Hazrat Muhammad (SAWW) is the last prophet of Allah and we are the ummat of the Prophet (SAWW). There are many ways for the ummat of the Prophet (SAWW) to show love for their beloved prophet. Sending blessings upon the Prophet (SAWW) via reciting darood is also a way to show your love for our Prophet (SAWW).
اَللّٰھُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰی مُحَمَّدٍ وَّعَلٰٓی اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ کَمَا صَلَّیْتَ عَلٰٓی اِبْرَاھِیْمَ وَعَلٰٓی اٰلِ اِبْرَاھِیْمَ اِنَّکَ حَمِیْدٌ مَّجِیْدٌ اَللّٰھُمَّ بَارِکْ عَلٰی مُحَمَّدٍ وَّعَلٰٓی اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ کَمَا بَارَکْتَ عَلٰٓی اِبْرَاھِیْمَ وَعَلٰٓی اٰلِ اِبْرَاھِیْمَ اِنَّکَ حَمِیْدٌ مَّجِیْدٌ
“O Allah, let Your Blessings come upon Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) and the family of Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious.”
Prophet (SAWW) said, “On Friday, send Durood abundantly to me, as it is presented before me.” (Abu Dawud)
The Prophet Muhammad (SAWW) stated, “I pray for all those who recite Darood on me.”
Both of the above mentioned ahadiths show the importance of the recitation of darood shareef. For a Muslim, it is a great moment when his/her recitation of darood is presented before the Prophet (SAWW) as it is really a big thing. Moreover, the second hadith shows significance of the recitation darood shareef that Prophet (SAWW) will pray for those who recite darood. It is surely a great reward.
Recitation of darood shareef gives peace to the human mind, heart and soul. It is a way of showing your love for your beloved partner. Also, there are many rewards and benefits of the recitation of darood which are as follow;
When we recite darood shareef before and after dua then our dua will not be kept back. The Prophet (SAWW) said, “Every dua is kept back until you send the blessings upon the Prophet (SAWW).” This hadith not only tells us about benefit of reciting darood shareef but also shows us the significance of darood shareef.
Prophet Muhammad (SAWW) said, “On the day of Judgment the person closest to me will be the one who has sent the most Durood into me.” (Tirmidhi). This hadith shows us that on the day of judgement we will be closest to our Prophet (SAWW) if we will recite more and more darood shareef. This hadith also marks the importance of the recitation of darood shareef.
Darood Shareef is recited by the Muslims to send blessings upon the Prophet (SAWW) and every Muslim must learn darood shareef as it is important to do so.
