Benefits of Durood-e-Tunajjina

Citing “Fazre Munir”, Ibn Faikihani writes in “Manahejul Hasanat” that there was a very pious Muslim called Sheikh Saleh Moosa Jareer.

Sheikh Jareer narrates that once he went on a voyage aboard a ship. At one point, the ship was about to sink in the ocean because of inclement weather.

During this time, Sheikh Jareer was overcome with slumber and was blessed with the auspicious vision of the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in a dream. In the dream, the Beloved Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) taught Sheikh Jareer Durood-e-Tunajjina. Afterwards, the Beloved Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) stated: “Tell the passengers of the ship to recite this Durood Shareef 1000 times.”

Upon awakening, Sheikh Jareer advised all to recite this Durood Shareef. The conditions dramatically improved after the passengers recited the Durood Shareef only 300 times. Almighty Allah Subhanahu Wa Tala'a saved the ship from sinking because of the blessings of this Durood Shareef.

The following is the Durood Shareef:

Allahumma salli ala sayyidina wa maulana muhammadiw wa ala aali sayyidina wa maulana muhammadin salaatan tunajjina biha min jami'il ahwaali wal'afaati wa taqdilana biha min jami'il haajaati wa tutahiruna biha min jami'is sayyiaati wa tarfa'una biha aa'lad darajaati wa tuballighuna biha aqsal ghaayaati min jami'il khairaati fil hayaati wa ba'dal mamaati innaka ala kulli shayyin qadeer bi rahmatiqa ya arhamar raaheemin
