The Verse of Sending Blessings on the Prophet

Quran 33:56 · Surah Al-Ahzab

Also known as: ayat salawat, durood verse, 33:56

Verse 56 of Surah Al-Ahzab, the basis for sending blessings (salawat) upon the Prophet.

Allah states that He and His angels send blessings upon the Prophet, and calls on the believers to do the same. This verse is why Muslims say 'peace and blessings be upon him' whenever the Prophet is mentioned, and it is the foundation of the durood recited in prayer.

  1. 33:56

    إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ وَمَلَٰٓئِكَتَهُۥ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّ ۚ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ صَلُّوا۟ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا۟ تَسْلِيمًا

    Innal laaha wa malaaa'i katahoo yusalloona 'alan Nabiyy; yaaa aiyuhal lazeena aamanoo salloo 'alaihi wa sallimoo tasleemaa

    Eebe iyo Malaa'igtiisu waxay ku sallin (amaani) Nabiga, ee kuwa (xaqa) rumeeyow ku Salliya korkiisa oo salaama Salaan.
