يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ صَلُّواْ عَلَيۡهِ وَسَلِّمُواْ تَسۡلِيمًا

"... O ye who believe! Ask blessings on him and salute him with a worthy salutation." (QUR'AN:AL-AHZAB:33:56)

"O Allah, I believed in Muhammad but did not see him; do not deprive me in the Gardens of his vision. Bestow his company upon me and cause me to die in his religion. Let me drink from his pool a quenching, pleasant, delightful drink after which we shall never thirst again. You are powerful over everything. O Allah, convey to the soul of Muhammad my greetings and peace. O Allah, as I believed in Muhammad but did not see him, do not deprive me in the Gardens of his vision."
O Allah! I make the intention to invoke blessings on the Prophet, may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him, in compliance with Your Order and as an attestation of the Prophet sent by You, our master Muhammad, may Your blessings and peace be upon him; in his love and in my yearning for him and with the respect due to him as he merits it. Accept it from me by Your Grace and Kindness and remove the veil of negligence from my heart and make me among one of Your righteous servants.

TAQLEED : Following a Madhab, School of thought ... some advices

ARTICLE: In recent times, intense schisms have arisen over the issue of madhhabs and the layman’s relationship to qualified scholarship; the crux of which centres on four issues: (i) Can a layman take Islam directly from the Qur’an and the Sunnah? (ii) Can a layman make taql•d of a qualified scholar: in other words, accept a scholar’s verdict without knowing the proof? (iii) Is it necessary for a layman to strictly follow one of these madhhabs to the exclusion of the others? (iv) Since there were more than four great jurists, why are there just four madhhabs; why not more?

It is in the hope of shedding some light on these questions ...................
