Durood or Darood Shareef (from Persian: درود drōd) or Salawat or aṣ-ṣalātu ʿala -n-nabī (from Arabic: الصلاة على النبي) is an invocation which Muslims make by saying specific phrases to compliment the Islamic prophet Muhammad.[1]
Etymology
Durood is a loanword from the Persian term drōd (درود), itself from the Middle Persian pre-Islamic greeting drōt (
),[2] literally meaning 'health', 'well-being', 'prosperity'.[3]
Kinds of Durood
Durood-i-Ibrahimi
One example is Durood-i-Ibrahimi (having a reference to Abraham):
O Allah, let Your Peace come upon Muhammad and the family and followers of Muhammad, as you have brought peace to Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. Allah, bless Muhammad and the family and followers of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family and followers. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious.[4]
Durood-i-Naariya
Proponents of this practice state that if the Durood-i-Naariya is recited daily, it will augment the strength of the plaintiff.[5]
