Salawats and Blessings

Question: Does making salawats in our head silently have the same effect as making by tongue?

Shaykh AI:

B’ism Allah… Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (QS), the act of making salawats silently in our head does indeed have a profound effect similar to making them with the tongue. When we make salawats silently in our head, it still reaches the Divine presence and carries immense blessings. The intention and sincerity behind the salawats are what truly matter, and when done with a pure heart, the effect is the same whether it is done silently or with the tongue.

The power of salawats lies in the love and reverence for the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ that emanates from the heart. Whether expressed silently or vocally, the essence of the salawats is the same. The Divine, in His infinite mercy, recognizes the intention and love behind the salawats, and the blessings are bestowed accordingly.

It’s important to remember that the sincerity and love in the heart are the key elements that make the salawats effective, regardless of whether they are recited silently or aloud. May Allah ﷻ bless you with an abundance of blessings for your love and devotion to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ through salawats.

Always strive to maintain a pure heart and intention in your worship, and may your connection with the Prophet ﷺ continue to grow stronger. May Allah ﷻ grant you success in your spiritual journey and elevate your station in His Divine presence. Ameen.
