إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ۚ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا
"Indeed, Allah confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels [ask Him to do so]. O you who have believed, ask [Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [Allah to grant him] peace."
— Surah Al-Ahzab (33:56)
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ
Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala ali Muhammadin kama sallaita 'ala Ibrahima wa 'ala ali Ibrahima innaka Hamidun Majid
"O Allah, send prayers upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You sent prayers upon Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim; indeed, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious."
Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) is the Seal of the Prophets (Khatam an-Nabiyyin), the final messenger sent to all of humanity. He said: "My example and the example of the prophets before me is like a man who built a house and perfected it, except for the place of one brick. The people went around it and wondered at it, saying: 'Why has this brick not been put in place?' I am that brick, and I am the seal of the Prophets."
He was sent as a mercy to the worlds (Rahmat-un lil-'Alamin) as mentioned in Quran 21:107. His character was described as being on an exalted standard of character (Quran 68:4).
Every Muslim should send Salawat (blessings) upon the Prophet regularly, especially on Fridays. The reward is immense: "Whoever sends one blessing upon me, Allah will send ten blessings upon him." - Sahih Muslim
