Meaning, ‘Whosoever recited the Quran and praised the Lord, then sent Salat upon the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and sought forgiveness from his Lord, then indeed, he has sought goodness from its place.’ (Tafseer Durr-e-Mansoor, vol. 8, p. 698)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

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

An important point

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

Intentions of listening to Bayan

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

   ۔2I will sit in the Attahiyyaat position for 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
