Forty Benefits in Supplicating for Your Prophet ﷺ (Part 3)

Follow @AhleDhikr

21 – Send the Peace and Blessings of Allaah upon the Prophet beautifies gatherings. It is not something that a person will regret in saying on the Day of Judgement (unlike other statements that may be uttered in their gatherings).  

22 – Through it poverty may be lifted.

23 – It removes the label of “stinginess”. The Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him] described true stinginess as those who do not send peace and blessings upon him when his name is mentioned.

24 – Success is through making this supplication because the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him] also described that the one who doesn’t send peace and blessings of Allaah upon him when his name is mentioned will be destroyed.

25 – Sending Peace and Blessings of Allaah upon the Prophet is a path that leads to Jannah and the one who abandons it is led astray from this path.

26 – It removes foulness that may be present in gatherings between Muslims. Gatherings which do not have the Praise of Allaah or the Sending of Peace and Blessings of Allaah upon His Messenger in them.

27 – All speech is perfected if it begins with Praising Allaah and Sending the Peace and Blessings of Allaah upon the Prophet.

28 – It is a cause in which the Correct Path is illuminated for him.

29 – It removes coarseness from a person.

30 – It is a means in which Allaah constantly Praises His Slave. If a person continuously sends the Peace and Blessings of Allaah upon His Prophet, then Allaah Praises that person and such a praise is filled between the heavens and the earths. This is because the person who sends the Peace and Blessings of Allaah upon His Prophet is supplicating to Allaah that He Praises the Prophet, and that He Honours him and Gives him nobleness. A principle known the Shareeah is “الجزاء من جنس العمل” meaning that a person receives the recompense according to the action that has been put forth – therefore if the person supplicates for the Prophet, then it is befitting that part of that supplication is also given to him.
