In Episode #12, our respected Imam Omar Suleiman relates to us the task of the angel when a servant of Allah makes du’a for our beloved and honoured prophet s.a.w..

If a servant sends salawat (peace and blessings) upon the prophet s.a.w., Allah sends ten times of that peace and blessings on them and Jibril responds to our salawat with salams onto us.  And as if that’s isn’t enough, Allah will add ten good deeds to us, will forgive ten of our sins and raise us by ten stations.

The prophet s.a.w said there are angels whose function is to look for people who send salawat onto the prophet s.a.w. and these angels convey that salawat to the prophet s.a.w. and  every single time we do that not only does Allah and the angels pray on us but the prophet s.a.w. will thereupon respond to that salawat by our name.

However, this gives rise to the question : do you need to be in Madinah or Makkah for your salawat to reach the prophet s.aw.? The answer to this question can be found towards the end of this Imam’s five minute informative discourse with us.
