THE EXCELLENCE OF DUROOD SHAREEF AS EXPLAINED IN THE AHADITH“Hadith” is an Arabic word which means “Holy Sayings”. It is the narration of all the affectionate words of advice uttered by the Noble Prophet (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam) Muhammad (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) from time to time. These sayings (Ahadith) are instructions offered for the guidance of mankind, and to follow them is as important as daily prayers.The famous books of Hadith are the following: Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, Muwatta, Nisaai’, Ibn-Majah, Darmi, Baihaqi and Miskhaat Shareef.Imam Bukhari (radi Allahu anhu), the compiler of Bukhari Shareef, took the greatest and painstaking precautions in making his collections of Ahadith and exerted to his utmost to achieve all accuracy and reliability as possible. Hence, Ahadith quoted by Imam Bukhari (radi Allahu anhu) and his work on Ahadith stands as one of the wonders of intellectual achievement in Islamic History. He wrote all Ahadith in the sacred Haram of Madina Munawwarah.
All the previous Messengers were chosen for specific peoples, but Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ holds distinction in this regard to have been sent for.
It is, therefore, that most of the Ahadith have been taken from the book of Bukhari Shareef.Important Ahadith of the Noble Prophet (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam) (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) have been included here for the betterment, benefit guidance and gain of the readers of this book. If followed, the reader of these sayings will receive a permit to Paradise even in this world. Every saying opens door to Divine favour and sure success.1. For every Durood Shareef that you recite, ten sins are forgiven, ten good deeds are entered into your sheet of actions and ten position are upgraded.2.
Allah showers ten blessings on the man who recites a Durood. The first man who will meet the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) on the Day of Judgement will be that person who had recited the Durood maximum number of times in his life time.4.

When a prayer is made to Allah it is never accepted unless praise of Allah Ta’ala and Durood Shareef on the Noble Prophet (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam) (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) is first of all recited.12.
Those who recite Durood quite often will see Divine Light on the dark Day of Judgement.13. Three persons will be under the cool shade and the favours of Allah Ta’ala on the Doom’s Day.

If any one recites Durood Shareef from any place, any part of the world from any distance, it actually reaches the Noble Prophet (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam) (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) immediately.
Allah Ta’ala has appointed several Angels who are given exclusive duty to collect all Durood Shareef and present the same before the Noble Prophet (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam) (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) immediately.34. Angels of Allah shower 70 blessings on a man who recites Durood once.35. Whenever you hear the call of prayers (Azaan) you should recite Durood.36. Wherever you are, from any quarter of the world, you must recite Durood as it reaches the Noble Prophet (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam) (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim).37.
Ablution is not complete if Durood is not recited on it.38. The Noble Prophet (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam) (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) said to his wife that any one who hears the name of the Noble Prophet (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam) (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) and does not recite Durood on him will not see the beautiful face of Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) on the Day of the Judgement.39. Sayyiduna Ali (radi Allahu anhu) reports that Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) said, “The real miser is he in whose presence I am mentioned and then he fails to recite Salat on me”.40. If a person recites 1 000 Durood Shareef daily, he will never die unless he himself sees his place in Heaven with his own eyes.41. The Durood Shareef that is recited by the person is written with a Golden Pen on a Silver tablet by the Angels.
The Angels then present this Durood Shareef to Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) and proclaim, “O Habeeb of Allah! The son of such and such a person has presented this gift in your majestic court”.RESPECT THAT SHOULD BE ACCORDED WHEN RECITINGTHE DUROOD SHAREEFSayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) 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. (Not a must, can be recited without Wuduh Islamic Academy )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 Wasallim).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 Noble Prophet (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam) (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim).12.
When reading Durood Shareef, you should try and imagine that you are sitting in the august presence of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim). 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 Noble Prophet (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam) (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim). It’s a Sunnah of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (Radiallah Tala Anhu).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 Noble Prophet (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam) (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim), one should use titles of respect and reverence.16. As an advantage one should count (if possible) on one’s fingers as Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) 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.Islamic Academy Note: Above are mostly Mustihibaats. If above conditions cannot be met please do not let them stop you from reciting Durood Shraif. HAZRAT MUHAMMAD MUSTUFA SAW HAS SAID:- 1.'
On the day of Qiyamah the person closest to me will be the one who has sent the most Durood unto me. ' (TIRMIZI) 2.'
