This is Salawat al-Munjiyat. The Prayer of Deliverance. اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَاةً تُنْجِينَا بِهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْأَهْوَالِ وَالْآفَاتِ ❁ وَتَقْضِى لَنَا بِهَا جَمِيعَ الْحَاجَاتِ ❁ وَتُطَهِّرُنَا بِهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ السَّيِّئَاتِ ❁ وَتَرْفَعُنَا بِهَا عِنْدَكَ أَعْلَى الدَّرَجَاتِ ❁ وَتُبَلِّغُنَا بِهَا أَقْصَى الْغَايَاتِ ❁ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْخَيْرَاتِ ❁ فِي الْحَيَاةِ وَبَعْدَ الْمَمَاتِ ❁ Allāhumma ṣalli ʿalā sayyidinā Muḥammadin ṣalātan tunjīnā bihā min jamīʿi l-ahwāli wa-l-āfāti, wa-taqḍī lanā bihā jamīʿi l-ḥājāti, wa-tuṭahhirunā bihā min jamīʿi s-sayyi’āti, wa-tarfaʿunā bihā ʿindaka aʿlā d-darajāti, wa-tuballighunā bihā aqṣā l-ghāyāti, min jamīʿi l-khayrāti, fī l-ḥayāti wa-baʿda l-mamāt. O Allah, send prayers upon our master Muhammad, a prayer through which You deliver us from all terrors and tribulations, and through which You fulfil for us every need, and through which You purify us from every sin, and through which You raise us to the highest ranks in Your presence, and through which You enable us to attain the furthest goals of every good, in this life and after death. Shaykh Musa al-Darir was aboard a ship when a violent storm struck. It was so fierce it was called "the Capsizer." In his sleep, the Prophet ﷺ appeared to him and said: "Tell the passengers to recite this prayer 1000 times." By the time they reached 300, the storm was gone. This salawat was passed down through Shaykh Musa al-Darir, and later included by Imam al-Jazuli in Dala'il al-Khayrat. It's one of the most beloved collections of salawat in the world. Scholars across centuries have guarded its deeper secrets, saying some gifts are only for those ready to receive them. Shaykh Hasan ibn Ali al-Aswani wrote: "Whoever recites this prayer 1000 times during a time of hardship, Allah Almighty will deliver him from it and enable him to attain his wishes." Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi said: "It is among the treasures of the Divine Throne." When to recite it: 💠 Facing hardship or danger → 300 times 💠 Seeking lawful provision → 500 times 💠 During difficulty or unexpected trial → 1000 times 💠 For any need, this world or the next → 1000 times at night Every group finds the number that opens the door for them. All of them have witnessed its blessings. One salawat. Every terror, every need, every sin, every rank... just recite. Begin today. Join our monthly Dala'il Khayrat gathering to recite and experience its blessings together. Allahumma salli 'ala Sayyidina Muhammad.

🌙 Rabi’ul Awwal is here. The month our beloved Prophet ﷺ was born. The month mercy took a human form. Here's how to make the most of it: 📖 Learn his story: pick up a Sirah book, attend a class. You cannot love who you do not know. 🤲 Increase your salawat: in the car, after salah, before sleep. Let your tongue find him throughout the day. ✨ Attend a gathering: a mawlid, a Dala’il al-Khayrat session. Let yourself be moved. 🌿 Revive a sunnah: smile more. Eat with gratitude. Lower your voice. The small acts count. "A person will be with those whom he loves." — al-Bukhari & Muslim This month, choose who you want to be with. 💚

How did the Prophet ﷺ show his mercy with his companions? He didn't just ask them to be 'patient'. He wept with them. This is the mercy of our Prophet ﷺ. When the Prophet ﷺ saw any of his Companions in difficulty or misfortune, he was overcome with grief and compassion. He wept on their behalf. This wasn't sympathy from a distance, but rather a love so strong it made his blessed heart weep. He visited his companions: Sa'd ibn 'Ubada with 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf and others. When he saw Sa'd's condition, he began to weep. Naturally, everyone around him wept with him. His grief was contagious because it was real. When 'Uthman ibn Maz'un lay dying, the Prophet ﷺ leaned down and kissed him. Sayyidatina 'A'isha (ra) later described what she witnessed: "I saw the Prophet's ﷺ tears run down 'Uthman's cheek." Another narration says he kissed him between the eyes, and then wept a long while. This was neither a moment of courtesy nor a ritual of farewell. It was just pure, uncalculated love. This is who our Prophet ﷺ was. A man whose mercy extended to sitting beside the suffering, and letting his tears fall. "And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds." — Surah Al-Anbiya, 21:107"

5 Sirah Stories to Share with Your Child The Prophet ﷺ loves children so much, it showed in everything he did. Once, the Prophet ﷺ was leading prayer and planned to make it long. Then he heard a baby crying. So he made it short because he knew how worried a mother's heart would be. [Al-Bukhari & Muslim] The Prophet ﷺ kissed his grandsons Sayyidina al-Hasan and Sayyidina al-Husayn (ra) openly, in front of everyone. A man once said: ""I have children, and I have never kissed them!"" The Prophet ﷺ looked at him and said: ""Those who show no mercy will be shown no mercy."" [Al-Bukhari & Muslim] A kiss is not small, but mercy made visible. Al-Barra' (ra) saw the Prophet ﷺ carrying Sayyidina al-Hasan (ra) on his shoulder. He ﷺ said: "O Allah, I love him, so love him!" [Al-Bukhari, Muslim, At-Tirmidhi] He didn't just love his grandchildren quietly. He made du'a for them out loud. The Prophet ﷺ used to say to Sayyidatina Fatimah (ra): "Call my sons to me!" When Sayyidina Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn (ra) came, he would open his arms and embrace them. [At-Tirmidhi] He always made time for them. Always. When the first fruits of the harvest were brought to him, the Prophet ﷺ would place them on his eyes, then on his lips, and make du'a: "O Allah, as You have shown us the first of it, show us the last of it!" Then, he would give the fruits to the children who were there. [Al-Tabarani] They got the best first. This is the Prophet ﷺ who loved you before you even knew his name. Want to know him more? Let your child join our Sirah Camp, where his story comes alive for your child. https://simplyislam.sg/sirah-retreat/

