Salawat . Qur'an . Salah (Prayers) . Qur'anic Verse . Dhikr

What is the most beneficial Zikr to practice throughout the day, aside from Quran and Salah? I have heard of phrases like Astaghfirullah, Ayat e Kareema, and Salawat. If one had to be prioritized above the others, which would it be?

The best Zikr is the Salwaat (ALLAHUMMA SALLI ALA MUHAMMAD WA AALI MUHAMMAD). That is why it is obligatory in every Prayer and no Prayer (Salah) can be valid with out the Salawaat. Hadeeths on the greatness of Salawaat are too many.

Jumu'ah . Salawat

Is it permissible to recite Durood when Prophet Muhammad's (saws) name is mentioned during the Friday Khutbah, considering the instruction by some Sunni scholars not to say it out loud or even whisper it, but only recite it silently in our hearts?

Reciting Durood (Salawaat) is always highly recommended whenever the Prophet (SAWA) is mentioned. It is not enough to remember it in your heart, but we need to recite it. If the situation does not allow to say it loudly,then whisper it.

Salawat . Salah (Prayers)

Why do we recite Salawat in Namaz? When was it first introduced and was it recited by Prophet Muhammad (s) as well?

Salawaat is part of compulsory parts of Namaz as it was tought to the Prophet (SAWA) by Allah (SWT). The Prophet (SAWA) recited Salawaat in every Namaz and ordered Muslims to recite Namaz as he recited.

Salawaat is the greatest Du'a and it includes the main faith in Allah and His Messenger (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS).

Deliberately leaving Salawaat invalidates the Namaz.
