Nader Khan: Recitation of 100 Salat Al-Fatih

THIS TRACK IS DOWNLOADABLE FOR FREE from my SoundCloud page:   / nader-khan-recitation-of-100-salatul-fatih  

Scroll down for the Arabic text, English transliteration, and English translation.

I first uploaded this on the 1st of Ramzan/Ramadan 1439, to my SoundCloud page as a gift too everyone.

This is a 34-minute track of 100 repetitions of the Salat Al Fatih -- one of the most well known and beloved forms of salawat/durud, for sending peace and blessings upon The Prophet (ﷺ).

Go ahead and download it from the SoundCloud page, and share it with as many people as you want.

The purpose for this was manifold -- to assist people in doing a litany (wird) of 100 repetitions while, say, driving, when they are unable to actively keep count; to have a track of blessed remembrance that our babies can fall asleep to; to assist people in memorizing it in home and school settings; etc.

The tune has been based on the Tijani recitation of Salat Al Fatih that I had first heard from my dear friend and awesome poet, Amir Sulaiman. Also featured on this track is another dear friend, the Muslim Chaplain at the University of Toronto, Sidi Amjad Tarsin.

If this has been done with sincerity, and I hope that it has, then this will insha'Allah find uses among its listeners that I had never expected or anticipated. I would love to hear from all of you as to how you have used this track.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ
الفاتِحِ لِمَا أُغْلِقَ و الخاتِمِ لِمَا سَبَقَ
نَاصِرِ الحَقِّ بَالحَقَّ
و الهَادِي إلى صِرَاطِكَ المُسْتَقِيمِ
و عَلَى آلِهِ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ و مِقْدَارِهِ العَظِيم

Allāhumma ṣalli ᶜalā Sayyīdinā Muḥammad
Al-Fāṭiḥi limā ughliq wa ‘l-khātimi limā sabaq,
nāṣiri ‘l-ḥaqqi bi ‘l-ḥaqq
wa ‘l-hādī ilā ṣirātika ‘l-mustaqīm
wa ᶜalā ālihi ḥaqqa qadrihi wa miqdārihi ’l-ᶜaẓīm.

O Allāh! Bless our Master Muḥammad
The opener of what was closed and the seal of what has passed;
The victor of the truth, by the truth
and the guide to Your Straight Path,
and bless his Household as it befits his immense stature and splendour.
