The Prophetﷺ said:

أولى الناس بي يوم القيامة أكثرهم علي صلاةً

'The people who are most deserving of my closeness on the Day of Judgement are those who send prayers upon me in abundance.' (Source: Jami At-Tirmith: 484, Authenticated by At-Tirmithi)

The time you spend sending prayers upon the Prophetﷺ, is a reflection of how much you desire to be near to him on that day.

As we approach the Day of Arafah and Eid al-Adha, we might worry or even feel a sense of regret that we haven’t done enough in these first days of Dhul Hijjah—but there’s still time. There’s still time to engage in dhikr—la ilaaha ill-Allah, Allahu Akbar, Alhamdulillah. There’s still time to send salawat upon the Prophet ﷺ. There’s still time to open up the Qur’an or a translation and read a page, or half a page, or even one line. There’s still time to donate to a good cause, even if all we can give is $1. Alhamdulillah, there’s still time to connect with Allah—all it takes is one sincere moment. 

In a very encouraging narration, Ayesha (may Allah be pleased with her) related that once, the Prophet ﷺ was asked about the most beloved deeds to Allah. He said, 'Those deeds which are performed consistently, even if they are small.' (Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim) 

In the time that remains of these first ten days of Dhul Hijjah, even if we can only do a little, let’s try to do our best inshaAllah and there are so many ways to earn reward in addition to engaging in dhikr and salawat, praying, reading Qur’an, and making a donation. 

In one narration, the Prophet ﷺ taught us that speaking well with others is charity. Every step taken towards the prayer is charity. Removing a harmful object from the path is charity. (Sahih al-Bukhari) He taught us that 'Every good deed is an act of charity.' (Sahih al-Bukhari)  In another beautiful narration found in Sahih Muslim, Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Do not consider any good act inferior, even if it is to meet your brother or sister with a cheerful face.'

The Prophet ﷺ taught us that being pleasant and courteous with people is an act of great reward. In a very powerful and encouraging narration found in Sahih Muslim, Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Do not consider any good act insignificant, even if it is to meet your brother or sister with a cheerful face.' 

Many Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) have spoken about the pleasant nature of the Prophet ﷺ. In a narration found in the collection of Imam al-Tirmidhi, Abdullah bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) says, 'I never came across anyone who smiled as much as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' In another narration found in Sahih Muslim, Jarir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says, 'The Messenger of Allah never refused me permission to see him since I embraced Islam and never looked at me except with a smile on his face.' SubhanAllah. 

On this blessed day of Friday, let’s try to follow this incredible example and send plenty of salawat upon our Messenger ﷺ.

The Prophet ﷺ taught us a very beautiful and comprehensive dua which is found in Sahih Muslim. He used to say, 'Oh Allah, I take refuge and protection with You from weakness and laziness, from cowardice and miserliness, and from senility and the torment of the grave. Oh Allah give my soul a sense of taqwa and awareness of You. Purify my soul for You are the best One to purify it. You are its Protector and Guardian. Oh Allah, I take refuge with You from knowledge which does not benefit, from a heart that is not in awe of You, from a soul that is not content, and from a dua that is not answered.' 

اللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ وَالْهَرَمِ وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ اللّٰهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا وَزَكِّهَا أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا أَنْتَ وَلِيُّهَا وَمَوْلاَهَا اللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ لاَ يَنْفَعُ وَمِنْ قَلْبٍ لاَ يَخْشَعُ وَمِنْ نَفْسٍ لاَ تَشْبَعُ وَمِنْ دَعْوَةٍ لاَ يُسْتَجَابُ لَهَا

Today is the blessed day of Friday. Insha’Allah let’s take some time out to send salawat on the Prophet ﷺ, make dua for ourselves and others, and reconnect with Allah.

How does Allah think about the German Law ?.
https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/stgb/__61.html
Because I believe, that a german states appraiser will put you ICD-10 F20, if you believe in a soul and speak about it, so this thing is something you must believe and not speak about, because if this Allah is real your ICD-10 F20 soul will not depend on procreative success. 
This Law was introduced by Reichskanzler Adolf Hitler on November 24th 1933 and if you think about the fact, that the Nazis tried to erradicate all the Jews, that people actually believed, that there is a another spirit. That you forget about, if you believe you could convince a german state appraiser that your Allah is not ICD-10 F20

We learn from narrations of the Prophet (ﷺ) that there are many virtues of sending salawat (blessings and greetings) upon him. The Prophet (ﷺ) taught us that whenever we send blessings upon him once, Allah (SWT) write ten good deeds for us, forgives us of ten sins, elevates our statuses, and showers us with His mercy.

One of the easiest ways to send blessings upon the Prophet (ﷺ) is to say: صلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلَّمَ (Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wa Sallam) and one of the best days to this is Friday—TODAY.

Let’s make the most of this opportunity today by sending as much salawat upon the Prophet (ﷺ) as possible, and inshaAllah through this action, we will invite the mercy of Allah of into our lives.

Some scholars have mentioned that sending Prayers upon the Prophet ﷺ is also a form of goodness towards ones parents, because you become a reasons for why your fathers name is mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ.

The Prophet ﷺ said:
'Send prayers upon me in abundance, for indeed Allah has appointed an Angel at my grave. Whenever a person from among my nation prays upon me, that Angel informs me saying, O Muhammad, such person, the son of such person, has sent his prayers upon you this current moment'.
Sahih Al Jami: 1207.

اللهمّ صل علا سيدنا محمد

What is the need for our prayers upon the Prophet ﷺ, if Allah ﷻ and all His Angels continuously do so already?

The simple answer is that this is an opportunity for the believers to honour themselves.

By sending Prayers and peace upon the Prophet ﷺ we are honoring ourselves by joining Allah ﷻ and His Angels in this beautiful act.

Send your prayers upon the Prophet ﷺ everyday and especially on the day of Friday. 

صلى الله عليه و سلم 
What an honor to the messenger, Peace be upon him, and what an honor to the umma !


I am so emotionally exhausted. Even those 5 free minutes I have without the kids where I could bake bread from scratch or create large Pinterest style activities or all the other amazing ideas I see everyone calling for to do in this time, I just need space to process. I am tired. While I deeply appreciate the calls for productivity to the max, I am so tired of the assumptions that if you aren’t writing a book while simultaneously memorizing hadith and at the same time teaching your children about nature without actually going outside you’re not doing this right or at least not good enough.

And that’s why I’m so grateful for dhikr. Allah gave us a gift where we can literally gain blessings in this life, which raises our ranks in the next, and keeps us grounded even when all our own brains can’t seem to find the calm in the middle of the raging storm.
Today is Friday and it is a day to increase our Salawat on AlHabib salAllahu alayhi wa sallam. Whenever you say Allahuma sali ala Muhammad (there’s so many forms of sending salam on the Prophet peace be upon him), Allah exalts your mention ten times and removes ten sins from you and raises you ten degrees.

Your duaa is more accepted. The Angels in your presence write it for you and others take it to AlHabib salAllahu alayhi Wa Sallam.
You haven’t left your home but your heart and soul transcend to find the rest they’re craving, the tranquility they need, the quench for their parched pain just by sitting in the middle of your chaos and saying a version of the Salawat. What a gift to the tired and broken.

اللهم صل على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما صليت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد، اللهم بارك على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما باركت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد

What dhikr are you making or do you want to be making during your day?

Baarak Allahu feekum. This is really grounding. Someone told me the only way they find solace is by repeating 'hasbuna Allahu wani'm al-Wakeel.'
