Salat and Salam (MO)

Description

Muhammad (May Allah bless him and give him peace) was the last messenger to be sent to humanity. It is through the Glorious Qur’an coupled with his beautiful character that humanity is granted eternal success.

As such, salat and salam is an integral part of Islam. Ubayy ibn Ka’b (May Allah be pleased with him) said: “When a third of the night had passed, the Messenger of Allah (May Allah bless him and give him peace) stood up and said: ‘O people! Remember Allah! Remember Allah! The Rajifah (i.e. the first trumpet blast) is coming, followed by the Radifah (i.e. the second trumpet blast), death and what it brings is coming, death and what it brings is coming!’ Ubayy said: ‘I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Verily I read much salat on you. How much of my salat should I do for you?’ He said: ‘As you wish.’ (He said) ‘I said: ‘A fourth?’ He said: ‘As you wish. But if you add more it would be better for you.’ I said: ‘Then half?’ He said: ‘As you wish. And if you add more it would be better for you.’ (He said) ‘I said: ‘Then two-thirds?’ He said: ‘As you wish, but if you add more it would be better for you.’ I said: ‘Should I make all of my salat for you?’ He said: ‘Then your problems would be solved, and your sins forgiven.’” (al-Tirmidhi)

The line of Imam al-Busiri’s Qasidat al-Burdah reads: “Muhammad is the master of both worlds, both kinds (of jinn and humankind), and both companies: Arabs and non-Arabs.”
