To Recite Salat-o-Salam Upon the Holy Prophet ﷺ

“…..There is no servant of Allah who recites SALUTATIONS upon me, except that his voice reaches me from wherever he is”. The Companions asked even after your departure? He replied, “Yes after my departure too, because Allah has made it Haraam upon the earth to consume the bodies of the Prophets”. (Jila-ul Ifhaam by ibn qayyim)

“There is no Muslim who invokes blessings upon me (salutes me), but Allah returns to me my soul till I respond to him in return.” (Abu Dawood)

Imam Jalaal’uddeen as-Suyuti (ra) listed 17 of these explanations. In the book Anba’ al-adhkiya’ fi hayat il-anbiya’ he said that “radda” means “‘ala al-dawam”, i.e. permanently, and not temporarily: in other words, Allah does not return the soul and take it back, then return it again and then take it back again, but He has returned it to the Prophet ﷺ permanently, and the Prophet ﷺ is alive permanently, not intermittently as some ignorant people have suggested.

Since there are always people at prayer (Salaah) in the world during the entire twenty-four hour cycle, and sending Salawat on the Prophet ﷺ is part of Salaah, therefore people are constantly and permanently invoking blessings and greetings on the Prophet ﷺ without stop in the world. .

That indeed he is alive in permanence, since Allah has entitled him to return every single Salaam that is made to him.

Although angels are commissioned by Almighty Allah to convey the blessings on the Noble Prophet ﷺ, salam is directly received by the Prophet ﷺ.

“Invoke blessings upon me, since blessings invoked by you are conveyed to me wherever you may be” (Abu Dawood)

“The mobile (squads) of angels in the earth conveys to me the blessings invoked upon me by my Ummah” (Nasai)

“The angels will continue to bless anyone who blesses me, as long as he continues to do so, so the servant should either reduce or enhance this” (Ibn Majah)

The Prophet ﷺ said:I met Jibril who said: I give you good news that Allah has said, “Whosoever asks for peace for you, I ask for peace for him, whosoever blesses you, I bless him.” Bayhaqi in Sunan-ul-kubra (2:371 & 9:286).

“He who invokes blessings upon me by my grave, I will hear him and he who invokes upon me at a distance it will be conveyed to me.” (Bayhaqī)

The real meaning of this Hadith is this, that we hear the Durood of the close by and not only do we hear the Durood of the one far away but we make it approach us and be heard.”We hear the Durood of the loved ones and make sure that those who are not the loved ones, their Durood still reaches us”.

Darood gives reward/sawaab but salam gives muhabbat and nisbat with rasoolallah ﷺ .its the reply of rasoolallah  ﷺthat raises us in this world and hereafter.

“The miserly is he, before whom I am mentioned and he does not invoke blessings on me” (Tirmidhi)

“He who forgets (abandons) to invoke blessings on me, misses the road (leading) to the Paradise.” (Ibn Majah)

“If people sit in an assembly in which they do not remember Allah nor invoke a blessing on their Prophet ﷺ, it will be a cause of grief for them (on the Day of Judgment)” (Tirmidhi)

When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
