Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
Ya Ali Madad! This post has two parts:
1. Knowledge Section;
2. Angelic Salwat Dhikr.
Part 1: Knowledge Section
Let us read a couple of ayats from the Holy Qur'an and their tawil:
"And those foremost (in faith) will be foremost (in the hereafter). These will be those nearest to God."
Source: Holy Qur'an (56:10-11) Yusufali's translation
"Sabiqun (Those who excel): In many Qur'anic verses, those fortunate mu'mins who excel in good deeds, i.e. they excel others on the straight path, are praised highly. Because this path is such that its stages can be traversed only by knowledge and good deeds. Thus today those who are sabiqun (foremost) on the straight path will also be sabiqun tomorrow on the Day of Resurrection and closest to God (56:10-11)."

Part 2. Angelic Salwat
Let us recite angelic salwats to invoke Divine grace and mercy.
