Durood e Jummah

recited once, a muslim will gain as much deeds (sawab) as if 1000 angels write
deeds for 70 days or if 70 angels write deeds for 1000 days, still won't be able to write
them all.(Hazarat Abdul Wahab Sherani- MIZAN)

"O Allah! Shower blessings on Muhammad, our Master, and his Family such blessings
by means of which Thou may relieve us of all anxieties and calamities. Thou may
satisfy all our needs. Thou may clean us of all evils and thanks for which Thou may
grant us high position and high rank and status in Thy presence, and Thou may lead
us to the utmost limit of our aspirations and capacity in whatever is best in this world
as well as in the world Hereafter, as Thou has the full Power over everything".

This Durood Shareef is always a cure for all calamities in the world of
worldly affairs. It was taught by Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi
Wasallim) himself. To recite this Durood Shareef 70 times during days of
calamity, turmoil and trouble, is a must. It works wonders.
The great Scholar, Saint, Jurist and author, Imam ibn-Faikihani (radi Allahu anhu)
says that there was once a pious man called Sheikh Moosa Zareer (radi Allahu anhu).
He embarked on a voyage by ship. Due to a heavy storm, the ship started sinking.
All the passengers on board started crying and clamouring, but Sheikh Moosa Zareer
(radi Allahu anhu) went to sleep. He saw the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi
Wasallim) in his dream and the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) directed him
and the passengers to recite Durood-e-Tunajjina 1 000 times. Sheikh Moosa Zareer
(radi Allahu anhu) got up and started the recitation. As soon as he finished 300
Durood Shareefs, the storm subsided and the ship was saved. The other ship on the
high seas sank, but this ship reached its destination safely and soundly. This miracle
was a sufficient eye-opener for the members of the ship. It was by the Grace of Allah
Ta'ala and Durood-e-Tunajjina that all were saved.

All the Saints have unanimously given verdict that Durood-e-Tunajjina is the best
cure of all ills and all calamities of this world.

A. THE EXCELLENCE OF DUROOD SHAREEF FOR THE UMMAH AS EXPLAINED

IN THE HOLY QURAN AND AHADITH

This book contains valuable information about Durood Shareef (Salawat) on Sayyiduna
Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim).

The message of Allah Ta'ala to Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim)
has come down to us in the form of the Holy Quran and the teachings of Sayyiduna
Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) have reached us in the form of the Ahadith.
Let us see what both the Holy Quran and Ahadith say about Durood Shareef (Salawat):

Innal llaha wa Malaa'ikatahu Yu salluna allan nabiyi.

Ya Ayyuhal lazeena aamanu sallu alaihi wasallimu tasleema.

Almighty Allah says: "Surely Allah and His Angels send blessings on the Holy Prophet
(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim). O you who believe! Send Blessings (Durood) and
Salutations (Salaams) on the Prophet with worthy Salutation".(Surah al-Ahzab: 56)

In this verse of the Holy Quran, Almighty Allah, His Malaa'ikah and the Muslims have
been mentioned as sending Durood upon Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi
Wasallim). So, Durood Shareef is actually "a Du'a in praise of the Holy Prophet
Muhammad (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim)."

Hazrat Anas (radi Allahu anhu) narrates that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi
Wasallim) said: "He who reads a single Durood upon me, Almighty Allah blesses him ten
times, ten of his sins are forgiven, and he is increased ten times in stages (internally).
(Mishkaat)

Hazrat Abdullah ibn Ma'sud (radi Allahu anhu) also narrates that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah
(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) said: "On the Day of Qiyamah, the closest to me from
among the people will be those who have read the most amount of Durood Shareef".
(Tirmidhi)

It is now evident that the recitation of Durood Shareef (Salawat) is in perfect obedience
to the Divine Command and in complete conformity with the teachings of Holy Prophet
(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) of Islam. There is no scope to choose anything else when
we have with us the words of Allah Ta'ala and His Apostle, Sayyiduna Rasoolullah
(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim).

