Virtue of Sending Durood

The Blessed Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:

زَيِّنُوا مَجَالِسَكُمْ بِالصَّلَاةِ عَلَيَّ فَإِنَّ صَلَاتَكُمْ عَلَيَّ نُورٌ لَّكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

Translation: “Adorn your gatherings by sending Durood upon me, because sending Durood upon me will be a نور (light) for you on the Day of Judgement.”^[1]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Speech intentions

The final Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ 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.
