Islam uses a number of conventionally complimentary phrases wishing-well or praising religiously-esteemed figures including God (Allah), Muhammad (Messenger of God), Muhammad's companions (sahaba), family (Ahl al-Bayt), other Islamic prophets and messengers, angels, and revered persons. In Twelver Shi'ism, honorifics are used with the Twelve Imams.

Islamic honorifics are referred to as ṣalawāt (صَلَوات) in Arabic, and durūd in both Persian (درود) and Urdu (درود).
