Really? In Ugaritic, Akkadian, Phoenician, Aramaic/Syriac, Arabic etc...the word "Salat" means "bless"? أمان ربي أمان

References please!

Muhammad must have had some knowledge of Syriac/Aramaic after all the Qur'an is full of loan words, sentences and grammar from Syriac/Aramaic and he was a Tajir (merchant) in Syria and Syrians spoke Syriac/Aramaic and Greek.

Here is the word "Bless" in Syriac/Aramaic: ܒܪܘܟܐ or Barukhi. Compare with Arabic بركة Baraka or blessing and يبارك or he is blessing

Here is the word "Pray" in Syriac/Aramaic: ܨܠܘܬܐ or Slouta. Compare with Arabic صلاة Sala (the Ta marbouta is silent) and يصلي or Yusali means he prays.

Notice that the word Prayer in the Qur'an is either:

1. صلاة which is the correct Arabic

2. Or: صلوة or Salwa which is a loan word from the Syriac/Aramaic Slouta

More? "God Bless you" in Syriac/Aramaic: ܐܠܗܐ ܒܪܟܠܘܟ or Aloho (also Elaha) Barekhlak (m.) Compare with Arabic ربنا يبارك فيك

Notice that only God is the one who blesses.

You don't believe me? Consult with Sheikh google صلى الله عليه وسلم who can link you to the following dictionaries:

1. Manna Syriac/Arabic dictionary

2. Lisan al-'Arab this is for Quranic and Classical Arabic

3. el-Maany on-line dictionary for modern Arabic

Anyone who tells you that the word Salat means blessing in Arabic does not know his Arabic or Syriac for this matter

What does صلي على النبي? Pray Upon the Prophet? امان ربي امان

Last, is it true that 700,000 Syriac speakers and thousands of Yazidis were murdered by the Turks in the 19th and 20th centuries? Absolute shame
