Re: Salatul fatih
O God bless our Master Muhammad (pbuh) who opened what had been closed, and who is the Seal of what had gone before, he who makes the Truth Victorious by the Truth, the guide to thy straight path, and bless his household as is the due of his immense position and grandeur.
Arabic Transliteration :
Allahumma salli ' wa sallim was baarik ala Sayyidina Muhammadilnil-fatihi lima Ughliqa wal khatimi lima sabaqa wan-naa-siril-haqqibil-haqqi wal-hadi ila Sirati-kal-mustaqima sal-lal-lahu 'alayhiwa 'ala alihi wa-ashaabihi haqqa qadrihi wa-miq-da rihil-'azim.

Salatul Fatihi (Selections from the Rimah of al Haj Shaykh Umar Futi)
This is a translation from one of the great pillars of the Ahmadi-Muhammadi-Ibrahimi-Hanifi-Tijani tariqa. He is Shaykh Umar Futi. He is known in Africa as one of the most renowned figures in Islamic History, for he was not just a Khalifa of Shaykh Ahmad Tijani. But also a jihadist He was responsible for at least 313 different jihads in Africa during the 1800's against the British, the French, and idolators.
The name of this book is al Rimah al Hizb al Raheem ala Nuhur al Hizb al Rajeem (The spears of the league of the Merciful thrown at the necks of the league of the accursed) This book is a defense of Tasawwuff, the Awliya especially, and the Tariqa Tijaniya in detail. Here is one of the sections from the chapter on Salatul Fatihi. I am giving it to you to share. You may post it if you like. This is just for information so no fitnah intended. For not much is known about the Tariqa Tijaniya compared to whats known about other turuq. So enjoy.
Please keep in mind that the only way to derive the FULL and COMPLETE blessing of this blessed durood is to be on the the Fuqara of Sidina Shaykh Ahmad Tijani, for he received it from the beloved hands of the Beloved Prophet with its rewards and its requirements. But you are welcome for we are all muslims living in the end of times. May Allah protect us and keep us in his safety. Salaam Alaikum. From sidi Muhammad Hasan.
The invocation of the Opener of what is locked Salatul Fatihi
As for the invocation of the Opener of what is locked (Salatul Fatihi) it has three degrees:
1.an external degree
2.an internal degree
3.the degree of the inmost (batin al batin).
I had intended to provide a complete explanation of it at this point, and to describe its marvels and its wonders. I was prevented from that, however by the fact that most people lack the maturity required for the acquisition of that kind of knowledge. I shall therefore content myself with mentioning some of what is available in Jawahir al Ma’ani, concerning the external degree only.Allah is the Source of enabling grace!
Our Shaykh (Shaykh Ahmad Tijani) has said:
"As for Salatul Fatihi when I asked the Prophet about it, he informed me first of all, that it is worth six hundred thousand invocation of blessing. I also asked him, ‘For each invocation of blessing does one bird fly up toward heaven-that being the bird which has seventy thousand wings, as described in the hadith-or do six hundred thousand birds of that kind fly up each time, and is the reward of their glorification assigned to the invoker of blessing upon the Prophet?’ The Prophet replied: "Six hundred thousand birds of that kind fly up each time."
As for the number of each bird’s tongues, the Shaykh said: "The total number of its tongues is 1,680,000,700,000,000,000,000.000. Each tongue glorifies Allah in seventy thousand languages in a split second, and all of is reward is assigned each time to the invoker of blessing upon the Prophet. This applies to every Salatul Ala Nabi other than Salatul Fatihi. As for the latter, it gives rise, each time, to six hundred thousand birds of the kind described, as previously mentioned."
Our master, then went on to say: "When I asked the Prophet about the authenticity of the hadith:
The invocation of blessing upon him one time, is worth the reward of four hundred military campaigns and every campaign is worth four hundred Pilgrimages.
--The Prophet replied: "It is indeed authentic" I then asked the Prophet about the number of these campaigns: ‘Are four hundred campaigns equivalent to a single offering of Salatul Fatihi, or are four hundred campaigns equivalent to each of the six hundred thousand invocations of blessing?’ The Prophet answered: Salatul Fatihi is worth six hundred thousand invocations of blessings(salatul ala nabi), and each of the six hundred thousand invocations of blessing is worth four hundred campaigns’.
