Virtue of ṣalāt on the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم

The beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, said:

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

Whoever recites ṣalāt upon me one hundred (100) times daily, Allah Almighty will fulfil one hundred (100) of their needs—seventy (70) of them related to his Hereafter and thirty (30) of them related to the world.^[1]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Intentions for listening to the speech

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

O lovers of the Prophet! Make it a habit to form good intentions before every action, as good intentions can lead one to Juzˈdise. Before listening to the sermon, make the following good intentions:

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

*     I will sit respectfully.

*     I will avoid laziness during the sermon.

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

*     I will try to convey what I learn to others.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                             صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
