Day 27 — Increase Ṣalawāt Upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

Sending blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ illuminates hearts and strengthens our connection to Allah.

Daily Morning Devotion with Imam Onike — Day 27: Increase Ṣalawāt upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
“Whoever sends salah upon me once, Allah (SWT) will send salah upon him tenfold, will erase ten sins from him, and will raise him ten degrees in status.”
— Hadith, narrated by Anas bin Mālik
Devotion

A Threefold Reflection

From insight, to imagery, to supplication.

Reflection

If someone constantly mentioned your name with praise and affection, you would feel honored. How often do we honour the one whom Allah Himself and His angels bless?

“Indeed, Allah and His angels send blessings upon the Prophet. O you who believe, send blessings and abundant salutations upon him.”Qur'an 33:56

Metaphor — The Lamp & Its Power Source

A lamp shines brightly only when connected to its source of power. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is the greatest guide Allah sent to humanity. The more a believer connects with him through love, remembrance, and Ṣalawāt, the more light enters his heart and life.

Lesson: Ṣalawāt strengthens our connection to the Prophet ﷺ and illuminates our path to Allah.

Prayer

“O Allah, send abundant blessings, peace, and mercy upon our master Muhammad ﷺ, his family, his companions, and all those who follow his guidance until the Day of Judgment. O Allah, make our hearts filled with love for him and make us among those who frequently send Ṣalawāt upon him.” Aamiin.
Muḥāsabah

Self-Examination

The scholars mention that abundant Ṣalawāt is among the means of relieving worries, increasing blessings, and drawing closer to Allah.

Ask yourself honestly

  1. 1

    When I face difficulties, do I increase my Ṣalawāt?

  2. 2

    How often do I honour the one whom Allah Himself and His angels bless?