Then he went on to say: "If someone invokes it-Salatul Fatihi; one time, he will receive the reward he would receive if he offered every invocation of blessing ever offered in the universe, by all the jinn, human beings and angels, six hundred thousand times, from the beginning of time until the moment when he utters its invocation.
In other words, it is as if he has offered six hundred thousand times all the invocations ever invoked by al the invokers of blessing, angels, jinn and human beings, every one of those invocations being worth a spouse among the houries, and ten good deeds, and the erasure of ten bad deeds, and promotion by ten degrees. Allah and his angels will also bless him ten times for every invocation of blessing."
Shaykh Ahmad Tijani then said: "Once you have contemplated this with your heart, you will know that no act of worship is equal to a single offering of the Salatul ala Nabi, so how about someone who offers it many times?" What gracious favor he enjoys in the presence of Allah, and this is received EACH time the invocation is offered!

Re: Salatul fatih
Salawat Al-Fatih (durood Fatih)
Salat Al-Fatih is held in particular esteem with the Tijaniyya Order. In English, it goes like this:-
O God bless our Master Muhammad (pbuh) who opened what had been closed, and who is the Seal of what had gone before, he who makes the Truth Victorious by the Truth, the guide to thy straight path, and bless his household as is the due of his immense position and grandeur.
the above transliteration is :-
Allahumma salli ' wa sallim was baarik ala Sayyidina Muhammadil
nil-fatihi lima Ughliqa wal khatimi lima sabaqa wan-naa-siril-haqqi
bil-haqqi wal-hadi ila Sirati-kal-mustaqima sal-lal-lahu 'alayhi
wa 'ala alihi wa-ashaabihi haqqa qadrihi wa-miq-da rihil-'azim.
From a Tijaniyya Order member
The history of Salatul al-Fatih is this. A man named Sayyidi Bekri went into khalwa for 40 years, asking Allah to give him the best Salatul-ala Nabiyya. It was written on the wall in light and he was told not to give it to others until the owner of it appeared.
Another version but no arabic
Allahumma Salli'Ala Sayyidina Muhammadil Fatihi Lima Ughliqa wal Khatimi Lima Sabaqa Nasril Haqqi Bil Haqqi Wal Hadi Ila Siratikal Mustaqim wa 'Ala Alihi Haqqa Qadrihi wa Miqdarihil Azim.
From another Tijaniyya Order member
The reason why it is the best Salat Ala Nabi, Because all other Salat ala Nabi end with Wa Sallim, or Tasliman. Salim means Peace. Mankind is the only thing that needs peace. Allah and his angels don't need peace. Salatul Fatih ends with Azeem in the dua. But after finishing the prayer ends with Al Hamdu Lillahi Rabbi Aalimeen. Another reason it is the best and has all those blessings as you described is because it praises The Prophet before the creation of Time and it praises him After creation. The opener and the seal. It is also said to be equivelant to reading the Quran 6 thousand times. Why? How? Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse said any Salawat Ala Nabiy especially Salawatul Fatih is the Quran of Quran. Salawatul Fatih is different from other because it is the Prayer of Allah and His Angels.
Another main reason why Salatul Ala Nabi is so Powerful and great is because Only Allah can send prayers on the Prophet(PBUH). When you say Allahuma Sali You have nothing to do with the prayer anymore it is just Allah and the Prophet(PBUH). The Tariqa Tijaniyya is based on Salawatul Fatih it is the main difference between the tijaniyya and other turuq. For this approval has come from the Prophet to Shaykh Ahmad Tijani in broad daylight.
From the Tijaniyya - abun-Nasr; an excert from:- And Muhammad Is His Messenger : The Veneration of the Prophet in Islamic Piety by Annemarie Schimmel, ISBN: 0807841285
The Salat (Durood) is considered to have merits of eight categories…. He who reads it once is guaranteed the bless of the two abodes; also reciting it once atones for all sins and is equivalent to six thousand (6000) times all prayers of glorification to God, all Dhikr and Dua'a, long and short which have occurred in the Universe. He who recites it ten (10) times acquires recompense greater than that due to a Wali (saint) who lived ten Thousand years, but did not say it. Saying it once is equivalent to the prayers of all angels, human beings, and Jinn from the beginning of their creation to the time when it was uttered, and saying is a second time is like [i.e. equivalent to the recompense of the first] plus the recompense of the first a and the second, and so on.
