Excellence of Salat upon the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم

The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:

مَنْ صَلّٰی عَلَیَّ یَوْمَ الْجُمُعَۃِ کَانَتْ شَفَاعَۃً لَہُ عِنْدِیْ یَوْمَ القِیَامَۃِ

“Whoever recites Salat (Durood) upon me on the day of Friday, I will intercede for him on the Day of Judgement.”^[1]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Speech intentions

The final Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:

اَفْضَلُ الْعَمَلِ اَلنِّيَّۃُ الصَّادِقَۃُ

A truthful intention is the best action.^[2]

O those who love Allāh’s Messenger! Make good intentions before every action, as this can be a means of entering Paradise. Before listening to this speech, make good intentions. For example:

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

2. I will sit in a respectful manner.

3. I will not be lazy or inattentive during the speech.

4. I will listen to the speech to reform and better myself.

5. Whatever I hear and learn, I will try to convey to others.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
