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

Whoever recites ṣalāt upon me a hundred times shall have freedom from hypocrisy and Hellfire written between his eyes by Allah. On the Day of Judgement, Allah shall station him with the martyrs.^[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 sermon, we can make the following good intentions:

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

*    I will sit respectfully.

*    I will avoid being lazy.

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

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