Book Name:Durood-o-Salaam Kay Fazail
اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! We are in the sacred month of Sha’ban-ul-Mu’azzam, therefore having great respect for this sacred month we should worship and recite the Holy Quran more and more because this month is related to the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. The Beloved and Blessed Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: ‘شَعْبَانُ شَہْرِیْ وَ رَمَضَانُ شَہْـرُ اللّٰہِ’ i.e. Sha’ban is my month and Ramadan is the month of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. (Al-Jami’-us-Sagheer, pp. 301, Hadees 4889)
In this month, Salat-‘Alan-Nabi should be recited abundantly because it is stated in Ghunya-tut-Talibeen that in the blessed month of Sha’ban-ul-Mu’azzam, Salat-‘Alan-Nabi is abundantly recited upon the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and this is the month of sending Salat-‘Alan-Nabi upon the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. (Ghunya-tut-Talibeen, vol. 1, pp. 342)
It is narrated that the person who recites Salat upon the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم 700 times everyday in Sha’ban-ul-Mu’azzam, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will designate some angels who will convey his Salat to the blessed court of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم due to which the blessed soul of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم will be pleased, then Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will order the angels to make Du’a of forgiveness for the person until the Judgement Day.
(Al-Qaul-ul-Badi’, pp. 395)
Dear Islamic brothers! As this is the month of Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, and the month of reciting Salat-‘Alan-Nabi اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ today we will listen to the virtues of Salat-‘Alan-Nabi. Therefore,
Sayyid Mahmood Kurdi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: My mother informed me that my father (i.e. the maternal grandfather of Sayyid Mahmood Kurdi) Muhammad advised me: When I pass away and I am given Ghusl, a letter in green colour will fall on my shroud from the roof in which it will be written ‘ھٰذِہٖ بَرَاءَ ۃُ مُحَمَّدِنِ العَالِمِ بِعِلْمِہٖ مِنَ النَّار’ i.e. Muhammad, the one who is an Islamic scholar has been freed from the Hell due to knowledge. Keep the letter in my shroud.
