درودِ نبی صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم سے متعلق قرآنی آیات کا تجزیاتی مطالعہ

Abstract

This research investigates the multidimensional concept of Durud al Nabiصلى الله عليه وسلم sending blessings and salutations upon the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم through a rigorous linguistic, exegetical and contemporary lens. The first chapter delves into the etymology, lexical origins, and terminological nuances of Salaah and salaam upon the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, tracing their meanings from classical Arabic roots to their formulation in Islamic theology. It further establishes the juridical status of Durud, grounding its obligatory nature and spiritual necessity through Quranic injunctions, Prophetic traditions and scholarly consensus across Islamic jurisprudential schools. The second chapter offers an in-depth exegetical analysis of Quranic verses related to Durud, with special focus on Surat al Ahzab (33:56). Through a comparative study of Tafsir al Quran al Aẓim by Ibn Kathir and Tafsir Al Tahrir wa Altanvir by Ibn e Ashur (d. 1393 AH), the study unravels the theological and spiritual implications embedded in these verses. It brings to light the interpretive richness of classical scholarship and its relevance in understanding the divinely mandated veneration of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, as emphasized by both exegetes in their unique yet complementary methodologies. The third and final chapter focuses on the textual formulations of Durud, their documented virtues in Hadith literature and their transformative influence on the believer's soul and society. This chapter also reflects on the contemporary spiritual crisis and argues for the revival of Durud as a powerful means of reconnecting with Prophetic love, ethical conduct and divine proximity. Thus, this study not only contributes to Quranic studies and Prophetic veneration but also offers practical insights for reintegrating Durud into modern Muslim consciousness and education.
