Transliteration cannot represent every Arabic sound precisely. Use it as a temporary reading aid and listen carefully to the recording. Practise one phrase at a time with someone who can check your pronunciation. Small spelling differences may reflect notation or pauses; follow one guide consistently.

What is Durood-e-Ibrahimi?
Durood-e-Ibrahimi, also called Salat Ibrahimiyyah, is a supplication asking Allah to bless Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his family. This page presents the wording referenced in Sahih al-Bukhari 3370, alongside a translation and a pronunciation aid.
You may also see the name written as Darood Ibrahim or Durood Ibrahim. These spelling differences describe the same topic. The Arabic text remains the reference for reading; translation explains its meaning, while transliteration offers an approximate pronunciation guide.

Quran 33:56 concerns sending blessings and peace upon the Prophet ﷺ. The wording of the prayer displayed here is transmitted in hadith; it is not a separate surah of the Quran.
إِنَّ اللّٰهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلٰى النَّبِيِّ ۚ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا

Questions about learning and sources
Where does this wording come from?
The Arabic wording displayed on this page is found in Sahih al-Bukhari 3370. The source link lets you compare it with the narration. Translation explains meaning; it is not the Arabic text itself.
Why do other books use slightly different wording?
More than one wording is transmitted. For example, Sahih Muslim 405 and 406a contain versions with differences in wording. Follow a complete version with its own reference rather than combining phrases from different narrations.
Where does this fit when learning Salah?
Sahih Muslim places these narrations in the chapter on sending blessings upon the Prophet after the Tashahhud. A qualified teacher can explain the sequence and details of the prayer you are learning.
How do I practise one phrase?
Choose its play button, listen, then repeat aloud. Use the repeat option if helpful. Hide the pronunciation and meaning to practise recalling the Arabic. The controls and practice marks do not prescribe a number of religious recitations.
Can Latin letters show every Arabic sound?
No. Transliteration is approximate. Use the Arabic text and recording together, and ask a knowledgeable teacher to check your pronunciation. Phrase meanings help understanding; they do not show how Arabic words sound.
Which PDF should I use for learning?
The reading edition contains the existing Arabic text and translation or explanation. The new learning sheet adds six phrase blocks, a Latin pronunciation aid, phrase meanings, a practice checklist, and an audio link. Choose the edition that suits your task.
