in 960 A.H / 1553 C.E). This book
is also popularly known as Shifaa’ al-Asqaam wa Mahwa’l Aathaam fi’s-Salaat ‘alaa Khayri’l
Anaam (The Healing of Sicknesses and the Erasing of Sins in invoking Blessing on the Best of
Mankind).

Let us recall that Allah has appointed seventy thousand angels to invoke salawaat and
salaams on the Holy Prophet at his tomb (lovingly referred to as Rawdah or Garden of
Paradise) any one day, and the next day another seventy thousand angels come and offer
salawaat and salaams, and so on. Those angels who obtain such an opportunity once never
obtain it again, because Allah in His Love and Justice wants to provide such an opportunity
to all the angels. And let us remember that the angels neither eat nor drink nor sleep (Laa akla
laa shurba wa laa nawmun lahum). So, transform yourself into an angel, that is, do not eat or
drink and approach Tanbeehi’l Anaam in a state of sawm (fasting) and start to recite salawaat
on the Beloved of Allah, Muhammad-u’r-Rasulullah . Some mashaayikh (spiritual masters)
have indeed formed the habit of completing the recitation of Tanbeehi’l Anaam every month,
especially in Ramadan, the month of fasting.

Indeed Shaykh ‘Abdul Jalil bin ‘Azoom himself conveys to us these teachings in the
following salawaat.

َّ َ ُ َ ّ َ ٓ َ َ َ َّ َ ُ َ َ ْ َ َ َ ّ َ َ ْ ّ َ َ ّ َ َّ ُ ّ ٰ َ

O Allah! Bless and bestow peace on our Master and Patron


Sayyidina Muhammad and on the Family of Sayyidina Muhammad
for whom Allah has kept seventy thousand angels
who surround his tomb

O Allah! Bless and bestow peace on our Master and Patron
Sayyidina Muhammad and on the Family of Sayyidina Muhammad:
whoever does his zikr / dhikr (remembers him) in abundance while fasting,
is forgiven his offenses.

ْ َ ‫ا ﻟﺬ ی ْ ا ﮐ‬
ِ
O Allah! Bless and bestow peace on our Master and Patron
Sayyidina Muhammad and on the Family of Sayyidina Muhammad:
whoever remembers him with abundance as he deserves it,
will be provided shade by Allah in His Shade on the Day (of Judgement)
when there will be no shade except His Shade.

And what better way to remember the beloved Prophet than to invoke salawaat and salaams
of Allah on him while fasting?

Tanbeehi’l Anaam is in two volumes. Volume 1 has 21 chapters while volume 2 has 17 chapters
woven around salawaat on a particular theme. Some of the chapter titles are: Fee Fadli
Mahabbatihee (On the bounty of Love for him), Fee Akhlaaqihi’sh Shareefah wa
Shamaailihi’l Lateefah (His Noble Character and Subtle Qualities), Fi’l Mi‘raj (His Ascension,
body and soul, to the Heavens to meet Allah ), Fi’l Akhbaaraatihi’l Ghaybiyya wa Sidq
Maqaalaatihi’l Marwiyyah (The Reports he gave of the Unseen and the Truth of his Reported
Sayings), Fee Zuhurihi wa ‘Alaamaatihi wa Wilaadatihi wa Ridaa‘atihi (His Manifestation
and his signs, and his Birth and his Nursing), Fee Mu‘jizaatihi’l Baahirah (His Shining
Miracles), and Fee Fadli’sh Shafee‘ish Shaafi‘ (His Bountifulness as an Accepted Intercessor).

And Shaykh Ibn ‘Azoom knew in reality that our beloved Prophet Muhammad ‘Arabi is
an intercessor whose intercession is accepted by Allah . In the Introduction to the book, he
narrates that he saw Rasulullah in a dream. His house appeared all lit up from the light on the
face of Muhammad al-Mustafa . He greeted him three times:
َ َ ‫اﻟﺴ َﻼ ُم َﻋﻠَ ْﻴ‬
َّ َ ُ ٰ َّ َ
ِ ‫ﮏ َاي َر ُﺳﻮل ﷲ‬ ‫اﻟﺼﻠﻮۃ و‬
Blessing and salutation upon you, O Prophetic Messenger of Allah.

