Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Special Salawaat of the month of Sha'ban Chapter 1: Salawat The first phrase that frequently gets repeated in the beginning of each paragraph is Salawat, and in one paragraph it comes with detail.

(اللهم صل علي محمد وال محمد صلاه کثيره تکون لهم رضاولحق محمد وال محمد اداء وقضاء) There are some points to be mentioned about these phrases: The Root And The Foundation Of Salawat In the Surah of Ahzab, God Himself and His Angels send salawat on our prophet, and the Quran has ordered us to send Salawat as well.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَ مَلائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلِّمُوا تَسْليما Allah sends His Salawat (Graces, Honours, Blessings, Mercy, etc.) on the Prophet (Muhammad) and also His angels too (ask Allah to bless and forgive him). O you who believe! Send your Salawat on (ask Allah to bless) him and be totally obedient to him.

[^1] The prophet has been awarded such a high status, that the Creator of the universe and all the angels who are responsible to manage the orders of Allah in the world send Salawat on him. When the believers send Salawat on the Prophet (and obey his commands), they harmonize with the message of the universe. We must bear in mind that when we say Allah sends Salawat it means that He is sending blessings, but when creatures send Salawat it means, they ask for blessings.

Also the word "يصلون" indicates Allah and angels continuously send their blessings to his messenger. Rewards For Salawat We have lots of Ahadith about the rewards of salawat. Some Islamic scholars have even written books about it and gathered different salawat that are narrated by Ahlul Bayt.

They have even written poetries on Salawat to show their love for the Prophet and Ahlul Bayt such as following: 1.) -صلوات الفرج‏و أدعيتها تالیف شيخ القميين في وقته أبي الحسن محمد بن أحمد بن داود القمي المتوفى 368. Salawat Al-Faraj va Adeyateha by Sheikh of Qom Abe Al-Hasan Mohammad Ibn Ahmad Ibn Davood Al-Qomi passed away in 368 H -الصلوات و التحيات على أشرف البريات و آله الأئمة السادات‏ منسوب به خواجة نصير الدين محمد بن محمد بن الحسن الطوسي المتوفى 672 .
