The difference between salat & salam upon Nabi (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam)

Whats the difference between salat and salam on Nabi (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam)

Answer:

When one takes the name of Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam), he is required to send salat & salam upon him.

(Surah Ahzab, verse: 56)

Salat is translated as: salutations, and salam as: peace.

Salat is generally sent with the words: ‘sallallahu’alayhi’

and salam is sent with the words: ‘wasallam’

The above is merely an example of the common forms of salat and salam.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,
