Question:
Asalāmu ‘alaykum. Is saying Sallallāhu ‘alayhi wasalam a durūd?
Basically, is durūd and Salawāt the same thing? ^ that any Salawāt will suffice to be considered durūd?
Answer:
In the Name of Allaah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salaamu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullaahi wa-barakaatuh.
- Yes. Saying صلى الله عليه وسلم is a durood. It is one of the shortest and easiest forms of durood. It combines both, Salaah and Salaam.
- Durood is the Farsi equivalent of salawaat. They are both the same. They both refer to sending salutations and blessings upon Nabi ﷺ.
And Allaah Ta’aala knows best.
