The Promised Messiah (as) on Durood
Through invoking blessings upon the Holy Prophet (saw) … it is my personal experience that divine grace in the shape of wonderful light proceeds in the direction of the Holy Prophet (saw) and is absorbed into his bosom and then issuing therefrom numberless streams of it reach everyone deserving them according to his capacity. Certainly, no grace can reach anyone without the agency of the Holy Prophet (saw). Invoking blessings on the Holy Prophet (saw) brings into movement his throne from which these streams of light issue. He who desires to obtain the grace of God Almighty should invoke blessings on him persistently so that divine grace might be brought into motion.

On one occasion, it so happened that I remained very much occupied with calling down blessings on the Holy Prophet (saw), may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, for a long time, for I believed that the ways leading to God are very fine and cannot be discovered except through the agency of the Holy Prophet (saw), as Allah says too [And seek the way of approach unto Him.]
After a time, I saw in a vision that two water carriers came and entered into my house, one by the outer entrance and the other by the inner entrance carrying on their shoulders water-skins full of divine light and they said [This is on account of the blessings you invoked upon Muhammad (saw)]

Salawat (Durood) has a great impact. It tears away the veils and draws man nearer to Allah. It is a source of strength in all spiritual and worldy affairs
