Almighty and Glorified that: the person whom my rememberence should detrer his seeking my blessings
from calling prayers(i.e.Duva) i.e. if he finds no time for Duva due to excessive rememberence of the
Alimighty, then I shall be bestowing my blessings far wore than what the callers of prayers do demand.”
The compiler of the book entiled: “Mazahere-e-Haque’ maintains that “The reason behind it is that
whenever devotee diverts his demand and inclimation through the favourite things of Allah the Almighty
and holds high the preference in Allah’s pleasure and curtails in his own demands over all his vitalities, so,
“He who surrenders to Allah, Allah becomes his sponsor.” In this Mazahar-e-Haque has also narrated that
when the peer sheikh of sheikh Abdul Haque Mohaddis Dehlavi was saying adean upon his going to
Ziyarat of Medina- Munauwarah, pointed out with emphasis that remember and beware that: In this
passage of your journey there is nothing next to performance of the obligatory Faraez as vital as Durud
Shareef upon the head of the universe and the proud of the existing beings. It is binding upon you to pass
all his time in the same pursuit and you should not get busy in anything else. When asked if there was any
quantity you should keep recitation of the same to such an extent that your tongue should be greased with
it and get yourself lost into its colours,” Similarly it is narrated by Hazarat Aayesha (R.A.) she says that the
messenger of Allah had stated that “No sooner a person sends upon me blessing then the Benificent, the
Mighty and Glorfied hence the Cherisher, All mighty sayeth to carry it to the grave of his Devotee who shall
pray for his pardoning from sins and the same shallmake his eyes cold.
In a reproduction in Mawaheb Laduniya from Tafseer-e-Quseri that if on the day of resurrection a
believers virtues shall lose weight the pardon-seeker of the sinners (i.e. shafeeul Muznebeen) the eminent
master, peace be upon him, shall take out a paper of the size of the finger-tip and put the same into the
Meezan (i.e.the balance-scale) which shall reduce the vitus hand of the believer heavier. That believer
would say: I sacrify my mother and father upon you; may I know who your holiness are? What a fine look
and attributes you are possessing. He (PBUH) would say I am your prophet and it is the Durud you had
recited upon me which I have repaid at time of your need .O dear! Here I am going to quote meanings of a
couple of Hadeeth.There are innumerable Hadeeths extending the good aspects of Durud-Shareef. It is
stated by the revered master, peace be upon him, that whoever should send upon me ten times Duruds in
morning as well as eveining, to him my Shafa’at (i.e. a pardoning plea) shall positively be made available
on the day of resurrection. One, who shall make a practice of sending the maximum Durud, shall gain on
the day of resurrection the nearest spot to the eminent master (PBUH) .Allah the Almighty sends Duruds
ten times upon those who send upon the eminent master PBUH Durud for a single time. One who owns
nothing to offer in ‘Sadaqua ‘(i.e. charity) he should resort to recitation of Durud. The Aamal-Nama (i.e.the
statement of deeds) of those sending Durud are scribed virtues weighing equal to the weight of the Ohad-
Hill. Allah gets pleased with those reciting Durud; He spells blessings upon them and accepts their
worship.Those reciting Durud, find a special Noor taking birth into their hearts, that illuminates their hearts
and gives way to Allah occupying a place there, and so it smoothens the way to the sighting (i.e. Deedaar)
of the eminent master, Peace Be Upon Him. Whosoever saw him, has sighted the Truth.”Anyone who has
seen me has seen the Truth- (Muslim Shareef).
The Durud-e-Ibrahimi which is reciting while offering Namaz prayers is a better form of the Durud.
Do send Durud upon the off springs of the eminent master PBUH. The Durud-e-Taj’ has abundances of
superior values and blessings. The Durud-e-Taj is out and out virtuosity and a bliss, repels calamities and
evils and it contains goodness and a bliss, it is a safety from enemies and a guard against the mischief-
mongering of the jealous.
