Salawat with Allah’s Beautiful Names: Ya Muta’al (The Exalted One)

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 مُتَعَالِ صَلِّ على عَبْدِكَ و حَبِيبِكَ سَيِّدِنا مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ الَّذي تَعَالَتْ رُتْبَتُهُ و مَكَانَتُهُ و على آلِهِ و صَحْبِهِ و سَلِّمْ تَسْلِيماً و ارْفَعْنا في مَرَاتِبِ قُرْبَكَ العَالِيَةِ رِفْعاً

O Allah, the Exalted One, bestow abundant prayers and peace upon Your slave and beloved, our Master Muhammad, the Prophet whose rank and station are exalted and upon his Family and Companions, and raise us in the lofty ranks of closeness to You.
