Salawat with Allah’s Beautiful Names: Ya Muqsit (the Equitable)

Sayyidi Habib Umar bin Hafiz teaches us to ask Allah by His name the Equitable to bestow prayers upon His equitable Prophet   and by him to make us among those who are just and equitable, for “Allah loves those who judge with equity” (5.42).

This prayer is taken from Habib Umar’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 مُقْسِطُ صَلِّ على عَبْدِكَ و حَبِيبِكَ سَيِّدِنا مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ المُقْسِط و على آلِهِ و صَحْبِهِ و سَلِّمْ تَسْلِيماً  واجْعَلْني بِهِ مُقْسِطاً و مُنْصِفاً حَكِيماً

O Allah, O Equitable One, bestow abundant prayers and peace upon Your slave and beloved, our Master Muhammad, the equitable Prophet, and upon his Family and Companions, and by him make me equitable, just and wise.
