ILA SIRAATIKAL MUSTAQEEMI SALLAL LAAHU ALAIHI WA ALA AALI WA ASHABIHI
HAQQA QADRIHI MIQDAARIHIL AZEEM.
"O Allah! May Thy grace, peace and blessings rest on
Muhammad, our Master, who opens that which is closed, and closes that
which is preceded, who helps truth with truth, and who guided mankind to
Thy straight path. May blessings of Allah be on him and his Family and
Companions as according to his exalted position befitting his merit and
his high rank".
Actually, this Durood Shareef is in the Holy Quran; but
then it was kept a secret. Hazrat Abu-Bakr Siddique (radi Allahu anhu),
the first Caliph of Islam, used to recite it daily without fail. Some
narrations say that it is because of this Durood that he was awarded the
title of "Siddique" which means "Testifier to the Truth".
Hazrat Abul Muqqarab (radi Allahu anhu) says that a
man's total sins will be washed away if he recites Durood-e-Fath for
forty days continuously.
Hazrat Shaikh Muhammad Bakari (radi Allahu anhu) says
that the recitation of Durood-e-Fath once a day relieves the reciter
from the Fire of Hell.
Hazrat Syed Ahmed Hillam (radi Allahu anhu) says that
Durood-e- Fath was the most favourite routine of Hazrat Ghaus-e-Azam,
Sheikh Abdul Qaadir Jilani (radi Allahu anhu) of Baghdad Shareef.
The great Saints also say that Durood-e-Fath is actual and real light.
Hazrat Sheikh Yusuf Bin Ismail (radi Allahu anhu) says
that this Durood Shareef is the greatest mystery of Allah. It brings
100% success and happiness to the reciter. In fact, this Durood Shareef
brings prosperity and favour and solves all the complex problems by the
Grace of Allah. When a man recites this Durood Shareef, the Angels of
Allah surround him, mercy covers him and peace starts descending on him.
4. DUROOD-E-SHAFI'I
ALLAHUMA SALLI ALA MUHAMMADIN KULLAMA ZAKARAHUZ ZAAKIRUNA WA KULLAMA GHAFALA UN ZIKRIHIL GHAFILUN.
"O Allah! Shower blessings on Muhammad and his children
whenever he is remembered by those who remember him, and shower
blessings on Muhammad and family whenever he is not remembered by the
negligent, and grant him peace constantly in abundance".
This Durood Shareef is called Durood-e-Shafi'i because
Hazrat Imam Shafi'i (radi Allahu anhu) used to recite it constantly and
he received glad tidings of Jannah in this world. This Durood Shareef is
of a very great significance. It brings tremendous prosperity, health,
happiness and success in this and the next world.
Hazrat Allama Sakhavi (radi Allahu anhu) has written in
his book that Abdullah bin Abdul Hakam saw Hazrat Imam Shafi'i (radi
Allahu anhuma) in a dream after his death and inquired about life after
death. Imam Shafi'i (radi Allahu anhu) told him that because of the
continuous recitation of the above Durood Shareef, Allah Ta'ala gave him
the most exalted position of the highest grade in Heaven and forgave
him. Hazrat Imam Muzni (radi Allahu anhu) has also narrated exactly the
same story.
This Durood Shareef is of a very great significance. It
brings tremendous prosperity, health and happiness and success in this
world and the Aakirah.
5. DUROOD-E-DAWAAMI
ALLAHUMMA SALLI ALA SAYYIDINA MUHAMMADIW WA ALA AALI SAYYIDINA
MUHAMMADIN ADADA MA FI ILMIL LAAHI SALAWAATAN DAA'IMATAN BIDAWAAMI
MULKILLAH.
"O Allah! Shower blessings on Muhammad, our master, in
the number that is in Thy knowledge such blessings as may continue for
ever eternal as Thy Kingdom".
This Durood Shareef is of a very great value. If it is
recited only once, it amounts to all the rewards of all the Duroods. By
reciting this Durood, one gets peace of mind and success in this world
as well as in the next. After reciting this Durood Shareef, the reciter
can claim that he has recited almost all the Duroods which are in this
world known to the people. During days of upheavals, this Durood Shareef
brings relief, success and true happiness. It is mostly the Saints and
very pious people who recite this Durood after every prayer. They also
recommended this Durood Shareef to all the needy.
