Secret of Earning More Reward (Sawāb)

·         If possible and if I feel the sincerity in my heart, then acting upon the command of a adīš, I will cry whilst listening to the recitation, and if it is not possible then I will make my face look as though I am crying.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب        صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

45. Intentions for reciting alāt-Alan-Nabī

·         I will recite alāt-‘Alan-Nabī with the intention of obeying Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

·         If possible I will recite alāt-‘Alan-Nabī with my head lowered and eyes closed, imagining the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

46. Intentions for reciting Na’at

·         In order to please Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Beloved Prophet   صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, I will recite and listen to Na’at in the state of Wuū as long as possible with my eyes closed, head lowered, imagining the Gumbad-e-Khazrā and the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

·         If I happen to cry and feel as if I am showing off then instead of giving it up, I will try to protect myself from Riyā [ostentation]. C If I see someone crying bitterly I will not form an ill opinion of him.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب        صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
