There are several orders enjoined on the devotee. For example there are multiples of orders about offering<br />
prayers, observation of fastings, offering of zakaat, performance of Haj, revering the prophets and the<br />
pious souls and contemplation etc. That is why, Allah the Glorified is Ahkamul Hakemeen (i.e. the supreme<br />
ordering authority), Creator of the worlds, the True Deity and the ultimate object of all. The entire creation<br />
is seeking His pleasure and in order to gain his favour they put up with what a range of hardiships and<br />
keep, day in and day out busy in his memory. But that Glorified-Being, the mentions about His Holy<br />
Beloved Mohammed, the Allah’s messenger, Peace be upon him that: “And shortly your Cherisher shall<br />
bestow upon you in abundance which shall make you agreeable.” so, we shall denfinitely diversify for you<br />
the Qibla which you are looking up for.” (Al Baqra, part: 14) This shows whereas the entire creation is<br />
seeking Allah’s favour, but He is after gaining favour of his holy beloved (PBUH). Therefore, he<br />
maintains:”Verily Allah and his angels send blessings upon him your blessings.”<br />
According to the Arabic grammer the form of ‘Yasseloon’ or Muzara which indicates persistence and<br />
continuity of action. It means Allah and His angels are always sending blessings upon their prophet and<br />
shall continue to do so in future also and that this verb’s end and termination has not been fixed. The<br />
Second fact the word ‘Salaat’ which appears in this verse is a common word being used in several<br />
meanings and a number of objects are realized out of the same. It is n=mentioned in the book entitted:<br />
‘Roohul Bayaan’ that the aim behind the Glorified Allah’s sending blessing is to escort the eminent master,<br />
peace be upon him,to the spot.This very spot is also called:’the Muqaam-e-Shafa’at’ . The angels sending<br />
Durud means their pleading to Allah the Almighty for elevation of the eminent master (PBUH) in ranks, to<br />
hounour and offer reverence to him (PBUH) and to love even his (PBUH) followers (i.e. Ummah) etc. And<br />
Durud by the believers means to pursue the traits of the eminent master (PBUH) and to remember and<br />
enlogise his (PBUH) noble norals and character.<br />
O dear! The lovers of the messenger, peace be upon him have penned down numerous meanings of the<br />
term: “salaat”, and compiled several books on this topic. Allama Sakhani (R.A.) has stated that meaning of<br />
the term: ‘Salaat’ are subject to change as per the approach of the persons sending Durud. For example<br />
Allah the Glorified, should send, upon the eminent master (PBUH),Darud of his special blessing with his<br />
Divine maginimmity of illuminous glory, so, likewise, the angels shall continue to send Durud upon the<br />
aminent master, as per their respective status, and in the same vein, the believers too. Shall send Durud<br />
according to their ranks and positions.<br />
Penning down the commentary on this Quranic verse Hazrat Ibn-e-Abbas (R.A.) has stated: “the term:<br />
“Yuselloon” has also another form of: ‘Yubbarrekoon, ‘which means they are continuously sending<br />
blessing. Hafiz Ibn-e-Hajar opins that the term. ‘Salaat’ denotes Allah’s enlogy. It is reported in a Hadeeth<br />
that when the verse: “Verily Allah and His Angels------” was revealed (Peace Be Upon Him), we have<br />
already come to know the method of offering salutation –whatever is recited in ‘Attehiyaat: Salutation be<br />
upon you O prophet! And Allahs Benvolence and blessings, so let us know the mode of sending ‘Salaat’<br />
too. So be (PBUH) said: “O Allah! Confer belessings upon Mohammed and upon the off spring of<br />
Mohammed (PBUH).<br />
“O dear! It should be considered that Allah the Almighty ordains to the beliver that Durud and<br />
salutations should be sent upon my prophet, and the person upon whom Durud has to be sent, is hereby<br />
being asked as to in what terms the Durud should be sent upon him-so, the prophetic (PBUH) saying<br />
coneth: “O Allah! May Mohammed and the off springs of Mohammed be blessed and it is a point worth<br />
