Their meanings can be summarized as follows:

The most famous of them are the ones that we recite after tahiyyat during prayers: “ Allahumma salli ala Muhammadin wa ala ali Muhammad” and “Sallallahu alayhi wasallam”.

Furthermore, our Prophet (pbuh) is offended by the unfaithful people of his umma who do not say salawat for him although they hear his name and expresses his reproach as “ May his nose be covered with dust.” Thus, those who say salawat when they hear the name of our Prophet (pbuh) receive good prayers from the angels and those who do not say salawat receive the curse of the angels. They react as “ May Allah not make your rank rise” for those who do not say salawat and the other angels agree with that reaction by saying ‘ amin’. We see in hadith books that the angels pray for the person who says salawat, which causes the rank of our Prophet (pbuh) to rise in Paradise, as “ May Allah make your rank rise, too” and other angels say ‘ amin’ for that prayer. What is understood is that after each salawat and salam, both our Lord and the angels become pleased in addition, the angels pray for those who say salawat. – Allah and His angels, send blessings on the Prophet: O ye that believe! send ye blessings on him and salute him, with all respect.!Īs a necessity of the command of that verse it has been stated that it is fard to say salawat once in the life, wajib for the first hearing of following mentions and sunnah for repetitions in the same place.

Our Lord orders us to say salawat for the Prophet in the 56th verse of the Chapter al-Ahzab: It is informed that for every Muslim who understands the wisdom of the existence thanks to him, it is fard to say salawat once in the life, wajib for the following mentions and sunnah for repetitions it is said that skipping salawat causes deprivation from intercession (shafaah).Ī person who feels gratitude for someone who does him a favor and a person who shows respect to a person for a long time just for the sake of a cup of coffee will definitely feel gratitude for the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), who was a means for saving his eternal life, and will say salawat with great respect when he hears his name and will attain his intercession with his loyalty. As it is known, it is a non-ignorable duty and debt of fidelity of every Muslim to say salawat whenever the name of Hazrat Prophet (pbuh) is mentioned.
