“O Allah! Shower Thy blessings on Hazrat Muhammad ever and ever until Thy blessings are to
be showered. Grant Thy bounty and mercy on Muhammad until Thy bounty is granted and mercy
is showered. The most selected favours on the Spirit of Muhammad amongst all persons, on the

2. name of Muhammad amongst all names, on the heart of Muhammad amongst all hearts. Thy
most bountiful favours on the grave of Muhammad amongst all graves, on the tomb of
Muhammad amongst all the bodies, on the clay of Muhammad (tomb) amongst all clays. May
Allah shower His blessings on Muhammad the best of all that and on the descendants of
Muhammad, on the Companions of Muhammad, on the friends of Muhammad, and on all his
family members, O! Merciful Almighty Allah and Great Merciful”.This Salawat is usually recited in
the graveyard while paying homage to the deceased. When it is recited, Allah showers His
blessings on the deceased. When the sons go to the graveyard they should recite the above
Durood Shareef on the graves of their father and mother, and all the parents who have passed
away.
