The Prophet replied, “However much you wish.” What portion should I offer salutations upon you?’ Ubayy ibn Kaʿb (may Allah be pleased with him) said “I once told the Messenger of God, (upon whom be peace and blessings of God the Exalted) ‘O Messenger of God, I invoke much (du’a). Your worries / concerns will be lightened and sins forgiven. O’ believers! Invoke Allah’s blessings upon him, and salute him with worthy greetings of peace.” įulfilling this Quranic injunction is imperative, but there are a number of reasons why a believer should avidly send blessings and salutations on the Prophet: 1. “Indeed, Allah showers His blessings upon the Prophet, and His angels pray for him. He also orders His believers to send their blessings and salutations upon the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH.) Allah says: Image Source: Allah’s Explicit Injunction for the UmmahĪllah the Almighty, and the Most High clearly says in the Quran, that He sends blessings upon the Prophet.
