Mr Idrees ne Raipur se sawal kiya hai. Unhone likha hai: "Maulana sahib, in today lecture you mentioned about Durood. Please guide what is Durood, what is its relevance, and how many authentic Duroods are there?" Dekhen, authentic ka sawal nahi hai. yeh koi bhi Durood jo aap ko yaad ho ya kisi kitab mein, bas wahi Durood hai. Yani tarah tarah ke log likh rakhe hain, us ko chhapte hain, bahut khoobsurat. is ka naam Durood nahi hai, wo to business hai.

koi bhi Durood aap ko yaad ho, yaad nahi hai to har kitab mein maujood rehta hai. Wo wahi Durood hai. Durood naam hai spirit ka, Durood naam hai dil ke jazbat ka, kisi alfaz ka naam nahi hai. hata ke aap ko alfaz bilfarz yaad nahi hain, tab bhi aap agar apne dil se is baat ka, yani Rasool Allah ka, ko acknowledge karen, yeh soch kar ke ke unhone kitni museebaten uthayin, tab ja kar yeh yeh ek preserved book of God hamein hasil hui hai. bahut museebaten uthayi hain. Aap ko janna ho to aap sehet ki kitaben padhiye ke kaise kaise kaise museebaten uthayi hain. To koi bhi lafz nahi hai, jo alfaaz hain, un mein se koi bhi alfaaz le lijiye. na alfaaz mile to aap dil se, yaani acknowledge kijiye. wahi durood hai. maine di.
