The Holy Salwaat.

Post by samirziz »

On this website, you'll find a link to the holy salwaat.. download it and listen to it very carefully. In addition to the salwaat, there are more words to it I think it says, Ahmed se min hatakar, noor e ahad ko dekhlo, does anyone know what they mean?

Admin, just wondering do you have the whole salwaat, or the entire geet of this salwaat?

Thanks

The Granth Buj Niranjan (part V11) states:

re tu(n)hee ...
ek ahmad ek jagtapati
ek gursu(n) chit laaere;
gur sireve ahamad meele,
to ahamad meem gamaae re.....................................VII

O You, ... There is one Ahmad(the Prophet) and one King of the world. Concentrate upon the command or word(bol) given by the Guide. If you serve(worship) the Guide you will attain Ahmad (the word, the logos). Then as you progress in your search you will lose the mim from Ahmad to become Ahad(one) with Allah.(i.e. you will transcend your physical form).

Annemarie Schimmel in her book And Muhammad Is His Messenger (Pg. 116) states:

To return to Attar: he also alludes to a tradition that was to become extremely important for the development of mystical thought in the eastern Islamic lands, and is connected with the name Ahmad. This is the hadlth qudsl, one of God's extra-Koranic revelations, Ana Ahmad bila mini, "I am Ahmad without the m" that is, Ahad, "One." "Ahmad is the messenger of Ahad," as Attar repeatedly states,58 and he knows that when

the radiance of the light of manifestation became evident, the m of Ahmad became invisible,59

that is, only God the One remained.
