‘O human kind, We have created you from a single pair of male and female, and have divided you into nations and tribes, so that you shall recognize each other, not that you shall despise each other, and the most honoured in the sight of Allah (swt) is the person who has Taqwa – and Allah is all knowing, full of knowledge, and well acquainted with all things.’ (Surah Hujurat, Chapter No. 49, Verse No. 13)

O Allah, let Your Blessings come
upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim
and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. Allah, bless
Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and
his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious".
The famous companion of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), Hazrat Ka'ab bin Ujrah (radi Allahu anhu), narrates that once it was enquired from Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) as to how blessings should be sent to him. The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) replied that the blessings be said in the manner (it has been mentioned) above, that is, Durood-e-Ibrahimi.
