“O Allah! Shower Thy beneficence on our Master Muhammad, the most favoured of Thy Prophets
and the most honoured of Thy chosen persons, whose radiant life is the source of all light and
who is the conferee of miracles and conferee of the most glorious place (Maqaam-e-Mahmood),
and who is the leader of the previous and the later”.
Those who recite this Durood Shareef reach the first place before Allah Ta’ala. It is for this reason
that this Durood is called Durood-e-Awal (First). Those who read this Durood Shareef daily are
rewarded abundantly and all their bad habits evaporate. This Salawat fetches the reciter nearer
and nearer to Allah Ta’ala and brings forth all kinds of delight.
