REFERENCE #32: <br /> <br />Durood Taaj is disfavored and reciting it is not permitted. (Fazaa'il-i-Durood Shareef, pg 73 and Tazkiratur Rasheed vol. 2, pg 117). <br />Allamah Maulana Kaukab Noorani: <br />I say two things with this regard that ‘Fazaa'il e Aamaal with me is published by Maktaba Arifeen in Karachi previously named as Tableegh e Nisaab. Moreover, I tell you that I have the old version and in the new version they have omitted discarded the chapter of Darood Shareef. I have with me the older version of this book.The one that is available in the market right now does not have this chapter in the book. <br />The new version of this book ‘Fazaa'il e Amal’ has no portion on Darood Shareef, they have discarded this chapter totally….Why! It is written…..Although God [Allaah Ta'alaa] has made them write with their own pen As Salat o Was Salaam Ya Nabee Allaah, As Salaat o Was Salaam Ya Rasool Allaah-they have separated it now it is available in new book form both in Urdu and English versions. <br /> <br />Here I have with me the older version <br /> In it there is the third Chapter where he talks about the Hadees which warn for the punishment for not reciting Darood Shareef. He writes clearly that Darood e Taj and Darood e Lakhi etc which were written by others were not liked by him meaning Rasheed Ahmad Gangohi Saahib. This Darood Taj was recited by Hazrat Abu Al Hassan Shazli [Rahmatul Laah Alaieh] in front of the Holy Prophet [Peace be upon him] and Allamah Ahmad Saeed Kazmi has written a whole book on Darood e Taj and he is saying that it was not liked by Gangohi Saahib…. <br /> <br /> Though the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him) liked it but here they are saying it should not be recited because Gangohi disliked it. This is not a proper way and I am presenting his words. Same words I read in Tazkra tur Rasheediyah, on pages 117 & 280 0n both places it is written and I will show them too: <br />He (Gangohi) disliked Darood e Taj and and Darood e Lakhi were not likely favored by him for being written by others and he considered them against the Shariah. Same is written in Tazkra tur Rasheediyah Volume II that Darood e Taj and Darood Lakhi were not liked by Gangohi so should not be recited. You can imagine their Haal [Spritual Condition] and personality who dislikes and disfavored the reading of Darood Shareef and forbid to recite them.
