Spiritual Benefits of Salât and Salâm

Islam has been reduced to a dîn of outward obligations and actions alone. Emphasis is being put upon completing legal requirements of worship alone without regard to the spiritual contentment of the heart.

The Muslim Ummah needs to create a spiritual attachment to the Holy Prophet ﷺin order to fill this spiritual void.

The creation of a powerful and resolute affiliation is the reason why the Companions (RA) have been given such an elevated standing.

The best people are those living in my generation, then those who will follow them, and then those who will follow the latter- (Bukhârî)

The primary reason for this honour was their close and indelible affinity to the Prophet (ﷺ).

It is a common thing that the inception of a relationship begins with greetings.

Since the deeds of the believers are presented to the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), if we send salât and salâm upon the Prophet ﷺthis constitutes a very good deed and pious act. It is presented to Prophet Muhammad ﷺwho praises Allah (SWT) in his happiness.

Prophet ﷺhimself directly listens to those who invoke blessings on him irrespective of their nearness and remoteness.

Greetings answered by the beloved Prophet of Allah, in itself, it is the greatest and worthiest reward for a Muslim.

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

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.

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)
