if he wants to eat, drink or sleep, he can do so).

The excellence of sending ṣalāt on the Prophet

The final Prophet of Allah, صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:

لِكُلِّ شَیْئٍ طَهَارَةٌ وَغُسْلٌ،وَطَهَارَةُ قُلُوْبِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ مِنَ الْصَدْأِ،اَلصَّلَاةُ عَلَیَّ

Indeed, there is purification and ghusl for everything, and sending ṣalāt upon me is the purification of rust on the hearts of the believers.^[1]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Speech intentions

The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: اَفْضَلُ الْعَمَلِ اَلنِّيَّۃُ الصَّادِقَۃُ - “The best of deeds is a sincere intention.”^[2]

O those who love Allah’s Messenger! Make it a habit to form good intentions before every action, as good intentions can lead one to Paradise. Before listening to the speech, make the following good intentions:

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

*     I will sit respectfully.

*     I will avoid laziness during the speech.

*     I will listen with the intention of self-improvement.
