So asking with a need from Allah swt by the Salat
on Muhammad (s.a.w) so he can raise the rank of
Muhammad s.a.w and make it high to the people,
where the people will recognize the great stautus of
Muhammad (s.a.w) and that will only happen
during the appearance of Imam Mahdi (a.s).
And when Imam Mahdi (a.s) appears he shall
spread 25 letters from his knowledge so he can teach
the people about tawheed (monotheism), the
messengers, books of Allah swt, angels and the
creation of Allah (swt) and also teach them about
who Muhammad (s.a.w) really is.
So when we say “Allah humma sal-e ala
Muhammad wa ala al-e Muhammad”, we are
actually saying ‘O Allah reveal the truth of
Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and
reveal for us the greatest rank of Muhammad and
the family of Muhammad’ – as if we are saying ‘O
Allah Hasten the appearance of Muhammad and
the family of Muhammad and O Allah reveal the
justice, truth, tranquility and eliminate inequity,
corruption and oppression.'
And what I have learned from Imam Al-Mahdi (a.s)
is : “In the Name of Allah, the Merciful and the
Beneficent, there is no power around us except
with Allah, the High, the Great, Allah humma
salle ala Muhammad wa Ale Muhammad (wa
Salam Tasleema) greet him with a thorough
greeting”.
And whoever says it 50 times, he shall not be
recorded as someone who is absentminded on that
day, and whoever says it 100 times it will be
recorded that he shall be one of the “Thakireen (in
the day of judgement) who mention Allah swt
many times.”
And whoever says it 1000 times he shall be amongst
the winners with Allah swt and with Imam AlMahdi (a.s)

Another Question after this was asked:
So this means that true believers ask for a need from
Allah (swt) so that he can Sali (raise the rank of
Muhammad (s.a.w) and say Allah humma sal-e ala
Muhammad wa ala al-e Muhammad wa salam
tasleema. And the meaning salam tasleema means
to give them security and safety.
And the security of it, is pledging allegiance to the
Qa’im (Mahdi (a.s), and the safety is the nation of
the Qa’im a.s.
The Holy Qur’an (3:97)
“And whoever enters it, becomes secure”.
The Holy Qur’an (34:18)

The Prophet (s.a.w) is reported to have said: "One
of myAhlul-Bayt (a.s) will rise and will act upon
my tradition and my custom".
“Allah humma sal-e ala Muhammad wa ala al-e
Muhammad kama salait ala Ibrahim wa ala al-e
Ibrahim”.
Prophet (s.a.w) said: "Mahdi is from my family and
will fight for my tradition, just as I fought for the
Qur'an".
It is known that Muhammad (s.a.w) and his family
(a.s) is better than Ibrahim (a.s) his family (a.s), so
how can it be asking for a need from Allah swt tha
the raised the rank of Muhammad (s.a.w) and the
family of Muhammad s.a.w like how He raised the
rank of Ibrahim (a.s) and the family of Ibrahim (a.s).
"The Qa'im among my children, will have my
name and my patronymic. He will possess my
features and will follow my conduct. He will
command the people to my obedience and to my
law; and he will call them to the Book of my Lord".
Should not they (Muhammad (s.a.w) and his family
(a.s)) be better than Ibrahim a.s and the family of
Ibrahim (a.s)?
Salat on Muhammad and the family of Muhammad
means to ask Allah (swt) to hasten the appearance of
Muhammad and the family of Muhammad (a.s), so
that their Qa’im (Mahdi), the one who stands to
reform/guider) appears.
So that is why it was joined with the salat on
Ibrahim a.s and the family of Ibrahim (a.s) that is
because Allah swt Hastened the appearance of their
Qa’im and it was Prophet Moses (a.s).
So asking Allah swt with raising the rank of
Muhammad s.a.w and the family of Muhammad
(a.s) same way how He raised the rank of Ibrahim
a.s and the family of Ibrahim (a.s) means:
"O Allah make the Qa’im appear from the family
of Muhammad the same way you made the Qa’im
of the family of Ibrahim (as) appear who was
Moses (as). And the tribes of Israel used to wait for
Moses (as) the same way how the Muslims are
waiting for Imam Al-Mahdi (as) now."
Some quotes from Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w)
about the Mahdi a.s who appears from the AhlulBayt (a.s) of Muhammad s.a.w, Insh’Allah
The Holy Qur’an (33:56):
"Allah and the angels send salat on the (Nabi)
Prophet (s.a.w), O You who believe! Send your
salat on him and greet him with a thorough
greeting."

The Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) said: "We (I and
my family) are
