The Virtue of Reading Salawat on Friday | The Explanation You're Looking For

The Virtue of Reading Salawat on Friday ~ Hi readers! In several previous articles, I have explained many things about Salawat, such as why reading Salawat is important, erasing sins by reading Salawat, and the virtue of writing Salawat in a book. In this article, I will explain the virtues of reading Salawat on Friday. The point is, that a Muslim will benefit enormously if he reads the Salawat on Friday. As Muslims, we must know that. That’s the reason I wrote this article.

Before I explain more about the virtues of reading Salawat on Friday, I would like to say that we can find an explanation of it all in various hadiths. But, of course, I will not quote all the hadiths that describe it. In this article, I will only quote three hadiths.

Hadith on the Virtue of Reading Salawat on Friday

The three hadiths that I mean about the virtues of reading Salawat on Friday are as follows;

قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيَّ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ لَمْ يَمُتْ حَتَّى يَرَى مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ

The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, “Whoever reads Salawat to me on Friday a thousand times, he will not die until he sees his place in Heaven.”

عَنْ أَبِيْ ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيَّ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ غُفِرَتْ لَهُ ذُنُوْبُ مِائَتَى عَامٍ

From Abu Dzarr radliyallahu anhu, he said, “The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, “Whoever reads Salawat to me on Friday, all his sins which he has committed for two hundred years will be forgiven.”

عَنْ أَبِيْ هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : الصَّلَاةُ عَلَيَّ نُوْرٌ عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ , مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيَّ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ ثَمَانِيْنَ مَرَّةٍ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُ ذُنُوْبَ ثَمَانِيْنَ سَنَةٍ

From Abu Hurairah radliyallahu anhu, he said, “The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, “Reading Salawat to me is the light above the Shirath (bridge to Heaven). Whoever reads Salawat to me on Friday eighty times, Allah will forgive all his sins which he has committed for eighty years. “

Conclusion

Readers all! If we understand the three hadiths above, then at least we can conclude several things as follows;

• Reading Salawat is a ritual to wash away sins according to Islam.
• Conditions in Shirath (the bridge to Heaven according to Islam) are very dark and Salawat can be a light to illuminate it.
• We are strongly encouraged to recite Salawat on Friday because it can erase all our sins over the years, as explained in the three hadiths above.

Readers all! That is a brief explanation of the virtues of reading Salawat on Friday. Do you understand? If you have any questions, please ask!

I think that’s all for this article. May be useful. Amen!
