“The closest people to me on the Day of Resurrection will be those who invoked the most blessings upon me.” [Hadīth, recorded by Tirmidhi] And who from amongst you would not want to be in the company of the Beloved of the Lord, who has been given the authority when no other authority will exist to intercede for us, let alone be closest to him! “Verily, your best day is Friday, so invoke blessings upon me in abundance on this day, for your invocation is presented to me.’ They said, ‘O Messenger of God! How can our invocations be presented to you after your bones have turned to dust? He replied ‘Verily, God has forbidden the earth from consuming the bodies of the Messengers.” [Hadīth, recorded by ibn Majah and others] To this profound reality of the blessed beloved Prophet of God (upon whom be peace and blessings of God The Exalted), it is incumbent to quote from the Divine Speech of God, The Exalted, related to the Prophetic narration above: There has without any doubt come to you a Messenger from among yourselves. Grievously serious to him is what you suffer; he is concerned over you, and to the believers he is kind and merciful. [Qur’an 9:128] The relevant point to note here is that the Prophet’s concern is continuous and was not limited to a particular time or people, but to all who are from his community til the end of time! There is no question or ambiguity regarding this fact: the Prophet’s concern and care for us remains til the end of time and into the Hereafter. Seek every gathering and every moment of your voluntary and free time and send salutation upon the one whom God does not reject!
