countless of benefits in this world and in the Hereafter. Let’s listen to some virtues of Salat-‘Alan-Nabi for our persuasion:

In the book ‘Jazb-ul-Quloob’, Sayyiduna Shaykh ‘Abdul Haq Muhaddis Dihlvi عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی has stated: When a true believer recites Salat-‘Alan-Nabi once, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ sends mercy on him ten times, elevates his status by ten times, grants him ten rewards and grants the reward of freeing 10 slaves and participating in 20 Ghazawat (battles).

Through Salat-‘Alan-Nabi, Du’as are answered. Reciting it makes the intercession of the Prophet of Rahmah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم Wajib. A reciter of Salat-‘Alan-Nabi will be blessed with closeness to the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم at the door of Jannah. The recitation of Salat-‘Alan-Nabi is sufficient for getting rid of all worries and for the fulfilment of all needs. Salat-‘Alan-Nabi is an atonement for sins and a substitute for Sadaqah, or rather superior to Sadaqah.

He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه further said: Salat-‘Alan-Nabi removes difficulties, cures illnesses, overcomes fear, saves one from cruelty and oppression, bestows victory over enemies, brings about the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, develops love for Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ in the heart; by reciting Salat-’Alan-Nabi, the angels make the Zikr of that person. Salat-’Alan-Nabi completes one’s deeds; it purifies the heart including one’s life and possessions; the reciter gets prosperous, attains blessings, in fact his four generations will continue to receive its blessings. (Jazb-ul-Quloob, pp. 229)
