As Muslims, let us always sing prayers to the Prophet Muhammad SAW and give thanks to Allah SWT, with the hope that goodness and blessings will always accompany our steps. Amen.
Ali said: "Between every prayer and Allah there is a hijab until shalawat is said for the Prophet SAW. When shalawat is said, the hijab is opened and the prayer is granted, if shalawat is not said for him, then his prayer is not answered." (HR: Al-Hasa bin Arafah).
The Prophet SAW said: "The person closest to me on the Day of Judgment will be the one who says the most prayers for me." (HR: Bukhori, Tirmidhi, Ibnu Hibban and Ibnu Mas'ud).
