Sunte ho bekaso fariyad ki gause aazam Naat Lyrics
Sunte ho bekaso ki fariyad gause aazam
Mazalum tumse paate hain dad gause aazam
Jalwo se apne karke aabad gause aazam
Khadim ka dil banado bagdad gause aazam
Sunte ho be kason ki………………………………………..
Mere watan se mujko bagdad main bulakar
Bande alam se kardo aazad gause aazam
Sunte ho be kaso ki…………………………………………….
Apne gulam ka dhar rosan karo kadam se
Chamaka tumhare damse bagdad gause aazam
Sunte ho be kaso ki…………………………………………….
Kehdo zaban se jo kuchh mangega wo milega
Kardo gada ka apne dilshad gause aazam
Sunte ho be kaso ki…………………………………………….
Bahare alam main mere bere pe hai tabahi
Duba muje bachalo fariyad gause aazam
Sunte ho be kaso ki…………………………………………….
Lillah ab khabar lo kadmo se dur rah kar
‘Kasim’ ki zindagi hain barbad gause aazam
Sunte ho be kaso ki…………………………………………….
4. AS-SALAAT U’L-KUBRA
As-Salaat u’l-Kubra or the “big salaat”, is a spiritual mosaic of 33 salawaat, 25 verses of the
Holy Qur’an Kareem and du‘a (supplication to Allah ) interspersed among the salawaat. It is
included in books already mentioned such as Fuyudaat u’r-Rabbaniyyah, Awraad u’l-
Qaadiriyyah Rahmaniyyah, Awraad u’l-Qaadiriyyah, and Afdal u’s-Salawaat.
The very first of its 20 pages gives us a flavour of this spiritual masterpiece.
In the Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful.
Certainly, there has come to you a Prophetic Messenger from among yourselves,
grievous to him is your suffering, full of concern for you,
to the believers, (he is) compassionate, merciful. (9:128)
I worship Allah, Who is my Lord and I do not ascribe any partner to Him.
O Allah! I ask of You for the sake of Your Most Beautiful Names.
None is to be worshipped except You, Glorified are You. (21:87)
(O Allah) Bless Sayyidina Muhammad
and the Family of Sayyidina Muhammad
as You blessed Sayyidina Ibrahim
and the Family of Sayyidina Ibrahim.
Surely, You are Praiseworthy, Glorious.
O Allah! Bless and bestow complete peace on Sayyidina Muhammad,
the Prophet not taught by any human (but directly by You, O Allah)
and on his Family and Companions.
And may Allah’s blessing be on Sayyidina Muhammad
and on the Family of Sayyidina Muhammad,
such a blessing which he deserves.
O Allah! O Lord of Sayyidina Muhammad and the Family of Sayyidina Muhammad,
bless Sayyidina Muhammad and the Family of Sayyidina Muhammad
and bestow a reward on Sayyidina Muhammad (Allah’s blessings and peace be on him)
which he deserves.
O Allah! Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Great Throne,
our Lord and the Lord of everything,
and the One Who sent the Tawraat, the Injeel, the Zabur and the Great Qur’an.
O Allah! You are The First so there is nothing that came before You,
6
and You are The Last so there is nothing that comes after You,
and You are The Manifest with nothing above You,
and You are The Hidden with nothing below You.
All praise belongs to You.
None is to be worshipped but You.
Glorified are You; surely, I have been one of the unjust. (21:87)
Whatever Allah wished, happened.
Whatever He does not wish, does not happen.
There is no strength except with Allah.
O Allah! Bless Sayyidina Muhammad,
Your Ultimate Devotee, and the Prophet sent by You, and Your Prophetic Messenger,
a favourable, agreeable blessing,
as You have ordered us to invoke blessing on him
and grant him complete peace.
We notice that As-Salaatu’l-Kubra begins with verse number 128 from Surah at-Tawba, then
invokes Allah with his Most Beautiful Names, follows this up with As-Salaatu
Ibrahimiyyah and two other salaat, after which there is du‘a, verse number 87 from Surah al
Anbiyaa, praise of Allah , and more salawaat, and so it continues. As-Salaatu’l-Kubra ends
with this verse of the Holy Qur’an Kareem.
Their prayer therein will be: “Sanctity to You, O Allah”,
and their greeting therein will be: “Peace”,
and the end of their prayer will be:
“All praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds”. (10:10)
As Shaykh ‘Abdul Qadir al-Jilani was a Hafiz u’l-Qur’an, we should intend to become
Hafiz u’l-Qur’an, and/or make our children/grand-children huffaz u’l-Qur’an. As he was so
profuse in reciting the Qur’an, we should have the good habit of reciting at least one juz of the
Qur’an every day. Since he has included the Asma’ al-Husna (the Most Beautiful Names of
Allah) in his salawaat, we should memorize the Asma’ al-Husna. As he was so profuse in
reciting salawaat, we should recite salat ala’n-Nabi ﷺ at least a hundred times a day. Since
he has included the Kalim at-Tawhid (The Declaration of Muslim Faith) with the salawaat, we
should recite the Kalima at-Tawhid at least a hundred times every day.
Laa ilaha Illallah Muhammad u’r-Rasulullah
None is to be worshipped but Allah.
Muhammad is the Prophetic Messenger of Allah.
In total, there are 25 verses of the Holy Qur’an Kareem in As-Salaatu’l-Kubra. Some of these
verses in which Allah Himself praises and honours the Holy Prophet ﷺ are:
Yaa Seen.
By the Qur’an full of Wisdom.