Then, he requested him for his shafa‘ah (intercession). The beloved Prophet kissed him and
gave him the good news that he will attain his shafa‘ah. So, he was filled with joy and composed
these two couplets:

2
ْ ‫ﺑ َﺪاری ٓا ِﺧ ًﺬاﺑ َﻴﺪی ْاﻟ َﻴﻤ‬ ًّ َّ ٰ ْ ُ ْ َٔ َ
‫ﲔ‬
ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ‫اﻟﻨ ْﻮ ِم َﺣﻘﺎ‬ ‫ﺖ اﻟ ُﻤ ْﺼ َﻄ ِﰲ‬ ‫راﻳ‬
ْ َ َ
َ ‫اﻟﺸﻔ‬
ْ ‫ﺎﻋﺔِابﻟ َﻴﻤ‬ ّ َ ََ َٓ َ َّ َ‫َوﺑ‬ َََ
‫ﲔ‬ِ ِ ِ ‫ﻞ‬ ِ
ْ
‫ﻴ‬ ‫ﻧ‬ ‫َواﱄ‬ ‫ﴩ ِﱏ‬ ‫َوﻗ ّﺒﻠ ِﲎ‬

I saw the Chosen One (al-Mustafa ) in a dream for true


in my house, taking my right hand,
and he kissed me and gave me the good news and promised
that I will get his intercession with those on the right (the blissful)

Allahu Akbar! (Allah is Supremely Great!)

The fact that Rasulullah himself gave him the glad tidings shows that he approves of the
composition of salawaat and their recitation.

First, he saw Sayyidina ‘Ali al-Murtada in a dream and he realized that this was as a result of
the blessing of the salawaat he composed on Rasulullah .

Then he saw one of his neighbours who had passed ahead who informed him that it had been
mentioned in the heavens that he was one of the servants of Rasulullah who eulogized him,
while Rasulullah looked on, smiling.

After that, he saw his father in a dream who was extremely happy with him. He informed
him that the book of salawaat he had written had been mentioned among the Heavenly Host of
Angels. SubhanAllah (Glorified is Allah!) This shows that the angels love Tanbeehi’l
Anaam. Allahu Akbar (Allah is Supremely Great!) It also shows that he received the glad
tidings of the acceptance of this book of salawaat many times.

Al-Hamdu Lillah (All Praise is for Allah!)

Tanbihi’l Anaam is indeed an encircling ocean of salawaat. Shaykh ‘Abdul Jalil bin ‘Azoom
informs us in the Introduction that in writing this book, he referenced about 100,000 Ahaadith
(Sayings) of the Prophet . He says that he knew of his own helplessness before Allah and
that he was prone to error, but he sought refuge in Allah and decided he had to complete the
book as it was necessary that people should know about the spiritual realities of Prophet
Muhammad and his exalted Station and position before his Lord.

Many ‘ulama (scholars) who came after Shaykh ‘Abdul Jalil bin ‘Azoom benefited from
Tanbeehi’l Anaam. For example, Mawlana ‘Abdulrahman Chohravi benefited from it in
writing his Majmu‘a Salawaat-u’r-Rasul (A Compendium of Blessings on the Prophetic
Messenger ).

2. RECITE IT IN CONGREGATION
Tanbeehi’l Anaam is best recited in congregation. It starts with the verse of the Holy Qur’an:

(#θßϑÏk=y™uρ Ïμø‹n=tã (#θ=|¹ (#θãΖtΒ#u™ š⎥⎪Ï%©!$# $pκš‰r'¯≈tƒ 4 Äc©É<¨Ζ9$# ’n?tã tβθ=|Áム…çμtGx6Íׯ≈n=tΒuρ ©!$# ¨βÎ)

∩∈∉∪ $¸ϑŠÎ=ó¡n@

Surely, Allah and His angels shower blessings on the Prophet. O you who believe, ask
blessings on him and salute him with a worthy salutation. (33:56)

Then follow the salawaat each of which can be said to be composed of two parts. The first part
is:

َّ َ ُ َ ّ َ ٓ َ َ َ َّ َ ُ َ َ ْ َ َ َ ّ َ َ َ ْ ّ َ َ ّ َ َّ ُ ّ ٰ َ
،‫ و ا ِل ﺳ ِﻴ ِﺪان ﳏﻤ ٍﺪ‬، ‫اﻟﻠﻬﻢ ﺻ ِﻞ وﺳ ِﻠﻢ ﺳ ِﻴ ِﺪان وﻣﻮﻻانﳏﻤ ٍﺪ‬

O Allah! Bless and bestow peace on our Master and Patron


Sayyidina Muhammad and on the Family of Sayyidina Muhammad.

