Hell; and on the Day of Judgement, He will keep him with martyrs. (Majma’-uz-Zawaid, vol. 10, pp. 253, Hadees 17298)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                                   صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Before listening to the Bayan, let’s make good intentions for pleasing Allah Almighty and attaining rewards. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘نِيَّةُ الۡمُؤۡمِنِ خَيۡرٌ مِّنۡ عَمَلِهٖ’ The intention of a Muslim is better than his deed.

(Al-Mu’jam-ul-Kabeer, vol. 6, pp. 185, Hadees 5942)

٭  The more righteous intentions one makes the greater reward he will attain.

Intentions of listening to Bayan

1.    Lowering my eyes, I will listen to the Bayan attentively.

2.   Instead of resting against a wall etc., I will sit as I sit in Tashahhud as long as possible with the intention of showing respect for religious knowledge.

3.   When I hear صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب, اُذۡكُرُوا اللّٰه, تُوۡبُوۡا اِلَي اللّٰه, etc., I will reply loudly with the intention of gaining reward and encouraging others to also recite.

4.  After the Bayan, I will approach other people by saying Salam, shaking hands, and for making individual efforts upon them.

صَـلُّوا عَلَى الْـحَـبِيْب                                                                                                                 صَـلَّى الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰى عَـلٰى مُـحَـمَّد

O devotees of Rasool! In today’s weekly Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima, let us listen to the importance of Salah, benefits of offering Salah and harm of leaving Salah.
