اَلصَّلٰوةُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَيۡكَ يَا رَسُوۡلَ اللّٰه وَعَلٰى اٰلِكَ وَاَصۡحٰبِكَ يَا حَبِيۡبَ اللّٰه

Please note that this speech was originally written for Islamic brothers, we have done necessary changes for Islamic sisters. It may be possible that some words could have been remained unchanged! If so, Muballighah should change the wordings accordingly at the time of delivering this speech. (Majlis-e-Tarajim)
The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated:
مَنْ صَلّٰى عَلَيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ عَشْراً بِهَا مَلَكٌ مُوَكَّلٌ بِهَا حَتّٰى يُبَلِّغَنِيْهَا
‘Whoever recites Durood upon me once, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ sends 10 mercies upon him and there is an angel appointed to bring that Durood to me.’
(Mu’jam Kabeer, vol. 8, pp. 134, Raqm 7611)
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Dear Islamic sisters! Before listening to the speech let’s, first of all, make good intentions to please Allah Almighty and earn reward. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘نِيَّةُ الۡمُؤۡمِنِ خَيۡرٌ مِّنۡ عَمَلِه’ 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 she will attain.
Note: The intentions mentioned below can be modified as per situation
Intentions of listening to the Bayan
1. Lowering my eyes, I will listen to the Bayan attentively.
2. Instead of resting against a wall etc., I will sit in reverential posture like that in Tashahhud as long as possible with the intention of paying respect to religious discourse.
3. I will make room for other Islamic sisters by folding my hands and limbs and by moving slightly.
