Verse (22:40)

The analysis above refers to the 40th verse of chapter 22 (sūrat l-ḥaj):

Sahih International: [They are] those who have been evicted from their homes without right - only because they say, "Our Lord is Allah." And were it not that Allah checks the people, some by means of others, there would have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which the name of Allah is much mentioned. And Allah will surely support those who support Him. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might.

wa alaikumusalam,

salawat is mentioned 5 times in the Qur'an this is one of them.

salawat is plural of salah

im not sure why synogogues are named salawat, but it maybe because the jews pray in a very similar way to muslims (they do sejdah 1st then rukoo whereas we do rukoo 1st then sejdah) or that they pray a lot in these places like how we pray a lot in masjids.

if anyone knows the actual answer then please help clarify this one.

jazakallah khayr
