DUROOD SHAREEF

DUROOD SHAREEF
Allaah [Ta’aalaa] has issued three orders according to Qur'aan
Firstly we should believe in Allaah Kareem and His Prophet Muhammad
[Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam]
Secondly we should honor Almighty Allaah and His Rasool, The Mercy to the worlds, The Seal of Prophet hood, The Pride of Creation, The Praised & Chosen One…and
Thirdly; we should praise The Glorious, The Aware, The Enricher, Allaah (Almighty and Glorious is He) morning and evening.

DUA AND DUROOD
Dua' and Durood are at the very root of our Deen and as such should not be neglected. Asking Allaahu ta 'ala to send Salaat Alan Nabee [Durood Shareef] develops love in the heart for their Beloved Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam). All the true believers sacrifice themselves and their possessions in the way Fi Sabeel lil laah hoping to please Allaah ta'aalaa. We pray that Allaahu Kareem continue to allow us to be true to our Deen and always remain close to those who love Him.

EXCELLENCES OF "DUROOD SHAREEF"
Allaah Kareem has indeed bestowed a great favour upon the Muslims, in that He sent to them a Noble Messenger from among them, who recites to them His verses, and Purifies them, and teaches them the Book and wisdom; and before it, they were definitely in open error.
There are countless "Ahadees" (Prophetic sayings) in respect of "Durood Shareef (invocation of Allaah's blessings on the Holy Prophet) and the Holy Quraan says:
"Innal Laaha wa Malaa-ikatahoo Yu-Salloona 'Alan Nabeiy.
Yaaa Aieyuhal Lazeena Aamanoo Salloo 'Alaiehi wa Sallimoo Tasleemaa".
(Undoubtedly, Allaah and His Angels shower blessings on this Communicator of unseen news (Prophet). O' you believers! Invoke on him blessings profusely and salute him in the best way). This Quraanic verse clearly and concisely states:
Durood Shareef is greater than all Divine commands and injunctions, for, no other command carries the wording of "Allaah and His Angels do it and you also do so" than Durood Shareef.
All Angels sans any exception send benedictions and blessings upon him.
This command addresses only to the believers.
This command of Allaah Almighty is absolute one without any exemption or exclusion that it should be recited at such and such time and should not be recited at so and so time.
Whatever time Durood Shareef is recited it will be deemed to have been done in compliance to the said command.
Every time the believer recites Durood Shareef he will earn the reward of obligatory act (Fard,Farz), as this Divine command embraces all other commands. The more he recites it the more he gains the reward of Fard act.

THE MEANING OF DUROOD SHAREEF
"Durood Shareef is an especial honor which Allaah Almighty has bestowed upon the Holy Prophet, Muhammad (may Allaah's choicest blessings & peace be upon him). The religious scholars define "Al-Laa-humma Sallay 'Alaa Muhammad" as: O'Allaah! grant dignity to Prophet Muhammad by making his religion overwhelming, his preaching, teachings dominant and his Shari'ah ever-thriving and ever-lasting in this world and by accepting his primacy over all (the past and future communities, nations), exalting him over Apostles, Messengers, Prophets, Angels and all creatures and by making him stand on "Maqaam-e-Mahmood"
(A praise-worthy station reserved only for the Holy Prophet [Sallal-Laahu ‘Alaieh Wa Sal-lam) in the next world.
