O Allah, shower your special mercy upon Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and upon the people of his household as You showered mercy upon Hadhrat Ebrahim (Alayhis Salaam). Indeed You are praiseworthy and most glorious. O Allah, shower Your mercy upon us together with them. O Allah, shower Your blessings upon Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and the people of his household in the manner You showered Your blessings upon Hadhrat Ebrahim (Alayhis Salaam) . Indeed You are praiseworthy and most glorious. O Allah, shower Your blessings upon us together with them.

You Will be with Whom you Love

A Sahaabi once came to Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and asked: “O Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) when is the Day of Qiyaamah?” Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) replied: “What preparations have you made for that Day?” The Sahaabi said: “O Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), I do not claim to have much Salaah, fasts and Sadaqah to my credit, but I do have the love of Allah Ta’ala and His Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) in my heart.” Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) then said: “Surely on the Day of Qiyaamah, you will be with whom you love.”

Anas (Radhiyallaho anho) says: “Nothing made the Sahaabah happier than these words of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam).” (Fazaail Aamaal)

يَا رَبِّ صَلِّ وَ سَلِّمْ دَائِمًا أَبَدًا عَلَى حَبِيبِكَ خَيرِ الخَلْقِ كُلِّهِمِ