This is recited in congregation after which the one who leads the congregation completes the
second part of the salaat. The second part of one of the salawaat is:

ُ ‫ َﺻ َّﲇ‬،‫َا َّﻟﺬ ْی َ ْ َﺻ َّﲇ َﻋﻠَ ْﻴ ِﻪ َوا ِﺣ َﺪ ًۃ‬


َ َ‫ﷲ َﻋﻠَ ْﻴ ِﻪ ﲠ‬
ً‫ﺎﻋ ْﴩا‬ ِ ِ
Whoever invokes Allah’s blessing on him once,
Allah blesses him ten times.

We learn of this in the following Hadith Shareef:

Hadrat Anas Bin Malik narrates that the Holy Prophet said: “If somebody hears my
name, he should invoke Allah’s blessing upon me. When a person asks one blessing upon me,
Allah sends ten blessings upon him, forgives his ten sins, and raises him ten degrees (in
Paradise)." (Ahmad, an-Nasaai).

So, as the congregation recites Tanbeehi’l Anaam, it goes on learning about the Ahaadith
(Sayings) of the Holy Prophet , as well as about Islam in general. Some majalis (spiritual
gatherings) of zikr specialise in the recitation and completion of Tanbeehi’l Anaam and some
mashaayikh (spiritual masters) have memorised the whole of it; indeed all of its more than
6,000 salawaat. Allahu Akbar! (Allah is Supremely Great!)

3. LEARN THE HOLY QUR’AN KAREEM
One of the most remarkable features of Tanbeehi’l Anaam is that all its chapters (as well as their
sub-sections) end with a salaat which contains a few verses, or one verse, or part of a verse from
the Holy Qur’an Kareem. For example, the chapter on mi‘raj (heavenly ascension) ends with the
following salaat.

َّ َ ُ َ ّ َ ٓ َ َ َ َّ َ ُ َ َ ْ َ َ َ ّ َ َ َ ْ ّ َ َ ّ َ َّ ُ ّ ٰ َ
،‫ و ا ِل ﺳ ِﻴ ِﺪان ﳏﻤ ٍﺪ‬، ‫اﻟﻠﻬﻢ ﺻ ِﻞ وﺳ ِﻠﻢ ﺳ ِﻴ ِﺪان وﻣﻮﻻانﳏﻤ ٍﺪ‬

O Allah! Bless and bestow peace on our Master and Patron


Sayyidina Muhammad and on the Family of Sayyidina Muhammad:
The meaning of which is
in what Allah, The Mighty and The Majestic said
befitting the Prophet’s honour and remembrance:
The heart (of the Prophet) did not falsify what he saw.
Will you then dispute with him concerning what he saw?
And indeed he saw Him (Allah’s Nur, Divine Light) in another descent. (53:11-13).
May Allah bless him and bestow peace upon him.

The chapter about the ‘ilm u’l-ghayb (knowledge of the Unseen) of the Prophet ends with
this salaat.

َّ َ ُ َ ّ َ ٓ َ َ َ َّ َ ُ َ َ ْ َ َ َ ّ َ َ َ ْ ّ َ َ ّ َ َّ ُ ّ ٰ َ

Sayyidina Muhammad and on the Family of Sayyidina Muhammad
who was addressed with these Words (in the Qur’an) by
the King, the Mighty, the Bestower (Allah):
Say: He is my Lord; none is to be worshipped but He,
in Him have I put my trust, and to Him do I turn. (13:30)
May Allah bless him and his Family and all his Companions

for as long as rain pours and the doors of the heaven are opened.

Sometimes the salaat with a verse or verses of the Holy Qur’an is in the middle of a chapter as in
this instance.

َّ َ ُ َ ّ َ ٓ َ َ َ َّ َ ُ َ َ ْ َ َ َ ّ َ َ َ ْ ّ َ َ ّ َ َّ ُ ّ ٰ َ

O Allah! Bless and bestow peace on our Master and Patron


Sayyidina Muhammad and on the Family of Sayyidina Muhammad
on whom was revealed:
Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High. Who created, then proportioned. (87:1-2)

So while we recite salawaat from Tanbeehi’l Anaam, we also learn about some of the sacred
teachings from the Holy Qur’an Kareem.

