Believers should make sending salawat upon Prophet Muhammad a regular act of worship, especially on Fridays, because Allah commands it and it brings spiritual rewards.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Introduces salawat as a unique act of worship that Allah and the angels also perform.
  2. Explains Surah al-Ahzab 33:56, including its emphasis and continuous tense.
  3. Defines salat upon the Prophet as Allah’s praise, mercy, and blessings, and explains Salat Ibrahimiyyah.
  4. Presents different forms of salawat and encourages frequent daily recitation.
  5. Describes rewards including forgiveness, answered concerns, elevated ranks, and closeness to the Prophet on Judgment Day.
  6. Urges abundant Friday recitation and responding whenever the Prophet’s name is mentioned.
Try this week
Set aside a dedicated daily period for dhikr, du'a, and salawat.
Recite the longer Salat Ibrahimiyyah five or ten times, then use shorter forms as needed.
Recite salawat abundantly on Fridays; the speaker cited 300 as a minimum while emphasizing there is no fixed maximum.
Say salawat whenever the Prophet’s name is mentioned; during the khutbah, say it silently in the heart.
