Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) is already Rahmat-ul-almeen so reciting salwat is not for our Prophet but for us. Many of you have commented on the zahiri meaning of salwat so I wanted to discuss the batini meaning. The esoteric purpose of salwat is for the upliftment of our soul - as also mentioned in our ...

There is two kind of sufis.

One is called humaost, it means Ali and Allah is one. In our old Dua, we say Ali Allah.
The other one is called huma az ost, it means Aliullah. This means Ali is from Allah.

These are two different meanings one is tawheed and the other is duality.

I am sinful is also another (similar) meaning/translation

Skaswani's meaning is right, but the particular word taskidar's meaning/translation is above.