Most surely, you are one of the Prophetic Messengers,
on a straight way. (36:1-4)
Certainly, Allah conferred a great favour on the Muslim believers
when He sent among them a Prophetic Messenger from among themselves,
who recites to them His revelations, and purifies them,
and teaches them the Book and the Wisdom,
although before that they were surely in manifest error. (3:164)
And when Allah took the Covenant of the Prophets,
(He said): (Behold) what I have given you of the Book and Wisdom.
Afterward, there will come to you a Prophetic Messenger confirming what is with you;
you shall believe in him and you shall help him.
He said: do you agree and take this My Covenant as binding on you?
They said: We agree.
He said: Then bear witness. And I am with you among the witnesses. (3:81)
And We sent you not but as a mercy for all the worlds. (21:107)
And great is the Grace of Allah upon you (O Prophet). (4:113)
And your Lord will give you (all good) that you will be well-pleased.(93:5)
The Shaykh goes on to give a tafsir (explanation) of this verse. He quotes part of the Hadith
Qudsi (Sacred Saying) from which we learn that on the Day of Judgement, the Beloved Prophet
ﷺ shall go into sajda (prostration) before Allah to seek intercession. He will be told:
“Speak and you shall be heard, and ask and you shall be given, and intercede and your
intercession will be accepted.” All that the Holy Prophet ﷺ wanted was the forgiveness of his
Ummah. May Allah forgive us, Aameen.
These verses and their tafsir in some instances are interspersed in an intricate pattern among the
salawaat (invocation of blessings) and du‘a (supplication to Allah ), with du‘a following one
or more salawaat, as in this instance.
O Allah! Bestow blessing and peace
on Your Ultimate Devotee, the Prophet sent by You, and Your Prophetic Messenger,
our master, our Prophet Muhammad,
who was not taught by any human
(but directly by You, O Allah),
the Arabian Prophetic Messenger,
and on his Family and Companions
and his blessed wives, and offspring and his blessed household;
such a blessing that may please You, and be a reward for him and fulfil his rights,
and (O Allah), give him the Wasila (means of intercession)
and distinction, and nobility, and the highest exalted position,
and raise him to the highest Praised Station
which You have promised him,
O The Most Merciful of those who show mercy.
O Allah! Indeed, You are our only Means
and we beg of You and we turn our faces towards You
with Your exalted Book
and through the means of the noble Prophet sent by You,
our master Sayyidina Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace),
and through the means of his glorious nobility,
and through the means of his forefathers
Sayyidina Ibrahim and Sayyidina Isma‘il,
and through the means of his Companions,
Sayyidina Abu Bakr and Sayyidina ‘Umar,
and the Possessor of the Two Lights, Sayyidina ‘Uthman,
and his family members Sayyidatina Fatima and Sayyidina ‘Ali,
and their sons Sayyidina al-Hasan and Sayyidina al-Husayn,
and his uncles Sayyidina Hamza and Sayyidina ‘Abbas,
and his blessed wives Sayyidatina Khadija and Sayyidatina ‘Aisha.
In this salaat and the du‘a following it, Gawth u’l-A‘zam Shaykh ‘Abdul Qadir al-Jilani
not only shows his deep love for Allah , and for the blessed Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, but also
for the Prophets ( ‘Alayhimussalam) who came before him, as well as for the ahlu’l bayt
(the blessed Household of the Prophet) and his glorious sahaba (Companions) . In the
salaat, he includes the du‘a that is recited after the adhan. We notice that this entire du‘a is in
honour and praise of the beloved Prophet ﷺ. In the du‘a that follows, he invokes Allah
using the wasila (means), of Allah Himself, of the Holy Qur’an Kareem, the noble Prophet
ﷺ, Nabi Ibrahim and Nabi Isma‘il , the Khulafa ar-Rashidin (the Rightly-Guided
Khulafa), and the ahlu’l bayt
and the sahaba, .
May Allah bestow on us the love of all of them. Aameen.
When we complete the recitation of As-Salatu’l-Kubra, we realize that interspersed in it are all
the Arkan al-Iman (Pillars of Muslim Faith). These are: Belief in Allah as the One and Only
God to be worshipped, belief in His angels, in His Revealed Books (Scriptures), in His Prophetic
10
11
Messengers, in the Last Day (of Judgement), in the Pre-Ordainment by Allah of good and
bad, and the Resurrection after death (on the Day of Judgement). So, when we are reciting As
Salatu’l-Kubra, we are declaring our ‘aqida (tenets of Faith) as well.
Al-Hamdu Lillah. (All Praise if for Allah!)
We will do well to conclude this section by reciting these verses of du‘a (supplication to Allah
) in As-Salat u’l-Kubra.
Our Lord! Accept this (service) from us. Indeed, You, only You are the All-Hearing, the
All-Knowing. (2:127)
And relent towards us. Indeed, You, only You are the Most Relenting (One Who accepts
repentance), The Merciful. (2:128)
$tΒuρ ’+Šùθs? ω) !$/ 4 μ‹n=tã M=.uθs? μ‹s9)uρ =ŠΡ&
And my guidance is only from Allah. In Him I trust, and to Him I turn in repentance.
(11:88)
You are my Helper in this world and the Hereafter. Cause me to die as a Muslim and unite
me with the righteous. (12:101)
And that I may do good deeds which may please You, and make my off-spring righteous
for me. Truly, I turn to You in repentance and truly, I am one of the Muslims. (46:15)
The teaching that is repeated in these verses is to turn to Allah in repentance. May Allah
forgive us, Aameen.