4. LEARN THE BLESSED HADITH SHAREEF

Those who are familiar with the Ahaadith (Sayings) of Rasulullah would love Tanbeehi’l
Anaam as it opens up new vistas of composition of salawaat together with Hadith Shareef.

To appreciate this contribution of Shaykh ‘Abdul Jalil bin ‘Azoom , let us recite three more
salawaat from Tanbeehi’l Anaam, cross referenced with (translations of) the blessed Hadith
Shareef.

Salaat

on Jihad. I seek your advice”. The Prophet enquired, “Is your mother alive?” He answered,
“Yes”. The Prophet said, “Go and serve her, for Paradise lies beneath the feet of mothers”.
(Ahmad, an-Nasaai, Bayhaqi).

your voices with (the recitation of) the Qur’an”. (Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah, Darimi).

5. THE SIFAAT (NOBLE ATTRIBUTES) OF THE HOLY PROPHET


Consider what we learn from the following salawaat about the sifaat (qualities) of the noble
Prophet Sayyidina Muhammad .

َّ َ ُ َ ّ َ ٓ َ َ َ َّ َ ُ َ َ ْ َ َ َ ّ َ َ َ ْ ّ َ َ ّ َ َّ ُ ّ ٰ َ

O Allah! Bless and bestow peace on our Master and Patron


Sayyidina Muhammad and on the Family of Sayyidina Muhammad
who was given the character of Prophet Adam ,
the gnostic knowledge of Prophet Sheeth ,
the bravery of Prophet Nuh ,

Indeed, the beloved Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa combined in himself all the superlative
qualities of all the previous Prophets .

To gain an appreciation of some of the sifaat (attributes) of the noble Prophet , it suffices to
recite the following four salawaat, cross referenced with (translations of) his blessed Hadith
Shareef.

Qur’an”. (Muslim)

Hadith Shareef

Hadrat Buraydah reports that when the Holy Prophet emigrated to Madina, Hadrat
Salman al-Farisi brought a tray full of fresh dates and offered it to him. He asked, “What is
this”? Hadrat Salman said, “It is in charity (sadaqah) for you and your Companions.” He
said, “We do not eat sadaqah”. On the second day too, Hadrat Salman came with a tray of
dates and said, “These dates are a gift”. Then the Holy Prophet and the Companions ate
of those dates. Thereafter, Hadrat Salman saw the Seal of Prophethood (in between his
shoulders) and embraced Islam. (Tirmidhi)

6. THE SUPPLICATIONS OF THE HOLY PROPHET WERE


ANSWERED

The two chapters on the ad‘iya (supplications, plural of du‘a) of the Holy Prophet has 64
salawaat each dealing with a specific du‘a of the beloved Prophet all of which were
answered. For example, he prayed that either ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab or Abu Jahl bin Hisham
accept Islam. His prayer was answered and Sayyidina ‘Umar accepted Islam. We learn of this
in the following Hadith Shareef:

Hadrat ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas reported that the Prophet said, “O Allah! Strengthen Islam
with Abu Jahl bin Hisham, or with ‘Umar bin al-Khattab”. In the morning, Sayyidina ‘Umar
went to the Prophet and accepted Islam; then prayed openly in the masjid. (Ahmad and
Tirmidhi)

The salaat in Tanbeehi’l Anaam is as follows:

َّ َ ُ َ ّ َ ٓ َ َ َ َّ َ ُ َ َ ْ َ َ َ ّ َ َ َ ْ ّ َ َ ّ َ َّ ُ ّ ٰ َ

O Allah! Bless and bestow peace on our Master and Patron
Sayyidina Muhammad and on the Family of Sayyidina Muhammad
who prayed that Islam be strengthened with one of the two ‘Umars
and behold! ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab accepted Islam soon after.

He also prayed for Hadrat ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas that Allah may give him the knowledge
of the Qur’an and Allah gave him so much knowledge that he came to get the title
Tarjumaana’l Qur’an (the interpreter of the Qur’an). We learn of this du‘a in Sahih al-
Bukhari.

Narrated Hadrat ibn ‘Abbas : Once the Holy Prophet embraced me and said, “O Allah!
Bestow on him the knowledge of the Book (Qur’an)”. (al-Bukhari).

