But you are welcome for we are all muslims living in the end of times. May Allah protect us and keep us in his safety. Salaam Alaikum. F rom sidi Muhammad Hasan. The invocation of the Opener of what is locked Salatul Fatihi As for the invocation of the Opener of what is locked (Salatul Fatihi) it has th ree degrees: 1.an external degree 2.an internal degree 3.the degree of the inmost (batin al batin). I had intended to provide a complete explanation of it at this point, and to des cribe its marvels and its wonders. I was prevented from that, however by the fac t that most people lack the maturity required for the acquisition of that kind o f knowledge. I shall therefore content myself with mentioning some of what is av ailable in Jawahir al Ma ani, concerning the external degree only.Allah is the Sou rce of enabling grace! Our Shaykh (Shaykh Ahmad Tijani) has said: "As for Salatul Fatihi when I asked the Prophet about it, he informed me first o f all, that it is worth six hundred thousand invocation of blessing. I also aske d him, For each invocation of blessing does one bird fly up toward heaven-that be ing the bird which has seventy thousand wings, as described in the hadith-or do six hundred thousand birds of that kind fly up each time, and is the reward of t heir glorification assigned to the invoker of blessing upon the Prophet? The Prop het replied: "Six hundred thousand birds of that kind fly up each time."

As for the number of each bird s tongues, the Shaykh said: "The total number of it s tongues is 1,680,000,700,000,000,000,000.000. Each tongue glorifies Allah in s eventy thousand languages in a split second, and all of is reward is assigned ea ch time to the invoker of blessing upon the Prophet. This applies to every Salat ul Ala Nabi other than Salatul Fatihi. As for the latter, it gives rise, each ti me, to six hundred thousand birds of the kind described, as previously mentioned ." Our master, then went on to say: "When I asked the Prophet about the authenticit y of the hadith: The invocation of blessing upon him one time, is worth the reward of four hundre d military campaigns and every campaign is worth four hundred Pilgrimages. --The Prophet replied: "It is indeed authentic" I then asked the Prophet about t he number of these campaigns: Are four hundred campaigns equivalent to a single o ffering of Salatul Fatihi, or are four hundred campaigns equivalent to each of t he six hundred thousand invocations of blessing? The Prophet answered: Salatul Fa tihi is worth six hundred thousand invocations of blessings(salatul ala nabi), a nd each of the six hundred thousand invocations of blessing is worth four hundre d campaigns . Then he went on to say: "If someone invokes it-Salatul Fatihi; one time, he will receive the reward he would receive if he offered every invocation of blessing ever offered in the universe, by all the jinn, human beings and angels, six hund red thousand times, from the beginning of time until the moment when he utters i ts invocation. In other words, it is as if he has offered six hundred thousand times all the in vocations ever invoked by al the invokers of blessing, angels, jinn and human be ings, every one of those invocations being worth a spouse among the houries, and ten good deeds, and the erasure of ten bad deeds, and promotion by ten degrees. Allah and his angels will also bless him ten times for every invocation of bles sing." Shaykh Ahmad Tijani then said: "Once you have contemplated this with your heart, you will know that no act of worship is equal to a single offering of the Salat ul ala Nabi, so how about someone who offers it many times?" What gracious favor he enjoys in the presence of Allah, and this is received EACH time the invocati on is offered!
