About The Book
Indeed, Allah and His Angels send prayers upon the Prophet.
"O you who believe! Send prayers and abundant salutations upon him." - [Sura al-Ahzab 33:56]
Sending Prayers upon the Prophet is an extraordinary work of scholarship infused with Prophetic love that expounds upon the command of Allah and His Prophet to send abundant prayers and salutations upon the Master of the Messengers and details their deeper meanings, great virtues, numerous benefits, and different rulings.
Steeped in spiritual insight and profound love and devotion, Imam ʿAbdallah Sirajuddin unravels the secrets of this noble act and elegantly explains its high status by drawing extensively from the Qurʾan and Hadith traditions and the understandings of the scholars of the past.
Sending Prayers upon the Prophet 
will satisfy students of jurisprudence and the spiritual path alike, inspire them to act out of love for our Master Muhammad , and intensify their yearning for him .
Live happily with never-ending union
With the one you love, with the veils of distance raised
Witness the utter beauty of the one for whose sake
The hearts of the lovers split asunder from its light
Be of good cheer for attaining what you hoped for
Upon the brow of the Elect Prophet has the sun of the forenoon shined!

About the author
Abdallah Sirajuddin: Abdallah Sirajuddin al-Husayni (1342-1422 AH / 1923-2002 CE) was one of the leading scholars of twentieth-century Aleppo, known for his learning in hadith, Qurʾanic exegesis, creed, and the spiritual life, and revered for his devotion to the Prophet. A descendant of the Prophet through the Husayni line, he was born in Aleppo to the scholar Shaykh Muhammad Najib Sirajuddin, who guided his early education. He memorized the Qurʾan as a boy and pursued the sacred sciences at the Khasrawiyya madrasa, studying hadith under teachers such as Shaykh Isa al-Bayanuni. Hanafi in law, he began teaching while still young and continued for the rest of his life in the mosques, schools, and study circles of Aleppo. In 1958 he founded a school of Islamic learning with a full curriculum, and he established Qurʾanic instruction supported by scholarships. He authored more than thirty works spanning creed, prophetic biography and character, remembrance and supplication, ethics, hadith, and Qurʾanic studies. His best-known book is his major study of the Prophet, the basis of the English translation Our Master Muhammad (peace be upon him): His Sublime Character and Exalted Attributes; other writings translated into English include works on the testimony of faith, fasting, and sending prayers upon the Prophet. Among his students were scholars who became prominent in their own right, including Shaykh Nur al-Din ʿItr, who was also his son-in-law and biographer.
About the translator
Abdul Aziz Suraqah: Abdul Aziz Suraqah is an American Muslim translator, teacher, and author based in Toronto, Canada. Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, he embraced Islam as a teenager after reading The Autobiography of Malcolm X, which sparked an enduring engagement with Islamic learning. He pursued traditional Islamic education in Yemen at Dar al-Hadith al-Khayriyya, in Mauritania at the mahdara of Umm al-Qura under the tutelage of Shaykh Muhammad Salim Ould 'Addud, and in Morocco, where he was among the first Western students admitted full-time to the traditional Qur'an school in the remote village of Sidi Ghiyyath. His studies focused on theology, legal theory, Arabic grammar, rhetoric, and literature. Since 1998, he has taught Arabic and Islamic studies, and from 2005 he has dedicated himself to full-time translation from Arabic into English, producing over fifty published and unpublished works. His translations span classical texts in Sufism, theology, and prophetic devotion, including 'Realities of Sufism' (Haqaiq an al-Tasawwuf by Shaykh Abd al-Qadir Isa), 'The Sanusi Creed', and numerous works related to the Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
