Thursday night 21st

My Esteemed Teacher took the place of his Beloved Father and did the lesson on Salat alan Nabi Sallallahu Alaihe Wasallam on Thursday night (the night between Thursday & Friday) ....


My respected Teacher's talk was based on a book
namely, Ash- Shifa Of Qadi 'Iyad (Arabic version)

The meaning of the prayer on the Prophet.


Allah says, "Allah and His angels pray blessing on the prophet." (33:56)

Ibn 'Abbas Radiallahu Anhu said that the meaning of this verse is that Allah and His angels invoke blessings on the prophet. It is said that Allah showers mercy on the Prophet and His angels supplicate for him.

Al-Mubarrad said, "The root of the prayer is invoking mercy. It is mercy from Allah, and from the angels it is graciousness and supplication for Allah's mercy". It is related in the hadith describing the prayer of the angels for someone, who sits waiting for the prayer that they say "O Allah, forgive him! O Allah, show mercy to him!" This is the supplication they make.

Abu Bakr al-Qushayri said, "The prayer from Allah is mercy for anyone else other than the prophet and for the prophet it is distinction and more honour."

Abu'l-'Aliya said, "The prayer of Allah is His praise of the prophet to the angels. The prayer of the angels is supplication."
The prophet made a distinction between salaat (prayer) and barakah (blessing) in the hadith in which he taught about making the prayer on him.
(Quoted from translation of ash-Shifa by Aisha Abdarrahman Bewely)
After this My respected teacher indicated a few beneficial points:

*We must try and read the Salat alan-Nabi Sallallahu Alaihe Wasallam as much as we can...

*One Shaykh said, "By studying Ahadith I have Managed to deduce that if one manages to get hold of recitation of Qur'an daily and Salat alan-Nabi Sallallahu Alaihe Wasallam then Allah will fullfill all his permissible desires..."

*By reciting Salat alan Nabi Sallallahu Alaihe Wasallam, Allah will create Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihe Wasallam's love in him...

*There are innumerable benefits regarding this topic..

May Allah give us the Taufique...
