THE DIVINE WAZEEFAH
Formula for being closest to the Prophet on the Day of Judgement
Durood Shareef-Salutation
Almighty Allaah says: "Surely Allaah andHis Angels send blessings on the Holy Prophet
صلى الله عليه وسلم
O you who believe! Send Blessings (Durood) and Salutations (Salaams) on the Prophet with worthy Salutation".
(Soorah al-Ahzab: 56)
In
this verse of the Holy Quraan,Almighty Allaah, His Malaa'ikaah and the
Muslims have been mentioned as sending Durood upon Rasool al
laah صلى الله عليه وسلم
So, Durood Shareef is actually
"A Du'a in praise of the Holy Prophet Muhammad
صلى الله عليه وسلم
Hazrat Anas [Radiyal Laahu Anhu]narrates that Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم
said:
"He who reads a single Durood upon me, Almighty Allaah blesses him ten
times, ten of his sin sare forgiven, and he is increased ten times in
stages (internally).
(Mishkaat-Shareef)
Abdullah ibn Ma'sood [Radiyal Laahu Anhu]also narratesthat Prophetصلىالله عليه وسلم
said:
"On the Day of Qiyamah, the closest to me from among the people will be
those who have read the most amount of Durood Shareef".
It is
now evident that the recitation of Durood Shareef (Salawaat) is in
perfect obedience to the Divine Command and in complete conformity with
the teachings of Holy Prophet
صلى الله عليه وسلم
of Islaam.