And behold! He came to be called the Interpreter of the Qur’an.

The blessed Prophet also prayed for Hadrat Abu Hurayrah, for Hadrat Abu Hurayrah’s
mother and for Hadrat Anas, may Allah be pleased with them. The relevant Ahaadith Shareef
and salawaat are as follows:

Prayer For Hadrat Abu Hurayrah

Narrated Hadrat Abu Hurayrah : I said to Allah’s Prophetic Messenger , “I hear many
Sayings (ahaadith) from you but I forget them”. Allah’s Prophetic Messenger said, “Spread
your rida (garment).” I did accordingly and then he moved his hands as if filling them with
something (and emptied them in my rida) and then said, “Take and wrap this sheet over your
body”. I did it and after that I never forgot anything. (al-Bukhari)

Prayer For Hadrat Abu Hurayrah’s Mother

Hadrat Abu Hurayrah said: I used to invite my mother who was a polytheist to accept Islam,
and one day when I had invited her and she caused me to hear something about Allah’s Prophetic
Messenger which I do not care to repeat, I went to him weeping and said, “Messenger of
Allah! Supplicate to Allah to guide Abu Hurayrah’s mother.” He said, “O Allah, guide Abu
Hurayrah’s mother”. So I came out cheered by the Prophet’s supplication. When I came to the
door I found it shut, and when she heard the sound of my feet, she said, “Stay where you are,
Abu Hurayrah”. I heard the splashing of water, and when she had bathed and put on her garment,

11
but was in too big a hurry to put on her head-covering, and opened the door and said, “I testify,
Abu Hurayrah, that there is no god but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and
Messenger”. I then returned to Allah’s Messenger weeping for joy, and he praised Allah
and said some good words. (Muslim)

Prayer For Hadrat Anas

Umm Sulaym (the mother of Hadrat Anas bin Malik) narrates that she requested (the beloved
Prophet ), “Messenger of Allah ! Anas is your servant. Supplicate to Allah for him.”
He said, “O Allah, multiply his property and his children, and bless him in what You give him”.
Hadrat Anas said, “I swear by Allah that my property is abundant and that my children and
grandchildren exceed a hundred in number to-day”. (al-Bukhari and Muslim).

7. LEARN ABOUT THE ‘ILM U’L-GHAYB OF THE PROPHET IN A


MAJLIS OF ‘ILM AND ZIKR

It appears that Shaykh ‘Abdul Jalil bin ‘Azoom wants to teach us everything about Islam in
salawaat. He establishes a majlis (gathering) of ‘ilm (knowledge) and zikr (remembrance) for

12
that purpose. And the ‘ilm is both the ‘ilm uz-zahir (manifestly open knowledge) and the ‘ilm
u’l-ghayb (knowledge of the Unseen) that Allah gave to the Beloved Prophet .

Allah says in the Holy Qur’an:

∩⊄⊄∪ ÞΟŠÏm§9$# ß⎯≈oΗ÷q§9$# uθèδ ( Íοy‰≈y㤱9$#uρ É=ø‹tóø9$# ÞΟÎ=≈tã ( uθèδ ωÎ) tμ≈s9Î) Iω “Ï%©!$# ª!$# uθèδ

He is Allah, none is to be worshipped but He, the Knower of all the Unseen and the seen. He is
the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. (59:22)

Allah is the Creator of everyone and everything, including all the knowledge, both the open
and the hidden, about the seen and the Unseen. He gives the knowledge of the Unseen to the
Prophets . Allah says:

y7ø‹s9Î) ÏμŠÏmθçΡ É=ø‹tóø9$# Ï™!$t7/Ρr& ô⎯ÏΒ y7Ï9≡sŒ


These are the news of the (things) Unseen which We reveal to you (O Prophet Muhammad ).
(3:44)

( â™!$t±o„ ⎯tΒ ⎯Ï&Î#ß™•‘ ⎯ÏΒ ©É<tGøgs† ©!$# £⎯Å3≈s9uρ É=ø‹tóø9$# ’n?tã öΝä3yèÎ=ôÜãŠÏ9 ª!$# tβ%x. $tΒuρ

And Allah will not disclose to you (O people) the secrets of the Unseen but Allah chooses of His
(Prophetic) Messengers whom He pleases (to give the knowledge of the Unseen). (3:179)

∩⊄⊆∪ &⎦⎫ÏΨŸÒÎ/ É=ø‹tóø9$# ’n?tã uθèδ $tΒuρ


And he (the Prophet ) does not withhold (the knowledge of) the Unseen. (81:24)

One of the chapters of Tanbeehi’l Anaam has 148 salawaat about the knowledge of the Unseen
which Allah gave to the Prophet , about what was going to happen on earth in the future
and what was going to happen in the Hereafter. Let us gain the barakaat (blessings) of reciting a
few of these salawaat.

