Salawat

Salawat (Arabic: صَلَوَات, romanizedṣalawāt; sg. صَلَاة, ṣalāh) or durood (Urdu: دُرُوْد) is an Islamic complimentary Arabic phrase which contains veneration for Muhammad. This phrase is usually expressed by Muslims as part of their five daily prayers (usually during the tashahhud) and also when Muhammad's name is mentioned.[1][2][3]

Salawat is a plural form of salat (Arabic: صَلَاة) and from the triliteral root of ṣ-l-w (the letters ṣād-lām-wā, ص ل و) which literally means 'prayer' or 'send blessings upon'.[4][5]

Some Arabic philologists suggest that the meaning of the word salawat varies depending on who uses the word and to whom it is used for.[6]
