Ibrahimiyah Salawat Recitation: Arabic, Latin, Meaning, and Its Virtues

Muslims are encouraged to frequently recite salawat (blessings) upon the Prophet Muhammad SAW, as Allah commands in Surah Al-Ahzab, verse 56. One of the widely known salawat is the Ibrahimiyah Salawat, which is recited at least five times a day during prayers, specifically in the final sitting (tashahhud). This recitation seeks mercy and blessings for the Prophet Muhammad SAW and his family, just as they were bestowed upon the Prophet Ibrahim AS and his family. The Arabic text of the Ibrahimiyah Salawat is: "اللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ..." which means asking for an outpouring of mercy and blessings. The mention of Prophet Ibrahim AS in this salawat is linked to accounts from the Isra and Mi'raj (the Night Journey and Ascension), the prayer of Prophet Ibrahim AS when building the Ka'bah, the lineage of Prophet Muhammad SAW from Prophet Ibrahim AS through Prophet Ismail AS, and Allah's command in Surah An-Nahl, verse 123 to follow the way of Ibrahim. Reciting the Ibrahimiyah Salawat has numerous virtues based on hadiths, including receiving the intercession of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, being elevated in rank, having sins erased, receiving Allah's mercy, having one's needs fulfilled, and closeness to the Prophet Muhammad SAW in the afterlife. Hadiths from Tirmidzi, An-Nasa'i, and Baihaqi support these virtues, emphasizing the importance of Muslims being consistent in sending blessings. https://mozaik.inilah.com/dakwah/bacaan-sholawat-ibrahimiyah-dan-artinya