There are four salawaat about the martyrs of the Battle of Mu’ta one of which is:

َّ َ ُ َ ّ َ ٓ َ َ َ َّ َ ُ َ َ ْ َ َ َ ّ َ َ َ ْ ّ َ َ ّ َ َّ ُ ّ ٰ َ

O Allah! Bless and bestow peace on our Master and Patron

13
Sayyidina Muhammad and on the Family of Sayyidina Muhammad
who announced the martyrdom of Hadrat Zayd ibn Haritha
and Hadrat Ja‘far ibn Abi Talib at-Tayyaar before the news arrived (of their passing ahead).

Relevant Hadith

Narrated Hadrat Anas : The Prophet had informed the people about the martyrdom of
Hadrat Zayd, Hadrat Ja‘far and Hadrat ‘Abdullah ibn Rawaha before the news of their death
reached them. He said with his eyes flowing with tears, “Zayd took the flag and was martyred,
then Ja‘far took the flag and was martyred, and then Ibn Rawaha took the flag and was martyred.
Finally, the flag was taken by one of Allah’s Swords (that is, Hadrat Khalid bin al-Walid )
and Allah gave them (the Muslims) victory. (al-Bukhari)

and it happened just as he had informed and commended her.

We learn from sirah (biography) that the Prophet had prophesied that Umm Haram bint
Milhan al-Khazrajiyya , the wife of Hadrat ‘Ubadah ibn as-Samit of Madina would go on
the military expedition by sea. In the year 27 A.H., 16 years after the Prophet passed ahead,
during the Khilafat of Sayyidina Uthman , she joined the Muslim army with her husband in a
sea expedition to Cyprus, fell from her riding animal, and passed ahead as a martyr.

Relevant Hadith

Sayyidina ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab reported that Allah’s Prophetic Messenger said: “A man
named Uways will come to you from Yemen, leaving there only his mother. He had been
afflicted by leprosy and made a supplication to Allah Who removed it all except to the extent
of a dinar (or dirham, a coin). If any of you meet him, tell him to pray for forgiveness for you”.
In another version he said that he heard Allah’s Prophetic Messenger say, “The best of the
Tabi‘in (Followers of the next generation) will be a man named Uways whose mother is alive
and he has been afflicted by leprosy. Tell him that he must pray for forgiveness for you.
(Muslim)

Allah also gave the ‘ilm ul-ghayb to the Prophet about the Hereafter. For example, he
informed us that Al-Hamdu Lillah (All Praise is for Allah) fills the Scale of good deeds on
the Day of Judgement.

Sayyidina Muhammad and on the Family of Sayyidina Muhammad
who said: the phrase Al-Hamdu Lillah (All Praise is for Allah) fills the Scale
(of good deeds on the Day of Judgement).

Relevant Hadith

Hadrat Abu Malik al-Harith ibn ‘Asim al-‘Ash‘ari reported that the Prophetic Messenger of
Allah said: Purity is half of Faith, Al-Hamdu Lillah (All Praise is for Allah) fills the Scale
(of good deeds), and SubhanAllah (Glorified is Allah) and Al-Hamdu Lillah (All Praise is for
Allah) each fills or both fill that which is between the heaven and the earth. Prayer is light,
charity is a proof, patience is brightness, the Qur’an is an argument for you or against you.
Everyone begins the day and is a vendor of himself, either freeing or destroying himself.
(Muslim)

So far, we have talked about the ‘ilm ul-ghayb (knowledge of the Unseen) of the Prophet .
Now we come to his ‘ilm uz-zahir (openly manifest knowledge). An example of this is the
chapter on enjoining good and forbidding evil. In it, we learn that the Holy Prophet advised
Muslims to follow the Qur’an and the Sunnah, establish the five Arkan-al-Islam (Pillars of
Islam), avoid haram (the prohibited), go for jihad when called upon (to fight against non-
Muslims), vie to pray the Salah (obligatory five times daily worship) in the front row, respect the
‘ulama (learned scholars), be patient in the face of calamities, attend gatherings of ‘ilm
(learning) and Zikrullah (remembrance of Allah ), do zikr at all times, both openly and in
seclusion, say takbir (Allahu Akbar) on ayyaam u’t-tashreek (the three days following ‘Eid-