On Fridays, send Durood abundantly on me, as it is presented before me. ' (ABU DAWUD) 3. ' If any person, who writing my name, sends darood Sharif to me,then for as long as my name remains in that book, Angels will make Du'a of mercy for him. 'Whoever recites Durood at my grave, I hear it myself. And whoesoever recites it from a distance, Angels present them to me.' 'On the day of Qiyamah, that person will be protected from the frightfulness of Qiyamah who recited durood abundantly to me.' 'For the reciter of durood, Allah sends 70 blessings on him and the angels make dua for him 70 times.'
' On the Day of Qiyamah, besides the Shadow of the Throne, there would be no other shadow.On that Day, Allah Almighty will especially Grant three kinds of people a place under his trone: 1. Whosoever removed some difficulty of my Ummah and solved his hardship 2. Whoever revived my Sunnah 3. And Whoever recited Doorud Sharif on me abundantly 8.' Allah Almighty has appointed a group of angels who travel the world, and in my Ummah, whoever sends salutatations to me, those salutations are presented to me by these angels.'
(IBNE HABBAN) 9.' Recite durood sharief abundantly on me, it will be a means of cleanliness and purity for you.'
(ABU YA'LA 10.' Before whomsoever my mention is made, he should recite durood sharief upon me.' ' Whosoever recites Durood Sharief on me 10 times in the morning and evening, I will intercede for him on the day of Qiyamah.'
(TIBRANI) 12. ' Whosoever recites Durood Shareef a 1000 times on me daily, then before death he will see his abode in Jannah.'
( SA'AYA) 13. ' Whosoever recites Durood Sharief upon me once, the Allah Almighty orders the Kiraman-Katibeen not to record any (minor) sins of the reciter for 3 days.' ' Send Durood Sharief on me, Allah will also send Durood on you.' Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Masood (radi Allahu anhu) narrates that Holy Prophet Mohammed (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said,'On the Day of Qiyamah, the closest to me from among the people will be those that have read the most amount of Durood '. (Tirmidhi: Kanzul Amaal)Holy Prophet Mohammed (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said,'On the Day of Qiyamah, at all places the closest to me will be those that have read the most number of Durood.'
(Sa-daatud Daarain)Holy Prophet Mohammed (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said,'He who sends a single Durood upon me, Almighty Allah rewards him ten times and ten good deeds are recorded in his book of good deeds'.(Tirmidhi)Sayyiduna Anas (radi Allahu anhu) narrates that Holy Prophet Mohammed (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 (spiritually)'. (Mishkaat)Sayyiduna Abu Talha (radi Allahu anhu) narrates that he once entered the Court of Holy Prophet Mohammed (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and noticed that the Habeeb of Almighty Allah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was in a state of great joy and happiness. When he inquired as to the reason for this, Holy Prophet Mohammed (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) replied that,'Why should I not be happy and joyous? At this very moment Sayyiduna Jibra'el Ameen (alaihis salaam) has brought me a message. Almighty Allah has declared, 'O Muhammad!
Are you not pleased with this, that if any of your followers sends a single Durood upon you, I and My Angels (Malaa'ikah) send ten blessings upon that person, ten of his sins are pardoned and ten good deeds are recorded in his favour. He who sends Salaams upon you, I send Salaams upon him, so therefore, notify your Ummah of this good news and tell them that it is now left to them to either increase or decrease the recital of the Durood Shareef'. 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 wasallam). So, Durood Shareef is actually 'a Du'a in praise of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).' Hazrat 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) Hazrat 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'.
Build a palace in jannah virtues of surah ikhlasVirtues of Surah IkhlasFrom Qutaadah ibn al-Nu’maan (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said that a man stayed up to worship Allaah at the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings ofAllaah be upon him) just before dawn and recited “Qul huwa Allaahu ahad,” but did not recite anything else. In the morning, the man came to the Prophet (peace andblessings of Allaah be upon him) and told him about this, thinking that perhaps he was not doing enough. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be uponhim) said: “By the One in Whose hand is my soul, it is equivalent to one-third of the Qur’aan.” (al-Bukhaari, 4627).Ahmad reported from Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri that a man said, “O Messenger of Allaah, I have a neighbour who prays at night and he only ever recites ‘Qul huwa Allaahuahad’” – as if he did not think much of this. HAZRAT MUHAMMAD MUSTUFA SAW HAS SAID:- 1.' On the day of Qiyamah the person closest to me will be the one who has sent the most Durood unto me. ' (TIRMIZI) 2.'
