“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem”Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)

Negligient in  darood o salaam

Whenever the Prophet’s name is pronounced, it is compulsory to invoke blessings on him, because this is the sunnah of Almighty Allah, Prophet Âdam (AS), His angels and the commandment of His beloved Prophet (ﷺ).

The Prophet ﷺhimself condemned those who do not invoke blessings upon him. The reason is that Allah has raised the remembrance of his beloved Prophet ﷺand none has the authority to lessen it

The miserly is he, before whom I am mentioned and he does not invoke blessings on me-Tirmidhî, al-Jâmi‘-us-sahîh, b. of da‘wât (supplications) ch.101, (5: 551 # 3546).

Let his nose be smeared with dust, in whose presence I am mentioned, and he does not invoke blessings upon me-Tirmidhî, al-Jâmi‘-us-sahîh, b. of da‘wât (supplications) ch.101, (5: 550 # 3545).

He who forgets (abandons) to invoke blessings on me, misses the road (leading) to the Paradise– Ibn Mâjah, Sunan, b. of iqâmat-us-salât was-sunnah fîhâ

(establishing prayer and its sunnahs) ch. 25 (1: 294 # 908)

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 Judgement)– Tirmidhî in his al-Jâmi‘-us-sahîh, b. of du‘â’ (supplication) ch.8 (5: 461 # 3380)

 

The Acceptability of Salât and Salâm

All deeds inclusive of charity, alms, prayers, fasting, pilgrimage stand uncerain in the context of acceptance and acknowledgement. It is only hoped that they will (if Allah is Willing) be accepted.

Towards Him do (all) words of purity ascend; it is He who exalts each deed of righteousness- 35/10.

In contrast to this, salât and salâm is accepted by Allah in any instance and is always definitely acknowledged. Even if a sinful person recites salât and salâm, his act of sending the greetings to the Prophet ﷺwill be  acknowledged by all means.

They are sent to bestow blessings; to bestow nearness and to elevate the name and fame of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ).

Then he (Muhammad) approached and came closer and was at the distance of two bow-lengths or (even) nearer- 53/8-9.

And We have exalted for you your remembrance- 94/4.

Salutations and the Acceptance of other Worships

As salât and salâm upon the Holy Prophet ﷺis always accepted by right, it in itself becomes a vehicle for the acceptance of other acts of worship.

Should recite salât and salâm before and after each worship and deed.

It is not behooving on the part of Allah, that He may accept salât and salâm and not accept the other prayers in between salât and salâm.

The noble Prophet ﷺis the beloved of Allah (SWT). Thus Allah is pleased with anyone of His creation who sends salâm upon him.

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)
