Believers are commanded by Allah the Almighty to love and honor Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) by adhering to the Sunnah he brought forth.
One of the ways to express this love and devotion is through the increased recitation of Selawat, Imams highlighted in the Friday sermon.
Reciting Selawat is a noble act that brings great rewards from Allah the Almighty. It is a supplication exalting the Prophet’s greatness, asking that he may continuously receive abundant blessings from Allah the Almighty.
The Imams also urged the Muslim Ummah to recite Salawat with sincere intentions, not merely for personal gain or advantage.
Whenever the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is mentioned, believers should recite Selawat upon him. The most complete and perfect form is the Selawat Ibrahimiah, which is regularly recited during prayers. – AZLAN OTHMAN
