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

“Undoubtedly, Allah and His Angels send blessings on the Prophet (the Communicator of Unseen News), O you who believe! Send upon him blessings and salute him fully well in abundance”. (33/56)

Allah Ta ala at the very outset attributed Salawat (recital of blessings) on our Beloved Nabi Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ, first to Himself (Sunnat-i-Ilaahi), then to His Angels (Sunnat-i-Malaa’ika), and after this enjoined on the Muslims (Sunnat-i-Mu’mineen) to do the same.

“Tafseer-i-Rooh al-Bayaan”: “Some ‘Ulama are of the opinion that the meaning of Allah’s blessing is to raise Hazrat Muhammad Mustapha ﷺ to Maqaam-i-Mahmood (Glorious Station), the place from where he will intercede to Almighty Allah on behalf of his Ummat;

the Angels’ blessing means their prayer for enhancing the position of Hazrat Muhammad Mustapha ﷺ and beseeching forgiveness for his followers.

Blessings on the path of the believers means to obey, love and eulogize him.”

For in honouring Hazrat Muhammad Mustapha ﷺ Allah Ta ala has also attributed it to Himself, whereas in the case of Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam) Allah Ta ala asked only the Angels to show honour.

The Holy Prophet ﷺ said: “Increase your recitation of DUROOD on me on Friday because on this day Angels present themselves to me. 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)

“On Fridays recite the Salawat for me repeatedly! The Salawat will be conveyed to me.” (Ibn Habbaan, Ibn Majah)

When it was asked whether the Salawat would be conveyed to him after his Wisaal also, the Prophet ﷺ answered, “Soil does not rot Prophets’ bodies. Whenever a Muslim says the Salawat for me, an Angel informs me of it and says, ‘So-and-so’s son, so-and-so of your Ummah sent his Salaam and prayed for you.'”

Allah’s Messenger ﷺ came out and met Hazrat Abu Talha (ra). The latter rose and went to him saying: “My father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah! I see joy and delight in your countenance?” The Prophet ﷺ said: “Yes, for Gabriel has just come to me saying:  O Muhammad, whoever among your Community invokes blessings upon you once, Allah records for Him ten meritorious deeds, erases from his register ten evil deeds, and raises him ten degrees because of it .” (al-Sakhawi, al-Qawl al-Badi)

The Holy Prophet ﷺ said: “Invoke blessings upon me abundantly on Friday because it is a day that is (particularly) witnessed and the Angels witness it (abundantly). As soon as a person invokes blessings on me his invocation is shown to me until he ends it.” Hazrat Abu al-Darda’ (ra) said: “Even after (your) death?” The Prophet ﷺ replied: “Verily, Allah has forbidden the earth to consume the bodies of Prophets.” (Ibn Majah)

“Definitely there are many Angels of Allah that sojourn the earth and bring the Salaam of my Ummat to me”. (Nisaai; Ibn Habban)

……..The Holy Prophet ﷺ said that Hazrat Jibra’il (alaihis salaam) asked whether he should not give him glad tidings that Allah Ta ala said that He would send blessings to the person who recited the Holy Qur’an on him and peace and security to the person who bade Salutations to him. (Ahmad)

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)
