صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers, bringing the speech to an end, I will now have the honour of mentioning the virtue of the Sunnah, as well as some etiquettes. The Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:

First, let us listen to a narration of the Prophet  صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم : “I used to forbid you from visiting the graves, but now visit them, for they will draw your attention away from this world and remind you of the hereafter.”^[2]
