Salawat with Allah’s Beautiful Names: Ya Qayyum (the Self-Existing)

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 قَيُّومُ صَلِّ على عَبْدِكَ و حَبِيبِكَ سَيِّدِنا مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ القَائِمِ بِالحَقِّ و على آلِهِ و صَحْبِهِ و سَلِّمْ تَسْلِيماً وقَوِّمْني على صِرَاطِكَ المُسْتَقِيمِ تَقْوِيما

O Allah, O Self-Existing, bestow abundant prayers and peace upon Your slave and beloved, our Master Muhammad, the Prophet who stands up for the truth and upon his Family and Companions, and by him set me straight upon Your straight path.
