Angelic Salwat Card for Day 3: Why do we recite salwat?

Why do we recite salwat? We recite salwat on many occasions because this is most practical way to demonstrate our love the Holy Prophet Muhammad (s.a.s.) and his close relations and their descendants. This has been explained very nicely in the following excerpt from Lecture 10, The Love of the Imams is a Duty Imposed by God, from the book titled 'Life and Lectures of the Grand Missionary Al-Muayyad-Fid-Din Al-Shirazi' (p.94):

"The 'Shia' learned divines maintain that God has enjoined on the followers of the Prophet to give him a return for lamp-posts of guidance which he has erected for them. The Holy Quran says, "Say, I do not ask you for a return except the love for the relatives". They say that once a group of people came to the Prophet saying, "O Prophet of God, you came to us at a time when we had lost the way. God guided is through you. We were poor, God made us rich through you. Our wealth is at your disposal. Take from it whatever you like." "It was on this occasion," say the learned divines from amongst the 'Shias' "that the above verse relating to the love of the relations was revealed." The Quranic expression, 'the love for the relations' according to them means 'the love of Ali, Fatima, Hasan, Husain and their descendants.' "
