Adorn your gatherings by reciting Salat upon me, as your reciting of Salat upon me will be Noor for you on the Day of Judgement. (Jami’ Sagheer, pp. 280, Hadees 4580)

Dear Islamic brothers, whenever we are blessed to participate in a gathering of Zikr and Na’t and the pure name of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is mentioned, we should recite Salawat in order to attain blessings, so that our recited Salawat becomes Noor for us on the day of Judgement and a means of forgiveness.

صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد                                صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب

Dear Islamic brothers! Before listening to the speech let's, first of all, make good intentions to please Allah Almighty and earn reward. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘نِيَّةُ الۡمُؤۡمِنِ خَيۡرٌ مِّنۡ عَمَلِهٖ’ The intention of a Muslim is better than his deed. (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Kabeer, vol. 6, pp. 185, Hadees 5942)

An important point

For righteous and permissible work the more we make good intentions, the more we attain reward.

Intentions of listening to Bayan

   ۔1In order to gain knowledge of Deen, lowering my eyes, I will listen to the Bayan attentively.

   ۔2I will sit in the Attahiyyaat position as long as possible with the intention of showing respect for religious knowledge.

   ۔3When I hear صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب, اُذۡكُرُوا اللّٰه, تُوۡبُوۡا اِلَیاللّٰه, etc., I will reply loudly with the intention of gaining reward.

   ۔4After the Ijtima’, I will approach people to say Salaam, shake hands and make individual efforts upon them.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
