Visit to Madina Munawwara – Dhurood- Moulana Yunus Patel (rahmatullahi alayh)
During a visit to Madina Munawwarah, I was sitting in the courtyard, on the marble floor outside Masjidun Nabawi, near the Raudha Mubarak, I was looking at the Green Dome, and in deep thought. A doctor, from Johannesburg, walked by. After greeting me with Salaam, he asked me as to what I was watching.I replied: “The flights coming into Madina Shareef.’He replied: ‘No planes are permitted to fly in the vicinity of the Haram ShareefoI explained: ‘The flights are the flights of the angels, who have collected the Durood and Salaam of millions of Muslims,throughout the world, and who are now conveying these to Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم
The Hadeeth Shareef mentions:
‘Verily Allah has certain angels wandering all over the earth. They convey to me the Salaat ofmy Ummah.
This should not be difficult to understand in this day and age of advanced technology. Thousands of people are making phone calls to people in different cities and countries of the world. Within seconds, there is a connection and the person is able to speak.
Rasulullah’s (صلى الله عليه وسلم) Ihsaan (favour) upon us is tremendous. Durood Shareef should therefore become our daily ( صلى اله عليه وسلم ) practice as it develops that connection with NabiUsing the remarkable gift of imagination, one should imagine the angels conveying one’s Durood Shareef in the court of Rasulullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم), or imagine standing before the Raudha Mubarak and personally presenting Salaat and Salaam to the Master of all men, the Seal of all the Prophets, the Crown of the Believers, the Illuminator of the universe, the Leader of the pious, the Protector and Guide of the Believers and the Beloved of Allah Ta’ala, Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم,This noble and lofty Ibaadah” of conveying Salaat and Salaam with sincerity, attention and meditation will create a ‘kaifiyyat’ or special feeling within the heart as well as gain one the Qurb of Allah Ta’ala, since Rasulullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) is the Beloved of Allah Ta’ala.
Moreover, the person who conveys Salaat and Salaam becomes the beneficiary to many, many bounties, in this world and the next. Some of these are :
Sins are forgiven,
Stages elevated in the hereafter,
Protection from Jahannum,
Protection from harm,
Intercession of Rasulullah
Securing the pleasure of Allah Ta’ala,
Attracting blessings in wealth,
Dispelling poverty
Durood Shareef also draws the Rahmah (mercy) of Allah Ta’ala and invites Barakah (blessings) into our homes, businesses, and lives, as well as grants relief from various anxieties.Through the recitation of Durood Shareef, our duas (supplications) are also accepted, Insha-Allah.