6. DUROOD-E-TUNAJJINA
ALLAHUMMA SALLI ALA SAYYIDINA WA MAULANA MUHAMMADIW WA ALA AALI
SAYYIDINA WA MAULANA MUHAMMADIN SALAATAN TUNAJJINA BIHA MIN JAMI'IL

"O Allah! Shower blessings on Muhammad, our Master, and
his Family such blessings by means of which Thou may relieve us of all
anxieties and calamities. Thou may satisfy all our needs. Thou may clean
us of all evils and thanks for which Thou may grant us high position
and high rank and status in Thy presence, and Thou may lead us to the
utmost limit of our aspirations and capacity in whatever is best in this
world as well as in the world Hereafter, as Thou has the full Power
over everything".
This Durood Shareef is always a cure for all calamities
in the world of worldly affairs. It was taught by Sayyiduna Rasoolullah
(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) himself. To recite this Durood Shareef
70 times during days of calamity, turmoil and trouble, is a must. It
works wonders.
The great Scholar, Saint, Jurist and author, Imam
ibn-Faikihani (radi Allahu anhu) says that there was once a pious man
called Sheikh Moosa Zareer (radi Allahu anhu). He embarked on a voyage
by ship. Due to a heavy storm, the ship started sinking. All the
passengers on board started crying and clamouring, but Sheikh Moosa
Zareer (radi Allahu anhu) went to sleep. He saw the Holy Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) in his dream and the Prophet (Sallal Laahu
Alaihi Wasallim) directed him and the passengers to recite
Durood-e-Tunajjina 1 000 times. Sheikh Moosa Zareer (radi Allahu anhu)
got up and started the recitation. As soon as he finished 300 Durood
Shareefs, the storm subsided and the ship was saved. The other ship on
the high seas sank, but this ship reached its destination safely and
soundly. This miracle was a sufficient eye-opener for the members of the
ship. It was by the Grace of Allah Ta'ala and Durood-e-Tunajjina that
all were saved.
All the Saints have unanimously given verdict that
Durood-e-Tunajjina is the best cure of all ills and all calamities of
this world.
7. DUROOD-E-QURAANI
ALLAHUMMA SALLI WASALLIM ALA SAYYIDINA MUHAMMADIW WA ALA AALI WA
ASHABI BI ADADA MA FI JAMI'IL QURAANI HARFAN HARFAN WABI ADADI KULLI
HARFIN ALFAN ALFAN.
"O Allah! Send your blessings and peace on Muhammad,
our Master, and on his Progeny and his Companions according to the
number of every letter in Quran and let each letter carry thousands of
blessings and salutations in it".
This Durood Shareef is a very sacred one. If it is
recited after every prayer, it is said that the reciter will receive the
Sawaab equivalent to the recital of the entire Holy Quran. After
reading the verses of the Holy Quran, this Durood Shareef should be
recited 3 times.
8. DUROOD-E-SADAQAH
ALLAHUMMA SALLI ALA MUHAMMADIN ABDIKA WA RASOOLIKA WA SALLI ALAL MU'MINEENA WAL MU'MINAATI WAL MUSLIMEENA WAL MUSLIMAATI.
"O Allah! Shower Thy blessings and beneficence on
Muhammad, Thy creature and Thy Messenger, and shower beneficence on all
men of faith and women of faith, and Muslim men and Muslim women".
This Durood Shareef is a special one. Hazrat Abu Saeed
Khudri (radi Allahu anhu), a close companion of the Holy Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaihi Wasallim), says that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu
Alaihi Wasallim) said: "Whoever does not possess wealth to give in
charity, should recite this Durood in his Du'a. It will become a source
of (spiritual) cleanliness for him".
Hazrat Abu Huraira (radi Allahu anhu) says that the
Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) said: "Allah has said, 'If
you spend I shall spend on you'". This means that if you spend your
money on others - the poor, sick, needy and the orphan - Allah will give
you in abundance. But, what if a man has nothing to give in charity? By
reading Durood-e-Sadaqah, it will suffice.
9. DUROOD-E-WALI
ALLAHUMMA SALLI ALA MUHAMMADININ NABI YIL UMMI YI WA AALIHI WABAARIK WA SALLIM.