Before he was a Prophet, he was known as Al-Amin. The Trustworthy One. He served everyone around him. Long before revelation came, the people of Makkah trusted Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Not just his family and closest companions. Everyone. He was honest in his dealings and reliable in his word. He was a man his whole community could count on. Being a good citizen isn't separate from our faith. It is part of faith. The Prophet ﷺ taught us that our character should be felt by everyone we live alongside. That means our neighbours, colleagues, and even strangers. As Singapore turns another year older, we are reminded that the Muslim community has always had a role to play here. Not despite our faith, but because of it. Show up with integrity. Be the neighbour they can count on. Be the colleague who is trusted. This is the Sunnah of Al-Amin ﷺ lived out, right here, in this land. As we approach our beloved national day, let us take pride in and be grateful for this land we call home. Happy National Day, Singapore. 🇸🇬

Everything you do today can count as worship. By doing this one secret action. The very first hadith in Imam al-Nawawi's collection begins with intention. "Actions are but by intentions, and every person will have only what they intended." — Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Sahih al-Bukhari & Sahih Muslim) It wasn't placed first by accident. Intention is the foundation of everything you do in life. Think about the last meal you prepared. The last errand you ran. The last message you sent. Were you present or were you just going through the motions? The same action, done with intention, becomes something else entirely. The secret: Recite Bismillah and mean it. بِسْمِ اللهِ "In the name of Allah." Reciting this is a deliberate turning of the heart toward Allah Almighty before you begin. Even for the mundane things. Especially for the mundane things. When you do something for Allah Almighty, your entire perspective shifts. Your speech becomes more careful. Your thoughts more present. Your hands more gentle. A good intention doesn't just change why you act, but how you act. Washing the dishes becomes gratitude. Driving to work becomes trust. Saying good morning becomes generosity. Nothing is too small to be an act of worship. You just have to mean it. The 40 Hadith of Imam al-Nawawi begins here: with the hadith that anchors everything else.

Du'a for ease: اللَّهُمَّ لَا سَهْلَ إِلَّا مَا جَعَلْتَهُ سَهْلًا وَأَنْتَ تَجْعَلُ الْحَزْنَ إِذَا شِئْتَ سَهْلًا Allahumma la sahla illa ma ja'altahu sahla, wa anta taj'alul-hazna idha shi'ta sahla "O Allah, there is no ease other than what You make easy. If You please You ease sorrow." When: Something feels impossible. A reminder that ease is entirely in Allah's hands.

"The mighty one is not he who wrestles, but he who retains his self-control when angry," (Al-Bukhari, Muslim) Patience is at the first strike of calamity. When someone or something triggers you, it is very important to remain calm in those situations although it proves to be easier said than done most of the time. Allah Almighty rewards you for your patience. Be patient, it increases your station, Insha'Allah. 🧡

You are never alone. He is always with you. وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِۦ نَفْسُهُۥ ۖ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ ٱلْوَرِيدِ ١٦ "We created man––We know what his soul whispers to him: We are closer to him than his jugular vein––" (Qur'an 50:16)"

A tree once cried for the Prophet ﷺ. Here's the story. 🧡 Every Friday, he ﷺ would lean against a date palm tree and speak. The Companions would gather. The words of Allah would fill the air, and the tree held him with love. Then one day, the Companions built him a pulpit. A proper mimbar. An honour for the Prophet ﷺ. He ascended it, and for the first time, he didn't lean on the tree. That's when they heard it. A sound filling the masjid. Like a she-camel crying. It was the tree. The Companions froze. They had never heard anything like it. A trunk of wood weeping. Who would've thought? The Prophet ﷺ descended the pulpit mid-khutbah. He walked to the tree and he held it. The way you hold someone who is breaking. The tree continued to moan like a child being quietened in someone's arms. (Sahih al-Bukhari #3584) The Companions named that spot. Ustuwanah al-Hannanah. The Pillar of Longing. It still has a name in the Prophet's Masjid to this day. Because even a tree's love for him ﷺ was worth remembering. Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad. 🤍

"The beauty of a man is in the eloquence of his tongue." (Al-Qada'i, al-Askari) Reminder: Speak good, or remain silent. Always choose encouraging and good words over bad ones that harm people.

Du'a for grief and anxiety: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ وَالْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-hammi wal-hazan, wal-'ajzi wal-kasal, wal-jubni wal-bukhl, wa dala'id-dayni wa ghalabatir-rijal "O Allah! I seek refuge with You from worry and grief, from incapacity and laziness, from cowardice and miserliness, from being heavily in debt and from being overpowered by (other) men." When: Anxiety, dread, feeling stuck. The Prophet ﷺ recited this regularly. It covers almost every flavour of difficulty.

Sufficiency is rizq. Increase your barakah. Recite this du'a. اللّهُـمَّ اكْفِـني بِحَلالِـكَ عَنْ حَـرامِـك، وَأَغْنِـني بِفَضْـلِكَ عَمَّـنْ سِـواك Allāhummak-finī biḥalālika `an ḥarāmik, wa 'aghninī bi faḍlika `amman siwāk. O Allah, suffice me with what You have allowed instead of what You have forbidden, and make me independent of all others besides You.
