Litany of Salawat – Islamic Gregorian Chant for Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

This chant is not created with Artificial Intelligence. It is a vocal performance sung and interpreted by Juan E. Abrahán, conceived as a devotional and contemplative offering rooted in historical chant traditions. This video presents a Salawat — a blessing upon the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) — sung in Arabic using a Gregorian-style melody, specifically adapted from the structure of the Litany of the Saints. Performed a cappella, without instruments, and rendered in a syllabic manner, this chant unfolds with clarity, sobriety, and reverence, allowing every word of praise to be heard distinctly. The Meaning and Spiritual Power of Salawat Salawat are among the most beloved devotional acts in Islam. To send blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is to participate in a form of remembrance that elevates the heart, purifies intention, and draws the believer closer to God. According to Islamic tradition, invoking blessings upon the Prophet brings divine mercy, forgiveness, and inner tranquility, and it strengthens the bond between the servant and the Messenger who conveyed God’s final revelation. This salawat is offered not as ornament, but as prayer: a moment of stillness, gratitude, and reverent love — suitable for meditation, quiet reflection, study, or simply resting the soul in remembrance. Musical Approach The melodic framework is inspired by Gregorian chant, known for its unison vocal line, absence of harmony, and contemplative flow. Here, the ancient melodic contour of the Litany is respectfully recontextualized to carry Islamic devotional text, creating a meeting point between sacred vocal traditions while remaining fully halal, vocal-only, and focused on remembrance of God. No specific modal system is imposed; instead, the chant relies on natural vocal phrasing and breath, allowing the salawat to unfold with calm dignity and spiritual focus. Visual Context The background image is an Islamic miniature depicting the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) receiving revelation from the Angel Gabriel. In accordance with Islamic artistic tradition, the Prophet’s face is fully veiled, emphasizing reverence and symbolism rather than representation. Authorship and Use Interpretation: Juan E. Abrahán Conceptual adaptation: Juan E. Abrahán Neither the melody nor the text belongs to the performer.