15
u’l-Adhaa), wash the dead before burial, offer Salaatu’l janaza (the funeral prayer), repay
debts, be ritually pure, use miswaak (tooth stick) to clean the teeth, fast (non-obligatory fasts) on
the 13th, 14th and 15th of every (lunar) month, fast 6 days in the month of Shawwal after ‘Eid,
fast Mondays and Thursdays, fast on the ninth and tenth of the month of Muharram, be of good
behaviour, do justice among wives, and so on. He forbade ascribing partners to Allah , and
taught us not to follow satan, not to follow one’s lusts, to avoid waste, not to talk while the Imam
is giving khutba (sermon), not to be obscene and shameless, not to enter a house without
permission, not to argue uselessly, not to oppress, not to be arrogant and jealous, not to contract
temporary marriage (mut‘a), not to fast on the days of ‘Eid, and so on. In Tanbeehil Anaam,
each of these teachings has a salaat that goes with it. The Shaykh makes you learn Islam while
reciting salawaat. He is a Sunni ‘alim (learned scholar) and ‘abid (worshipper of Allah ) who
convenes a majlis (spiritual gathering) of ‘ilm and zikr with salawaat at the same time.

In this majlis, a teaching enjoining good is followed by a teaching forbidding evil as follows:

َّ َ ُ َ ّ َ ٓ َ َ َ َّ َ ُ َ َ ْ َ َ َ ّ َ َ َ ْ ّ َ َ ّ َ َّ ُ ّ ٰ َ

8. THE HOLY PROPHET IS THE IMAM


The chapter Fee Imamatihi’l ‘Aliyya li-Jamee‘il Bariyya (His Exalted Leadership over one and
all) tells us that the Beloved Prophet is the Imam of the mursaleen (Prophetic Messengers of
Allah ) and the anbiyaa’ (Prophets ), of the saadiqeen (the truthful), the mukhliseen
(purely sincere), saabireen (the patient in the face of trials and tribulations), muslimeen (those
who surrender to Allah and accept Islam), mu’mineen (Faithful believers), qaaniteen (who
obey Allah ), mustagfireen (those who seek forgiveness from Allah ), muhajireen (the
Emigrants for the sake of Allah ), mujahideen (those who do jihad), az-zaahideen (the
abstinent), al-‘Arabi wa’l ‘Ajam (the Arabs as well as non-Arabs), muqarrabeen (those drawn
near to Allah ), tayyibeen (the pleasant), taahireen (the pure, inwardly and outwardly),

16
tawwaabeen (the repentant), faaizeen (the successful), raaki‘een (those who bow down in
worship to Allah ), sajideen (those who fall prostrate in worship to Allah ), zaakireen
(those who remember Allah ), muttaqeen (the pious), muhsineen (those who do good with
excellence), the haramayn (the Sacred Masjid in Makkah and the sanctified Masjid an-Nabawi
in Madina), and so on. Each of these qualities of Rasulullah has a salaat for a total of 86

9. IMAN BETWEEN HOPE AND FEAR


A Muslim’s Faith (Iman) in the religion of Islam is said to lie between hope of rewards in
Paradise, and fear of trials on the Day of Judgement and of punishment in hell for sins. The
beloved Prophet gave glad tidings of attaining Paradise through fulfilling huquq Allah
(duties towards Allah ) and huquq u’l-‘ibaad (duties towards humanity), and issued warnings
about the Day of Judgement and about hell-fire for failing to fulfil these duties. One whole
chapter of Tanbeehi’l Anaam has salawaat with admonitions about the Day of Judgement, and it
stands out in that it is profuse in the use of verses of the Holy Qur’an Kareem which refer to it.
Two such salaatayn are:

