Book Name:Surah Fatiha
Excellence of sending ṣalāt upon the Prophet صَلَّی اللہ عَلَیْہِ واٰلِہٖ وَ سَلَّمَ
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
Translation: “Whoever recites ṣalāt upon me one thousand times in a day, he will not die until he sees his abode in Paradise.”[1]
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
The beloved Prophet صَلَّى 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 speech, make good intentions, such as:
* You will listen to the entire speech to gain the knowledge of Islam.
* You will sit in a respectful manner.
* You will refrain from acting lazy during the speech.
* You will listen to the speech to reform yourself.
* Whatever you hear and learn, you will try to convey it to others.
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
