Q & A

What is the importance of reciting selawat on Fridays?

Reciting selawat on Fridays is significant because it is witnessed by the angels, as mentioned in a narration from Abu Darda. The Prophet Muhammad emphasized this practice, stating that whenever someone recites selawat upon him on Fridays, it is delivered to him directly by the angels.

What is the correct way to recite selawat according to the script?

The correct way to recite selawat, as taught by the Prophet, is: 'Allahumma sholli ala Muhammad wa ala ali Muhammad kama shitta ala Ibrahim wa ala ali Ibrahim.' This form of selawat is considered authentic and is directly based on the Prophet's guidance, without any alterations or additions.

Why do the companions of the Prophet ask about how to say selawat?

The companions, despite knowing how to speak beautifully, humbly asked the Prophet for guidance on how to recite selawat because they wanted to ensure that they were following the correct form of worship. They were always eager to ask for proper guidance in their religious practices.

What is the significance of reading hadith in relation to reciting selawat?

Reading hadith is directly linked to reciting selawat because every time the Prophet's sayings are mentioned, it is an opportunity to send blessings upon him. The act of reading hadith automatically involves reciting selawat.

How does one practice reciting selawat outside of prayers?

Outside of prayer, one can practice reciting selawat by frequently reading hadith books such as 'Muljam Maram,' 'Riyadus Shihin,' 'Arbain,' or 'Sahih Bukhari.' Each time the Prophet’s name is mentioned, it is encouraged to recite selawat. Another way is through the form of prayer taught by the Prophet.

What does the phrase 'selawat from Allah' mean?

The phrase 'selawat from Allah' refers to Allah's mercy and forgiveness bestowed upon the Prophet. It is not Allah reciting the phrase 'Allahumma sholli ala Muhammad,' but rather His blessings, mercy, and forgiveness directed toward the Prophet Muhammad.

What role do the angels play in the act of selawat?

The angels are said to send blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad when the believers recite selawat. The angels pray to Allah for mercy and forgiveness for the Prophet, thus reinforcing the act of reciting selawat as a means of invoking divine blessings.

How does one correct their behavior during adhan (call to prayer)?

During the adhan, it is important not to engage in conversation or distract oneself. Instead, after hearing the adhan, one should focus on the supplication and ask Allah to grant the Prophet Muhammad the wasilah (intercession) and the highest station in Paradise.

What happens if someone recites the supplication after the adhan?

If someone recites the supplication after the adhan, specifically the prayer for the Prophet Muhammad, they are promised intercession (syafaat) on the Day of Judgment. This act of prayer is recommended by the Prophet for those who desire his intercession.

What should one do when the Prophet's sayings are mentioned during a lecture or sermon?

When the Prophet's sayings are mentioned during a lecture or sermon, it is recommended to recite selawat, such as saying 'Sallallahu alaihi wasallam.' This is a form of respect and a way to send blessings upon the Prophet every time his name is invoked.
