Excellence of Durud Shareef

The Noble Rasool صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم has stated, ‘Whoever recites Salat upon me one time, Allah عزوجل sends ten mercies upon him.’ (Sahih Muslim, pp. 166, vol. 1)

The Teacher of the Entire Creation

Almighty Al’laah says in the Holy Qur’aan:

“O Beloved! You say, ‘O People (Mankind), If you desire closeness to Al’laah then become obedient to me. Al’laah will grant you His closeness and He will forgive your sins.’ And Al’laah is The Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.” [Surah Al ImranVerse.31]

“Whosoever obeyed the command of the Prophet, has indeed obeyed the command of Al’laah.” [Surah An Nisa Verse.80]

 “O Our Creator! And send in them a Rasool (Prophet) from amongst them, so that he may recite to them your verses (signs), and teach them Your Book and proper knowledge, and (who) will purify them well. Undoubtedly, You alone are the Truly Mighty, The Most Wise.” [SurahBaqara Verse.129]

“It is He who sent down His Prophet with guidance and the True Religion so that he may cause it to prevail over all religions, even though the polytheists may dislike it.” [Surah TaubaVerse.33]

 “And take whatever the Prophet blesses you with, and abstain from that of which he forbids you” [SurahHashr Verse.7]

“And we have sent every Messenger in the language of His own people (so) that he may inform them clearly.” [SurahIbrahim Verse.4]

In connection with this verse of the Holy Qur’aan Hazrat Allama Sulaiman (Alaihimur Rahma) states in Tafseer Jamal:

 “And the Holy Prophet  used to converse with every nation in their own language.” [Tafseer Jamal Pg.512 Vol.2]

In Naseemur Riyaz, the commentary of Shifa Shareef, Allama Shahabud’deen Khufaaji  says,

“Verily the Holy Prophet  used to teach the people their languages.” [Naseemur Riyaz Pg.387 Vol.2]

It should be noted that the Holy Prophet  was sent as the Nabi to the entire mankind. Almighty Al’laah says that which ever Rasool He sent, He gave him the knowledge of the language of His people. Thus it will have to be an accepted fact that Almighty Al’laah taught all the languages of the world to His beloved Prophet

Almighty Al’laah says,

 “And (he) teaches them the knowledge of the book and wisdom, and undoubtedly before it, they were in clear error, and (He) purifies and teaches others amongst them who have not as yet met their formers.” [Surah Jumuáh Verse.2&3]

From this verse it can be understood that the Holy Prophet  taught the Sahaba and even those after them. Commenting on this verse of the Holy Qur’aan, in Tafseer Qurtabi, Hazrat Allama Muhammad bin Ahmad Ansari  says,

“The Prophet  educates all the believers and he also teaches all those believers who will come in the future since his teachings will be until the last time and it will be associated towards him. ! refers to those who were not present in his time and will come after him. Hazrat Abdullah ibn Umar and Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair  said that this refers to those who are non Arabs and Mujahid said that it is referred to all those who brought faith on the Holy Prophet  and ibn Zaid and Muqatil said that it is referred to those who are after the time of the Holy Prophet  and until Qiyamaah who will come into Islam.” [Tafseer Qurtabi Pg.93 Vol.1]

Allama Mahmood Aaloosi  states as follows in Tafseer Roohul Ma’aani:

 “(It refers to) Those who have not as yet been associated with the Sahaba and will be associated shortly. This refers to the Muslims from the time after the era of the Sahaba-e-Kiraam until the last day.” [Tafseer Roohul Ma’aani Pg.93/94 Vol.10]

In Tafseer-e-Madaarikut Tanzeel, Allama Nasafi  states,

 “They are those people who have as yet not been associated with the Sahaba-e-Kiraam and will come after the time of the Sahaba Kiraam. They are those people who will enter Islam until Qiyamaah.”

In Tafseer ibn Jareer, Hazrat Allama Muhammad bin Jareer Tabri  in connection with this verse says,

 “And (some Mufasireen) have said “Wa Akhireena Minhum” refers to all those who will enter Islam until Qiyamaah no matter who they are.”

He also quotes the following narration:

 “Hazrat ibn Zaid  presented the commentary of the verse of Almighty Al’laah, saying that it refers to all those until Qiyamaah who bring faith on Huzoor even if they are Arabs or Non- Arabs.”

Hazrat Allama Abdul Wahab Sha'rani  says that Sheikh Mohiyud’deen ibn Arabi  said,

 “There is not a single person on this earth that has not acquired from the Holy Prophet be it Ambia or Awliyah. Be he of this Shariat or of the past Shariat.”

Hazrat Sha'rani  also says,

 “(It must be mentioned) the assistance of the Holy Prophet is for all the Ambia and Mursaleen and the Aqtaab from the beginning of humanity up to Qiyamaah.

It is obvious from the verses of the Qur’aan Majeed and the authentic books of Tafseer that the Holy Prophet  is the teacher of the entire universe and Almighty Al’laah has taught every language to the Holy Prophet .

Ya Allah عزوجل of Mustafa  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم! We make sincere Dua that  blesses us all with strength in Imaan and true love for the Holy Prophet  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلمand for all those who follow that which has been taught and commanded by Him. Amin! (Source: Extracted from Proper Sunni Beliefs)
