Deeds that Save One from Hell

نَوَيۡتُ سُنَّتَ الۡاِعۡتِكَافِ

Translation: I have made the intention of Sunnah I’tikaaf.

Whenever you enter a Masjid, upon remembering, make the intention of ‘I’tikaaf’ because as long as you stay in the Masjid you will keep obtaining the reward of Nafli (supererogatory) I’tikaaf, and eating, drinking and sleeping will also become permissible for you in the Masjid.

Excellence of reciting Salat-‘Alan-Nabi صَلَّی اللّٰہ تعالٰی علیہ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم

The Prophet of Rahmah, the Intercessor of Ummah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: ‘مَنۡ صَلّٰي عَلَيَّ مِائَةً كَتَبَ اللّٰهُ بَيۡنَ عَيۡنَيۡهِ بَرَاءَةً مِّنَ النِّفَاقِ وَبَرَائَةً مِّنَ النَّار’ The one who sends 100 Salat to me, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ writes between his two eyes that this person is free from hypocrisy and hellfire ‘وَاَسۡكَنَهُ اللّٰهُ يَوۡمَ الۡقِيَامَةِ مَعَ الشُّهَدَاءِ’ and on the Day of Judgement, he will be kept with martyrs.
