Question: Is it permissible to read Durood-e-Tunjina?

Answer: Yes, it is permissible to read this Dua, in fact it is highly recommendable to read this Dua at a time when experiencing difficulty. It was the habit of one of our pious predecessors to recite this Dua, and he would also encourage others to recite it. {Maktubaat}.

Furthermore, we found reference for this Dua in a book, Saadatur Darain Fes Salaat Ala Sayyidul Konain by Yusuf bin Ismaeel An-Nibhale (Page 240)

However, it should be clarified that according to our research there is no origin of this Dua in the Ahadeeth of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam. Nevertheless, this Dua can be read and has great benefit.

The Durrod is as follows:

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ صَلاَةً

تُنْجِينَا بِهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ الأَهْوَالِ وَالآفَاتِ

وَتَقْضِي لَنَا بِهَا جَمِيعَ الْحَاجَاتِ

وَتْطَهِّرُنَا بِهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ السَّيِّئاتِ

وَتَرْفَعُنَا بِهَا عِنْدَكَ أَعْلَى الدَّرَجَاتِ

وَتُبَلِّغُنَا بِهَا أَقْصَى الْغَايَاتِ

مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْخَيْرَاتِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ وَبَعْدَ الْمَمَاتِ.

"O Allah! Shower blessings on Muhammad, our Master, and his Family such blessings by means of which;

 You relieve us of all anxieties and calamities;

You satisfy all our needs;

 You cleanse us of all evils;

You grant us high positions and ranks by You;

You  lead us to the utmost limit of our aspirations and capacities in whatever is best in this world and the Hereafter;

For indeed You have  full Power over everything.”

                                                              AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
