In this Islamcast;

Ustadh Hatim reiterates the importance of whole-hearted Salaams upon the Prophet - Allah bless him and give him peace.  He then emphasizes following the Prophet - Allah bless him and give him peace - out of love, and mentions that the sahaba used to always remember him and associate the Sunnas they perform with him, and that's because he was always present on their tongues and in their hearts.

Ustadh Hatim also touches on the significance of changing our attitude towards the issue of loving the Prophet - Allah bless him and give peace - and explains how if you take one step towards that Allah will make the second step easier and so on until we find ourselves immersed in love and gratitude for the Prophet - Allah bless him and give him peace.
