Recitation of salah upon the Prophet peace be upon him (pbuh) is so important that Allah Subhanahu wa Ta`ala (SWT) Himself and all angels continuously recite it upon him. Although all Muslims, who perform five-time daily prayers, recite salah upon the Prophet inside these prayers, many of them neglect to recite it outside the prayer. This recitation leads to increasing the love of the Prophet (pbuh), without which belief of a Muslim remains incomplete. Considering the importance of this recitation, many classical and contemporary Muslim jurists compiled books on the topic of salah upon the Prophet. Most of these books have been written in Arabic. As for English language, according to the limited knowledge of the researcher, apart from some short and simple writings, no comprehensive works have been done on this topic. Using the descriptive and analytical methods, the researcher aims to highlight the meaning of salah, to discuss Shari`ah ruling of its recitation inside and outside the prayers, and to focus on important benefits of its recitation and disadvantages of not reciting it.
