Taysiiru-l ’Asiiru Fii-s Salaati Wa Tasliiman Alaa-l Bashiiri Wa-l Nadhiir: That Which Makes The Difficulties Easy In Sending Prayers Upon The Giver O

What has been prepared with this book inspired by Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba is an English Translation, and Transliteration of a Qassida written by him that is titled ＂Taysiiru-l ’Asiiru Fii-s Salaati Wa Tasliiman Alaa-l Bashiiri Wa-l Nadhiir.＂ In English, this gives us ＂That Which Makes The Difficulties Easy In Sending Prayers Upon The Giver Of Glad Tidings And The Warner.＂ This Qassida consists entirely of Salawats which are ＂Prayers upon the Prophet Muhammad＂ (pbuh), and are formatted in such a way that they give us the ＂Ease＂ for any ＂Difficulty＂ that life may throw our way in the form of meditations and prayers.

What he does is use each of the Surah/Chapters of the Quran in poetic form as that which possesses the ＂Ease＂ for the ＂Difficulties＂ that are prayed for in this Qassida. It is almost like that which he was praying for, he already had the answer to, and Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba is relaying that same revelation to us, the readers of this Qassida.

Along with each of the Surah/Chapters of the Quran being used in poetic form in this Praise Poem, Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba uses the 99 Names of Allah alongside the Surah of the Quran. So when reciting this in a heartfelt manner, not only are you evoking and invoking the blessings and benefits of each Surah/Chapter of the Quran, but you are using the 99 Names of Allah intermittently to boost the signal to strengthen your connection to Allah by way of sending prayers upon His Prophet and Messenger (pbuh).

Bismillah Ir Rahman Ir Rahim. Inna-l laaha wa malaa’ikatahuu yusalluuna ’ala-n Nabiyy; yaa ayuha-l ladheena ’aamanuu salluu ’alayhi wa sallimuu tasleemaa.
