Hadith Session 2

Ramzan Shahid

Commands Allah (SWT) has commanded mankind to

perform various actsPrayerFastingZakatHajj

Commands

Allah (SWT) Himself does not do any of these acts/commandsHe does not prayHe does not fastHe does not need to do of these – He is Allah

(SWT), the Creator of everything

Command

However, there is one act that He tells mankind to do that He Himself also does.

Can you imagine how important that act must be if Allah Himself does it.

Command

In fact, before Allah (SWT) commands mankind to this act, Allah (SWT) says he does it first and then tells mankind to do it.

Not only does Allah (SWT) do this act, but all the angels to it as well.

Command

So Allah (SWT) says He does this act, His angels do this act, then He commands the believers to do this act.

What is this act?

Surah Ahzab (33), Ayat 56

Verily Allah and His angels send salaam and blessings on the Prophet (SAW); O People who Believe! You too should send blessings and abundant salutations (salaam) upon him.

Why send Salaam on the Prophet (SAW)

To show respect for Him To show that we are thankful for all that

He did for Islam It is because of Him that you and I are

Muslim 1400 years later

Why send Salaam on the Prophet (SAW)

On the Day of Judgment He will look for all the people in His Ummah and help them get into Heaven

He will act as an intercessor for us He will not enter Heaven until all of His

Ummah as entered Heaven He will allow us to drink from His blessed

hands the water from River Kawther

Sending Salaam

We do it 5 times a day in our prayer already be reciting Darood-e-Ibrahim

Darood-e-Ibrahim

Allahumma! Send blessings upon (Holy Prophet) Muhammad and upon the followers of (Holy Prophet) Muhammad as You sent blessings upon Ibraheem and upon the followers of Ibraheem; indeed, You are praiseworthy and glorious. Allahumma! Bless (Holy Prophet) Muhammad and the followers of (Holy Prophet) Muhammad as You blessed Ibraheem and the follower of Ibraheem; indeed, You are praise worthy and glorious.

Sending Salaam

Should send Salaam/recite Darood more often

Must say whenever we hear the name of the Prophet (SAW)

Hadith

The Prophet (SAW) was climbing the member and took one step and then said “Ameen”. He took a second step and said “Ameen”. He took a third step and said “Ameen”. The companions asked him why he said Ameen three times.

Hadith

The Prophet (SAW) said: “Angel Jibraeel came to me and made a dua to curse 3 types of people and I said Ameen after each one.”

Anyone cursed in this way will mean certain destruction on the Day of Judgment

Hadith

Angel Jibraeel said: Curse be upon that person who sees the month of Ramadan and does not attain forgiveness in that month. And I said “Ameen”.

Hadith

Angel Jibraeel said: Curse be upon that person who finds their parents in an old age and does not attain Heaven by serving them. And I said “Ameen”.

Hadith

Angel Jibraeel said: Curse be upon that person who hears my name and does not say And I said “Ameen”.

Hadith

Look at who is making this dua – Angel Jibraeel

Look at who is saying Ameen after the dua – Prophet Muhammad (SAW)

Don’t you think this will be answered

Hadith

Prophet Muhammad (SAW) never cursed anyone

He even forgave the people of Taif But these 3 types of people he did curse

Hadith

We must make sure that we are not one of these cursed people on the Day of JudgmentTake full advantage of RamadanTake care of our parentsSay when hearing the Prophet’s

name
