Salat (Universal Sufism)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Salat is a prayer written by Hazrat Inayat Khan and read by Universal Sufism every midday and in the Universal Worship Service. It has accompanying hand and body movements, similar to those of Salah but includes many which do not exist in Salah.
[edit] Text
Most Gracious Lord, Master, Messiah and Saviour of humanity, we greet Thee with all humility. Thou art the First Cause and the Last Effect, the Divine Light and the Spirit of Guidance, Alpha and Omega. Thy Light is in all forms, Thy Love in all beings:in a loving mother, in a kind father, in an innocent child, in a helpful friend, and in an inspiring teacher. Allow is to recognize Thee in all Thy Holy Names and Forms: as Rama, as Krishna, as Shiva, as Buddha; let us know Thee as Abraham, as Solomon, as Zarathustra, as Moses, as Jesus, as Muhammed, and in many more Names and Forms, known and unknown to the world. We adore Thy Past, Thy Presence deeply enlightens our being, and we look for Thy Blessing in the future, O Messenger, Christ, Nabi, the Rasul of God! Thou whose heart constantly reaches upwards, Thou comest on earth with a Message, as a dove from above when dharma decayeth, and speakest the word that is put in thy mouth, as the light filleth the crescent moon. Let the star of the Divine Light shining in thy heart be reflected in the hearts of thy devotees. May the Message of God reach far and wide, illuminating and making the whole of humanity as one single family in the Parenthood of God. Amen [1]