B. WHAT IS DUROOD SHAREEF AND THE IMPORTANCE OF DUROOD SHAREEF

Divine blessings on Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) is the highest
and the most meritorious act in our Deen. This "Divine Blessings" is called Durood
Shareef.

When Almighty Allah sends Durood and Salaams upon Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal
Laahu Alaihi Wasallim), He is actually blessing him. When the Malaa'ikah and the
Muslims send Durood and Salaams to Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi
Wasallim), they are actually showing Almighty Allah their respect for the Holy Prophet
(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim).

Muslims hope that, through the blessings of the Durood and Salaams, Almighty Allah will
forgive them of their sins and increase their status in this world and in the Aakirah. The
Malaa'ikah hope that Almighty Allah will increase their status.

Durood is a sure means of Allah Ta'ala granting blessings, peace, prosperity and favours
of great magnitude on one who recites Durood Shareef on the Holy Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaihi Wasallim). The reciter of Durood Shareef receives all the benefits in this
world and utmost gain in the next world with addition to the love of the Holy Prophet
(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim).

The invocation of Blessings on the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) is styled
in Arabic as "Salawat", in Persian as "Durood", and in Urdu as "Salawat-o-Salaam".

The regular recitation of Durood Shareef on Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi
Wasallim) lifts up our hearts on to a plane of comprehension where we gaze in our new
found peace and moral armour.
The reciter of Durood Shareef will, after some time, come to realise by himself that it is
the spontaneous outpouring of his heart before the Great Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi
Wasallim) of Islam, whose love and attachment is needed to get all the present day
problems solved and obtain mercy in the next world.

The more Durood Shareef we recite, the greater the gain and benefit will be achieved in
both the worlds. Hazrat Shaikh-e-Akbar Mo'inuddin ibn Arabi (radi Allahu anhu) has
stated that, "Those who claim to love and revere the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi
Wasallim) should increase their recital of the Durood Shareef in patience and
perseverance until, through the mercy of Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim),
they have the opportunity of witnessing his blessed countenance".

The special and exclusive aspect of this prayer is that Durood Shareef is immediately
accepted by Allah Ta'ala. No one can doubt its acceptance, as Durood Shareef is being
recited by Allah Ta'ala too. Not only this, but He has revealed this secret in the Holy
Quran by saying:

Wara fa'na laka zikrah

"Have I not exalted thy name."

Muslims are a very fortunate people. Allah Ta'ala chose for them the name of Islam as a
religion, declared to be comprehensive and final for mankind. The person chose to
deliver this message in this specific form and extra-ordinary style of love and hope was
the most beloved of Allah Ta'ala and became the Light of Divinity to be shed upon the
entire universe. This Light devastated all the domains of darkness and depression. By
reciting Durood Shareef (Salawat) we invite Light and drive away all darkness from our
inner soul. Our mind becomes soft and love saturated. If there is softness in everything,
it tends beauty to it. People become ugly owing to lack of this essential beauty of the
inner part of the mind. This ugliness cannot be glossed over by any amount of
cosmetics. It is the Durood Shareef on the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim)
which works wonders.

In the same manner, the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) taught us Durood
Shareef to attain salvation, perfect peace and maximum gain in this world as well as the
next. The soul is the soil where the faith of Allah is to be implanted firmly and faithfully
which requires continuous recitation of Durood Shareef to thrive and flourish.

We have been told by Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) that Durood
Shareef is itself Light and when Light enters the soul every aspiration is achieved and
every goal is won. Nothing remains thereafter to worry about.
Human spirit today is depressed everywhere and mankind has come to the edge of
destruction, decay and devastation. Everyone is engulfed in untold miseries and
tragedies of a very great magnitude. Troubles and tortures, pain, poverty, hunger, ill-
health, frustrations and accidents have broken the back of a human being. All this can
evaporate with the recitation of Durood Shareef on the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi
Wasallim) who has clearly proclaimed that Durood Shareef is the panacea of all ills and
that if any one comes across a calamity he should recite Durood Shareef in the
maximum number. Allah Ta'ala has promised that if anyone recites Durood only once,
He showers ten blessings on the reciter immediately.