"O Allah! Send blessings on Muhammad, our chief the unlettered Apostle and his Family Thy favours and thy Salutations.
Hazrat Shah Wali'ullah Dehlvi (radi Allahu anhu) said
that his father commanded him to recite the above Durood Shareef as it
was the best one.
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu), a close
companion of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim), has
said that if a person recites this Durood eighty times on Friday (after
evening prayers), then his sins equivalent to 80 years will be forgiven.
This is a very important Durood Shareef which brings forth immediate success and satisfaction to the heart and the mind.
Hazrat Zarar bin Auzar (radi Allahu anhu), another
companion of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) says that
he used to recite this Durood Shareef and fight with the non-believers.
In every battle, he saw that success kissed his feet, and he never lost
any battle on any day.
10. DUROOD-E-ALI
ALLHUMMAJ AL SALAWAATIKA WA BARAKAATIKA ALA MUHAMMADININ NABI YI WA
AZWAAJIHI UMMAHAATIL MU'MINEENA WAZURRIYATIHI WA AHLI BAYTIHI KAMA
SALLAYTA ALA IBRAHIMA INNAKA HAMEEDUM MAJEED.
"O Allah! Bestow blessing and bounty on our Prophet and
on his wives, who are the Mothers of the Faithful, and on his
descendants and on the members of his Household in the manner as Thou
conferred blessings on Prophet Ibrahim. Verily, thou art the
Praiseworthy and the Glorious".
Hazrat Ali (radi Allahu anhu) said that if any one
wishes that he should get the maximum reward for one Durood alone, then
he must recite the above Durood Shareef.
11. DUROOD-E-GHAUSIA

"O Allah! Send thy blessings on our Master, Muhammad,
whose light was created before anything else in this world and whose
appearance became mercy and signal boon for all the creatures,
equivalent to all those created previously and hereafter equal in number
with the lucky and unlucky ones; and send thy blessing and bounties on
him in the number which is impossible to be counted even, and which may
be spread all over, and also that kindness and mercy which has neither
beginning nor end, and which is always fresh and fine with your
kindness, and the same blessings on his Family and Companions
permanently".
This Durood Shareef was very dear and near to Hazrat
Ghaus-e-Azam, Sheikh Abdul Qaadir Jilani (radi Allahu anhu) of Baghdad
Shareef. He ended all his lectures, recitations and writings with this
Durood. It is for this reason that it is called Durood-e-Ghausia. It is
very sacred, very important, very effective and 100% success.
The Saints says that if a man recites this Durood
Shareef 10 times in the morning and 10 times in the evening, Allah
Ta'ala fetches him nearer and nearer and loves him a lot. The reciter
becomes a Saint himself. Apart from this, he will be safe from all the
catastrophes of the world. The Mercy of Allah will start pouring upon
him endlessly.

of Mecca and of Madinah, who is the wearer of the Holy Cap, the one who
ascended the Heavens and fought holy wars and achieved boons and
bounties, the one who has place of praise and who is in-charge of Kausar
Fountain, and one ever-bowed in supplication of Allah (and Allah
alone)".
Hazrat Sheikh Mohi'uddin Ibn-e-Arabi (radi Allahu anhu)
popularly known as "Sheikh-e-Akbar" has disclosed a number of benefits
of this Durood. It is the most sacred, accepted and appreciated of
Durood Shareefs.

"O Allah! Shower Thy beneficence on Hazrat Muhammad,
Thy slave and Thy Messenger, the Prophet who could neither read nor
write, and on the House of Muhammad. O Allah! Shower Thy blessings on
Muhammad, and on his House such blessings as may earn Thy Pleasure, and
as may recompensate him as will be goodly need of his merit, and grant
him the way of approach and elevate him to the most glorious positions
which Thou has promised, and give him on our behalf the most beautiful
requital and a reward more excellent than one granted by Thee to any
Prophet on behalf of the people, and shower blessings on his brethren
from amongst the Prophets and Righteous, O! The Most Beneficent".
Hazrat Ibn Abi Assim (radi Allahu anhu) narrates that
Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) said that if any
person recites the above Durood Shareef on 7 Friday nights for 7 times,
then the intercession of the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) is