A book of Salawat durood Shareef
It is because of this Durood that he was awarded the title Siddiq which means truthful.
Hadhrat Abul-Muqaraab says that a man's total sins will be washed away if he recites Durood Faith 40 times.
Hadhrat Shaykh Muhammad Bakari says that recitatin of Durood Faith once a day relieves the recitor from the fire of hell.
Hadhrat Syed Ahmed Hillam says the Durood Fatih was favourite routine of Hadhrat Shaykh Abul-Qadir Gilani.
The great Saints say that Durood Fatih is actual and real light.
Hadhrat shaykh Yusuf Bin Ismail says that this Durood shareef is the Greatest mystry of Allah ta'ala. It brings 100% success and happiness to the reciter
In fact this Durood brings prosperity and luck and solves all the naughty problems by the grace of Allah ta' ala.
When a man recites this Durood shareef angels of Allah ta'ala surround him, mercy covers him and peace starts descending on him.

Re: Salatul fatih
I just found this about Salatul Nariya, a durood which is in the same catogory as Salatul Fatih, Salatul Tunjina and many others...
Question:
As salamu aleykum, Dear respected ulema, I want to ask whether this Salawat called Durood Nariya contains shirk or wheter it is permisseble to recite it , Also i want to know what the source or origin of this salawat is? Also what to say to those various Duroods that are recorded at:
http://www.islamicacademy.org/html/Dorood.htm
Erroneous and over exadurated virtues are attached to some of these Duroods as far as i can see.
Was salaam
DUROOD NARIYA:
اللهـم صل صلاة كاملة وسلم سلاماً تاماً على سيدنا محمد الذي تنحل به العقد وتنفرج به الكرب وتقضى به الحوائج وتنال به الرغائب وحسن الخواتم ويستسقى الغمام بوجهه الكريم وعلى آله وصحبه في كل لمحة ونفس بعدد كل معلوم لك
Answer:
This is one of the supplications that were made up by the Sufis who go to extremes in their veneration of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The supplications that they concoct are typified by clear exaggerations and extreme tendencies in expressing love for the Prophet (peace be upon him), which sometimes reaches the level of major polytheism.
Then they take these supplications that they author with their own hands and recite them morning and night as ritual remembrances. Sometimes, they prefer chanting these remembrances of their own invention over the recitation of the Qur’ân. They confer upon these salutations written by their sheiks – and they often name these salutations after their authors – virtues higher than the virtues that are established for the recitation of the Qur’ân.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) taught his Companions how we are supposed to convey our salutations to him. They asked: “O Messenger of Allah, teach us how to greet you and how to salute you in our prayers.”
The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: “Say: O Allah! Bestow your blessings upon Muhammad and upon his family as you have bestowed your blessings upon Abraham and his family. Indeed You are praiseworthy and glorious…” [Sahîh al-Bukhârî (3370) and Sahîh Muslim (405)]
As for the supplication in question, it can be rendered as follows:
O Allah! Bestow your most perfect blessings and your most perfect peace upon our master Muhammad, through whom difficulties and calamities are relieved and through whom needs are fulfilled, aspirations attained, and the best outcomes are achieved, and through whom the clouds deliver their rain by virtue of your Noble Countenance. And bestow such salutations and peace upon his family and his Companions. Do so every moment that lasts the duration of the flickering of an eye or the drawing of breath, and do so to the number of everything that is known to You.
There are different versions of this supplication, all of which are similar in their basic wording. It is a false supplication that contains heretical and false meanings.
The supplication alleges that the Prophet (peace be upon him) is the one “through whom difficulties and calamities are relieved and through whom needs are fulfilled, aspirations attained…”
If the meaning intended here is that the Prophet (peace be upon him) is the one who does these things, then it is a clear case of major polytheism, since such attributes belong to Allah alone. Allah is the only one who brings about the best outcomes. In Allah’s hands alone is the dominion. Allah alone is the dispenser of all good and of all providence. Allah alone removes calamities and difficulties and fulfills the needs of His creatures. Allah guides whom He pleases to a path that is straight.