It is narrated that once Hazrat Musa (alaihis salaam) walked a very long distance in the
desert during summer at noon. He fainted due to thirst and hunger. After a while, when
he regained his consciousness, Allah Ta'ala sent Hazrat Jibrael (alaihis salaam) to go
and inquire from Hazrat Musa (alaihis salaam) if he was thirsty or not. Hazrat Musa
(alaihis salaam) replied that he was thirsty. Allah Ta'ala told him that the thirst on the
Day of Judgement will be a million times more than what Hazrat Moosa (alaihis salaam)
experienced. Hazrat Musa (alaihis salaam) was told that if he wished to get rid of that
thirst on the hottest Day of Judgement, he would have to do one thing. When Hazrat
Musa (alaihis salaam) enquired as to what should be done, Allah Ta'ala told him that he
should recite Durood Shareef in abundance on His last Prophet, Sayyiduna Rasoolullah
(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim). Hazrat Musa (alaihis salaam) thanked Allah Ta'ala and
immediately began reciting Durood Shareef on the Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu
Alaihi Wasallim).

From the above fact it is quite clear that Allah Ta'ala has given orders even to his
Ambiya to recite Salawat on the last and final Prophet of Islam, and that Durood Shareef
is not only panacea and a solution to the ills of this world but in the next too.

In another story, it is narrated that when Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam) saw Bibi Hawa
(radi Allahu anha) he wanted to be close to her, but Allah Ta'ala sent Hazrat Jibrael
(alaihis salaam) to stop him. Allah Ta'ala told him that if he wanted to take Bibi Hawa
(radi Allahu anha) as his wife, he should first pay Mahr (dowry). On his inquiry as to what
the Mahr was, Allah Ta'ala told Hazrat Jibrael (alaihis salaam) to inform him that the best
way of paying the dowry is for him to recite Durood Shareef 3 times on His last Prophet,
Hazrat Muhammad (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim). Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam) did so,
Bibi Hawa (radi Allahu anha) was granted to him as his legal and legitimate wife.

The highest blessings which Islam has conferred on man is the concept of Tauheed or
Unity of Allah in its purest form. This has been furnished to mankind through Sayyiduna
Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim), the last of the Prophets. It is a cardinal duty
of every Muslim man and woman, young and old to entertain the highest respect, regard,
love and esteem for the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) and his family. It should
be clear that obedience to Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) is
always to be charged with intense love and highest regard for him, for it is through love
and esteem that truth can be comprehended and communion with the Creator can be
vouch-safed. In fact, love is the motive force, reverence dissolves and implicit obedience
to the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) which is the natural outcome. It is therefore
incumbent on those who love him, to pray to Allah Ta'ala and His Angels in wishing for
him peace according to the Divine Command. This will reshape the life which is
otherwise infested with turmoil. The reciter will get countless and matchless benefits in
both the Worlds and can claim to be the lover of Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi
Wasallim).

As Muslims we should recite Durood Shareef in the Arabic language. Islam seeks to
create a unified outlook and it is in the Arabic language alone which welds all Muslims
into one great brotherhood. Besides, Arabic is the language of Heaven, it is the
language of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim), it is the language of
the Angels and it is the language of Hazrat Abu-Bakr, Hazrat Umar, Hazrat Uthman and
Hazrat Ali (radi Allahu anhuma).

The daily recitation of Durood Shareef has a tremendous effect on the human head,
heart, mind and person. It purifies thoughts and intensifies actions. It makes passages
for perfect peace and personal satisfaction.

Sake, all our troubles and tortures be over, calamities ended, and all

preceded, who helps truth with truth, and who guided mankind to Thy
straight path. May blessings of Allah be on him and his Family and
Companions as according to his exalted position befitting his merit and
his high rank".

Actually, this Durood Shareef is in the Holy Quran; but then it was kept
a secret. Hazrat Abu-Bakr Siddique (radi Allahu anhu), the first Caliph
of Islam, used to recite it daily without fail. Some narrations say that it
is because of this Durood that he was awarded the title of "Siddique"
which means "Testifier to the Truth".

