مَنْ صَلّٰی عَلَیَّ مِاءَۃً کَتَبَ اللہُ بَیْنَ عَیْنَیْہِ بَرَاءَ ۃً مِّنَ النِّفَاقِ وَبَرَاءَۃً مِّنَ النَّارِوَاَسْکَنَہُ اللہُ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَۃِ مَعَ الشُّہَدَاءِ

Whoever recites a hundred ṣalāt upon me has freedom from hypocrisy and Hellfire written between their eyes by Allah Almighty. On the Day of Judgement, Allah Almighty shall place them with the martyrs.^[1]

Intentions for the speech

The final Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated, اَفْضَلُ الْعَمَلِ اَلنِّيَّۃُ الصَّادِقَۃُ – “A truthful intention is the best action.”^[2] O those who love Allah’s Messenger! Make good intentions before every action, as this can be a means of entering Paradise. Before listening to this speech, make good intentions. For example:

*    I will listen to the entire speech to gain knowledge of Islam.

*    I will sit in a respectful manner.

*    I will not be lazy or inattentive during the speech.

*    I will listen to the speech to reform and better myself.

*    Whatever I hear and learn, I will try to convey to others.
