Allah has ordered us in Quran e pak..
اِنَّ اللّٰهَ وَ مَلٰٓىٕكَتَهٗ یُصَلُّوْنَ عَلَى النَّبِیِّؕ-یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا صَلُّوْا عَلَیْهِ وَ سَلِّمُوْا تَسْلِیْمًا
indeed Allah and His angels send blessings upon the Prophet. O believers! Send blessings and peace upon them.
Sending blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is a common practice in Islam for several important reasons: Religious Obligation: It is considered a religious obligation and a form of worship in Islam. Muslims are encouraged to send blessings upon the Prophet in their daily prayers (Salat) and at various other times, such as when mentioning his name or upon hearing the call to prayer (Adhan). Following a Divine Command: In the Quran, Allah instructs believers to send blessings upon the Prophet. For example, in Surah Al-Ahzab (33:56), it is stated: “Indeed, Allah and His angels send blessings upon the Prophet. O you who have believed, ask [ Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [ Allah to grant him] peace.”Expressing Love and Respect: Sending blessings upon the Prophet is a way for Muslims to express their love, respect, and devotion to him. He is considered the final messenger and the best example for humanity, and this practice is a way of showing gratitude for his guidance. Seeking Intercession: Some Muslims believe that by sending blessings upon the Prophet, they are seeking his intercession on the Day of Judgment. They hope that this act will help them attain his companionship in the Hereafter. Cultivating Humility: Engaging in this practice reminds Muslims of their own humility and the greatness of the Prophet. It serves as a reminder of their faith and reinforces their connection to their religious heritage. In summary, sending blessings upon the Prophet is a significant aspect of Islamic tradition and worship. It is done to fulfill a religious obligation, express love and respect, and seek Allah’s blessings and intercession through the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