Hazrat Abul Muqqarab (radi Allahu anhu) says that a man's total sins
will be washed away if he recites Durood-e-Fath for forty days
continuously.

Hazrat Shaikh Muhammad Bakari (radi Allahu anhu) says that the
recitation of Durood-e-Fath once a day relieves the reciter from the
Fire of Hell.

Hazrat Syed Ahmed Hillam (radi Allahu anhu) says that Durood-e- Fath
was the most favourite routine of Hazrat Ghaus-e-Azam, Sheikh Abdul
Qaadir Jilani (radi Allahu anhu) of Baghdad Shareef.

The great Saints also say that Durood-e-Fath is actual and real light.

Hazrat Sheikh Yusuf Bin Ismail (radi Allahu anhu) says that this Durood
Shareef is the greatest mystery of Allah. It brings 100% success and
happiness to the reciter. In fact, this Durood Shareef brings prosperity
and favour and solves all the complex problems by the Grace of Allah.
When a man recites this Durood Shareef, the Angels of Allah surround
him, mercy covers him and peace starts descending on him.

4. DUROOD-E-SHAFI'I

"O Allah! Shower blessings on Muhammad and his children whenever
he is remembered by those who remember him, and shower blessings
on Muhammad and family whenever he is not remembered by the
negligent, and grant him peace constantly in abundance".

This Durood Shareef is called Durood-e-Shafi'i because Hazrat Imam

Shafi'i (radi Allahu anhu) used to recite it constantly and he received
glad tidings of Jannah in this world. This Durood Shareef is of a very
great significance. It brings tremendous prosperity, health, happiness
and success in this and the next world.

Hazrat Allama Sakhavi (radi Allahu anhu) has written in his book that
Abdullah bin Abdul Hakam saw Hazrat Imam Shafi'i (radi Allahu
anhuma) in a dream after his death and inquired about life after death.
Imam Shafi'i (radi Allahu anhu) told him that because of the continuous
recitation of the above Durood Shareef, Allah Ta'ala gave him the most
exalted position of the highest grade in Heaven and forgave him.
Hazrat Imam Muzni (radi Allahu anhu) has also narrated exactly the
same story.

This Durood Shareef is of a very great significance. It brings

tremendous prosperity, health and happiness and success in this world
and the Aakirah.

5. DUROOD-E-DAWAAMI
ALLAHUMMA SALLI ALA SAYYIDINA MUHAMMADIW WA ALA AALI

"O Allah! Shower blessings on Muhammad, our master, in the number

that is in Thy knowledge such blessings as may continue for ever
eternal as Thy Kingdom".

This Durood Shareef is of a very great value. If it is recited only once, it

amounts to all the rewards of all the Duroods. By reciting this Durood,
one gets peace of mind and success in this world as well as in the next.
After reciting this Durood Shareef, the reciter can claim that he has
recited almost all the Duroods which are in this world known to the
people. During days of upheavals, this Durood Shareef brings relief,
success and true happiness. It is mostly the Saints and very pious
people who recite this Durood after every prayer. They also
recommended this Durood Shareef to all the needy.

6. DUROOD-E-TUNAJJINA

"O Allah! Shower blessings on Muhammad, our Master, and his Family
such blessings by means of which Thou may relieve us of all anxieties
and calamities. Thou may satisfy all our needs. Thou may clean us of
all evils and thanks for which Thou may grant us high position and high
rank and status in Thy presence, and Thou may lead us to the utmost
limit of our aspirations and capacity in whatever is best in this world as
well as in the world Hereafter, as Thou has the full Power over
everything".

This Durood Shareef is always a cure for all calamities in the world of
worldly affairs. It was taught by Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu
Alaihi Wasallim) himself. To recite this Durood Shareef 70 times during
days of calamity, turmoil and trouble, is a must. It works wonders.

