Recipe for a successful business

Q: We are three brothers together running a Manpower Placement firm. However our business is going down every day. Borrowing from relatives increases every year. Moreover, we dont know why but most of the wall clocks in our house keeps on going slow every day. We put in new batteries, then too the clocks keep on going slow.
Secondly our office is located on a T-point. Some say its a bad business location.

Durood recited by some Sufi's

Q: I came across a Durood that is used by some sufi's during their healing sessions, they claim that this durood is based on the names of our Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) that are hidden in the Quran, the two names are 'TAHA' and 'YASEEN'. The complete Durood is “Bismillaahi yasin habeebullah wa taha rasoolullaah Salalahu Allyahi Waslam”.

  1. Is it permissible to recite this darood.
  2. Is it permissible to recite other names of our Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) with the intention of seeking Allah's help, mercy and cure. I don't think the recitation of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) name will lead to shirk, because many of those names appear in Quran along with words like 'YA'.
