Until the day of my dear respected elders and brothers in Islam, first and foremost, I remind myself and then all of you all present here to adopt a life of taqwa. And that is to be conscious of your maker during every single second of your lives. If you wish to attain success in this world as well as the hereafter May Allah subhanho wa Taala make us

And then Allah subhanho wa Taala goes on to command goes on to address the people have a man
and just as how our silicon asylee our pious people of the past they report to have said that whenever Allah subhanho wa Taala addresses in the in the Quran, yeah you have larina Amano, it is upon us to listen with an attentive ear. Now that does not mean that we disregard the other is no in general you're supposed to listen to the words of Allah subhanho wa Taala attentively, but this form of addressing Yeah, you will Edina mn O you who have brought in Eman because obviously we consider ourselves minalima. From the people of Eman we believe in Allah we believe in the six articles of faith may Allah subhanho wa Taala keep us on the right and steadfast path I mean,
so we consider ourselves from the people of Eman therefore we need to listen attentively Allah subhanho wa Taala is addressing us. Yeah, you handle it in a manner or you who have brought any man or you the people of email so I'll do it he was telling me this Lima. In other words, send blessings and salutations upon him Mohammed sal Allahu Allah, he were early he was selling. So this is a direct command coming to us from Allah subhanho wa Taala that we are supposed to send blessings and salutations upon the messengers of Allah Allahu Allah usnm
it is something that Allah subhanho wa Taala started off with in Allah. Allah sends blessings and salutations and then the angels and then thirdly, the people of a man. So inshallah Tyler The topic for today's sermon is going to be about sending blessings and salutations upon Mohammed sal Allahu Allahu alayhi wa sallam, please remember salvato whenever I mentioned his beautiful name.
Firstly, we're going to talk about a few virtues in regards to sending blessings and salutations upon Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and then we're going to talk about how we're supposed to send blessings and salutations. And finally we'll cap off with a few. And meanwhile, there are certain places where we're supposed to or occasions where we are specifically, where we have been specifically instructed by the prophet sallallahu Sallam to send the blessings and salutations upon him. So starting off with the virtues First, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is reported to have said,
in an authentic hadith along the lines of these words, Ola Naseby yom Okayama, Akhtar rumalaya. Salatin that the ones will be closest to me on the day of Ghana, the ones who will be closest to the gathering of the Prophet closest to the prophets of the long winding Valley was lol, are the ones who send excessive blessings and salutations upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, so you love Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam we all love the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, we want to be close to him. We want to be with him on the day of Tiana we want to be with him in general. We want to be part of his gathering. We want to drink from his blessing hands at the house
at the fountain.
So therefore send excessive blessings and salutations upon the messenger sal Allahu Allahu Allah He was said.
Think about it.
When someone you love someone you like maybe someone famous comes down, you want to perhaps go meet that person. You want to maybe greet that person. You want to have a few words with that individual. And at times you see a lot of people throwing around that individual. You're finding it difficult to make it close to that individual but yet your heart is yearning to meet so and so. So think about your situation on the day of gamma, when the entirety of mankind, the oma of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, that all be thronging to meet the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, you know about the scenes in the gas of the day of Tamar we will go prophet after prophet Subhana Allah will
go prophet after prophet begging and pleading for them to intercede on behalf of us but each prophet will say go to the next prophet. Go to the next prophet. We will start off with our father Adam, Allah He salat wa salam and then we will go on to new highlight history that was Salam. Ibrahim alayhi salatu salam, Prophet after Prophet, they will send us go to the next prophet go to the next Prophet, until finally mankind will from around Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam a my mother, my father and my appearance and for him, we will thrown around him, we will plead we will beg, oh messenger of Allah, intercede on behalf of us and Mohammed sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he will get
up he will say yes, I am the one for that. And he will intercede on behalf of us Subhana Allah. So think about it, mankind thronging around the messenger, your heart is yearning, to meet the messenger to be with the messenger to sit down with the messenger and look at what he has instructed you to do for you to get that VIP status, send excessive blessings and salutations upon him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
In another Hadith the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is reported to have said that the one who sends blessings and along the lines of these words Akuma call it so that was the one who sends blessings and salutations upon the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam once allies Virgil mentions Allah subhanho wa Taala remembers Allah subhanho wa Taala sends blessings upon this individual 10 times Subhana Allah 10 times you're sending blessings and salutations once upon Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam where you say sallallahu alayhi wa sallam or you say Allahumma suddenly Allah, Mohammed Ali, Mohammed, you're saying it once. And then the maker, the Lord, the King of all
kings, the Exalted is sending blessings and salutations upon you, my dear brother, upon you, my dear sister, 10 times Subhana Allah, Allah is exalting you, Allah is remembering you amidst the angels amidst the Malaika amidst jabril amidst Mika, even amidst all these powerful beings, Allah is remembering you Subhana Allah 10 times along, look at the virtues of Panama in another Hadith that has been a quarter of the book of Imam Muhammad Rahim Allah. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is reported to have said, that the one who sends blessings upon me the one who sends blessings upon me once Eliza Virgil writes 10 good deeds for that individual. Allah subhanho wa Taala writes 10
good deeds, Eliza Virgil you raises 10 evil deeds 10 Sins of that individual and he is raised 10 ranks Subhana Allah He is raised 10 ranks, you send blessings and salutations once 10 good deeds 10 sins He raised Subhana Allah and tindora jack 10 ranks your race 10 ranks Allahu Akbar sending blessings upon Mohammed Salah llama and even we have a hadith
where
obey even cab or the other one. he narrates the Hadees he is reported to have said and this hadith has been recorded in the book of Mr materia de
la, Sobell human capital the Allahu anhu. He goes to the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he says they are a sort of law, in terms of my law, in terms of my law, and the narration goes along the lines of these words I make existed the law so from my law, how much of it should I allocate towards sending towards sending blessings and salutations upon you? You're a surah Allah, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he responded, whatever you wish, a wish, however much you wish, Marcia, however much you wish, then obey human capital. The last one, he asks the messenger jasola a robot?