If, by contrast, the meaning intended in the supplication is for the supplicant to seek Allah’s beneficence in these matters through the virtue of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his status with Allah, then this is not polytheism. However, it still constitutes an innovation without any basis for it in Islamic Law.
We should know that seeking nearness to Allah by way of the Prophet (peace be upon him) can mean one of four things:
1. To seek nearness to Allah on the strength of one’s own faith in the truth of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the love that one has for him, and the obedience one shows in complying to the teachings that he brought. This is one of the greatest means of seeking nearness to Allah in our supplications.
2. Seeking nearness to Allah by having the Prophet (peace be upon him) supplicate on one’s behalf.
This is like what `Akâshah b. Muhsin did when he went to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: “Beseech Allah that I will be among them.”
To which the Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: “You are among them.” [Sahîh al-Bukhârî (6541) and Sahîh Muslim (220)]
The Companions used to go to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and request from him to supplicate on their behalf. In times of drought, they would ask him to beseech Allah on their behalf for rain.
However, after the Prophet (peace be upon him) died, no one would go to his grave and request from him to supplicate to Allah on their behalf. When they were stricken with drought, they turned instead to his uncle `Abbâs and asked him to beseech Allah for rain on their behalf.
This took place in the year of famine during `Umar’s reign. `Umar declared the following: “O Allah, we used to seek nearness to You with the Prophet, and You –, O Allah – would send the rains. Now we will seek nearness to You with our Prophet’s uncle. So send the rains, O Allah!” Then `Umar asked the Prophet’s uncle to supplicate on their behalf. [Sahîh al-Bukhârî (1010)]
3. Seeking nearness to Allah with the Prophet’s position and status with his Lord.
It is an innovation in religious practice for one to seek nearness to Allah in one’s supplications by invoking Allah’s love for the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the honor in which Allah holds him. No doubt, the status and honor of the Prophet (peace be upon him) with his Lord is great. However, the benefit of this is only for those whom he supplicated for while he was alive. After his death, we do not seek supplications from him, as we have already discussed.
Therefore, the supplication mentioned in the question is contrary to the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him). It is unlawful to use that supplication, since its meaning, at worst implies polytheism, and at the least, is an innovation. May Allah protect us form both.
And Allah knows best.

Tijaniyya claims
Salat al-Fatih :"this prayer is “equivalent to the recitation of all prayers of glorification to God (tasbih) that have ever been said in the universe, all Sufi prayers or remembrance of God (dhikr), every invocation (du’a) long or short "
(Jawahir, p. 57.)
is it true , can pray behind a tijani imam ? what is the hukm of the sunna about his Salat al-Fatih ?
Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Tijanis are a group who attribute themselves to Shaykh Abu Abbaas Ahmad bin Muhammad At Tijani (1150). It is a tasawwuf tariqah, just like the other turuq eg. qadariyyah, chistiyyah etc. We are unaware of any difference in belief between the Tijanis and others of the ahl as-sunnah (this is to the best of our knowledge). There are many senior Ulama who are connected to this tariq, especially amongst the muttaqi and pious Ulama of Mauritania. One of the greatest Mauritanian Ulama, Shaykh Muhammad Hasan al-Khadim (hafidha hu Allah) is also a Tijani.
Yes, there are those Tijani's who indulge in bid'ah (innovations); however this is the case with all turuq. This bida'h is not part of the tariq, rather the actions of such of those who associate themselves with it. It is for this reason that the senior Ulama who are involved in it stay far from these bid'aat (innovations) and openly speak out against them, as they have no part in tasawwuf and the Deen.
It will be permissible to pray salah behind a Tijani who holds beliefs which are in accordance with the beliefs of the Ahl as Sunnah.
As for Salah al-Fatih, there is no mention of it in Hadih. Tijanis belief that a Shaykh by the name of Sayyad Bakri retreated into solitude for 40 years and continued to implore Allah Ta’ala to bestow him with the greatest Durood. When he looked up he found it written on the wall. This proves that this Durood is not based on any Hadith. While the wordings may be correct; erroneous and over exaggerated virtues are attached to it. It is thus best to confine oneself to the forms of Durood found in the Ahaadith as the greatest rewards are found in that which was practiced in the khair al quroon (time of Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), Sahabah and Tabieen). For the correct forms of Durood we recommend the forty Duroods compiled by Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Zakariyya R.A.
And Allah knows best
