The Excellence of sending Ṣalāt upon the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم
The beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:
حَیْثُمَا کُنْتُمْ فَصَلُّوْا عَلَّیَ فَاِنَّ صَلَاتَکُمْ تَبْلُغُنِیْ
“Wherever you may be, send ṣalāt upon me, for indeed your ṣalāt reaches me.”[1]
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
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 during the speech.
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
