Allah sends His Salat (Graces, Honours, Blessings, Mercy, etc.) on the

Prophet (Muhammad SAW) and also His angels too (ask Allah to bless and

forgive him). O you who believe! Send your Salat on (ask Allah to bless)

him (Muhammad SAW), and (you should) greet (salute) him with the Islamic

way of greeting (salutation i.e. AsSalamu 'Alaikum). –Mohsin Khan