The great Scholar, Saint, Jurist and author, Imam ibn-Faikihani (radi
Allahu anhu) says that there was once a pious man called Sheikh
Moosa Zareer (radi Allahu anhu). He embarked on a voyage by ship.
Due to a heavy storm, the ship started sinking. All the passengers on
board started crying and clamouring, but Sheikh Moosa Zareer (radi
Allahu anhu) went to sleep. He saw the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu
Alaihi Wasallim) in his dream and the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi
Wasallim) directed him and the passengers to recite Durood-e-
Tunajjina 1 000 times. Sheikh Moosa Zareer (radi Allahu anhu) got up
and started the recitation. As soon as he finished 300 Durood Shareefs,
the storm subsided and the ship was saved. The other ship on the high
seas sank, but this ship reached its destination safely and soundly. This
miracle was a sufficient eye-opener for the members of the ship. It was
by the Grace of Allah Ta'ala and Durood-e-Tunajjina that all were
saved.

All the Saints have unanimously given verdict that Durood-e-Tunajjina

is the best cure of all ills and all calamities of this world.

This Durood Shareef is a very sacred one. If it is recited after every
prayer, it is said that the reciter will receive the Sawaab equivalent to
the recital of the entire Holy Quran. After reading the verses of the
Holy Quran, this Durood Shareef should be recited 3 times.

number which is impossible to be counted even, and which may be spread all over, and
also that kindness and mercy which has neither beginning nor end, and which is always
fresh and fine with your kindness, and the same blessings on his Family and Companions
permanently”.
This Durood Shareef was very dear and near to Hazrat Ghaus-e-Azam, Sheikh Abdul
Qaadir Jilani (radi Allahu anhu) of Baghdad Shareef. He ended all his lectures, recitations
and writings with this Durood. It is for this reason that it is called Durood-e-Ghausia. It is
very sacred, very important, very effective and 100% success.

The Saints says that if a man recites this Durood Shareef 10 times in the morning and 10
times in the evening, Allah Ta’ala fetches him nearer and nearer and loves him a lot. The
reciter becomes a Saint himself. Apart from this, he will be safe from all the catastrophes
of the world. The Mercy of Allah will start pouring upon him endlessly.

that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said that if any person recites

while paying homage to the deceased. When it is recited, Allah showers His blessings on

A poor man complained to Hazrat Shahabuddin Ibn Arslan (radi Allahu anhu) about his

Saint, listened patiently to this poor man and then told him to recite the above Durood

Those who recite this Durood Shareef reach the first place before Allah Ta’ala. It is for
this reason that this Durood is called Durood-e-Awal (First). Those who read this Durood
Shareef daily are rewarded abundantly and all their bad habits evaporate. This Salawat
fetches the reciter nearer and nearer to Allah Ta’ala and brings forth all kinds of delight.

WHO’S BODY CANNOT BE EATEN BY THE SOIL?

July 18, 2008 — ashiqerasool

The Prophets(Alayhi sallam’s), the Awliya (Friends of Allah Ta’ala), the Shuhada
(Martyrs), a Hafiz of the Quran who also acts upon the instructions of the Holy Quran, a
person who has never committed a sin and those who pray the Durood Shareef at all
times, their bodies are not eaten by the soil. Those who say that the Prophet’s(Alayhi
sallam’s) bodies “have died and eaten by the soil” is a misguided person, from the wrong
sect, or an evil and an insulting person.

The Excellence in reciting the Durood Sharif upon the

Holy Prohet Muhammad Mustafa(Salla Allahu
ta’ala’alayhi wa sallam) as explained in the Holy
Quran Sharif and Ahadith Sharif.
July 18, 2008 — ashiqerasool
The message of Allah Ta’ala to Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)
has come down to us in the form of the Holy Quran and the teachings of Sayyiduna
Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) have reached us in the form of the Ahadith.
Let us see what both the Holy Quran and Ahadith say about Durood Shareef
(Salawat):

Almighty Allah says: “Surely Allah and His Angels send blessings on the Holy Prophet
(sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). O you who believe! Send Blessings (Durood) and
Salutations (Salaams) on the Prophet with worthy Salutation”. (Surah al-Ahzab:
56)In this verse of the Holy Quran, Almighty Allah, His Malaa’ikah and the Muslims
have been mentioned as sending Durood upon Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu
alaihi wasallam).

