The words

Salawat (Allahumma salli, Allahumma barik)

  1. Salawat

    In the last sitting we ask Allah to bless Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.

    اللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ. اللّٰهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

    Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala ali Muhammad, kama sallayta 'ala Ibrahima wa 'ala ali Ibrahim, innaka Hamidun Majid. Allahumma barik 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala ali Muhammad, kama barakta 'ala Ibrahima wa 'ala ali Ibrahim, innaka Hamidun Majid.

    O Allah, send Your mercy on Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You sent it on Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim; You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim; You are Praiseworthy and Glorious.

Tips for parents

Learning it with your child

Two halves

Learn “Allahumma salli” first; the “Allahumma barik” half follows the same pattern.

Spot the repeat

Both halves end with “innaka Hamidun Majid”; point it out so it is easy to remember.

Two prophets

Talk about the two prophets in the dua: Muhammad and Ibrahim, peace be upon them.
