Excellence of sending salāt upon the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم

The final Prophet of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:

مَنْ صَلَّی عَلَیَّ  فِیْ  یَوْمٍ اَلْفَ مَرَّۃٍ لَمْ یَمُتْ حَتَّی یَرٰی مَقْعَدَہُ مِنَ الْجَنَّۃِ

“Whoever recites salat upon me 1000 times in a day will not die until he sees his place in Paradise.”[1]

 

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

The Prophetصَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم   has stated: اَفْضَلُ الْعَمَلِ اَلنِّيَّۃُ الصَّادِقَۃُ, A truthful intention is the best action.”[2] O devotees of the Prophet! Make good intentions before every action, as this can be a means of entering Paradise. Before listening to the bayan, make good intentions. For example,

*   you will listen to the entire bayan to gain the knowledge of Islam.

*   you will sit in a respectful manner.

*   you will refrain from laziness during the bayan.

*   you will listen to the bayan to reform yourself.

*   whatever you hear and learn, you will try to convey it to others.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