So, Durood Shareef is actually “a Du’a in praise of the Holy Prophet Muhammad
(sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).” Sayyiduna Anas (radi Allahu anhu) narrates that
Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said: “He who reads a single
Durood upon me, Almighty Allah blesses him ten times, ten of his sins are forgiven,
and he is increased ten times in stages (internally). (Mishkaat) Sayyiduna Abdullah
ibn Ma’sud (radi Allahu anhu) also narrates that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu
alaihi wasallam) said: “On the Day of Qiyamah, the closest to me from among the
people will be those who have read the most amount of Durood Shareef”. (Tirmidhi)
It is now evident that the recitation of Durood Shareef (Salawat) is in perfect
obedience to the Divine Command and in complete conformity with the teachings of
Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) of Islam. There is no scope to choose
anything else when we have with us the words of Allah Ta’ala and His Apostle,
Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).

What is Durood Sharif and The Importance Of Durood

Sharif .
July 18, 2008 — ashiqerasool

WHAT IS DUROOD SHAREEF AND THE IMPORTANCE OF DUROOD SHAREEF

Divine blessings on Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the

highest and the most meritorious act in our Deen. This “Divine Blessings” is called
Durood Shareef.
When Almighty Allah sends Durood and Salaams upon Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal
laahu alaihi wasallam), He is actually blessing him. When the Malaa’ikah and the
Muslims send Durood and Salaams to Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam), they are actually showing Almighty Allah their respect for the Holy
Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).Muslims hope that, through the blessings of
the Durood and Salaams, Almighty Allah will forgive them of their sins and increase
their status in this world and in the Aakirah. The Malaa’ikah hope that Almighty Allah
will increase their status.

Durood is a sure means of Allah Ta’ala granting blessings, peace, prosperity and
favours of great magnitude on one who recites Durood Shareef on the Holy Prophet
(sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). The reciter of Durood Shareef receives all the benefits
in this world and utmost gain in the next world with addition to the love of the Holy
Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).The invocation of Blessings on the Holy Prophet
(sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is styled in Arabic as “Salawat”, in Persian as “Durood”,
and in Urdu as “Salawat-o-Salaam”.

The regular recitation of Durood Shareef on Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam) lifts up our hearts on to a plane of comprehension where we gaze in our
new found peace and moral armour.

The reciter of Durood Shareef will, after some time, come to realise by himself that it
is the spontaneous outpouring of his heart before the Great Prophet (sallal laahu
alaihi wasallam) of Islam, whose love and attachment is needed to get all the
present day problems solved and obtain mercy in the next world.

The more Durood Shareef we recite, the greater the gain and benefit will be achieved
in both the worlds. Sayyiduna Shaikh-e-Akbar Mo’inuddin ibn Arabi (radi Allahu
anhu) has stated that, “Those who claim to love and revere the Holy Prophet (sallal
laahu alaihi wasallam) should increase their recital of the Durood Shareef in patience
and perseverance until, through the mercy of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam), they have the opportunity of witnessing his blessed countenance”.

The special and exclusive aspect of this prayer is that Durood Shareef is immediately
accepted by Allah Ta’ala. No one can doubt its acceptance, as Durood Shareef is
being recited by Allah Ta’ala too. Not only this, but He has revealed this secret in the
Holy Quran by saying:

“Have I not exalted thy name.” Muslims are a very fortunate people. Allah Ta’ala
chose for them the name of Islam as a religion, declared to be comprehensive and
final for mankind. The person chose to deliver this message in this specific form and
extra-ordinary style of love and hope was the most beloved of Allah Ta’ala and
became the Light of Divinity to be shed upon the entire universe. This Light
devastated all the domains of darkness and depression. By reciting Durood Shareef
(Salawat) we invite Light and drive away all darkness from our inner soul. Our mind
becomes soft and love saturated. If there is softness in everything, it tends beauty to
it. People become ugly owing to lack of this essential beauty of the inner part of the
mind. This ugliness cannot be glossed over by any amount of cosmetics. It is the
Durood Shareef on the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) which works
wonders.

