Surah Fatiha

Book Name:Surah Fatiha

Excellence of sending alāt 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
