Dear Islamic brothers! The beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has endless love for us, and he is always pleading in the court of Allah Almighty for the forgiveness of his sinful ummah. There is no doubt that heصَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has countless favours over us, but how is it possible for us to thank him. We can at least send gifts of ṣalāt to him, i.e., supplicate for mercy for him. Just as the poor people supplicate for a generous benefactor.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

O devotees of the Prophet! One major benefit of sending ṣalāt upon the Prophet is that we will be granted the beloved Prophet’s intercession on the Day of Judgement. Just as the mother of the believers, Sayyidah ꜤĀʾisha al-Ṣiddīqah رَضِیَ اللہُ عَنْہا narrates that the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:

مَنْ صَلّٰی عَلَیَّ یَوْمَ الْجُمُعَۃِ  کَانَتْ شَفَاعَۃٌ لَّہٗ عِنْدِیْ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَۃ

“Whosoever recites ṣalāt upon me on Friday, I will intercede for him on the Day of Judgement.”^[1]

Dear Islamic brothers! In verse 4 of Sūrah al-MaꜤārij, it is mentioned regarding the Day of Judgement:

کَانَ مِقۡدَارُہٗ  خَمۡسِیۡنَ اَلۡفَ سَنَۃٍ ۚ(۴)

The duration of which is fifty thousand years (according to the worldly calculation of time).

On that Day the sun will be scorching hot, the ground will be of burning copper, and each person will be immersed in their own sweat. Due to
