Hundred Questions - Salawat (Benedictions)
Salawat (Benedictions)
Q49 Please tell us the true meaning or the ta'wil of the salawat. Since according to the Qur'anic verse (21:107) the Prophet himself is the source of blessings, how can the intercession of sending mercy on him be appropriate?
A49 This question was previously asked by some students, and I have answered it in Panj Maqalah IV, on pp. 15-17 [English]. See also Wajh-i din, (Urdu translation) Part II, kalam, 50, Falsafah-yi Du`a, pp. 61-69, and also the answer to Question 13, in the first part of this book.
