Virtues of Salat and Salam

Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ has been sent to us as a mercy. Making Salat and Salam on him benefits us, solves our problems and is a Barakah (blessing) [for us]. Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is not in need of it because Allah ﷻ says, Bismillahirrahman Al Rahim, ‘ ’, ‘Indeed, Allah and His angels send blessings on the

Prophet.’ (Qur’ān 33:56). Allah ﷻ and His angels confer Salat and Salam on the Holy Prophet ﷺ. Our Salat and Salam is of no value compared to Allah’s ﷻ Salat and Salam. But because of Allah’s ﷻ mercy to those who make Salat and Salam, Allah ﷻ creates an angel and that angel makes Dua for this person until The Day of Judgment.

Salat and Salam gets rid of the problems of this world and increase the Nūr (light) of the person. To make Salat and Salam is for our own good and benefit. Therefore, Allah ﷻ tells us to make Salat and Salam. Those who do it, whatever issues, distress or unfruitfulness they might have it’s a cure for all of it. A person gets more Nūr, their faith increases and their love for the Holy Prophet ﷺ increases. Making Salat and Salam would be a connection to our Holy Prophet ﷺ because he says: “Whoever makes Salat and Salam on me, Allah ﷻ makes it reach me and in return we respond back to that person.” So this is a great Ni’mah (favor).

There are plenty who make other people have doubts. Within the religion, there are plenty of people and those who claim to be Muslim and Ulama (scholars) who want to prohibit people from doing it. They cannot prohibit it. Those who are meant to do it and it’s their kismet will gain that virtue. However, those who do not want to make Salat and Salam and have doubts are deprived of it, may Allah ﷻ protect us. May Allah ﷻ increase our love for our Holy Prophet ﷺ because safety and salvation is with him. We cannot depend on our works. Our works are not worth five pennies but barely even one penny. A person worships not knowing where and how he’s worshiping however with the love of the Holy Prophet ﷺ insha’Allah we will be saved. May Allah ﷻ increase it insha’Allah.

Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
