مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيَّ فِيْ كِتَابٍ لَمْ تَزَلِ الْمَلَائِکَۃُ تَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُ مَا دَامَ اِسْمِي فِي ذٰلِكَ الْکِتَاب.

The final Prophet of Allahصَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم  stated, “Whoever writes ṣalāt upon me in a book, the angels will continue to pray for forgiveness for him as long as my name remains written in that book.”^[1]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                            صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Speech intentions

The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:  اَفْضَلُ الْعَمَلِ اَلنِّيَّۃُ الصَّادِقَۃُ – “The best of deeds is a sincere intention.”^[2]

O those who love Allah’s Messenger! Make good intentions before every action, as good intentions can lead one to Paradise. Before listening to the speech, we can make the following good intentions:

*    I will listen to the entire speech to gain knowledge.

*    I will sit respectfully.

*    I will avoid being lazy.

*    I will listen with the intention of self-improvement.

*    I will try to convey what I learn to others.
