The word swalath has many significance. Its meaning changes according to the context it is used. Though the word literally means “prayer” , it has a wide range of technical connotations. It can be asking for grace from God , forgiveness from him,or respect and so on.
The meaning of swalath is various according to the person who uses it. It becomes compliments when it comes from Almighty allay and respect from angels.
Swalath from Allah:
To express the importance of swalath, alamighty allah says in holy qouran “ Allh and his angels are reciting swalath on prophet muhammed swallallahu alaihi wasallam. So O! believers , you too do the same. (Ahsab50)
This verse shows how concerned God is in swalatha and prophet swallallahu alihiwasallam.
