The Virtues of Writing Salawat in a Book: Benefits and Importance
The Virtues of Writing Salawat in the Book ~ Hi, dear readers! In the previous article, I explained why Salawat is important. As Muslims, it is essential for us to understand this. Did you know that Salawat is a highly beneficial form of Dhikr for Muslims? One example of this is when Muslims write Salawat in a book. That is the focus of this article, so be sure to read it until the end.
Before I delve deeper into the virtues of writing Salawat in a book, I want to clarify that this practice is rooted in valid teachings of Islam. The essence of this practice lies in the fact that the Prophet Muhammad encouraged Muslims to engage in it. This is why there are numerous hadiths explaining its significance. However, I will not quote all of them in this article; I will only cite two hadiths.
Hadith About Writing Salawat in the Book
The two hadiths regarding writing Salawat in a book are as follows:
عَنْ أَبِيْ هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيَّ فِيْ كِتَابٍ لَمْ تَزَلْ الْمَلَائِكَةُ تَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُ مَا دَامَ اِسْمِيْ فِيْ ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابِ
From Abu Hurairah, radliyallahu anhu, he said, "Allah's Messenger (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, ‘Whoever writes Salawat for me in a book, the angels will continue to ask forgiveness for him as long as my name remains in the book.'"
عَنْ اِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيَّ فِيْ كِتَابٍ لَمْ تَزَلْ صَلَاتُهُ جَارِيَةً لَهُ مَا دَامَ اِسْمِيْ فِيْ ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابِ
From Ibn Abbas, radliyallahu anhu, he said, "The Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, ‘Whoever writes Salawat for me in a book, then the Salawat will become ‘Amal Jariyah' (deeds whose rewards continue to flow) for him as long as my name is in the book.'"
Conclusion
Dear Readers! If we have understood the two hadiths above, we can conclude several important points:
- Salawat is one of the excellent forms of Dhikr, and those who read or write it will receive a great reward.
- The first and second hadiths explain that if someone writes Salawat in a book, the angels will ask forgiveness for that person, and that Salawat will become “Amal Jariyah” (deeds whose rewards continue to flow) for him.
Dear Readers! That is a brief explanation of the virtues of writing Salawat in a book. Do you understand? If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

What touched me the most was the emphasis on the idea that writing Salawat is not just a simple act but a form of Amal Jariyah (continuous charity) that brings ongoing rewards as long as the name of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) remains in the book. This inspires me to integrate this practice into my daily life as a way of drawing closer to Allah while strengthening my connection with the Prophet (peace be upon him).
The inclusion of two hadiths from Abu Hurairah and Ibn Abbas truly enriched the discussion, providing credible Islamic references that further encourage Muslims to embrace this beautiful act of worship. The way the writer explains the hadiths in a concise yet meaningful manner is truly commendable.
I also appreciate the author's sincerity in inviting readers to ask questions and deepen their understanding. This article is not just informative but also motivating, reminding us of the boundless mercy of Allah and the intercession of the Prophet (peace be upon him).

The hadiths shared from Abu Hurairah and Ibn Abbas are truly motivating. The fact that the angels continue to ask for forgiveness for the person who writes Salawat, as long as the Prophet's name remains in the book, is such a beautiful reminder of how even small acts can bring continuous blessings. Furthermore, the concept of "Amal Jariyah" (deeds whose rewards continue to flow) is incredibly encouraging. It shows that even after we finish writing, the rewards continue, benefiting us in this world and the hereafter.
The way the article breaks down these teachings in simple terms makes it accessible to everyone, even those who may not be deeply familiar with Islamic texts. I also appreciate how the author did not overcomplicate the explanation, keeping it direct and to the point. The clarity of the message has inspired me to incorporate writing Salawat into my daily routine.
