Send salawat when the Prophet ﷺ is mentioned
- The practice
- Whenever you hear, read or say the Prophet's name, say 'Sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam.'
- When
- When the Prophet ﷺ is mentioned
- In daily life
- His name ﷺ comes up more often than you'd think: in the Friday khutbah, a lesson, a podcast, a message in the family group. Let the reply come by itself, even if only softly, and add ﷺ when you type his name.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " رَغِمَ أَنْفُ رَجُلٍ ذُكِرْتُ عِنْدَهُ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَىَّ وَرَغِمَ أَنْفُ رَجُلٍ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَمَضَانُ ثُمَّ انْسَلَخَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُغْفَرَ لَهُ وَرَغِمَ أَنْفُ رَجُلٍ أَدْرَكَ عِنْدَهُ أَبَوَاهُ الْكِبَرَ فَلَمْ يُدْخِلاَهُ الْجَنَّةَ " .
“Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:“May the man before whom I am mentioned - and he does not send Salat upon me - be humiliated. And may a man upon whom Ramadan enters and then passes, before he is forgiven, be humiliated. And may a man whose parents reached old age in his presence, and they were not a cause for his entrance to Paradise, be humiliated.””Narrated by Abu HurairahJami at-Tirmidhi 3545 (hasan sahih, al-Albani)
