- Benefits of Sending Salawat
Among the notable events that occurred in the month of Rabiul Awwal, is the birth of our beloved Prophet Muhammad s.a.w, a mercy for all creations. As we are in this blessed month, let us take this opportunity to increase our love and remembrance for the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.
Sending Selawat to the Prophet s.a.w is an act of love and respect. Other than abiding by the sunnah of the Prophet s.a.w, this is the ultimate way to extend our gratitude to the beloved s.a.w.
As an Arabic saying goes by:
مَن أَحَبَّ شَيئًا أَكثَرَ ذِكْرُه
“Whoever loves a thing will make its remembrance abundantly.”
Selawat linguistically means “prayer” or “seek the blessing of” in literal terms. Whereas, the essential meaning of it when attributing to the Prophet s.a.w. varies according to some Muslim scholars, such as the verse:
إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ۚ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا
“Allah s.w.t and His angels send Selawat on the Prophet s.a.w: O you who believe! Send your Selawat upon him and salute him with all respect”
(Surah Al Ahzab, 33:56)
Ibn Abbas r.a explains that Selawat in this verse means:
1. Allah and the angels bestow blessings upon the Prophet s.a.w.
2. Allah bestows His mercy upon the Prophet s.a.w. and the angels pray for him.
In a momentous book about the Prophet s.a.w. As-Shifa, Imam Al-Qadhi ‘Iyad quotes Al-Mubarrad, the grammarian scholar, commenting on the verse above “The essence of Selawat is asking for mercy. Hence, it is mercy from Allah, and (when attributed) to angels, it means their affection and an invocation for Allah’s mercy (upon the Prophet s.a.w.)”
The Selawat in Islam isn’t just a rectitude or a mere verbal act. Indeed behind every Selawat uttered, there are hidden blessings and rewards. Muslim scholars have written many books on the rewards, benefits and merits of Selawat. Its benefits are truly great in number to the extent of which, as beautifully described by the scholar, Shaykh Abdullah Sirajuddin Al-Hussayni, “renders the pen helpless to document it all, and turns books confined to compile everything.”[1]
In this article, you will discover 5 benefits of offering the Selawat to Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.
Rewards will be multiplied
مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيَّ صَلاَةً صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ بِهَا عَشْراً
"Whoever sends Selawat upon me once, will be blessed for it by Allah ten times."
(Sahih Muslim)
In this hadith, the Prophet s.a.w highlighted the rewards attained are multiplied when one offers the Selawat. This is a manifestation of Allah’s love for our Prophet Muhammad s.a.w in which, every salutation by His creation made for the beloved, is honoured.
In another narration by Imam An-Nasa’i, the reward exceeds more than receiving tenfold of blessings. It also includes the erasing of sins and elevating one’s status in the sight of Allah s.w.t, as if removing one from darkness into light.
من صلَّى عليَّ صلاةً واحدةً صلَّى اللَّهُ عليهِ عشرَ صلواتٍ، وحُطَّت عنهُ عَشرُ خطيئاتٍ، ورُفِعَت لَهُ عشرُ درجاتٍ
“Whoever sends Selawat upon me once, will be blessed by it tenfold, erased by it ten sins, and raised by it ten degrees in status”
(Sunan An-Nasa’i)
Attain closeness to the Prophet in this world and the hereafter
The power of love is that it reunites hearts and souls physically and spiritually, and to love the Prophet s.a.w is the desire to be close with him spiritually in this world and, by Allah’s will, physically in the hereafter. In a hadith the Prophet s.a.w said:
أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَكْثَرُهُمْ عَلَىَّ صَلاَةً
"The person closest to me on the Day of Resurrection
is the one who sent the most Selawat upon me."
(Sunan At-Tirmizi)
Looking back in time through the history of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w, we can see the innumerable sacrifices the beloved s.a.w had made for us. The fact that Prophet Muhammad s.a.w had placed us before himself evinced his unconditional love for his people.
Although our eyes have never met the beloved s.a.w, the heart yearns to be close to him. Hence, sending the Selawat increases our love for the Prophet s.a.w and through love, our heart connects with the beloved s.a.w.
Frees one from uneasiness and worries
As we live through the obstacles in life, there is always growth and contraction and a fair share of balancing and unbalancing.
The Prophet s.a.w promised that by constant remembrance, one will be freed from worries of worldly affairs.
