The excellences of reciting ṣalawāt upon the Prophet

The final Prophet of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stated:

مَنْ صَلّٰی عَلَیَّ فِیْ یَوْمٍ مِائَۃَ مَرَّۃٍ قَضَی اللہُ لَہُ مِائَۃَ حَاجَۃٍ سَبْعِیْنَ مِنْہَا لِاٰخِرَتِہٖ وَ ثَلاَثِیْنَ مِنْہَا لِدُنْیَاہُ

“Whoever recites 100 ṣalawāt upon me daily shall have 100 of their needs fulfilled by Allah, 70 of the Hereafter and 30 of the world.”^[1]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

The final Prophetصَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم   has stated, اَفْضَلُ الْعَمَلِ اَلنِّيَّۃُ الصَّادِقَۃُ – “The greatest deed is a truthful intention.”^[2] O those who love Allah’s Messenger!
