Virtue of Salat upon the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم

Dear Islamic brothers! There are countless virtues and blessings of reciting Salat and Salaam; pens can break, their ink can run out and words can also come to an end, but the amount of Salat and Salaam sent upon the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم cannot be enumerated.
