"Salat" of the Prophet (s) upon believers is a prayer for their welfare, blessing, and salvation,.Among non-Arab Muslims though, it is not regarded as a plural word, but it has rather assumed a terminological meaning of the special salutation upon the Prophet (s) and his family.Īrabic philologists have mentioned that when used as salutation and greeting, the meaning of the word "salat" would vary according to who has used the word, and to whom it is used for: "Salat", the singular form of "salawat", also means the ritual prayer, and it is called so since it includes some prayers, and thus "salawat" has a plural meaning in Arabic, and means ritual prayers, prayers (in general), or salutations.
Salawat is the plural form of "salat" (Arabic: صلاة), and from the root of "Sad Lam Waw" (Arabic: ص ل و), meaning prayer, salutation, greeting, and mercy.
