Q. 28: When we mention the apostles name, Muhammad, we say (S.A.W.W.) Why? What does it mean? A. (S.A.W.W.) after the name of the Holy Prophet is the abbreviation of Sallallahu Alayhi wa Aalihi wa Sallam. It means, May Allah Bestow His Mercy, Grace and Peace upon him (Muhammad) and his progeny The Muslims say it in compliance with the command of Allah :-Verily, Allah Bestows His Grace upon the Prophet and His angels pray for him; O ye who believe send ye blessings on him and salute him as is the proper way (Quran; Sura 33, Ayat 56). And the addition of wa Aalihi (and upon his progeny) is in accordance with the command of the Holy Prophet who said: Do not send on me an incomplete salawaat. The companions asked: What is the incomplete salawaat, O Messenger of Allah! The Holy Prophet said It is incomplete to say O Allah Bless Muhammad and then to stop. Nay, you should say: O Allah Bless Muhammad and his Progeny. (Jawahirul-Iqdain; As-Sawaiqul-Muhriqua) Your Questions Answered (volume 1) Author : Sayyid Saeed Akhtar Rizvi
