Answer:
Durood salutations
In the name of Allah, We
praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah
guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide
them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam,
no dai, nobody!) worthy of
worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His
slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Allah says in
the Holy Quran Chapter 33 Surah Ahzaab verse 56: Allah and His Angels send
blessings on the Prophet: O ye that believe! Send ye blessings on him and
salute him with all respect.
When the above aayah of
the Quran was revealed the companions asked the Prophet (saws) how should the
believers send salutations to him (saws).
Abu Mas'ud
Al-Ansari reported the following account from Bashir ibn Sa'd: "I asked
Prophet (saws) 'O Messenger of Allah
(saws), Allah has commanded us to invoke
blessings upon you. How should we do
it?' The Messenger of Allah (saws) remained
silent until we wished we had not asked him.
Then he told us to say,
'Allahumma
salli 'ala muhammadin wa 'ala ali muhammadin kama sallayta 'ala ali
ibrahima, wa barik 'ala muhammadin wa
'ala ali muhammadin kama barakta 'ala ibrahima wa 'ala ali ibrahima; fil 'alamin, innaka hammidum majeed. {Narrated by Muslim.}
(O Allah,
bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You blessed the family of
Ibrahim, and give baraka to Muhammad and
the family of Muhammad as You gave baraka to Ibrahim and the family of
Ibrahim. In all the worlds, You are
worthy of Praise and Glorious)
Whatever written of
Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever
of error is of me alone. Allah Alone
Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
Your Brother in Islam,
