HOLY AL
QURAN ( SURAH AL AHZAB, AYAT 56 ) INSTRUCTS MUSLIMS TO RECITE DUROOD AND SALAM TO HOLY PROPHET MUHAMMAD SALLALLAHU ALAYHI WA SALLAM
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)
ASSALATU WA ASSALAMU ALAIKA YA SAYYIDINA MUHAMMAD RASOOL ALLAH SALLALLAHU ALAYHI WASALLAM
ASSALATU WA ASSALAMU ALAIKA YA SAYYIDINA MUHAMMAD RASOOL ALLAH SALLALLAHU ALAYHI WASALLAM
ASSALATU WA ASSALAMU ALAIKA YA SAYYIDINA MUHAMMAD RASOOL ALLAH SALLALLAHU ALAYHI WASALLAM
ALLAHUMMA
SALLI WA SALLIM WA BARIK
ALA SAYYIDINA WA MAWLANA MUHAMMADIN SALLALLAHU ALAYHI WASALLAM WA ALA ALIHI WA AHLI BAITIHI WA SAHBIHI WA SALLI WA SALLIM TASLIMA
COUNTABLE AND UNCOUNTABLE BLESSINGS
A popular form of reciting salawaat is to specify the number of times a particular salaat is intended. For example, in
Chapter Two of Dalaail u'l Khayraat, we come across this salaat:
Allahumma Salli 'alaa Sayyidina wa Mawlana Muhammad-in
'adada makhlooqaatika
O Allah! Bestow blessings on our patron Sayyidina
Muhammad,
as many times as the number of things created by You.
In the same way, there is salawaat on the Holy Prophet Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam as many times as are the (uncountable)
Words of Allah ('adada Kalimaatika), as many times as the Pen Wrote in the
Mother of
Books ('adada maa jaraa bihi'l Qalamu fee
Ummi'l
Kitab), the number of stars ('adada nujoomi's samaa), the number of leaves of trees ('adada awraaqil ashjaar), the number of men and women (adad-an-nisaai warrijaal), and so on.
Allahumma Salli 'alaa Muhammad-in
'Adada kulli qatratin qatarat min Samaawaatika ilaa Ardhika
Min yaumi khalaqtaddunya ilaa yaumi'l qiyaamati
Fee kulli yaumin alfa marrah
O Allah! Bestow blessings on Sayyidina Muhammad
as many times as the number of rain drops
that drop from Your sky to Your earth
from the day You created the earth till the
Day of Judgement
a thousand-fold a day!
Besides As-Salatu'l Ibrahimiyyah,
Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam also taught his sahaba (companions) many other salawaat.
Allahumma Salli 'alaa Muhammad-in
Wa anzilhu'l maq'adal muqarraba 'indaka yauma'l qiyamah
Wajabat lahu shafa'atee.
He said, may blessings and salutations be upon him,
"My intercession is obligatory on whoever recites (this salaat):
O Allah! Bestow blessings on Sayyidina Muhammad
and give him a seat near You on the Day of Judgement".
Dalaail u'l Khayraat contains this salaat but with slightly different wording as follows:
Allahumma Salli 'alaa Sayyidina Muhammad-in
Wa anzilhu'l manzila'l muqarraba yauma'l qiyamah
O Allah! Bestow blessings on Sayyidina Muhammad
and give him a place nearby on the Day of Judgement.
If you send blessings on the Holy Prophet Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam once, Allah sends blessings on you ten times, according to a hadith narrated by Hadhrat '
Abdullah bin 'Amr ibn al-'Aas Rady Allahu 'Anhu and reported in
Sahih Muslim.
Salaat by Imam Shaf'i Rahmatullahi 'alaih
Wa Sallallahu 'alaa Muhammad-in
Kullamaa zakara hu'z-zaakiroon
Wa ghafala 'an zikri hi'l ghaafiloon
And blessings of Allah be on Sayyidina Muhammad
whenever he is remembered by those who remember
and whenever he is not remembered by the negligent.
Does anything make for a more total Zikr than this salaat?
Allahumma Salli 'alaa Muhammad-in
Wa 'alaa aali Muhammad-in
Mil'ad-dunyaa wa mil'al aakhirah
Wa baarik 'alaa Muhammad-in
Wa 'alaa aali Muhammad-in
Mil'ad-dunyaa wa mil'al aakhirah
O Allah! Bestow blessings on Sayyidina Muhammad
and on the family of Sayyidina Muhammad
that would fill this world and the next,
and bestow favours on Sayyidina Muhammad
and on the family of Sayyidina Muhammad
that would fill this world and the next,
Salaat u's Sa'adah
Allahumma Salli 'alaa Sayyidina Muhammad-in
'Adada maa fee 'Ilmillah
Salaatan daaimatan bidawaami Mulkillah
O Allah!
Shower blessings on Sayyidina Muhammad
in the number which is in Your
Knowledge -
such blessings as may continue for ever, eternal as Your
Kingdom.
Hazrat
Abdullah ibn Abbas (RA), a companion of the Holy Prophet (Sollallaahu 'Alaihi wa sallam), says that Sayyiduna Rasoolullaah (sollallaahu 'Alaihi wa sallam) said that if a man recites the following Durood
Shareef once,
Jazallaahu 'Annaa sayyidinaa wa mowlaanaa muHammadan Sollalaahu 'Alayhi wa sallam maa huwa ahluhuu.
Jazallaahu 'Annaa sayyidinaa wa mowlaanaa muHammadan Sollalaahu 'Alayhi wa sallam maa huwa ahluhuu.
Jazallaahu 'Annaa sayyidinaa wa mowlaanaa muHammadan Sollalaahu 'Alayhi wa sallam maa huwa ahluhuu.
"O Allaah!
Give reward to our
Leader MuHammad (Sollallaahu 'Alayhi wa sallam) the reward which is benefitting as he deserves".
then for the coming 1000 days the 70 Angels of Allaah ta'AAla will be busy in writing reward for the reciter of this Durood
