The Excellence of Sending Durood Pak

The Beloved Master of Madinah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has given glad tidings of Paradise. He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:

مَنْ صَلّٰى عَلَيَّ فِي يَوْمٍ اَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ لَمْ يَمُتْ حَتّٰى يَرَىٰ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ

“Whoever sends Durood upon me one thousand (1000) times in a single day will not pass away until he sees his place in Paradise.”^[1]

This blessed Hadith highlights the immense virtue of abundant Durood upon the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, through which a believer is granted the honor of witnessing his abode in Paradise before death.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Speech intentions

The final Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:

A truthful intention is the best action. ^[2]