Should I make one fourth of my supplications in the sense, if I'm making the app should i divided into four parts and one photo of it? A quarter of it, shall I dedicated chalet and okay to sending blessings and salutations
upon you, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he responds to that mashup, however much you wish for in zipped for hyaluronic. But if you were to increase it, it will be better for you. If you were to increase it, it will be better for you then obey human capital the last one who goes on to say, unless Shall I make it half them in terms of my job? Can I divide it into two portions and half of it shall I dedicated Shall I relocated to sending blessings and salutations upon you? The Prophet sallallahu Sallam response, Masha, however much you wish for in zipped for both.
But if you increase it, it will be good for you. Then obey human capital the other one will ask the Prophet sallallahu Sallam How about a student saying how about to third How about your Salah I divide my da into three parts and two thirds of it shall I allocate it to sending blessings and salutations upon you the Prophet sallallahu Sallam again response Marcia, however much you wish for in zipped them for high rolek but if you were to increase it, it will be good for you. Until finally obey human capital the law whiner says they are also the law. I make my entire
sending greetings and salutations upon you.
And that was sort of what he said a lot more it really was. goes on to tell him He then took for him Aqua yoga
a lot. If that is the case, then your concerns will be taken care of by Allah subhanho wa Taala and all your sins will be forgiven.
as scholars they're going to explain
to him a whole lie Michelle, Daniel himolla and others they go on to comment in regards to this, Heidi, the understanding of it is that it does not mean that you don't make do it for yourself. No, you're supposed to make the art for yourself. But the understanding of this hadith is that the more you send blessings and salutations upon the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam, Allah azza wa jal will look after your worldly concerns, your worldly concerns, your worldly worries, the worldly trials and challenges that you're going through our subhanho wa Taala will take care of it and your sins will be forgiven. So what does that equate if your sins are forgiven, you're not going to face
trials and challenges in the Hereafter, you're going to fly into gender into paradise. So therefore, this is an encouragement to send a message as much as possible. As much as possible. Send blessings and salutations upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam your worries will be looked after your concerns will be taken care of by Allah subhanho wa Taala.
