Do you know background of ATTAHIYYAAT, as to why we recite it in every prayer?

Attahiyyaat is a very important 'Du'a' we repeat it in our daily prayers. When I learnt the importance of this, it melted my heart.
Attahiyat is actually a part of conversation between Our Creator Allaah and our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ during his journey of Al Isra Wal Miraaj.

When Prophet Muhammad ﷺ met Allaah, he didn't say 'Assalamu 'Alaykum'. What is someone going to say when he meets Allaah? We can't wish Him peace because all sources of peace are through Him only.

So Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: "Attahiyyaatu Lillahi Was Salawatu Wattayyibatu" (All compliments, all prayer and worship are for Allaah)
Allaah replied: "Assalamu 'Alayka Ayyuhannabiyyu 'Warahmatullahi Wabarkatuhu" (Peace be upon you, Oh Prophet and Allaah's Mercy and Blessings).
To this, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ replied: "Assalamu 'Alayna Wa'ala 'Ibadillihis Sa'liheen" (Peace be on us and on all good slaves of Allaah)

#Note Prophet Muhammad ﷺ included "us" in his reply... (and on all good slaves of Allaah)
And listening to this conversation between Allaah and His Messenger Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam , the Angels said:
"Ash-had'u'un La ilaha illallahu Wa Ash-hadu Anna Muhammadun Abduhu Wa Rasuluh" (I bear witness that no one is worthy of worship except Allaah And I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger).

Subhan Allaah! I now understood the importance of this conversation in our daily prayers and how the Salat was prescribed to us.

#SHARE .. Imagine if other people will know and you will get rewarded.
