That's it. Not much more detail in the question.
If the answer could include usage in a sentence, that would be helpful.

They're exactly the same word. In Arabic, the word صلاة (salah/salat) ends with what is known as a taa marbutah, which can be pronounced either as "t" (if it's in the middle of a sentence) or an "h" (if it's at the end of a sentence).

If I were saying it in English, would
it's time for salah. is it salat time?be correct?– ShamoonFeb 23, 2015 at 1:20 -
1@Shamoon Yes and no. Applying Arabic grammar rules to an English sentence is just confusing, better off just sticking to whichever pronunciation you prefer.– goldPseudo ♦Feb 23, 2015 at 1:39

@goldPseudo is right that "Applying Arabic grammar rules to an English sentence is just confusing" , but assume in regard to ur question which asked "it's time for salah. is it salat time", then u'd better to say it by the letter "h (salah)" , Since its main word is Salah, then in case you add some word to it you ought to say it by "t" according to Arabic. So I reckon you cannot observe this grammar in English. Anyhow I think the response of dear goldPseudo is good enough to persuade you. Good luck. Mar 11, 2015 at 11:28

2To be entirely accurate: ṣalāt all on its own is not correct in Classical Arabic: you need to add a case ending (ṣalātun, ṣalātin, aṣ-ṣalātu etc.). ṣalāh is the pausal form, which you use at the end of a sentence, or at the end of an ʼāyah in the Qur’an.– aasheqApr 6, 2015 at 19:53
It is exactly the same, depending on the context of usage. At the end of iqama we use "salah", and in the middle we use "salat".

Assalamu alaikum... How do I write a good answer? Also plz read other answers. You might get to learn from those answers... All the best.. :) Mar 29, 2015 at 22:37
Basically according to my info. As much as I can remember, there wouldn't be any special difference between the mentioned words (Salah/Salat) from the aspect of meaning and their meanings almost are the same. But apparently there is a little difference from grammar aspect.
