اللّهُـمَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الدّعْـوَةِ التّـامَّة
وَالصّلاةِ القَـائِمَة آتِ محَـمَّداً الوَسيـلةَ وَالْفَضـيلَة
وَابْعَـثْه مَقـامـاً مَحـموداً الَّذي وَعَـدْتَه إِنَّـكَ لا تُـخْلِفُ
الميـعاد.
Allahumma rabba hathihid-daAAwatit-tammah, wassalatil-qa-imah ati
Muhammadan alwaseelata wal-fadeelah, wabAAath-hu maqaman mahmoodan
allathee waAAadtah, innaka la tukhliful-meeAAad.
‘O Allah, Owner of this perfect call and Owner of this prayer to be
performed, bestow upon Muhammad al-waseelah and al-fadeelah and send
him upon a praised platform which You have promised him. Verily, You
never fail in Your promise.’
al-waseelah: A station in paradise.
al-fadeelah: A rank above the rest of creation.
praised platform: One in which all of creation will praise him on, in
order to bring about the account quickly and be relieved from the
lengthy standing or the role of intercession.
