In the final Julus add this prayer on the Prophet: |
| ALLAHUMMA SALLI 'ALA MUHAMMADIN WA 'ALA ALI MUHAMMAD |
| O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad |
| KAMA SALLAYTA 'ALA IBRAHIMA WA 'ALA ALI IBRAHIM |
| as you blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim, |
| WA BARIK 'ALA MUHAMMADIN WA 'ALA ALI MUHAMMAD |
| and pour baraka on Muhammad and on the family of Muhammad |
| KAMA BARAKTA 'ALA IBRAHIMA WA 'ALA ALI IBRAHIM |
| as you poured baraka on Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim |
| FI'L-'ALAMIN INNAKA HAMIDUN MAJID |
| In all the worlds. You are Praiseworthy, Glorious. |
Allah says in the Qur'an:
'Prayer keeps you from profanity and bad actions.'
Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said,
'Tell me, if one of you had a stream running at his door and he bathed in it five times every day, would any dirt be left on him?'
He was answered, 'No, no dirt would be left.'
He continued, 'It is the same with the five prayers. By them Allah wipes out every wrong action.'
