Before reciting the Mawlid, the scholars traditionally make a number of intentions. They then read Surat al-Fatihah and donate its reward to the Prophet ﷺ in the hope that their recitation and their intentions are accepted.
Here are some of the intentions that Sayyidi Habib `Umar bin Hafiz (may Allah preserve him and benefit us by him) makes prior to reciting the Mawlid.
