Q
What is the importance of selecting a personal invocation after the tashahhud in prayer?
A
When we prayed with the Prophet (ﷺ) we used to say, “Peace be on Allah from His slaves and peace be on
so and so.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Don’t say As-Salam be on Allah, for He Himself is As-Salam, but say,
at-tahiyatu li l-lahi wa s-salawatu wa t-taiyibat. As-salamu `alaika aiyuha n-Nabiyu wa rahmatu l-lahi
wa barakatuh. As-salamu `alaina wa `ala `ibadi l-lahi s-salihin. (If you say this then it will reach all the
slaves in heaven or between heaven and earth). Ash-hadu al la-ilaha illa l-lah, wa ash-hadu anna
Muhammadan `Abduhu wa Rasuluh.’ Then select the invocation you like best and recite it.” (See
Hadith No. 794, 795 & 796).
