Salaam wa alaykum

I'm quite a fan of Seyed Ammar Nakshawani and I really love listening to his lectures. But he recites something before each and every single of his lectures but I dont know what it is, as it is in Arabic

Is it a dua of some sort, in praise of Ale Muhammad ?

if anyone knows would you be able to tell me? I really want to know.

thank you in advanced

wassalaam

[worshiper]

i think he recites what is being recited at the beginning of every majalis.

[Ali Musaaa :)]

Ah okay. Do you know what it is?

[Replicant]

Lots of different speakers read lots of different things before reciting, there's no set thing to say.

It's usually praising Allah ÓÈÍÇäå æÊÚÇáì, then sending peace on the Ahlulbayt and then maybe quoting a Quran verse or hadith that they will be discussing in the lecture.

[Gotham]

its called a khutba, apparently.

[Shia_Debater]

Before hes lecture he says

bismillahir rahmaanir raheem

alhamdulillahir rabbil `alameen

wa salaat wa salaam ala sayyidina wa atheemina wa habibi quloobina, abul qasim mohammad wa shaf`ian afoosina

In the name of Allah (swt) the most beneficent the most merciful

All praise is due to Allah (swt) lord of All the worlds

Prayer and peace upon Mister [sayed is like a title kind of like mister, its used to show respect] [I dunno what atheemina means] and the love/beloved of our hearts and the medicine of our souls, abul qasim mohammad [saww]

wa ala ahli baytihi at-tayyibeen at-tahireen wa ashibil ghuril mayaameen

alhamdulillahil ladhee ja`alana minal mutasikina bi wilayat sayyidi wa mawlai ali ibn abi talib [as]

and [prayers and peace] upon the [dont know the word for it] and Pure ahlul bayt [as] and the companions who are [dunno what guril mayaameen means]

all praise is due to Allah (swt) [then I dunno up until wilayat] governship of sayed and master ali son of abu talib [as]


alhamdulillahil ladhee hadana lee hadha wa ma kunna linahtadia lawla an hadan Allah

ama badiqoon Allah fee kitabil kareem

bismillahir rahmaanir raheem


Then says a verse/verses

all praise is due to Allah (swt) [dunno the translation of the rest]

[dunno the beginning then it says] in the generous book [Qur'an]

In the Name of Allah (swt) the most beneficent the most merciful

then he says a verse/verses

---

basically praising the Prophet the Ahlul Bayt and the righteous companions before starting the lecture

I may have made some mistakes in my post since I hardly know any arabic, if so please forgive me.

[ImamAliLover]

It's usually something along these lines:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate.  All praise is due to Allah and salawat and salam on our master and our magnificent, and the dear of our hearts, and the intercessor of our souls, Abu Qasim, Muhammad .  And (salawat and salam) on his (the Prophet's) Ahl al-Bayt, the good and pure and ma'soom and truthful.  All praise is due to Allah who made us firm adherents of (or cling strongly to) the wilayat of my master and guardian, Ali bin Abi Talib.  All praise is due to Allah who has guided us to this, and we could not have been guided were it not for Allah's guidance.  (And then he begins by quoting a hadith or ayah)

This is the general set-up with maybe some chages here and there in lectures here and there.  Sometimes there's a mention of the righteous Sahaba

was salam

bah brother Shia-Debator beat me do it lol jzk akhi

Unfortunately there's a lot of beauty and depth in this statement that doesn't really come out in the translation, without an explaniation.

^ JazakAllah Khair bro, you put it much nicer than me. Also now every time I watch one of sayed ammars lecturs ill know exactly what hes saying

Thanks alot

[al-`Ajal Ya Imaam]

Here, I wrote it down to read before my majlises to, this is it:

Bismillahir Rehman hir Raheem, Alhamdulillahir Rabil Alimeen, Was Salaatu Wasalaamu Ala Sayadina wa azeemina, wa habibe quloobina wa shafi e nafoosina Abal Qasim Mohammed

"allahuma Salay ala mohammadin wa alay mohammad"

Wa ala ahle bayt tayabeen wat tahireen wal masoomeen wal mazloomeen, alhamdulillahil ladhee ja'alana minal mutamas sakeena bee wilayat sayadee wa maulaya Ali Ibn Abi Talib

"allahuma Salay Ala Mohammadin wa alay mohammad"

Alhamdulillahil Ladhee hadana leehadha wa ma quna lina teh deeya laula an hadan Allah, amma ba'ad, faqala kitabihil kareem/ameeral momineen/khatimin nabee/etc "bismillahir rehman ar raheem....(the quote from quran, or hadith, or etc)"

that is it

[Ali Musaaa :)]

Thank you all so much, really helped

I just really wanted to know because he says it every time and I like listening to Arabic but it would be better if I knew what he was saying

Thanks

Salam Alaikum,


Thank you Shia_Debater for this wonderful transliteration and translation of Nakshawani's praise and salutations before a majlis begins. I never quite understood the full meaning of those.

But I hope you can put the Arabic texts in it too, because transliterations are quite inaccurate for the true pronunciations of arabic letters.

Thank you so much Shia_Debater.

Salam.

[Shia_Debater]

You are welcome brother - here is the arabic

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

الحمد لله رب العالمين

وصلاة وسلام على سيدنا و    . وحبيب قلوبنا و شفيع نفوسنا أبوالقاسم محمد

[The part I put a dot is meant to say adheeminaa but I can't make the arabic version for some reason - I'm using online transliteration and it's not showing the word properly]

وعلى أهل بيته الطيبين الطاهرين واصحابه     .    الميامين

[The part I put a dot is for the word "al-ghur" I couldn't transliterate it into arabic]

الحمد لله الذي جعلنا من المتمسكين بولاية سيدي ومولاي علي ابن أبي طالب

ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى هَدَىٰنَا لِهَٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِنَهْتَدِىَ لَوْلَآ أَنْ هَدَىٰنَا ٱللَّهُ


أما بعد يقول الله في كتابه الكريم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Please note that some of it may be wrong as Arabic isn't a language that I know - Also last time I did this transliteration I did a bit wrong and so I will correct those parts which were wrong

Yes, it is beautiful. JazakAllaah khayr to the individual who wrote it out.
Additionally, a du'a' that the A'imma would start out their speeches with is present in the introduction to an article by Nader Zaveri. Link: http://www.fileden.c...ger Fatimah.pdf

Alhamdulillah, being an arab is really a blessing. InshaAllah you will get more rewards because of the efforts you have to put forth.

[SyedUmaarKazmi]

I've just noticed a couple of mistakes; I've corrected them below.



And prayers and peace be upon our master, our defender,  ("Athimina" should be "our defender" - if it was "the great" it would be "al-Athim" - note: I believe "Athim" in this context means "defender" rather than "great" but I could be wrong).

Wa salatū wa salāma A’la Sayyidana wa āthimina

All praise is due to Allah, who made us the adherents of the Wilaya (Authority), Leadership and Mastership of Ali, the Son of Abu Talib. (I forgot to include "Moulaya" i.e. Mastership)
