The Ziarat of Saturday; The Holy Prophet Al Mustafa (Saw)

زِيَارَةُ النَّبِيّ ﷺ

Saturday’s Ziyārah — Ziyārat an-Nabī ﷺ

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ ٱللَّهُ

ash-hadu an la ilaha illa allahu

I bear witness that there is no god save Allah;

وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ

wahdahu la sharika lahu

alone without having any partner;

وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُهُ

wa ash-hadu annaka rasuluhu

and I bear witness that you are His messenger

وَأَنَّكَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِٱللَّهِ

wa annaka muhammadu bnu `abdillahi

and you are Muhammad, the son of `Abdullah.

وَأَشْهَدُ أَنّكَ قَدْ بَلَّغْتَ رِسَالاتِ رَبِّكَ

wa ash-hadu annaka qad ballaghta risalati rabbika

And I bear witness that you have truly conveyed the missions of your Lord,

وَنَصَحْتَ لأُمَّتِكَ

wa nasahta li'ummatika

well-wished for your nation,

وَجَاهَدْتَ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ

wa jahadta fi sabili allahi

striven hard in the way of Allah

بِٱلْحِكْمَةِ وَٱلْمَوْعِظَةِ ٱلحَسَنَةِ

bilhikmati walmaw`izati alhasanati

by means of wisdom and excellent preaching,

وَأَدَّيْتَ ٱلَّذِي عَلَيْكَ مِنَ ٱلحَقِّ

wa addayta alladhi `alayka mina alhaqqi

and fulfilled the duty that is incumbent upon you;

وَأَنَّكَ قَدْ رَؤُفْتَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

wa annaka qad ra'ufta bilmu'minina

and you have been sympathetic with the believers

وَغَلَظْتَ عَلَىٰ ٱلكَافِرِينَ

wa ghalazta `ala alkafirina

and unyielding to the unbelievers;

وَعَبَدْتَ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصاً

wa `abadta allaha mukhlisan

and you have worshipped Allah sincerely

حَتَّىٰ أَتَاكَ ٱليَقِينُ

hatta ataka alyaqinu

until death came upon you.

فَبَلَغَ ٱللَّهُ بِكَ أَشْرَفَ مَحَلِّ ٱلْمُكَرَّمِينَ

fabalagha allahu bika ashrafa mahalli almukarramina

Allah therefore has lifted you up to the most honorable place of the honored ones.

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي ٱسْتَنْقَذَنَا بِكَ

alhamdu lillahi alladhi istanqadhana bika

All praise be to Allah Who has saved us, through you,

مِنَ ٱلشِّرْكِ وَٱلضَّلالِ

mina alshshirki walddalali

from polytheism and deviation.

اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ

allahumma salli `ala muhammadin wa alihi

O Allah, (please) send blessings to Muhammad and his Household,

وَٱجْعَلْ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَصَلَوَاتِ مَلاَئِكَتِكَ

waj`al salawatika wa salawati mala'ikatika

and make Your blessings, the blessings of Your angels,

وَأَنْبِيَائِكَ وَٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

wa anbiya'ika walmursalina

Your prophets, the Messengers,

وَعِبَادِكَ ٱلصَّالِحِينَ

wa `ibadika alssalihina

Your righteous servants,