In the same manner, the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) taught us
Durood Shareef to attain salvation, perfect peace and maximum gain in this world as
well as the next. The soul is the soil where the faith of Allah is to be implanted firmly
and faithfully which requires continuous recitation of Durood Shareef to thrive and
flourish.

We have been told by Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) that
Durood Shareef is itself Light and when Light enters the soul every aspiration is
achieved and every goal is won. Nothing remains thereafter to worry about.

Human spirit today is depressed everywhere and mankind has come to the edge of
destruction, decay and devastation. Everyone is engulfed in untold miseries and
tragedies of a very great magnitude. Troubles and tortures, pain, poverty, hunger,
ill-health, frustrations and accidents have broken the back of a human being. All this
can evaporate with the recitation of Durood Shareef on the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu
alaihi wasallam) who has clearly proclaimed that Durood Shareef is the panacea of
all ills and that if any one comes across a calamity he should recite Durood Shareef
in the maximum number. Allah Ta’ala has promised that if anyone recites Durood
only once, He showers ten blessings on the reciter immediately.

It is narrated that once Sayyiduna Musa (alaihis salaam) walked a very long distance
in the desert during summer at noon. He fainted due to thirst and hunger. After a
while, when he regained his consciousness, Allah Ta’ala sent Sayyiduna Jibrael
(alaihis salaam) to go and inquire from Sayyiduna Musa (alaihis salaam) if he was
thirsty or not. Sayyiduna Musa (alaihis salaam) replied that he was thirsty. Allah
Ta’ala told him that the thirst on the Day of Judgement will be a million times more
than what Sayyiduna Moosa (alaihis salaam) experienced. Sayyiduna Musa (alaihis
salaam) was told that if he wished to get rid of that thirst on the hottest Day of
Judgement, he would have to do one thing. When Sayyiduna Musa (alaihis salaam)
enquired as to what should be done, Allah Ta’ala told him that he should recite
Durood Shareef in abundance on His last Prophet, Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal
laahu alaihi wasallam). Sayyiduna Musa (alaihis salaam) thanked Allah Ta’ala and
immediately began reciting Durood Shareef on the Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal
laahu alaihi wasallam).

From the above fact it is quite clear that Allah Ta’ala has given orders even to his
Ambiya to recite Salawat on the last and final Prophet of Islam, and that Durood
Shareef is not only panacea and a solution to the ills of this world but in the next too.

In another story, it is narrated that when Sayyiduna Adam (alaihis salaam) saw Bibi
Hawa (radi Allahu anha) he wanted to be close to her, but Allah Ta’ala sent
Sayyiduna Jibrael (alaihis salaam) to stop him. Allah Ta’ala told him that if he wanted
to take Bibi Hawa (radi Allahu anha) as his wife, he should first pay Mahr (dowry).
On his inquiry as to what the Mahr was, Allah Ta’ala told Sayyiduna Jibrael (alaihis
salaam) to inform him that the best way of paying the dowry is for him to recite
Durood Shareef 3 times on His last Prophet, Sayyiduna Muhammad (sallal laahu
alaihi wasallam). Sayyiduna Adam (alaihis salaam) did so, Bibi Hawa (radi Allahu
anha) was granted to him as his legal and legitimate wife.

