In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Ever Merciful

THE HOLY QUR‟AN

Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet. O ye who believe! you also

should invoke blessings on him and salute him with the salutation of peace.

(Chapter 33 - Al-Ahzab Verse 57)

HADITH

Narrated Abū Hurayrahra

: The Holy Prophetsa

said: If any one of you greets me,

Allah returns my soul to me and I respond to the greeting (means that a person

greeting the Holy Prophetsa

shall receive its reward as if the Holy Prophetsa

is

himself responding to that greeting). (Sunan Abū Daūd Kitabul Manāsik)

WRITINGS OF THE PROMISED MESSIAHAS

"It is my personal experience that through invoking blessings upon the Holy

Prophetsa

, Divine grace in the shape of wonderful light proceeds in the direction

of the Holy Prophetsa

and is absorbed into his breast and then issuing therefrom

numberless streams of it reach everyone deserving them according to his capac-

ity. Certainly, no grace can reach anyone without the agency of the Holy

Prophetsa

. Invoking blessings on the Holy Prophetsa

brings into movement his

throne from which these streams of light issue. He who desires to obtain the

grace of God Almighty should invoke blessings on him persistently, so that divine

grace might be moved." [al-Hakam, 28 Feb. 1903, p. 7]
