Writing durood in Arabic
Question
When writing the name of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) in a book or article, does the translated English phrase "may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him" give the same reward as writing the transcribed Arabic "Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam" after His name?
Answer
As far as possible, write the Durood in Arabic.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
