إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا(33:56)
"Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet: O ye that believe! Send ye blessings on him, and salute him with all respect (Al Quran: 33-56)"
ALLAHUMMA BARIK ALA MUHAMMAD WA ALA AALI MUHAMMAD KAMA BARAKTA ALA IBRAHEEMA WA ALA AALI IBRAHEEMA INNAKA HAMEEDUN MAJEED"
The Great scholar Sheikh ibn al-Qayyim wrote in his books, there are thirty nine benefits of Salawat
1. Responding to the order of Allah, Exalted and Magnificent.
2. Following the lead of Allah, Exalted and Magnificent in the sending of blessings upon His Messenger (may Allah bless him and give him peace), although the blessings (Salawat) differ, being from us supplication and request, and being from Allah exaltation and ennoblement.
3. Following the Angels in invocation of the Messenger (may Allah bless him and give him peace), also.
4. The attainment of ten blessings from Allah for the one who invokes one blessing upon His Messenger (may Allah bless him and give him peace).
5. He who sends blessing upon the Prophet (may Allah bless him and give him peace), Allah raises him by ten degrees.
6. He also has written for him ten good deeds.
7. He also has erased from his record ten bad deeds.
8. The invocation increases the chance of one's supplication being answered if it follows the supplication, as the invocation of blessings upon the Prophet (may Allah bless him and give him peace) lifts those supplications up to the Lord of the Worlds which were stalled between the heavens and the earth.
9. It is a means to receive the intercession of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and give him peace), whether or not a specific intercession is sought.
10. It is a means to have one's sins forgiven.
11. It is a means for Allah to satisfy his bondman’s worldly needs.
12. It is a means to draw neat to Prophet (May Allah bless him and give him peace) on the Day of Resurrection.
13. It compensates for giving charity for those who are too poor to give it.
14. It is a means of fulfilling one's needs (Qada’ al-Hawa’ij)
15. It is a means to receive the Prophet's (may Allah bless him and give him peace)
blessings, and the Angels likewise.
16. It is a means of purification for he who invokes it.
17. For one who sends blessings on him (may Allah bless him and give him peace) it is glad
tidings in his life that he has been granted his place in Paradise as is mentioned by Al-
Hafiz Abu Musa in his book on the matter, for which he brought Hadith as evidence.
18. It is a means of salvation from the horrors of the Day of Resurrection, as also
mentioned by Abu Musa with evidence.
19. It is a means for the Prophet (may Allah bless him and give him peace) to return the blessings and greeting upon he who invokes it.
20. It is a means of ennobling a meeting or gathering and a means to prevent any ill talk or conduct occurring therein, so that it will not return upon its participants as a hardship on the Day of Resurrection.
21. It is a means to remember something which has been forgotten.
22. It is a safeguard against poverty.
23. It saves one from being branded a miser if one were to omit it upon the Prophet’s name (may Allah bless him and give him peace) being mentioned.
24. It saves one from being cursed and disgraced because the one who omits the blessings
and prayers upon hearing the Prophet's name (may Allah bless him and give him peace)
risks receiving Allah's anger.
25. It keeps the one who invokes it steadfast upon the path to Paradise, and keeps he who neglects it from traveling the path.
26. It safeguards a meeting from turning ill; a meeting without the mention of Allah Exalted and His Messenger (may Allah bless him and give him peace), and without the praise and glorification of Allah and the invocation of blessings on His Messenger (may Allah bless him and give him peace) has no blessing nor benefit.
27. It is a cause for the perfection of any speech which begins with the praise of Allah the Exalted and the blessings of His Messenger (may Allah bless him and give him peace).
28. It is a cause for the bondman to find light cast in abundance in his life to guide him on the Straight Path.
29. It refines the worshipper's character and manners.
30. It is a means for Allah to preserve those in the heavens and the earth praising and commending he who invokes it.
31. It is a means of the worshipper to obtain blessing for himself in his work, life and
provision.
32. It is a means of obtaining the mercy of Allah.
33. It sustains, increases and multiplies love for the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless
him and give him peace), which is among the core bases of Faith, without which faith
cannot be complete.
34. It earns the Prophet’s (may Allah bless him and give him peace) love for the bondsman.
35. It is a means of the worshipper’s guidance, and a source of vitality for his heart.
36. It causes the worshipper’s name to be shown to the Prophet, and the mention of the worshipper to him (may Allah bless him and give him peace).
37. It is a means for the worshipper to find ease upon crossing the pass over the Hellfire.
38. Invoking blessing and peace upon the Prophet (may Allah bless him and give him peace)
is an infinitesimal recompense of his right upon us, and of the thanks which we owe for
the grace which Allah has bestowed upon us by sending him (may Allah bless him and
give him peace), although what he truly deserves is innumerable, either for us to
comprehend or to bestow, or even to will. However Allah, because of His Boundless
Generosity, is pleased with his bondsmen even with the small amount of thanks they can
offer.
39. Invoking blessing and peace upon the Prophet (may Allah bless him and give him
peace) in itself contains remembrance of Allah the Exalted, and is an expression of thanks to Him and a recognition of His immense favour upon His bondsmen by sending him (may Allah bless him and give him peace).
