عن عائشة قالت قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من سره أن يلقى الله وهو عليه راض فليكثر الصلاة علي (القول البديع، ص 267)
Hazrat Aaishah رضي الله عنها reports that Hazrat Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Whoever wishes to meet Allah Ta’ala while Allah Ta’ala is pleased with him then he should recite abundant Durood upon me.”
The Brilliant Lamp of Nubuwwat
Hazrat Mufti Ebrahim Salejee دامت بركاته mentioned:
Nabi صلي الله عليه وسلم has been likened to a brilliant lamp (siraajam-muneera) in the Quraan instead of a shining sun.
Various reasons have been given. Among them is that a lamp is something that is accessible and which man is familiar with. This was evident in the life of Nabi صلي الله عليه وسلم.
Another reason is that one lamp can light up thousands of other lamps whereas this is not the case with the sun.
Hazrat Mufti Muhammad Shafee’ Saahib رحمه الله explains that the manner in setting alight our lamps through the lamp of Nabi صلي الله عليه وسلم is by emulating the sunnat of Nabi صلي الله عليه وسلم and sending abundant durood upon our beloved Rasul صلي الله عليه.

“O Sustainer, shower Salaat and Salaam forever and ever upon Your beloved, who is the best of all creation.”
جَزَی اللہُ عَنَّا نَبِيَّنَا مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّی اللہُ عَلَیْه وسَلَّمَ بِمَا هُوَ أَھْلُهُ
May Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله reward our Nabi Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم on our behalf such a reward that is due to Him.
