The Excellence of Reciting the Durood Sharif

 

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).
