The Holy Quran 33:56 — Surah Al-Ahzab

Arabic text

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ وَمَلَـٰٓئِكَتَهُۥ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّ ۚ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ صَلُّوا۟ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا۟ تَسْلِيمًا

Translation

Verily Allaah and His angels send salaah on the Nabi ﷺ (Allaah showers special mercies on him and the angels pray for him). O you who have Imaan! Send salaah and Salaam to him (pray to Allaah to shower special mercies and peace on him by reciting the various forms of "Salaah and Salaam" reported in the Ahadeeth).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
