Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) said:
“Send Durood upon me abundantly because in beginning you
will be questioned in the grave about me”
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).
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. 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 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”. |
