What is Dua & Durood Shareef in Islam?


Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam….
 صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم

is written after the name of our Beloved Holy Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم .The Muslims mention read and write this expression  also known as Durud/Durood Shareef [Arabic: Salawāt] [Persian: درود ] after mentioning the name of their Beloved Prophet Muhammad
[Peace be upon him]. Which is done to honor and respect him.

Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam….
 صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم

The meaning of it is:
 "May the Blessings and the Peace of Allaah Almighty be upon him. Another expression that is alternatively used is:
" As-Salaatu Was-Salaamu
 ‘Alaieka Yaa Rasool al-Laah." 
This expression means: "On Him [Muhammad] are the blessings and the peace of Allaah Kareem." 
 
Allaah  Almighty has ordered Muslims, in the Qur'aan, to say such an expression. Muslims are informed that if they proclaim such a statement once, Allaah Kareem will reward them ten times.

Durood’ is a Persian word that has been modified in Urdu language. The equivalent for ‘Durood’ in Arabic is ‘Salah’, which means Blessings and Mercy.

Conclusion
Dua' and Durood are at the very root of our Deen and as such should not be neglected. Asking God Almighty to send Salaat Alan Nabee [Durood Sharif] develops love in the heart for their Beloved Prophet

All the true believers sacrifice themselves and their possessions in the way Fi Sabeel lil laah hoping to please Allaah Almighty.
 
 We pray that God Almighty continue to allow us to be true to our Deen and always remain close to those who love Him.
