<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br> 1) Invoking Allah’s blessings upon the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) is among the recommended acts of worship to be performed often during the day and eve of Friday.<br> 2) Invoking Allah’s blessings upon the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) brings a great reward. Indeed, we need to invoke Allah’s blessings upon the Prophet, so that we can win Allah’s blessings upon us.<br> <br> <b>Benefit:</b><br> 1) When the believers invoke Allah’s blessings upon the Prophet, this means that they supplicate Allah to praise him among the highest company of angels, who are close to Him.<br> 2) When a person wants to invoke Allah’s blessings upon the Prophet, he should choose one of the wordings occurring in the Qur’an or the Sunnah. These are good and sufficient. It is not permissible for him to use one of the wordings contrived by people which sometime have inappropriate meanings.<br> Indeed, all goodness lies in following the righteous predecessors; and all evil lies in the religious innovations introduced by those who came later.
