ہے شفا ہی شفا، مرحبا! مرحبا!

آ کے خود دیکھ لیں، قافلے میں چلو

دل میں گر دَرد ہو ڈر سے رُخ  زَرد ہو

پاؤ گے فَرحتیں قافلے میں چلو

Dear Islamic brothers! Reciting Salat-‘Alan-Nabi is an extremely great act. It is difficult to mention its countless benefits in one sitting. Let’s listen to some worldly and Hereafter benefits of Salat-‘Alan-Nabi for attaining blessings and the mercy of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

Cleanse hearts

One advantage of reciting Salat-‘Alan-Nabi is that it cleanses the hearts. Alas, today our heart has become so hard after being contaminated with sins that we turn a deaf ear on all good advices. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ forbid, if we continue to have this habit of committing sins until our death, so what will we show to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم on the Judgement Day. Therefore, repent of sins and form the habit of reciting Salat-‘Alan-Nabi for cleansing the hearts. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘Cleanliness and Ghusl are for everything and cleansing of the hearts of believers is to recite Salat upon me. (Al-Qaul-ul-Badi’, pp. 281)

Everyone is busy finding different ways to solve economic problems. Remember, all these things are because of our bad deeds. If we act upon Islamic teachings and refrain from the acts leading to decrease in sustenance such as missing Salahs, telling lies, being unthankful
