Reciting Durood

BLESSINGS UPON THE BEST OF ALL CREATION


Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, "After Hazrat Adam (Alayhis Salam) happened to commit the mistake, as a result of which he was transferred from Paradise to this earth, he used to spend all his time in weeping, praying, repenting, and once he looked up towards the Heaven and prayed ...

' O' Allah ! I beg Thy forgiveness in the name of Muhammad (Peace and blessings of Allah Almighty be upon him).

"Who is Muhammad (Peace and blessings of Allah Almighty be upon him)," asked Allah.

He [Adam (Alayhis Salam)] replied 'When you had created me, I saw the words: LA ILAHA ILLALLAH MUHAMMADUR- RASOOLALLAH written on your ARSH (Throne of Allah Almighty) and since then I realised Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is the supreme creation of Yours because I saw his name alongside yours.' Then the reply came back ...

"He is to be the last of all Prophets, and will be your descendant. If he were not to be created, you would not have been created".

From this narrated hadith we can see that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is the supreme creation of Allah Almighty. The moon, the entire world, the angels of Allah Almighty, and the other magnifi cent creations of Allah Almighty can't even begin to compare with the Glory and Beauty of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.To Allah Almighty, Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is His most dearest and most cherished creation. Imagine then the superiority of the one who follows the Sunnah of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and then reads Durood Sharif in abundance.

RECITING DUROOD SHARIF FOR THE SUPREME CREATION OF ALLAH

The world and everything included in it and Paradise was created for Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. If the world was created for Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, then it follows that our families, the food we eat and the clothes we wear are all given to us by Allah Almighty because of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

We are told in Al-Quran 14:08 '...Allah is Rich (i.e. Free from all needs)...', and does not need these things.

If common sense prevails, then we should realise, that, if Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, was not created then the world and AL-JANNAH would not have been created. Therefore, if we enter AL-JANNAH it is because of our Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

The least we can do in return is to follow his Sunnah and read Durood Sharif in abundance for him.

70 Billion Angels sent for Durood Sharif

In the book 'Aab-e-Kauthar', the Hadith states:

It is reported by Hazrat Ka'ab (May Allah Almighty be pleased with him) that 70,000 angels descend on the mosque of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, daily, surround it and touch it with their heavenly wings, and continue reciting Durood Sharif and leave for the heavens in the evening. They are replaced by another 70,000 angels who stay till dawn to be replaced by another 70,000 angels in the morning, and each angel cannot return after its initial visit. This process will keep continuing until the Day of Judgement. A rough calculation reveals that to date almost 70 BILLION ANGELS have been sent by Allah Almighty to the mosque of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam to read Durood Sharif upon him.

This is indeed an indication of the utmost highest regard Allah Tallah has for his beloved Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. Therefore we must not under-rate the significance, importance and the merits of reading Durood Sharif for Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
