Durood Sharif

Wa Alaikum Salam

Alhamdulillah you got the right one but this Dua is recited in our Salah

Not to sure about reciting it 100 times when going to bed.

Maybe some one can check that.

There are other Duas to recite when going to bed, but nothing 100 times.

Salams

As Salamu Alaikum

I don�t know about Imam Mustaghfir (RA) Sister. I don�t find this particular Hadith. Allah knows best.

I am not say you should not send Salah/Durood on the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) 100 times a day, if you are happy with the evidence you have then Insha Allah go ahead. The rewards are great for sending even one Durood a day. All I am saying that I cannot find evidence from the authentic sources that the number should be 100.

When we set an amount say like 100 times, in one sitting or even split the 100 into 4 or five sittings during a 24 hour period that will be like saying the Salah (Durood) 25 or 20 times in one sitting. Personally I think after we say the Salah (Durood) five or six times, it no longer has any meaning because our mind starts to wander and although we maybe saying the words perfectly, we may not be reflecting on the meaning. I hope you can understand what I am saying.  Here I am talking about reciting the Dua/Durood Ibrahim 100 times a day.

In Islam intention and sincerity are the foundation for all our actions, so I would say the emphasis should be on quality rather than quantity. Do a good deed once properly than 5 times in a haphazard manner. Please people don�t get offended by what I am saying, this is only my view on this matter. Everyone is welcome to comment. I am not criticizing anyone�s method of Ibadah.

Dhikr, Dua and Salah and Salams to the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) are all great acts of worship that will be greatly reward both in this world and the hereafter. Insha Allah

Take care

As Salamu Alaikum Sister Suzanne

Here is something that will help you during your difficult time. First I will quote two Hadith:

Imam Ahmad, Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi reported the following Hadith and graded it Sahih; An-Nasa'i, Ibn Khuzaymah and Ibn Hibban recorded in their Sahihs that Fadalah bin `Ubayd, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "The Messenger of Allah heard a man making supplication in his prayer when he had not praised Allah or said Salah upon the Prophet . The Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said:

�This man is rushing.� Then he called him over and said, to him or to someone else,

�When any one of you supplicates, let him start by praising and glorifying Allah, may He be exalted, then let him send Salah upon the Prophet, and after that let him make supplication as he wishes''

At-Tirmidhi recorded that Umar ibn Al-Khattab (Radhi Allahu Anhu) said: �A supplication (Dua) remains suspended between heaven and earth and does not ascent any further until you send Salah upon your Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam).�

Taking these two Hadith into consideration, I would suggest that you praise Allah Subhanahu wa Ta�ala then recite the Salah/Dua/Durood Ibrahim then recite the Dua I have mentioned below, then recite the Durood again and end by praising Allah Subhanahu wa Ta�ala. You can do this as often as you like (after every salah (prayer) will be a good idea.) Insha Allah Allah Subhanahu wa Ta�ala will lighten your burden and give you relieve from your difficulty. Ameen!

If you need the recitation of this Dua � I have the recitation in both MP3 and Wav formats if you Pm your email address, I can send it to you. If anyone needs the recitation can Pm their email address.

Remember after every difficulty comes ease, verily after every difficulty comes ease.
