Blessings Of Durood Shareef

**Julaybib** · 27-07-2007, 12:06 AM

As Salaam Alaykum.

Bismillah Irahman Irahim.

Today is the dawn of Friday and We are taught to remember Our Beloved (Sallallahu alaiyhi wasallam) in abundance. On This Blessed Night. Ulema have stated many blessings in reciting Durood Shareef it is a cure for almost every difficulty be it spiritual, emotional, physical or worldly, the benefits cited by our Scholars are vast.

I have decided to take a few words from one of the lectures of Maulana Abdul Haiy Aabid his lectures are available on the tauheed-Sunnat website.

Note: This is not a word for word translation, for that is very difficult to achieve. Often the whole speech when translated sounds incoherent. Also the speakers often repeat the same phrases when they are reciting the speech in a melodious tone or they speak as if it is in the first person when reciting a hadith of The Prophet Of Allah (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam. I hope you will find it beneficial and may Allah forgive me for the inevitable mistakes I have made.

Blessings Of Durood Shareef

"The Prophet of Allah (Sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) asked the Sahaba. "Who is a stingy and miserly person. The Sahaba responded: " O Messenger Of Allah (sallallahu aliyhi Wassallam) A stingy person is he who has loads of wealth but does not spend it." The Prophet of Allah (Sallallahu alaihi wassallam) responded "No! a Stingy and Miserly person is he in whose presence my name is mentioned and he does not recite Durood."

The Prophet of Allah ( sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) has said that whoever recites Durood upon me for his each recitation Allah Ta Ala will Forgive ten of his sins , his rank in paradise will be raised by ten Degrees, and he will receive ten blessings.

Whoever recites Durood abundantly, will be the closest to The Prophet Of Allah (sallallahu Alaiyhi wassallam).

Whoever recites Durood abundantly, he will be relieved of his debts.

Whoever recites Durood abundantly, at the time of his death he will blessed with the tawfiq to recite the Kalimah Tayabbah.

Whoever recites Durood abundantly, will be given tawfiq to visit the Blessed Grave of our Beloved (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam).

Whoever recites Durood abundantly, will be blessed by seeing the Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) in his dreams.

Whoever recites Durood abundantly, on the day of Qiyamah his face will be shining like the Moon on the 14th night of the month when it is at its brightest.

Whoever recites Durood abundantly, he will be as close to The Prophet Of Allah (Sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) as the Index finger is to the middle finger on a hand.

Whoever recites Durood abundantly, will be given the water from the fountain of Al Kawthar to drink by The Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam).

Whoever recites Durood abundantly, and passes away and is buried in Medina
he will be amongst the first to receive devine mercy and to drink from
al Kawthar,and amongst the first to enter Paradise

Also remember the most Blessed Of Duroods is the Durood Ibrahimi . In this Durood You Not only remember the Beloved Of Allah (Sallallahu alaiyhi Wassallam) But You also remember The direct and Beloved forefather, Of Our Beloved Sallallahu alaiyhi Wassallam) Khaliliullah the friend of Allah Sayiddina Ibrahim (Alaiyhi Salaam).

As Sallam Alaykum.

Sister What can I say may Allah reward you abundantly I was real moved when I read your post what a treasure.Subhanallah. a thousand Duroods a day and you will see your reward in paradise.

Also if it is worldly problems then there is tremendous blessings in that as well.
I spoke to friend last week who is trying to give up smoking he was finding difficult he said everytime he recites Durood Ibrahimi the nicotine cravings dissapear and he feels a sense of peace. So Alhamdolillah there are many other worldly benefits as well.

However main objective should be for the hereafter and increase in our love for the Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi Wassallam).

P.s. I think a framed copy of what the sister has posted should be kept as a reminder.

**Abdul Sattar** · 27-07-2007, 04:10 AM

jazakumullah khair, this is good stuff

**Julaybib** · 27-07-2007, 04:56 AM

Salaams.

Is that not amazing that SubhanAllah If Durood is written in a book then the Angels recite Blessings on the writer as long as the Durood remains in that book.

SubhanAllah yet we lazily use abreviations, May allah give us the Tawfiq to Love and respect our Beloved (sallallahu alaiyhi Wassallam) as he should be loved.

**UmmeGibrel** · 27-07-2007, 02:58 PM

If that is so, then i ask anyone who reads this to read durood sharif at least 100 times so that the person who has made thread and others who pointed out too, get the Jazaa for it in the hereafter. Not to forget me as well as yourself
