The Command from Allah Himself
This is not an optional good deed. It is a direct command from Allah (SWT) in the Holy Quran:
إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ۚ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا
“Indeed, Allah confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels [ask Him to do so]. O you who have believed, ask [Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [Allah to grant him] peace.”
(Surah Al-Ahzab, 33:56)
When Allah and His angels are sending blessings upon the Prophet (ﷺ), who are we, as believers, to hold back? Our Salah upon him is our way of joining this divine chorus.
