Book Name:Durood-o-Salaam Kay Fazail

Things will get easy over Siraat bridge

Another advantage of reciting Salat-‘Alan-Nabi is this that the Salat we have recited will become a Noor [light] in the darkness of Siraat bridge. Siraat bridge is the bridge that is constructed over the Hell. It will be thinner than a strand of hair and sharper than the edge of a sword. Everyone will pass over it at the speed of his/her deeds; some will cross it at the speed of light so some will do it like a strong wind blow; some will cross it as a bird flies, so some will cross it as a horse and a man run and some will cross it by dragging. The one who will be commanded to be caught will be caught by the giant hooks fixed at both sides of the Siraat bridge and then they will throw him into the Hell.

If we want to cross the Siraat bridge without any harm, we should prepare for the Hereafter in this world and form our habit to recite Salat-‘Alan-Nabi abundantly. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, by virtue of its blessing the dark path of the Siraat bridge will become bright and we will attain salvation from this difficult stage. It has been narrated: ‘اَلصَّلاۃُ عَلَیَّ نُوْرٌ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَۃِ عِنْدَ ظُلُمَۃِ الصِّرَاطِ’ i.e. Reciting Salat-‘Alan-Nabi upon me will be a Noor [light] in the darkness of the Siraat bridge on the Judgement Day. ‘وَمَنْ اَرَادَاَنْ یُکْتَالَ لَہٗ بِالْمِکْیَالِ الْاَوْفٰی یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَۃِ’ And the one who likes that he be given the full reward on the Judgement Day ‘فَلْیُکْثِرْ مِنَ الصَّلَاۃِ عَلَیَّ’ so he should send Salat abundantly on me. (Al-Qaul-ul-Badi’, pp. 118)

 

کوئی قریبِ ترازو کوئی لبِ کوثر

کوئی صراط پہ ان کو پکارتا ہوگا

میں ان کےدر کا بھکاری ہوں فضلِ مولٰی سے

حسن فقیر کا جنت میں بسترا ہوگا

Beloved Rasool will intercede on Judgement Day

Another advantage of reciting Salat-‘Alan-Nabi is that by virtue of its blessing one will be blessed with the blessed intercession by the Beloved Rasool        صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم on the Judgement Day. Umm-ul-Mu`mineen, Sayyidatuna