Now coming to how we supposed to send blessings and salutations upon the Prophet sallallahu sallam, the Sahaba they asked the Prophet sallallahu Sallam this and he educated them, that you If you wish, you can send blessings and salutations by saying sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, you can send blessings and salutations by saying Allahu wa salli, ala Muhammad, Allah Allah Mohammed, but the best way to send blessings and salutations, as has been educated to us by the prophet sallallahu Sallam is the
Salat Al ebrahimian, where the Prophet sallallahu Sallam there are a few a hadith so you have a couple of variations. One or two variations are mentioned. Two of them. One is you could say Allahumma salli ala Mohammed Ali Mohammed, Kumasi later Allah Ibrahima vida le brought him in Jaime de Majid robotic Allah Muhammad, Allah Allah Mohammed
Ibrahim Ibrahim A Filomena in the Camino Majid. This is one variation and this is the one that we read in the final childhood in every prayer. There's another variation taught to us by the professor Allison I mean this hadith has been recorded in the book of Imam Al Bukhari as well as Mr. Muslim rahima home Allah and this variation goes is this Allahumma salli ala Muhammad wila as well as he went to Rio Chica masala Allah Allah Ibrahim barbaric Allah Muhammad wa ala as far as he whether he come about china alibaba him in a Kahani de Mogi. So this is the most complete way of sending blessings and salutations upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Allahumma salli ala Muhammad,
Allah Allah Mohammed kamasan later Allah Ibrahim Ali Ibrahim in the middle Majid Welbeck Allah Muhammad, Allah Allah Mohammed come about Allah Ibrahim Ibrahim in the Gambia dementia so you send the blessings and salutations upon the Prophet in a way where you're making the ion to Allah send blessings and salutations upon Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam upon his family upon his companions just as how you send to blessings and salutations upon Ibrahim alayhi salatu salam and the family of people around him at least that was blessed Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam obec Allah Muhammad Ali Mohammed bless the family of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam just as how you
blessed Ibrahim alayhi salatu salam and the family of Ibrahim Ali so that was a it's a very powerful way to send the blessings and salutations
upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Now let me quickly run through a few occasions, a few important locations where you're supposed to send blessings and salutations upon the prophets of Allah while he when he was sitting number one, obviously, is in the final output. In the final Tushar hood when you are in Salah, you send the blessings and salutations upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam This is something well known we all do it but Allah hellhammer number two by the IJA with him I've been after them I've been in the sense after responding to them I've been the prophets that a long while a very seldom is report Prophet, either semi auto Vin for
aluminum foil when you hear them or even when you hear the person calling out the other repeat after him just as how he says. And then after that Summa Sol, do eyelid and then afterwards Send blessings and salutations upon me send blessings and salutations upon me. And in the Hadith the Hadith is recorded in the book of Imam Muslim Rahim Allah the Prophet goes on to say sallallahu alayhi wa sallam The one who sends blessings and salutations upon me once Eliza gel exhausts that individual Allah remembers that individual Allah sends blessings and salutations upon the individual 10 times.
So after the after responding to them, or as when you're supposed to send blessings and salutations upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam before reading the door.
Number three.
Whenever you hear
the name of the prophets or allamani, whenever the messenger is mentioned, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam his report to upset Alba Hebrew man Luca Turin, the Who is
the one who
hears my name and does not send blessings and salutations upon me is Alba Hill is someone who is stingy. Allahu Akbar, a person who is stingy. He's the one who when he hears my name, he refuses or he he remains the way he is without sending blessings and salutations upon me. So whenever you hear the name of the prophets that alone widely read Eva Selim, you're supposed to send blessings and salutations upon the Prophet salaries and among the scholars go on to explain, even when you read in the Koran, if you come across the mention of the prophets of Allah, highly, very personal, either if you come across the name of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, or if you come across Allah
subhanho wa Taala mentioning the Prophet such as yeah you are Sol, Allah subhanho wa Taala mentioned in the Quran. If you come to a mention of the Prophet, try and send blessings and salutations then they're immediately upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam you have to an even when you are in Salah. If it is an optional Salah you may send you can pause your recitation and send blessings and salutations upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam if you read in the Quran, outside of Salah you obviously pause your recitation since upon the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam inside Salah if it is a natural soda if it is an optional soda again you send blessings and
salutations upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam if it is a further Salah. You send blessings and salutations upon the Prophet in your heart. Or if you are behind an Imam, if you're listening to the recitation of the Imam, and if the Imam mentions the name of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam either directly or indirectly Yeah, you have maybe for example, in the for unlimited remote if he were to read through to him and if he were to read, yeah, you have never Ulema to have removed and he goes on to read the ayah. He has mentioned the Prophet at that point, you send blessings and salutations upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in your heart
because you are in Salah in a form of Salah. If it is an NFS Allah you can send blessings and salutations upon the Prophet sallallahu sallam. Normally if you are reading the Koran outside of Salah you pause the recitation and send blessings and salutations upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam if you are in a gathering like a gathering of this nature, when we mentioned the name Mohamed Salah Bhavana when he was we all should say sallallahu alayhi wa sallam sending blessings and salutations upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa said
and then when making when making dua, you're supposed to send blessings and salutations upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, we have a hadith where once the Prophet sallallahu Sallam he heard a man making dua and he did not send blessings and salutations upon the prophets that alone while he when he was Silla, utiliser la Selim his reporter said Angela had this one has you know hastened he has rushed, because he made the Torah without sending blessings and salutations upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and then he went on to educate that man or he went on to educate the others who are around him, that if one of you either so Allah hadoken pelea beta beta
Hamidullah, he was an AIA Suman, you suddenly Allah Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam familia de Roberto Masha. So the one who wants to make dua let him start off by praising Allah
You start your day off but you just don't raise your hands and ask Allah subhanho wa Taala but instead the etiquette of making there are you praise Allah subhanho wa Taala Okay, we have done for now you praise aligns the agenda glorify a loss of Heineken which Allah, then you send the blessings and salutations upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and then after that you can make whatever the * you want to make, but make sure you send blessings and salutations upon the Prophet salesianum because there's another Hadith that has been recorded by Mr. Motta Bharani Rahim Allah the Prophet sallallaahu Mr. Porter have said that every da is my job. My job in the sense it's
wailed. It's wailed, it's wailed from reaching Allah subhanho wa Taala. Until you send blessings and salutations upon the prophets are a one mile evaluation. So you are
it's almost as if it's a it's a barrier to open the barrier. You need to send blessings and salutations upon the Prophet sallallahu sallam. So the etiquette praise Allah sent blessings and salutations upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and then make your dua and inshallah Allah your daughters will be answered but Allah subhanho wa Taala.
