Alayhis Salam

عليه السلام
Text Size:
Alayhis Salam (Peace be upon him) is the singular honorific and "Dua" used when mentioning a Prophet or an Angel, such as Isa (AS), Musa (AS), or Jibril (AS). It reflects the "Mu’min’s" belief in the sanctity of these figures. For the "Ummah," using this phrase is part of the "Adab" (etiquette) of "Ilm" (knowledge). It acknowledges the "Sabr" (patience) and sacrifice these figures endured to bring the message of "Haqq" (truth) to humanity, fostering a heart of gratitude and reverence for Allah’s messengers.
