Blessings of Zakat
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
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
