Salam Myriam :).
ssalawati wa da3awati laki b ttawfi9 inchaa allah
–> My prayers for you to be succefull, God willing.
Your friend there used two words:
Salawat, plural of salat, which is for Muslims the prayer we perform as one of the 5 pillars. But Christians use it to refer to an invocation.
Da3awat, plural of du3a, and that’s what we call invocation in Arabic.
Just to show you the difference/similarity between the two words used.
:^^: choukran simplymoroccan, your translation and explanation are both helpful and informative.
My pleasure :).
