زَیِّـنُوْا مَجَالِسَکُمْ بِالصَّلَاةِ عَلَیَّ فَاِنَّ صَلَاَ تَـکُمْ عَلَیَّ نُوْرٌ لَّـکُمْ یَـوْمَ الْقِیَامَةِ

Beautify your gatherings by sending ṣalāt upon me, for indeed, your sending of ṣalāt upon me shall be light for you on the Day of Judgement.^[1]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Intentions for Listening to a Speech

The final Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, 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.
