Practices of attaining a Wakeful state of Seeing the Prophet peace be upon him and using Salawat Azeemiyyah

Practices of attaining a Wakeful State of Seeing the Prophet peace be upon him. This is really worth reading.

Practices of attaining a Wakeful state of Seeing the Prophet peace be upon him and  using Salawat Azeemiyyah.

Practice of (Muraqabah-visualization) during salawat is emphasised by Sidi Abd al-Karim al-Jili (qaddas Allahu sirru) Vision of the Prophet might be attained through constant salawat over the Prophet  peace be upon him from Ibn Arabi.

While, Sidi Ahmad Imad ad-Din al-Wasit Shadhili (qaddas Allahu sirru) emphasized attaching oneself to the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) ruhani -Spiritual presence and reciting the Salawat  “as if you were in his presence seeing him…” Sidi Abd al-Karim al-Jili (qaddas Allahu sirru) emphasized this aspect of (Muraqabah-visualization),

the object of which was “for a real vision to replace a synthetic one, for the cultivated visualization of the Prophet peace be upon him to become the actual, waking vision of the Prophet peace be upon him, ru’yat al-nabi yaqzatan”

The process of Practice of (Muraqabah-visualization) of  Prophet peace be upon him "Continuously call to mind his image… If you have seen him in your sleep, call that image to mind. If you have not, bless him, and in your dhikr imagine yourself with him in his life. He hears you and sees you whenever you mention him…  

If you cannot do this and you have visited his tomb, recall its image in your mind. Whenever you do dhikr or bless him, be as if you were standing at his tomb, in all honor and respect… If you have not visited his tomb, continue to bless him, and imagine him hearing you."

Using Sidi Ahmad Ibn Idris's Salawat Azeemiyyah for a Wakeful state of Seeing the Prophet peace be upon him, he uses the word ijma’ with both its meanings in mind: allow me to meet him, and unite me with him, and join me to/with him [the Prophet peace be upon him],

Just as You joined the Ruh with the nafs, Outwardly (zaahiran) and inwardly (baatinan), in wakefulness and in sleep…. meaning In (this world) before the next in'shallah; see Salawat Azeemiyyah for link in comments.

My notes: The secret is visualisation and focus from the heart by making a Niyyah and read salawat with love and feeling that love and Nur light enter ones heart and through deep slow breathing in an empty room.

One may focus on the green dome, or the blessed Sandal Nalayin, or the blessing birth mark on the shoulder, or simply read the meanings of the salawat and feel and allow it to cover your soul and heart, and be wrapped as if your with him (peace be upon him) in the cave like Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (qaddas Allahu sirru), or as if like the Baby Sayyiduna Ali (qaddas Allahu sirru) who only gazed at his vision and blessed face.

Further indication is also given in a beautiful book of Salawat called, 'The Muhammadan Treasures', by Muhammad Muntasir Ahmad Hamid al-Halwani published by Sakinapublishing.com link here The Muhammdan Treasures.

(Note this was posted on my facebook in July 2014)

Also please have a read of post 'Seven mountains a Salik must conquer in the quest towards his goal'. Which talks about Salawat Azeemiyyah too.

The Great Merits of Salawat Azeemiyya reading it once equals 1 Million Dalai'l al-Khayrat and much more in weight than Salawat al-Fatihi.

English meaning of Salawat Azeemiyya: O Allah, I ask by the Magnificent Light of Your Face, Which filled pillars of the Majestic Divine Throne, and by it are upheld the worlds of Allah, the Immense. 

To send blessings upon our Master Muhammad of magnificent worth, and upon the family of the Prophet of Allah, the exalted, as much as the greatness of the Essence of Allah, the Great. In every glance and in every breath, as numerous as that is contained within the Knowledge of Allah, the Great. 

A prayer that is perpetual in the perpetuity of Allah, al Azim. In glorification of your worth, O our Master Muhammad, O you of the most noble nature, and send peace upon him and his family just as much, and join him with me, just as You joined the soul with the nafs, outwardly and inwardly, in wakefulness and in sleep. 

And make him, O Lord, a soul for my body in every aspect. In the here and now, before the next world to come, O the Magnificent One.

Salawat Azeemiyya; 

Allahumma inni as’aluka bi-nuri wajhillahil ‛Azim. Alladhi mala’a arkana ‛arshillahil ‛Azim, wa qamat bihi ‛awalimullahil ‛Azim, 

an tusalli ‛ala mawlana Muhammadin dhil-qadril ‛Azim, wa ‛ala ali nabiyyillahil ‛Azim, bi-qadri ‛azamati dhatillahil ‛Azim, fi kulli lamhatin wa nafasin ‛adada ma fi ‛ilmillahil ‛Azim, 

salatan da’imatan bi-dawamillahil ‛Azim, ta‛ziman  li-haqqika ya mawlana ya Muhammadu ya dhal-khuluqil ‛Azim, wa sallim ‛alayhi wa ‛ala alihi mithla dhalik, wajma‛ bayni wa-baynahu kama jama‛ta baynarruhi wannafsi, 

zahiran wa batinan, yaqzatan wa manaman, waj‛alhu ya Rabbi ruhan li-dhati min jami‛il wujuhi, fiddunya qablal akhirati, ya ‛Azim.

Ijaza for all to read Salawat Azeemiyya from Shaykh Salih al-Ja'fari (qaddas Allahu Sirru) who says:

"And I give ijaza to all the brothers from the Idrisi tariqa and from others, from the East to the West of the world, in this Salaat Azeemiyya, in which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave me ijaza.

And likewise I give them ijaza in the First Salaat, which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) heard from me, and like wise I give them ijaza with the rest of the salawat, which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave me ijaza in by saying:

“With it and with other than it.”

And I make my sanad in that the Messenger of Allah, (ﷺ). And I have great hope that everyone who hears these words of mine, and turns with his heart and body toward these salawat, and recites them regularly with love and belief, that he will see him (ﷺ), in sleep and in the waking. And nothing stands between me and the doubters except trying."
