THE EXCELLENCE OF DUROOD SHAREEF FOR THE UMMAH AS EXPLAINED IN THE HOLY QURAN AND AHADITH Almighty Allah says: “Surely Allah and His Angels send blessings on the Holy Prophet صلّى اللّـه عليه و سلّم . 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 صلّى اللّـه عليه و سلّم . 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 صلّى اللّـه عليه و سلّم 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 صلّى اللّـه عليه و سلّم 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) Jibrail (alaihissalam) once came to The Holy Prophet صلّى اللّـه عليه و سلّم and said Allah has given me the knowledge to count every leaf on earth,every fish in the sea, every star in the sky and every particle of sand on earth, but there’s only one thing I cant count. Prophet صلّى اللّـه عليه و سلّم asked Jibrail {a.s} what is it ? Jibrail (a.s) replied,When one of your Ummah recites Durood to you the blessing Allah showers upon him becomes impossible for me to count. --