The next situation where you would read, where you would send blessings and salutations is in a gathering, especially when dispersing after meeting after a gathering after a gathering breaks apart and when you disperse, you're supposed to send blessings and salutations upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the Hadith live in recorded by Imam Al Hakim Rahim Allah the Prophet sallallahu Sallam is report prophet along the lines of these words,
whichever gathering, whichever gathering or the people who sit in a gathering, and if they sit for a long time, and then once they disperse after the gathering, if they have not remembered a law, if they had not, if they have not sent two blessings and salutations upon Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that gathering of this, that meeting of this will be a cause of regret for them on Doomsday on the day of Ghana, it will be a cause of regret for them on the day of gamma. Therefore, if you are in a meeting, and if you're in a meeting, if you are in a gathering and you are about to disperse, it's from the etiquette of gatherings where the prophets Allah Islam is reported report as
you're supposed to read the DA Subhana Allah subhana wa Hobi, Hamza shadow La Ilaha Illa and esto Furukawa to be late and then send blessings and salutations upon the Prophet sallallahu Islander began to meet you while he was off. He was lm Allahumma salli ala Muhammad, Allah Allah Mohammed, the earlier to activate the prophets Allah Allah Islam is reported to have told us that by reading the dua, your mistakes, or perhaps whatever you are done unintentionally, your the time that you spent without remembering Allah subhanho wa Taala for all of that you are forgiven by reading the DA Subhana Allah who will be handed a shadow on the
stove, to the lake and then right after that you send blessings and salutations upon the Prophet by saying Allahu wa salli ala Muhammad, Allah Allah Mohammed. Also when entering the masjid and leaving the masjid, you're supposed to send blessings and salutations upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and this has been recorded in the book of Imam Ibn imagine Rahim Allah and others the Prophet sallallahu Sallam his reporter said either file a hydrocarbyl mesquida file you say limahl and Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam while he akula whom have toughly awaba hermetic, so when entering domestic you're supposed to send blessings upon the Prophet Allahumma salli ala Muhammad
Allah Allah Mohammed and then you make the dua Allahumma salli wa Baraka Matic all open your dose of mercy or a lot open your dose of mercy when you're entering the masjid and when leaving the message to you send the blessings and salutations upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and you make Allahu masumi min ash shaytani r Rajim Allah save me from the cursed devil, save me from the sworn enemy the accussed Devil May Allah subhanho wa Taala save us all from Shere Khan. I mean, and then you also supposed to send blessings and salutations upon the Prophet sallallahu Sallam in your as Gary Saba he will matter in your morning and evening as gap you're supposed to send blessings and
salutations upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam the the Hadith has been recorded in the book of human Mantovani Rahim Allah again, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam his report perhaps is the one who sends the blessings and salutations upon me in the morning 10 times and in the evening, 10 times, he will get my intercession on the day of the intercession that I was talking about at the beginning, we will go prophet after prophet if you want the intercession of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, especially for yourself, then you have to send blessings and salutations upon him. Morning tin times, evening. 10 times May Allah help us to do so. I mean, and
then also on Friday.
On Friday, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam his report rep said Hadith has been recorded by emammal by by Houthi Rahim Allah to aware the prompts that is in his report to have said along the lines of these words, send excessive blessings and salutations upon me on Friday for Yeoman Juma on Friday.
For the one who sends blessings
And salutations upon me on Friday. It is presented to the prophets of Allah Allah it is presented to me he went on to say it is presented to me. So whenever you send blessings and salutations upon the prophets, Allah Islam on a Friday, it is presented to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, it is actually taken to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and it is presented to him, so and so has sent blessings and salutations upon you, O Messenger of Allah. Therefore, my dear respected elders and brothers in Islam, as you can see, the virtues are numerous Subhana Allah, the virtues are numerous colossal blessings in this world, as well as the next therefore Try to keep your tongue moist all
