Rabiul-Awal:Benefits of Darood Shareef!

[Najabat]

The month of Rabi-ul-Awal has been started and this month is very valuable for Ummah since in this month a person come to earth for whom the world is created and who changed the destiny of the darken world into the brighten one.I want to share here some of the limitless benefits of reciting Darood Shareef.

Allah Ta'ala commands in The Quraan Shareef

O people who have accepted Iman! Recite Durood on Rasullah (Surah Ahzaab)

O People of Imaan send Salaat (Durood) and Salaam (Salutation) in abundance on him (Rasoolulah)


Rasulullah (SAW) also quoted the blessings of reciting Darood Shareef.

Recite Durood on me in abundance for it is a purifier for you (Abu Ya'la Musali).

When I am mentioned in the presence of someone, he should recite Durood on me. (Nisai, Tibrani, Abu Ya'la, Ahmad)

Allah bestows ten measures of mercy to the one who recites Durood on me; ten of his sins are forgiven; he is elevated ten ranks and ten virteous deeds are written in his Book of Deeds (Nasai and Tibrani)

Send Durood upon me(PBUH) abundantly because in the beginning you will be questioned in the grave about me(PBUH)

Your Durood will be the cause of light at the Bridge of Siraat (on the Day of Judgement), he should send Durood on me abundantly.

Three categories of people will be be under the shadow of the Sublime Throne on the Day of Judgement when there will be no shadow besides it:

(i) The person who removed a misery of a person

(ii) The person who revived one of my Sunnah (way) and

(iii) the person who sent Durood on me Abundantly.

A great miser is he in whose presence I(PBUH) am mentioned and he refrains from reciting Durood on me. (Tirmidhi, Ibni Hibban, Mustadrak)

Tibraani narrates that Rasulullah said :

"My Shafaa'at (intercession) will be for him who recites daily ten times Durood on me during the morning and ten times during the evening."

Hazrat Umar Farooq (R.A.) said:

"Duas remain suspended between the heaven and the earth. It does not proceed upward as long as Durood on Nabi has not been recited"

According to the Quraan Majeed even Allah Ta'ala and his Angels engage in Salaat (Durood) on Nabi(Sallah-Hoo-Allihi-Wassalam).So importance of Darood Shareef is unquestionable.In respect of the month and holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (Sallah-Hoo-Allihi-Wassalam) recite Darood Shareef as much as possible.

Question?
Some people are of the belief that the month of Safar is full of misfortune and bad luck and it is therefore necessary to take out Sadqa on one's behalf. Is the month of Safar really a month of misfortune ?


Imam reply:
No safar is not hard and bad but it is like other months. Allama Amjad Ali rahmatullah alaihi writes, "Some people take the month of Safar as an unlucky month. They think that the most of the problems come in this month, but such types of thinking is quite wrong as it has been mentioned in the Hadith that "Safar is nothing" It means that neither Safar wrong nor unlucky" (Bahar-e-Shariah).
