Durood e Ibraaheemi - Salutation on the Prophet

Durood Shareef

Darood Shareef that is recited in the daily prayers contains the name of Hazrat Ibraheem (A.S) that is it is known as Darood Ibraheemi. It is narrated that after completing the construction of Bait Ullah (Khana Kaaba at Makkah), Hazrat Ibraheem (A.S) prayed to Allah that whoever old person from the Ummah of Hazrat Muhammad (اللھم صلي علی محمدً وآلی محم) (the last prophet) offers prayer (two Rakaat) by turning his face to Khana Kaaba, accept my intercession in his favor, Hazrat Ismael (A.S), Hazrat Hajra, Hazrat Sara and Hazrat Ishaq (A.S) said Amen. After this Hazrat Ismael (A.S) in his pray asked Allah to accept his intercession in favor of the youngsters from Ummah of Hazrat Muhammad اللھم صلي علی محمدً وآلی محم who offer prayers (two Rakaat) turning their face towards Khana Kaaba and others said Amen. In this way, Hazrat Ishaq (A.S) prayed in favor of middle-aged person from Ummah of  Hazrat Muhammad اللھم صلي علی محمدً وآلی محم, Hazrat Sara prayed in favor of women of Ummah of Hazrat Muhammad and Hazrat Hajra prayed in favor of young girls of Ummah of Hazrat Muhammad (اللھم صلي علی محمدً وآلی محم) while the rest of them said Amen.

            Ummah of Prophet Muhammad اللھم صلي علی محمدً وآلی محم (i.e. we Muslims) was asked to pray for the family of Hazrat Ibraheem (A.S) in the five prayers as a token of thanking the family of Hazrat Ibraheem (A.S) for the gift of their prayers. The Dua (prayer) that is to be offered in each prayer was taught by Prophet Muhammad اللھم صلي علی محمدً وآلی محم in the form of Darood Ibraheemi. This Darood shows the love of Hazrat Muhammad اللھم صلي علی محمدً وآلی محمfor the family of Ibraheem (A.S). Due to this love, Hazrat Muhammad named one of his sons as “Ibraheem”. Moreover, on the night of Mairaj, Hazrat Ibraheem (A.S) asked Hazrat Muhammad (اللھم صلي علی محمدً وآلی محم) to say Salam to his Ummah; as a response of this salam, Prophet Muhammad اللھم صلي علی محمدً وآلی محم said Salam on them in the form of Darood Ibraheemi.

            This is one of the best Darood as its words were said by Prophet Muhammad (اللھم صلي علی محمدً وآلی محم). So, abundantly reciting this Darood besides 5 prayers is full of blessings and source of worldly and religious blessings, source of pleasure of Allah, changes hardships in ease and Allah’s help accompanies the recite on every step thus his needs gets fulfilled. One gets the right of the intercession of Prophet Muhammad اللھم صلي علی محمدً وآلی محم, blessings in worldly belongings, and death at Eeman (belief) by reciting this Darood Shareef. One who recites this Darood Shareef regularly gets ease in the life hereafter and will enter into paradise.

            The certificate or the validity of this Darood Shareef is proved from the Bukhari Shareef (hadith book) that Hazrat Abdul Reham bin Abi Laila said that they met Ka’ab bn Ajrah who said should I tell you a hadith of Prophet Muhammad اللھم صلي علی محمدً وآلی محم; we said yes. He said, “once we requested to Prophet Muhammad (اللھم صلي علی محمدً وآلی محم) that we know the order to recite Darood o Salam on you but how should we do that? At this Prophet Muhammad ( اللھم صلي علی محمدً وآلی محم) taught us these words:


اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ
.إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ
اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ
.إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

Alla Huma Salli Ala Muhammadiw Wa Ala Aali Muhammadin
Kamaa Sallaita Ala Ibrahima Wa Ala Aali Ibrahima
Innaka Hamidum Majid.
Allahumma Baarik Ala Muhammadiw Wa Ala Aali Muhammad
Kamaa Baarakta Ala Ibrahima Wa Ala Aali Ibrahima
Innaka Hamidum Majid.
