Reading Sholawat Prophet – As Muslims, we are encouraged to recite sholawat at every opportunity. The goal is simple, so that we get safety and intercession on the Day of Resurrection. In sholawat we mention the name of Allah and His lover, the Prophet Muhammad SAW.
In some schools of Islam there are even those who carry out the “promise” tradition by reading the book Al-Barzanji. The original name of the book is ‘Iqd al-Jawahir which means necklace of jewels. However, the book is better known by the name Al-Barzanji which is the same as the author’s name, namely Shaykh Ja’far Al-Barzanji.
Reading Al-Berzanji or Promise
Launching from the Kumparan.com page, the following is the reading of Al-Berzanji.
Allah
بِسْـمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِـيْمِ
أَبْتَـدِئُ ألإمْلاَءَ بِاسْمِ الذَّاتِ العَـلِيَّةِ ۞ مُسْـتَدِرًّا فَيْضَ البَرَكَاتِ عَلَى مَا اَنَا لَه وَاَوْلاَه ۞ وَاُثَنِّى بِحَمْدٍ مَّوَارِدُه سَائِغَـةٌ هَنِـيَّةِ ۞ مُمْتَطِأً مِّنَ الشُّكُرِ الْجَمِيلِ مَـطَايَاهُ ۞ وَاُصَلِّىْ وَاُسَلِّمُ عَلَى النُّوْرِ الْمَوْصُوْفِ بِالتَّـقَدُّمِ وَالأَوَّلِيَّةِ ۞ اَلْمُنْتَقِلِ فِى الْغُرَرِ الْكَرَيْمَةِ وَالْجِـبَاهِ ۞ وَاَسْتَمْنِحُ اللهَ تَعَالَى رِضْوَانًا يَخُصُّ الْعِتْرَةَ الطَّاهِرَةَ النَّـبَوِيَّةَ ۞ وَيَعُمُّ الصَّحَابَةَ وَالأَتْـبَاعَ وَمَنْ وَّالاَهُ ۞ وَاسْـتَجْدِيْهِ هِـدَايَةً لِّسُـلُوْكِ السُّـبُلِ الْوَضِيْحَةِ الْجَـلِيَّةِ ۞ وَحِفْظًا مِّنَ الْغَوَيَةِ فِى خِطَطِ الْخَطَإِوَخُـطَاهُ۞ وَاَنْشُرُ مِنْ قِصًّةِ الْمَوْلِدِ النَّبَوِىِّ بُرُوْدًا حِسَانًا عَبْقَرِيّـَةً ۞ نَاظِمًا مِّنَ النَّسَبِ الشَّرِيْفِ عِقْدًا تُحَلَّى الْمَسَامِحُ بِخُـلاَهُ۞ وَاَسْتَعِيْنُ بِحَوْلِاللهِ تَعَالَى وَقُوَّتِه الْقَوِيَّةِ ۞ فَاِنَّـه لاَحَوْلَ وَلاَ قُـوَّةَ اِلاَّ بِا للهِ ۞
Meaning: “Paradise and its pleasures are luck for anyone who prays and asks for the safety and blessings of the Prophet.
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
I started writing this book (the story of the Prophet’s Birthday) by invoking the name of Allah, the Most High, while asking for blessings for what He has bestowed. And also I offer puja and praise, with unceasing praise. And while offering the deepest sense of good gratitude. Nūr who was constantly moving from forehead to forehead of his ancestors, prominent people. And I ask for the pleasure of Allah ta’ala, especially for the holy family of the Prophet. And may it also overflow to his friends, his followers and those who love him. And I ask for guidance, so that we can all follow a path that is clear and bright. And I beg for protection, in order to be preserved from mistakes in writing this story. And I will tell the story of the Prophet’s Birthday in a beautiful and elegant way. While stringing strings of noble lineage that taste sweet to the listeners. Then, I asked Allah for help, with all power and strength from Allah ta’ālā. Because there is no power and strength except with Allah’s help.
Then it is recommended to stand while reading:

Humble myself before you.
Asking for your protection, O my beloved;
By your side a trapped deer.

And get ready to go, then call them to you to praise you.
I came to them with flowing tears;
I shouted: ‘Stop a moment O guide.’
Take these letters of mine,

Your poor servant expects;
Your strengths abound.
Good thoughts remain with you;
O Prophet of glad tidings, O Prophet of warner.
Help me and save me,

In an event that becomes disastrous.
Lucky is the servant who fills the heart;
And the trouble is gone.
Only to you, O full moon that appears; Only you good qualities.
There is no one holier than you;
O Prophet who became the grandfather of Ḥasan and Ḥusain.

