Reciting Durood

DUROOD TUNJINA

Once there was a pious man Skeikh Moosa Zurair traveling on a ship when it started to sink due to a heavy storm. In his sleep he saw Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam instructed Moosa Zurair to recite Durood Tunjina 1000 times. Moosa Zurair awoke from his sleep and proceeded to recite Durood Tunjina. As soon as he had finished reading 300 times, the storm subsided and the ship was saved.

This Durood is recommended during days of calamity, turmoil and distress. Seventy times a day is essential for relief from our problems and difficulties.

The Significance Of Reading Durood Sharif On Thursday Night And Friday

If anybody reads 100 Durood Sharif on Thursday evening then according to hadith 70 necessities will be met in this life and 30 in the Hereafter.

On every Thursday Allah Almighty sends angels to the earth in the afternoon. They have silver leaves and golden pens which they use to record the Durood Sharif of the reciter from that afternoon of Thursday till the sunset of Friday.

Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam informed the UMMAH, that reading Durood Sharif on Thursday night and Friday is presented to him.

Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam has also informed us the best way to have our prayers answered, and that is to start with and end with Durood Sharif

The most important person in our lives should be Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

It is a sign of the times that we devote so much time to our businesses, our families and maintaining our homes, yet we cannot sacrifice five minutes for reading Durood Sharif upon Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

We know more about unimportant people than we do about our Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. We know the names of many film actors and singers, yet we can't recite a similar number of names of Allah Almighty and our Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, or even ayats of Al-Quran. Why is it that we can sacrifice time for watching television and video, and listening to music, but not for our DEEN?

Al- Bukhari 9:395 states that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam forbids Quil & Qual i.e. backbiting and talking too much about others, yet we are happy to spend time on this activity rather than reading Durood Sharif for 5 minutes a day.

Follow Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam's Sunnah and read Durood Sharif for 5 minutes a day.

'On the Day of Judgement Hazarat Adam (Alayhis Salam) will be dressed in a green robe, sitting near the Empyrean and observing the fate of his descendants.

He will see one of the followers of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam being taken to Hell, whereupon he will call Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, and Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam will say: "I will gird up my loins and rush after the angels to stop them."

The angels would say that they could not disobey Allah Almighty's orders.

Then Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam would debase himself before Allah Almighty and remind Him His Promise with Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam not to disgrace him about his Ummah.

On this Allah Almighty will order the angels to obey Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and take that man back to the scale.

When his virtues will be re-weighed Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam will produce a white paper of holy light from his pocket and place it along with his other virtues.

The scale will turn in the right direction and he will be taken to Paradise.

He will thank Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam who will inform the man that the white paper was his Durood Sharif that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam had preserved for that day'.

SUBHANALLAH...

Al-Quran 3:164 states[i] 'Indeed Allah confessed a great favour on the believers when he sent among them a Messenger [Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam] from among themselves'

Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (May Allah Almighty be Pleased with him) said that I heard Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam say that he would intercede for anyone who recites Durood Sharif upon him, on the Day of Judgement.

If we genuinely expect Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam to intercede for us then we have to make a positive effort, that is, to follow Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam's Sunnah and to read Durood Sharif.

In one narration it states that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam asked a bee on how is it that honey is always sweet.

Then Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam informed his Companions (May Allah Almighty be pleased with them) that it (the bee) has replied that the bees have a leader whom they obey.

When they suck nectar from the flower, their leader starts reading Durood Sharif and the bees join in the chorus.

This recitation transforms the bitter tasteless essence of the flowers into delicious sweet honey.

Maqasid-us-Salikeenp53

When we read Durood Sharif we are elevated 10 degrees closer to the ARSH of Allah Almighty. If we read Durood Sharif in abundance then we should realise that the more we read the closer we will be to Allah Almighty. Take for example the fortunate pious individuals whose NOOR (Light of Islam) can be seen on their faces. Over a lifetime they are able to read many millions of Durood Sharif, resulting in closeness to Allah Almighty.

This is a direct result of ZIKR and especially of reading Durood Sharif in abundance.
