Lesson Introduction:
Allah tells us in the Quran that He and the angels send
blessings on Prophet Muhammad (saw) 33:56
Allah asks us to send blessings on the Prophet (saw) as well by
reciting salawat.
Allah tells us that when we send salawat upon the Prophet,
Allah will reward us with extra blessings!
Salawat is like a prayer. By saying salawat when the Prophet's name is mentioned, we pray for the Prophet. We ask Allah to let His special kindness and blessings always be with the Prophet and his family. We wouldn't ever be able to choose the Prophet a gift special enough to give him so we ask Allah to give this gift to the Prophet from us!

Reciting salawat every time we hear or read the Prophet's name is showing our love for the Prophet and thanking him for all the difficulties he went through when he brought Islam to the world. Reciting helps us to remember what a great man the Prophet was and Allah even blesses us for reciting salawat too!
