RECITING SALAWAT IS BENEFICIAL

Allah Azza wa Jalla commands us to make salat and salam on our Holy Prophet (SAW) and to love our Holy Prophet (SAW). It is fard (obligatory). When it is fard and you do it, you gain rewards and gain benefits. Reciting salat and salam on our Holy Prophet (SAW) brings baraka (blessings) on a person. For prayers to be answered, we recite salat and salam in the beginning before making dua, and we recite salat and salam after the dua. So Allah (JJ) certainly answers the dua when it is in between two salat and salams.
