The Excellence of Reciting Durood Shareef Upon Rasullullah Salallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam and its Importance

bismillahh

Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala has mentioned in the Qur’aan Shareef :

إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّوْنَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ آَمَنُوْا صَلُّوْا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوْا تَسْلِيمًا

Verily, Allah sends Salaat (graces, honours, blessings, mercy) on His Nabi and also His Angels too (ask Allah to confer His blessings upon him.

O you who believe!  Send Salutations (Ask Allah to bless him), and (you should) greet him with a goodly salutation ~ Surah Al Ahzaab 33:56

….

Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala commands all believers to send Salaat and Salaam upon Rasulullah Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam. This is an obligation. This is one Ibaadah (act of worship) which Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala commanded us to do and He and His Angels do the same.

Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala mentions that : Upon conferring salutations on Rasulullah Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam, HE honours Rasulullah Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam, elevates his stages and ranks in the hereafter and sends His Rahmah (His Mercy) unto him.

How much more important does it become for us then, who are the Ummati’s of Rasulullah Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam to regularly send Salaat and Salaam upon Rasulullah Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam?

 …… …… …… …… ……

May Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala give us the Taufeeq to increase our Durood and Salaam upon Rasulullah Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam every single day.

We claim to be Aashiq’s (lovers) of Rasulullah Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam, yet we fail to even move our tongues in praise of Rasulullah Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam?

Rasulullah Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam mentioned : “The one in whose presence I am mentioned and does not send blessings on me, is a miser.” ~ Tirmidhi

 …… …… …… …… ……

A Poet says :

“I find it so strange that a person says, “I remembered my Beloved”

Is your Beloved such a person, that you ‘forget’ and you have to ‘remember’?

A persons Beloved is in his thoughts and mind all the time … If you love Rasulullah Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam and have a Kaamil Imaan then you will remember Rasulullah Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam all the time … You would not need to be reminded of him …

It is his right over us that we should send abundant Durood Shareef upon him regularly. …
