Tashahhud: what one says in the sitting
position in prayer
(52)
‘At-tahiyyat is
for Allah. All acts of worship and good deeds are for Him. Peace
and the mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you O Prophet.
Peace be upon us and all of Allah’s righteous servants. I bear
witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah and
I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.’
At-tahiyyat:
all words which indicate the glorification of Allah. His eternal
existence
His perfection and His sovereignty.

23. Prayers upon the
Prophet
r after the
tashahhud
.23الصلاة
على النبي صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم بعد التشهد
(53)
‘O Allah
send prayers upon Muhammad
and the followers of Muhammad
just as You sent prayers upon Ibraheem
and upon the followers of Ibraheem. Verily
You are full of
praise and majesty. O Allah
send blessings upon Mohammad
and upon the family of Muhammad
just as You sent blessings upon
Ibraheem and upon the family of Ibraheem. Verily
You are
full of praise and majesty.’
send prayers: praise and exalt him in
the highest and superior of gatherings: that of the closest angels to
Allah.
(al) has been translated in it’s
broadest sense: some scholars are of the view that the meaning here is
more specific and that it means: his r
followers from among his family.
