The Wise Words of Shaykh Abd al Qadir al Jilani
The excellence of reciting ṣalāt upon the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم
The final Prophet of Allah, our master Muhammad صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:
اِنَّ اللّٰہَ وَکَّلَ بِقَبْرِیْ مَلَکًااَعْطَاہُ اَسْمَاعَ الْخَلَائِقِ فَلَا یُصَلِّیْ عَلَیَّ اَحَدٌ اِلٰی یَوْمِ الْقِیَامَۃِ اِلَّا اَبْلَغَنِیْ بِاسْمِہٖ وَاسْمِ اَبِیْہ ِہذَا فُلانُ بْنُ فُلانٍ قَدْ صَلّٰی عَلَیْکَ
Allah has indeed appointed an angel at my grave, to whom He granted the ability to hear the voices of all creation. So, whoever recites ṣalāt upon me until the Day of Judgement, it presents to me his name along with the name of his father; “So-and-so, son of so-and-so, sends ṣalāt upon you.”[1]
The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم 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.
