Salawat of Shaykh ‘Abd al-Qadir Jilani

O Allah!  Send blessings, prayers and peace upon our master and guardian Muhammad and honour him.  Foremost amongst the creation by his light, whose appearance is a mercy to mankind.  May it be multiplied by the number of all Your past creation and by those that remain and by the number of those who are felicitous and those who are not; a blessing, which is beyond numeration and encompasses all limits, without an extremity, end or termination.  May this blessing be in the way that You convey Your blessing upon him, which is ever lasting by Your eternal existence, and may the same be upon his family and companions and praise be to Allah for that.
