Durood & Salam......

To send Durood and Salaams on the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the command of the Glorious Quran and is the beautiful way of Almighty Allah and the Angels. To send Durood at least once is Fardh. In other conditions it varies, but it is a desirable action. By sending Durood, the Mercy of Allah descends, good deeds are increased, ones status is elevated, the problems of the world are removed and The Hereafter is decorated. Without Durood, no Du'a is accepted. It must be noted that without sending Durood, even our Namaaz is incomplete. When reading Durood and Salaam, one must be Paak (in a pure state). Durood and Salaam must be rendered with total submission and respect. That person who recites Durood in abundance will be close to the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and he will gain the Prophet's (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) intercession, the door of Jannah will be opened for him. Both the living and the dead gain benefit from Durood and Salaam. It is permissible to recite Durood and Salaam sitting, standing or sleeping, but it is respectful to stand facing Madina Shareef and humbly thinking and knowing that the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is Haazir and Naazir (omnipresent), you should recite: "As Salaatu Was Salaamu Alaika Ya Rasoolallah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)