O God who increases dignity.
May You wipe away all my sins;
May You forgive my crimes.
You are Forgiving of all faults;
And all the sins of disobedience,
You are the Cover of ugliness;
And that undoes all errors.
Who Knows secrets and more hidden things,
Who Allows all prayers.
O my Lord, have mercy on us all
With all the good deeds.
May Allah bestow blessings on the Prophet Muhammad,
As much as the writing counts above the line.
The most praiseworthy bearer of guidance is Muḥammad saw
Who has a face shining and radiant.”

Benefits of Reading Sholawat Prophet
Launching from the Merdeka.com page, reciting the Prophet’s prayer has various benefits for humans. Both the benefits shown by the eyes or those that can only be felt with the mind. Through sholawat can make life safe in this world and the hereafter.
Here are the benefits of reciting the Prophet’s sholawat.
1. Get a prayer from Allah
Someone who reads the prophet’s sholawat will get a sholawat in return from Allah. If someone reads sholawat for Prophet Muhammad SAW then Allah will reward him with 10 times sholawat for him. This is also mentioned in a hadith, in which the Prophet said, “Whoever prays for me once, then Allah swt blesses him 10 times.”
2. Get a Greeting from the Messenger of Allah
Every time someone prays to the prophet, the Messenger of Allah will greet him with prayers too. Not only that, someone who prays for the prophet will be recorded as 10 goodness. In a hadith narrated by Imam Thabrani and friend Anas bin Malik it is stated that, Whoever prays for me, the blessings will reach me and I will pray for him, and for him 10 goodness will be recorded.
3. Angels will Come Down Reading Sholawat
When we pray, not only Allah and the Messenger of Allah who also give rewards. However, angels will also respond by reciting 70 times the prophet’s prayer. This is explained in the hadith narrated by Imam Ahmad from Abdullah bin Umar ra, Rasulullah SAW said, “Whoever prays for the Prophet Muhammad once, then Allah swt and his angels will pray for him 70 times.”
4. Adding Reward Savings
Getting a reward is included in one of the virtues of reading the prophet’s sholawat. When we pray to the prophet, we will receive a reward equivalent to freeing 10 slaves sincerely for the sake of Allah. This is based on the hadith narrated by Ibn Abi Ashim from Al-Barra bin Azib ra, that people who pray will get rewards from Allah.
5. Increasing Degrees
By praying to the prophet, we can raise the degree. It is said that anyone who reads sholawat for the Prophet Muhammad SAW will be elevated in rank, added to his goodness, and eliminated the bad for him.
This was conveyed in a hadith narrated by Imam Thabrani, Imam An-Nasai, and Imam Al-Bazzar from Abu Burdah bin Nayar, the Messenger of Allah said, “Whoever prays for me from my people sincerely prays from his heart, Allah will bless him 10 times blessings, raises his degree 10 times, records for him 10 times the good, and removes for him 10 bad things.”
6. Obtaining Forgiveness of Sins
Next, the virtue of reading the Prophet’s prayer is that his sins are forgiven. Not only getting the reward of goodness, with the prayer of the prophet, sins will be forgiven by Allah. This was narrated in a hadith by Ibn Abi Asim and Al-Thabrani from Abu Kahil, the Messenger of Allah said, “O Abu Kahil, who prays for me three times every day and every night three times because of love and longing for me, indeed Allah will forgive my sins his sins in that night and that day.”
7. Become an Entertainer in the Grave Realm
The virtue of reading the Prophet’s sholwat can also ask for forgiveness from all mistakes and will be a consolation when in the grave in the future. It should be remembered that good deeds become friends for every living being who has died and been buried. Therefore, all adherents of Islam should increase their good deeds as provisions in the hereafter.
8. Getting the Prophet’s Intercession
When we diligently read sholawat, the Prophet Muhammad SAW will also get intercession from the Prophet. Intercession can be interpreted as help. Which, in the afterlife only believers will get the help of the Messenger of Allah from various difficulties that must be lived in the last day. Therefore, increasing the practice of reciting the Prophet’s prayers can help get the help of the Prophet easily.
9. Removing Poverty
The virtue of reading the next Prophet’s sholawat is the elimination of poverty. It is said that for anyone who reads the Prophet’s blessings, Allah will eliminate poverty for him and provide an abundance of beneficial goodness. Even though the practice of reciting the Prophet’s prayers is sunnah, reading the Prophet’s prayers will provide many good benefits both in this world and in the hereafter.
10. Flowing Blessings
The virtue of reading the next Prophet’s sholawat is the flow of blessings within. Muslims who pray for the prophet are included in the most important group of people by His side. Not only that, Allah will also flow blessings and kindness to anyone who prays on the Messenger of Allah. In fact, these blessings will continue to flow until our children and grandchildren later.
