Excellence of sending salat upon the Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ

The final Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:

مَنْ صَلّٰى عَلَيَّ صَلَّى اللہُ عَلَيْهِ عَشْراً بِهَا مَلَكٌ مُوَكَّلٌ بِهَا حَتّٰى يُبَلِّغَنِيْهَا

 “Whoever sends salat upon me once, Allah showers him with 10 mercies, and an angel is appointed to convey the salat to me.”^[1]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

The Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم   has stated: “اَفْضَلُ الْعَمَلِ اَلنِّيَّۃُ الصَّادِقَۃُ”, meaning, a truthful intention is the best action.^[2] O devotees of the Prophet, get into the habit of making good intentions before every action, because a good intention can be the cause of entering Paradise. Before listening to the bayan, make good intentions. For example,

*   you will listen to the entire bayan to gain the knowledge of Islam;

*   you will sit in a respectful manner;

*   you will refrain from laziness during the bayan;

*   you will listen to the bayan to reform yourself;

*   whatever you hear and learn, you will attempt to pass onto others.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
