Benefits and Why You Should Recite The Salawat
According to hadiths, there are 5 main benefits of reciting the Salawat:
- By reciting the salawat or the prayer once, Inshallah that Allah will record your benevolence and goodwill by rewarding you with ten good deeds in return on your record (HR. Ahmad).
- Reciting the salawat once, Allah will bless him with ten blessings and remove from him ten sins (HR. Ahmad).
- By doing so, Allah will bless him with ten blessings, remove from him ten sins and raise his rank by ten degrees (HR. An Nasa'i).
- Reciting the salawat will gain you the Prophet's intercession and blessing. The person most entitled to the Prophet's intercession on the Day of Resurrection is the one who prays and recite the salawat for the Prophet the most (HR. Tirmidzi)
- Finally, reciting the salawat will bring you closer to the Prophet, especially if recited during Fridays. As it is also historically shown that the prayers for the Prophet's people are shown to him every Friday. Whoever prays the most, then he is the person who is closest in position to the Prophet.
