I did this today, but only halfway, unfortunately i didnt do it all , would it be okay if i slowly got to 80 after a few weeks of practise?

Allah

is Most Mericiful, keep trying brother and Insha'Allah you will get there. Even though you didn't finish the 80, you still did 40 or so which is, Alhamdulillah, Insha'Allah a lot of reward for you as reciting durood, regardless of time & day, carries much reward Insha'Allah. Then, there are extra rewards for reciting durood on Friday, again regardless of which time on Friday you are doing it. So even if someone doesn't get to finish the 80, they may or may not get the reward which is promised for the 80 (Allahu'Alam), but they most definitely Insha'Allah got the reward for reciting this much durood! Insha'Allah. So, even if one doesn't get to finish the 80 and has to get up before for whatever reason, it's not like they did it for 'no reason', they still earned much reward Insha'Allah. Though of course the reward for the 80 is absolutely extraordinary so our full focus, intention, and effort should be to complete the 80 to the best of our ability Insha'Allah.

When I started doing this a little while ago, it seemed like a very 'hefty' task. I had an image of the durood saved on my phone and I read it off of there and had no intentions of memorizing it, rather I was just trying to make sure that I am reading it properly. Alhamdulillah, in a couple of weeks time, I had it memorized without even realizing it and now I recite this durood often, on a daily basis, when I'm out and about, Alhamdulillah. Not saying so to boast but rather just reminding everyone that don't limit yourself to reciting this durood on Fridays after 'Asr only rather make it part of your daily dhikr routine also, Insha'Allah. It also doesn't seem like such a 'hefty' task anymore. I just sit after 'Asr, start reciting it while using my fingers to count. 4 times on each finger of right hand + thumb (so 20 total per 'round'), when one 'round' is complete, close/fold your thumb on your left hand, then after another 'round' on your right hand, close your index finger on your left hand [so each closed finger signifies 20 count], then so and so forth until you close your middle then your ring finger on your left hand, that means your 80 are Insha'Allah done. Then I just recite it another 3 times or so for good measure, in case I missed any by mistake, ask Allah

to accept my recitation of this durood and forgive my mistakes, and then go about my routine. I definitely don't get to do it every week though I would like to, but circumstances don't always allow it. May Allah

give me and all of us the taufeeq to do this diligently every week. Ameen.

For me it takes about 15 mins if I do it at a 'fair' pace (not too slow but not in 'fast forward' either), 20 min if I do it a bit slowly. In the beginning it took longer than that. Just think about it, even if it takes someone just starting to do this 30 min or even an hour to do this... for what we are getting in exchange, it is not a bad deal at all.

.

The other thing is to have full, 100% yaqeen (belief, faith) that as soon as you finish the 80th recitation of this durood as mentioned in the hadith, you have now been forgiven 80 years of your sins. So, unless one is older than 80, you are basically getting up 100% clean of sins after this, INSHA'ALLAH. So, when you walk away from your prayer area and start getting back into your life and routine, keep in mind that you are now 100% clean of sin Insha'Allah and you should now try your utmost best to stay that way and not 'mess it up'. For example, "born" Muslims always say to any brother/sister who is saying their shahadah something to the effect of; "hey you are now 100% clean of sin so we are kind of jealous of you", etc... and it's true. We need to realize that doing this is the same chance for all of us, "born" Muslim or not, to be 100% free of sin & Insha'Allah to get a 'fresh' start. May Allah

give us all the taufeeq to understand and implement this. Ameen. Similarly, one should realize that now the reward which was promised for reciting this durood 80 times as per the hadith, the reward of 80 years of worship, has been written in our account, so we need to thank Allah swt for that and realize that, Insha'Allah, one day we will physically see this reward (or the effects of it) when we are in our grave and so on. It should be a humbling experience altogether Insha'Allah.

Please remember in your duas.
