اِنَّ الدُّعَاءَ مَوْقُوْفٌ بَیْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْاَرْضِ لَا یَصْعَدُ مِنْہُ شَیْءٌ حَتّٰی تُصَلِّیَ عَلٰی نَبِیِّکَ صَلَّی اللہُ عَلَیْہِ واٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ

“Indeed, duꜤāˈ remains suspended between the heavens and the earth, and nothing of it rises until you send ṣalāt upon your Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.”^[1]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Speech intentions

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.
