We are sending Praises on the Holy Prophet Muhammad Mustafa ﷺ with the words of the Great Wali Aziz Mahmud Hudayi (may Allah have mercy on him), saying:

“The Master of the Jamaat of the Prophets is You, ya Rasulallah. The full moon in the sky of certainty, it is You, ya Rasulallah. Your Light is the Shining Lamp, and the Universes are in need of You. The Master of the Crown of Miraj, it is You, ya Rasulallah. The Mirror of the Most Merciful, the Light of the Pure Subhan, the Secret of the Seven Meanings, it is You, ya Rasulallah. O Source of Subtlety and Goodness, Your Station is Makam al-Mahmud. The Goal of all Creation, it is You ya Rasulallah. The Spirit inside the Spirits, O Treasure of ‘Ilm and ‘Irfan, My Grandfather and my Pir Sultan, it is You ya Rasulallah. The Opening of the Way of Tawhid, the Guide of the Secret of Tafreed, Hudayi’s hope, his umeed, it is You, ya Rasulallah.”

70 Portals of Mercy :

Whoever recites this Salat-Alan-Nabi, 70 portals of mercy are opened for him.

Excellence of Darood Shareef :

The Prophet of mankind, Prophet Muhammad (may peace and blessings be upon Him) has stated, ‘When the day of Thursday comes, Almighty Allah sends His Angels who have papers made of silver and pens made of gold. They write the names of those who recite Salat on me in abundance on the day of Thursday and the night of Friday.’

[Kanz-ul-‘Ummal, vol.1, pp.250, Hadis:2174]

The blessed Prophet Muhammad (may peace and blessings be upon Him) said:

Whoever recites Salat upon me one time, Allah Azawajal sends ten mercies upon him. And whoever recites Salat upon me ten times, Allah Azawajal sends 100 blessings upon him and whoever recites Salat upon me 100 times, Allah Azawajal will write between both of his eyes that he is free from hypocrisy and the hellfire; and Allah Azawajal will keep him with the martyrs on the Day of Judgement.

- [Al-Mu’jam-ul-Awsat, vol. 5, pp. 252, Hadees 2735]

Madīnah al-Munawwarah , "the radiant city"; or المدينة, al-Madīnah

“Light the world, too long in darkness,

With Muhammad’s ﷺ radiant name.”

Excellence of Picking up a Sacred Paper :

Hazrat Sayyiduna Ali narrated that the Beloved and Blessed Prophet (may peace and blessings be upon Him) has stated, ‘Whoever picks up such a piece of paper, from the ground, on which any name from the names of Allah Azawajal is written, Allah Azawajal will raise the name of that person in ‘Illiyyīn (i.e. the greatest place of souls) and will reduce the punishment of his parents even if they are unbelievers.’

- [Majma’-uz-Zawaid - vol.4, pp.300]

The daily recitation of Durood Shareef has a tremendous effect on the human head, heart, mind and person. It purifies thoughts and intensifies actions. It makes passages for perfect peace and personal satisfaction.

The light of Muhammad (peace be upon Him) has become distributed in millions of pieces and has encompassed the whole world.

The Prophet (peace be upon Him) was like the lightening of that light, when it strikes, all veils of disbelief are torn.

And thousands of monks are influenced by Muhammad (peace be upon Him) and run towards Him.

His Words are all pearls from the Ocean of Reality, because His Heart was united with the Ocean of Truth.

- Rumi

Let my life be sacrificed on this mode of assistance;

When I invoked, ‘Ya Rasulallah’, He arrived for assistance.

Reciting Durood Shareef alleviates worldly difficulties.

The Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon Him) was the finest embodiment of modesty, and deeply abhorred arrogance and haughtiness. Almost all of his companions in the early days were poor and oppressed people, as he was the champion of the downtrodden and the defender of the deprived masses.

His name is spoken till the end of times, because of Him being such a compassionate human being with such lofty character. He was a paragon of virtue and is the best exemplar for the human race. A role model for everyone by setting and leaving such examples behind on how to live your life in the best of ways within your family as well as positively benefitting the world as a whole by starting to live with consciousness and compassion in your present surroundings and environment, helping society, adding to nature - not destroying it and the just treatment of animals around you wherever you may be.

The reward of 11,000 Salat :

Sayyiduna Hafiz Jalal-ud-Deen Suyuti Al-Shaafi’i (Rahmahtullah alayh) said: Reciting this Salat once is equivalent to reciting Salat on the Prophet 11,000 times.

Allahumma salli alaa sayiddina muhammadiw wa alaa aalihee salaatan anta la-haa ahlaw wa huwa lahaa ahlun.

- [Afdal-us-Salawaat ‘ala Sayyidis-Sadaat, p.153]

If one intends to show gratitude for the Divine rewards that has been bestowed, then the best manner of doing this is to read, any Durood Shareef at any given time. Many uncountable gifts which we have received are through the generosity of Sayyiduna Rasulallah (may peace and blessings be upon Him).

Over the hills of Makkah, there was a Heavenly glow. The birth of the final Prophet (may peace and blessings be upon Him) was an earth-shaking event in the year 570 A.D. Born in the most backward and uncivilized city of Makkah in the Middle East, lived only 63 years in this world, remained unlettered throughout, but changed the destiny of the entire humanity. The whole culture of humanity and the existence of human race was revolutionised during these 23 years of his Prophethood and throughout the world he was the only one single person with multiple capacities who could successfully carry out this stupendous task in such a short span of time and amidst untold adversities. He was the final Prophet who uprooted Polytheism once for all.
