COMMENTARY ON THE ABRAHAMIC PRAYER

This commentary on the Abrahamic prayer, taken from sheikh Yusuf al-Nabahani’s Sa‘adat al-darayn fi al-salat ‘ala Sayyid al-kawnayn (Felicity in the Two Abodes Through Prayers upon the Master of the Two Realms – may Allah bless him and grant him peace), examines each phrase of the closing supplication and shed light on their inner and other meanings.

What does it mean to “send prayers” upon the prophet SAW? What is the meaning of the name Muhammad SAW and what are its unique features?

Who are the prophet Muhammad’s SAW family and why are they mentioned in our prayer? Why is prophet Ibrahim AS included in the supplication? And what is the meaning of blessings when it comes to the master of the first and last?

These questions and more are discussed in this work, with sheikh Yusuf al-Nabahani’s noted spiritual depth, love, and erudition, and is sure to provide the reader with a deeper appreciation and understanding of the subtleties and meanings of the supplication, and bring in turn, Allah SWT willing, an improvement in one’s prayers.
