Salawat (Arabic: صَلَوَات, romanized: ṣalawāt; sing. صَلَاة, ṣalāh) or durood (Urdu: دُرُوْد, romanized: durōd, darōd, durūd, darūd) is an Islamic complimentary Arabic phrase which contains veneration for Muhammad. This phrase is usually expressed by Muslims as part of their five daily prayers (usually during the tashahhud) and also when Muhammad's name is mentioned.
