The excellence of sending ṣalāt upon the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم

The final Prophet of Allah, our master Muhammad صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم declared:

مَنْ سَرَّہُ اَنْ یَلْقَی اللہَ  غَداً رَاضِیا ً، فَلْیُکْثِرِ الصَّلاۃَ عَلَیَّ

Whoever who wishes to meet Allah tomorrow whilst He is pleased with them should send an abundance of ṣalāt upon me.^[1]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب      صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Speech Intentions

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 Islamic knowledge.

2.I will sit in a respectful manner.

3.I will not be lazy or inattentive.

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

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

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب      صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
