Pomp and Glory; hence it shall be better to request him alone. He is himself sending upon him the<br />
blessings of Durud Shareef and He is well aware about the truth of Durud Shareef.<br />
Secondly, a devotee has no power to present at the hold of Aalam-eRehmat (i.e. the world of blessings), a<br />
gift Rehmat i.e. Durud, befitting his esteemed rank.<br />
Thirdly, even the off shoots of the eminent master peace be upon him are entitled to Durud and<br />
salutations not only from Allah and his angels rather, from all believers. There is a doubt that props up at<br />
his juncture that when Allah and his innocent angels are busy every time in sending Durud, permanently<br />
then that is the need of Durud by the believers?<br />
The answer to this is that the eminent master, Peace Be Upon Him, is all a holy-being and he is<br />
not dependent on Duruds too. But it is a kind favour from Allah the Almighty that he has included the<br />
belivers in a secret practice of himself as well as the angels i.e the practice of sending Durud, so that, if<br />
anyone should send for a single time the Durud, Upon the eminent master, Peace Be upon him, Allah the<br />
Amighty would resort to offering upon that person , His blessing ten times, to forgive his ten omissions, and<br />
let him escale ten stages up side. (Hadeeth)<br />
And in Quran there is order to compensate for anybody’s kind favour, so there is no one greater in<br />
importance as obliger than the eminent master, peace be Upon him, rather he is the greatest of all<br />
obligers. Thanks Allah the Almighty for lakhs of times that he has provided us with an opportunity to send<br />
Durud and salutations upon the eminent master (PBHU).<br />
O dear! Remember that the salaat i.e. Durud occupies a middle position of a secret in between the<br />
lover and the beloved. Similarly, Durud Shareef is a secret between a devotee and a deity. That is why it is<br />
narrated in a Hadeeth that a worship by the Muslims if done without at the Divine threehold. The mystics<br />
and lovers know well of the truth and high place of the Durud. Therefore, it can very well be quessed<br />
through a Hadeeth appearing Tirmidhi Shareef: “It is narrated by Hazrat Ubi Bin Ka’ab (R.A.) that I said: O<br />
Allah’s messeager wants to send upon you blessing excessively so how many of blessings should I resort<br />
to .So he said: as much as you like. I said should it be one-fourth he said: as much as you like, should you<br />
add further it shall be good for you. I said: should it be one-half? He said: as much as you like, should you<br />
add it shall be good for you. I said: should it be three-quarters? He said as much as you like, should you<br />
add it shall be good for you. I said: should I make my blessings all for you? He said: so, all your worries<br />
shall be taken care of and all your sins shall be pardoned.<br />
Allama Sakhavi (R.A.) has narrated what was reported by Imam Ahmed (R.A) that a person<br />
submitted: “O messenger of Allah I wish to schedule my entire time to send upon you (PBHU) Durud so<br />
how would it be?”<br />
The eminent master said: “Under such a condition Allah the Almighty and Glorified shall take care<br />
of all your worries regarding the world as well as the hereafter-----Allama Sakhavi (R.A.) has narrated<br />
reportings revered companions (R.A) of the prophet (PBHU).There is no doubt that several companions<br />
(R.A.) of Prophet (PBHU) might have made such requests. Allama Sakhavi (R.A.) Says: “Since Durud<br />
Shareef comprises of rememberance of Allah and offering reverence towards his holiness, Peace be upon<br />
him then , in fact the matter stands on lines of yet another Hadeeth reproducing the saying of Allah the<br />
