Answered by Shaykh Shuaib Ally

Question: Assalam alaykum,

Can you provide me a supplication in order to send peace and blessings upon all of the Prophets?

Answer: Wa alaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,

A person can create and choose whatever form they deem appropriate in sending peace and blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), so long as it does not militate against the spirit of the tradition.

That said, our history does record a variety of beautiful ways of sending peace and blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), some of which also include prayers for the rest of Prophets.

Imam al-Jazuli, in his Dala’il al-Khayrat, mentions various such prayers, including the following:

اللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَآدَمَ وَ نُوحٍ وَإبرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَى وَعِيسَى وَمَا بَينَهُمْ مِن النَّبِيِّينَ وَالمُرسَلِينَ صَلَوَاتُ اللهِ وسَلامُهُ عَلَيهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ


“Oh Allah, bless our masters Muhammad, Adam, Nuh, Ibrahim, Musa, and Isa, as well as the Prophets and Messengers between their eras; may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon them all!”
