Earn Rewards of 80 years of Worship and Forgiveness in 10 minutes

In The Name Of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful. May complete Peace, Blessings and Mercy of Allah be upon the Last Prophet of Islam, Prophet Muhammad (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam), who thought us ways and means of achieving the pleasure and love of Allah SWT. Among such practices of high virtue taught by our Prophet SAW, is the practice of reciting darood / salwaat 80 times on Friday ( Jummah ) after Salatul Asar. MashaAllah, this practice is so easy and simple that it will not take more than 10 minutes, but yet the rewards associated with it are huge and tremendous. We therefore request all our readers to dedicate 10 minutes of their time every Friday and InshaAllah, there will not regret for it in the hereafter, we should remember that if our time is not utilized in doing virtuous acts it would anyways be utilized in acts that would not be beneficial to us in the hereafter, therefore let us take heed and prepare for the hereafter. The below ahadith are widely accepted by many Muhaditheen (scholars of Hadith) and by the Ijma (consensus of scholars) in the past and we therefore, highly recommend our readers to dedicatedly practice it every Friday.

Hadith 1: Abu Hurairah RA reports that the Holy Prophet (SAW) said: Whoever recites the following Durood eighty times immediately after Asr Salaat on Friday, before standing up from his place, Allah will forgive eighty years of sins and grant him the reward equivalent to eighty years of worship.

Allahumma Salle ‘Alaa Muhammadinin Nabiyyil Ummiyyi wa-‘Alaa Aalehi wa-sallim Tasleema.

Easy Method of Reciting the Darood 80 times

The darood could be recited 80 times in any way by using any method. Many people do not recite it thinking that counting 80 times will be difficult, we have therefore highlighted a few methods below that are a very easy and simple.

Method 1: Using fingers of the Right hand: On every finger recite the darood 4 times, you could use the finger joints for the purpose of counting.This would complete the count of 20 times on all the five fingers of the right hand. Repeat this procedure on right hand three more times to complete the count of 80.

Method 2: Using Tasbi(String of Beads): Take a tasbi that has about 100 beads. Count about 20 beads and tie a string after 20 beads as a marker or seperator. Now one can easily count the darood 80 times on remaining 80 beads.
