Appreciate Blessings
مَنْ صَلّٰى عَلَيَّ صَلَّى اللہُ عَلَيْهِ عَشْراً بِهَا مَلَكٌ مُوَكَّلٌ بِهَا حَتّٰى يُبَلِّغَنِيْهَا
Translation: “Allah sends 10 mercies upon the one who recites salat upon me once, and an angel is appointed to convey that salat to me.”[1]
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
The Prophetصَلَّى 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.
