PRACTING OF SELAWAT

Practicing selawat 1,000 times a day is encouraged in Islam as a sign of love for the Prophet SAW. However, specific hadiths promising a guarantee of seeing paradise before death for this exact number are judged as munkar (denounced) or very weak by scholars. Hadith Status and Ruling: The Claim: There is a statement saying anyone who recites selawat 1,000 times a day will not die until they are given glad tidings of paradise. The Ruling: According to the Federal Territory Mufti's Office, the chain of transmission (sanad) for this specific narration is very weak (daif jiddan). We cannot attribute this text with certainty as the direct words of the Prophet SAW. General Virtues of Selawat: Even though the specific number of 1,000 times has no authentic text attached to it, increasing selawat in general brings great rewards: Receiving Mercy: Every single selawat is rewarded with 10 blessings and mercies from Allah SWT. Inner Peace: Zikir (remembrance of God) and selawat build reliance on Allah SWT and clear the mind. The Prophet's Intercession: It serves as a means to receive the Prophet’s intercession in the hereafter. Writer's Personal Experience: The author suffered from panic disorder for more than 10 years and had to rely on tranquilizers to manage it. One day, an ustaz (religious teacher) advised them to practice reciting selawat at least 1,000 times a day.After practicing this consistently, the frequency of the panic attacks decreased. Alhamdulillah (praise be to Allah). Credit: #AI #MuftiWilayah #fypppppp