َّ َ ُ َ ّ َ ٓ َ َ َ َّ َ ُ َ َ ْ َ َ َ ّ َ َ َ ْ ّ َ َ ّ َ َّ ُ ّ ٰ َ

O Allah! Bless and bestow peace on our Master and Patron


Sayyidina Muhammad and on the Family of Sayyidina Muhammad:
An invocation of blessing by the servant of Allah hoping (to obtain forgiveness) on
The Day on which a man shall flee from his (own) brother
and from his mother and father. (80:34-35)

except for him who brings to Allah a sound heart. (26:88-89)

Each of these salawaat ends with a verse or verses (or part of a verse) of the Holy Qur’an about
the Day of Judgement. Examples are:

10. AS-SALAWAAT U’L-HURUFIYYA

Shaykh ‘Abdul Jalil bin ‘Azoom has also composed salawaat with all the letters (huruf) of
the Arabic alphabet from “alif” to “yaa”, one salaat for each letter. Such salawaat can be
referred to, for ease of understanding, as “As-salawaat u’l-hurufiyyah”. They begin as follows:

َّ َ ُ َ ّ َ ٓ َ َ َ َّ َ ُ َ َ ْ َ َ َ ّ َ َ َ ْ ّ َ َ ّ َ َّ ُ ّ ٰ َ

،‫ و ا ِل ﺳ ِﻴ ِﺪان ﳏﻤ ٍﺪ‬، ‫اﻟﻠﻬﻢ ﺻ ِﻞ وﺳ ِﻠﻢ ﺳ ِﻴ ِﺪان وﻣﻮﻻانﳏﻤ ٍﺪ‬

O Allah! Bless and bestow peace on our Master and Patron


Sayyidina Muhammad and on the Family of Sayyidina Muhammad:
The letter “alif” is for the new beginning.

O Allah! Bless and bestow peace on our Master and Patron


Sayyidina Muhammad and on the Family of Sayyidina Muhammad:
The letter “baa” is for the beginning of the invention.

O Allah! Bless and bestow peace on our Master and Patron


Sayyidina Muhammad and on the Family of Sayyidina Muhammad:
The letter “taa” is for complete benefits.

O Allah! Bless and bestow peace on our Master and Patron


Sayyidina Muhammad and on the Family of Sayyidina Muhammad:
The letter “thaa” is for unshakeable Tenets of Belief (in Islam).

Each of the letters of the alphabet is thus said to have a meaning and to stand for something.

11. SALAWAAT IN THE FORM OF A MATHNAWI


When we recite Tanbeehi’l Anaam, we begin to marvel not only at the love that Shaykh ‘Abdul
Jalil bin ‘Azoom has for the Holy Prophet but also at the high level of his scholarship.
We notice that he has written the salawaat in such a way that each couple of the salaatayn
rhyme in the final word. For example, in the four salawaat quoted from the “Hurufiyyah”
above, the words ibtidaa‘ and ikhtiraa‘ rhyme, and the words fawaaid and ‘aqaaid rhyme. The
ending words of the next two salaatayn rhyme in another letter and so on. This feat is achieved
in two volumes of the book for a total of 701 pages with more than 6,000 salawaat and salaams.
Maa shaa’ Allah! (Whatever Allah wills!) This then is salawaat in Arabic in the poetic diction
of a mathnawi, in poetic prose! Surely, who can beat Muslim scholarship?

12. SALAWAAT WITH DU‘A AND ASMA U’L-HUSNA


The final chapter Fee itmaam i’s-Salawaat i’l-Mukarramah wa’d-Du‘a bi Asmaillahi
Ta‘aala’l-Mu‘azzamah (Completion of the Noble Invocation of Blessings with Magnificent
Supplication Using the Most Beautiful Names of Allah, The Exalted) fills one’s heart with joy on
reciting 198 salawaat together with the Asma’ and Sifat (Attributes) of Allah . The most
well-known Asma u’l-Husna are 99, and in this instance, the salawaat that have been composed
by Shaykh ‘Azoom are exactly twice that number! Allahu Akbar (Allah is Supremely
Great!). It is fitting to conclude with one of these salawaat.

O Allah! Bless and bestow peace on our Master and Patron
Sayyidina Muhammad and on the Family of Sayyidina Muhammad.
With this salaat provide us with a covering in life as well as after death;
O the Hearer of voices.

May Allah continue to guide us to offer salawaat on the Holy Prophet in ever increasing
profusion every day, Aameen Yaa Rabba’l ‘Aalameen (May it be so, O Lord of the worlds!).

Al-Fatiha!