The highest blessings which Islam has conferred on man is the concept of Tauheed
or Unity of Allah in its purest form. This has been furnished to mankind through
Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), the last of the Prophets. It is a
cardinal duty of every Muslim man and woman, young and old to entertain the
highest respect, regard, love and esteem for the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam) and his family. It should be clear that obedience to Sayyiduna Rasoolullah
(sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is always to be charged with intense love and highest
regard for him, for it is through love and esteem that truth can be comprehended
and communion with the Creator can be vouch-safed. In fact, love is the motive
force, reverence dissolves and implicit obedience to the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam) which is the natural outcome. It is therefore incumbent on those who love
him, to pray to Allah Ta’ala and His Angels in wishing for him peace according to the
Divine Command. This will reshape the life which is otherwise infested with turmoil.
The reciter will get countless and matchless benefits in both the Worlds and can
claim to be the lover of Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).As Muslims we
should recite Durood Shareef in the Arabic language. Islam seeks to create a unified
outlook and it is in the Arabic language alone which welds all Muslims into one great
brotherhood. Besides, Arabic is the language of Heaven, it is the language of
Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), it is the language of the Angels
and it is the language of Sayyiduna Abu-Bakr, Sayyiduna Umar, Sayyiduna Uthman
and Sayyiduna Ali (radi Allahu anhuma).The daily recitation of Durood Shareef has a
tremendous effect on the human head, heart, mind and person. It purifies thoughts
and intensifies actions. It makes passages for perfect peace and personal
satisfaction.

Respect that should be accorded when reciting the

Durood Sharif.
July 18, 2008 — ashiqerasool

1. Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said: “Without doubt,

there is an Angel of Almighty Allah whom Allah has given power to listen to
the voices of all the people. Whenever any person reads the Durood Shareef,
this Angel delivers the Durood Shareef to me. I then plead to Almighty Allah
for the person to receive ten blessings for reading a single Durood Shareef”.
(Jami’us Sagheer)

How should one recite the Durood Shareef? What should be the persons
condition and the conditions of his environment? The following points should
be taken into account when reciting Durood Shareef:-

1. It should be read with utmost humility and respect.

2. The clothes of the reciter should be clean and free from all impurity.
3. The place where the Durood Shareef is to be read should be clean.
4. It is more superior to be in a state of Wudhu while reciting the Durood
Shareef.
5. It is better to sit in the Tashahudd position as you would sit when in Salaah
and recite the Durood Shareef with concentration and the respect due to it.
6. It is preferable to face Madinatul Munawwarah.
7. If possible, one should have sweet fragrance around the place.
8. The reciter should try and understand the meaning of the Durood Shareef.
9. One should possess a clean and untainted intention. One should read with
the sole intention of pleasing Almighty Allah and Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal
laahu alaihi wasallam).
10. The person should not be involved in worldly talks.
11. A person should try his level best to follow the example or Sunnah of the
Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).
12. When reading Durood Shareef, you should try and imagine that you are
sitting in the august presence of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam). Utmost respect and reverence should be displayed.
13. Whenever one hears or recites the Durood Shareef, it should be read and
written in full. It is also preferable to kiss one’s thumb and rub them over
one’s eyes when hearing the name of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam).
14. When the reading of the Durood Shareef is completed one should praise
 Allah Ta’ala that he has given you the opportunity of reading such a great Zikr
as the Durood Shareef.
15. Whenever one takes the name of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam), one should use titles of respect and reverence.
16. As an advantage one should count on one’s fingers as Sayyiduna
Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) often encouraged this practice
because on the Day of Qiyamah those same fingers will bear witness at the
time when they are questioned.
17. Recite Durood Shareef wherever you are (not in the bathroom or toilet)
and during any occasion.

“He is the leader of Arabs and non-Arabs. His body is the most holy, pure, fragrant, full

If anyone wants to see Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in his dream,
then he should recite Durood-e-Taaj on eleven Friday nights continuously and that too on
the advancing stages of the moon. The pre-requisites of the Revision of the Durood are as
below:-
a. Make Wudhu.
b. Put on clean scentful clothes.
c. Face the Qibla and recite Durood for 170 times, then go to bed.
For the sanctity of the soul, one should recite the Durood seven times after Salaatul Fajr,
three times after Salaatul Asr and Esha, each day.

And for overcoming the cruel Rulers and enemies, and to come out of the misery of
poverty, one should recite Durood for 40 days continuously, 41 times each day. One who
wishes to enhance the avenues of economy in abundance, he or she must make it a
routine to revise the Durood seven times each day after Salatul Fajr.

Besides all this, Durood-e-Taaj is panacea of all the present day ills and will enable the
reciter to pass a happy and peaceful life for ever.
