إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَكَّلَ بِقَبْرِي مَلَكًا أَعْطَاهُ أَسْمَاعَ الْخَلَائِقِ فَلَا يُصَلِّي عَلَى أَحَدٌ إِلى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَّا أَبْلَغَنِي بِاسْمِهِ وَاسْمِ أَبِيْهِ هَذَا فُلَانُ بْنُ فُلانٍ قَدْ صَلَّى عَلَيْكَ

Indeed, Allah Almighty has appointed an angel at my grave who has been granted the power to hear the voices of all creation. So, whoever invokes blessings upon me until the Day of Judgment, that angel conveys it to me along with his name and his father’s name, (and says:) ‘So-and-so, son of so-and-so, has sent blessings upon you صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ .’^[1]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب      صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Speech intentions

The Messenger of Allah صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ  said:  اَفْضَلُ الْعَمَلِ اَلنِّيَّۃُ الصَّادِقَۃُ – “The best of deeds is a sincere intention.”^[2]

Dear Islamic brothers! Make it a habit to form 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:

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

2. I will sit respectfully.

3. I will avoid being lazy.

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

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

صَلُّوا عَلَی الْحَبِیْب!          صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلٰی مُحَمَّد
