Thinking of Nabi صلى الله عليه و سلم in Salaah
Question
Will it be permissible to think of Nabi صلى الله عليه و سلم in Salaah, his greatness, characteristics etc?
Answer
One way of attaining concentration in Salaah is by pondering over the meaning of whatever we recite in Salaah. When reciting At-Tahiyyaat we say, “As-Salaamu’alaika Ayyuhan Nabiyu Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu.” Thinking of Rasulullah g when reciting the above words is inevitable, hence there is no harm in thinking of Rasulullah g at such a juncture.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Ifta, Darul Uloom Azaadville. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
