Salawat with Allah’s Beautiful Names: Al-Latif (the Gentle)

This prayer is taken from Sayyidi Habib Umar bin Hafiz’s collection of prayers using Allah’s beautiful names in which he calls upon Allah by His beautiful names and then asks Him to bestow prayers upon His Beloved by those names. Finally, he asks Allah for a portion of those attributes which belong to Allah and which He has bestowed upon His Messenger ﷺ.

اللَّهُمَّ يا اللهُ يا لَطِيفُ صَلِّ على عَبْدِكَ و حَبِيبِكَ سَيِّدِنا مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ اللَّطِيف و على آلِهِ و صَحْبِهِ و سَلِّمْ تَسْلِيماً و اجْرِ  بِهِ يا رَبِّ لُطْفَكَ الخَفِيَّ في أُمُوري و أُمُورِ المُسْلِمين

Allāhumma yā Allāhu yā Laṭīfu ṣalli ‘alā ‘abdika wa ḥabībika sayyidinā Muḥammad an-Nabī al-laṭīf wa ‘alā ālihi wa ṣaḥbihi wa sallim taslīman w’ajri bihi yā rabbi luṭfak al-khafiya fī umūrī wa umūri’l-muslimīn

O Allah, O Gentle, bestow abundant prayers and peace upon Your slave and beloved, our Master Muhammad, the gentle Prophet and upon his Family and Companions, and by him cause Your hidden gentleness to permeate my affairs and the affairs of all the Muslims.
