THE NOBLE NAMES OF THE PROPHET [ Sallal Laahu Alayhi Wa Sallam ]
A seventeenth-century Suhrawardi mystic of Ucch (Pakistan) composed a work
called Jawahir al-auliya (Jewels of the Saints), that contains an interesting
chapter on the virtues and blessing powers of Muhammad's ninety-nine names.
The author recounts various traditions connected with their use. The Great
saint Shaykh Abdul Qadir Gilani is reported to have said that a person who
recites them once every day and every night will be preserved from all kinds
of affliction, and his faith will always remain undisturbed.
According to the author's ancestor, Makhdum
Jahaniyan of Ucch, the recitation of these names after the dawn prayer will
cause all sins, great and small, open and secret, to be forgiven, and Sultan
Sayyid Mahmud Nasiruddin Bukhari is reported to have said that whoever recites
them seven times after the noon prayer will never be harassed by birds or
beasts. Another Sufi ascribed to their elevenfold recitation after the evening
prayer an increase in knowledge, mildness, and gnosis.
But the greatest reward, for someone who
recites Muhammad's ninety-nine names twelve times after the night prayer, was
revealed to Makhdum Jahaniyan by the Prophet himself during that Sufi's visit
to Medina: Muhammad promised that he would definitely bring that person to
Paradise, and would not enter it without him.
Many modern printed copies of the Qu’ran
enumerate the ninety-nine Divine Names at the beginning and list the
ninety-nine names of the Prophet on the final two pages. An annotated list
Appendix is on the next page.
Note: The manner of reciting the noble names
is as such you recite sayyiduna then the name and finish with sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, for example (Sayyiduna Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
Sayyiduna Ahmad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Sayyiduna Hamid sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam, Sayyiduna Mahmud sallallahu alayhi wa sallam…etc).
