Saying Durood In Nasheeds On Prophet Muhammad's (SWS) Name
Wa alaikum assalam.Saying “peace be upon him” (ﷺ) for the Prophet’s name is an act of adab (respect) and love, not a rigid technical rule that must be repeated every single time his name is heard in every context. In things like nasheeds, lectures, or continuous speech where the Prophet’s name is mentioned repeatedly, it is not required to say ﷺ after every single mention. That would turn a matter of respect into unnecessary hardship, which Islam does not do. If you say ﷺ once when the nasheed starts, or internally maintain respect, that is sufficient. If the name is repeated many times in rhythm or poetry, silence does not mean disrespect. What matters is your attitude and reverence, not mechanical repetition. Islam distinguishes between:Obligatory acts (which have strict rules), and Etiquette (adab), which is flexible and context-sensitive. Allah commands believers to send blessings upon the Prophet, but He does not impose it as a burdensome formula in artistic or continuous settings. Saying ﷺ once is enoughSaying it in your heart is enoughMissing it in a nasheed is not a sin Respect is measured by conscious reverence, not by counting repetitions.
