To Those Who Prohibit Reciting Prophet's Name For Shahadat and Duroot.
-
...1) There is no verse in the Quran which prohibit reciting Phropet's name during salat and writting Prophet's name alongside Allah in the mosque...
I give you the following two verses of The Qur?aan among many others.
2014
Verily I myself; I AM ALLAAH. There is no god but Me, so worship Me, and establish Salah for My commemoration.
7218
And that the mosques belong to ALLAAH; so, do not invoke anyone alongside ALLAAH.

Mentioning Muhammad and his family's name repeatedly during a religious gathering is obvious idolatry, who would argue that? Mentioning his name during every move in a prayer is idolatry, who would argue that? Saying Ya Ali (o Ali) every time one rises up to is idolatry, who would argue that? Putting up banners with Ya Hussein or Ya Muhammad, especially in mosques is idolatry, who would argue that? Who would argue that people do not idolize Muhammad and other powerless people who are also not in this world anymore?
It's depending on our niat, Man of Faith.If you calling Muhammad's name because praising him as Islamic national hero and as Allah's Rasul then it's still okay.But if you worship Muhammad as a equal of Allah, then it's different story.
Ya Ali, Ya Hussein hehehe, it's the symbol of sectarian especially Shiah.I will hang back for saying that name.
So it's shirk or not is depending on your niat.

Sorry kgwithnob,is reciting Muhammad's name is a act of shirk?
Is by reciting Muhammad's name, means we setting equal to Allah?Yes that verse is talking about Allah is only God, but not as commandment for prohibit recite Muhammad's name.
7218
And that the mosques belong to ALLAAH; so, do not invoke anyone alongside ALLAAH.
Plus if a Muslim recite Shahada of Muhammad, this means we worshipping him?
Just tell any Muslim both Sunni or Shia even Quran alone, is there anyone of them worshipping Muhammad like worshipping a God? -
Peace,
I have a question regarding this. Given the topic and context of this thread, what about elevating the status of a Messenger above other Messengers, which we are warned about in the Quran?
The issue of the second (the word second is important since it shows there is another but this one is prefered) shahadah is not that just saying it makes one commit shirk. That clearly can't be the case because its all about your intent.
It is about the intent of creating a second shahadah when there already is one in the Quran. Just like the people who are told to say the phrase repentance upon entering a village but they couldn't even do that they had to edit and substitute it. Also it can be the intent of some of those who say such a phrase and say well its only mentioning Muhammad not praising him. But I hear some Sunni etc say that Muhammad was the greatest Prophet. - It all builds into this idea they have of Muhammad of more than just a Messenger like any other Messenger, the way they follow hadith even when it goes against the Quran. Allah swt knows their intent best.
The second shahadah also exists in hadith not the Quran - this preference of the hadith version relates to the issue of taking anyone else above God when God has already stated one point and then the scholars state another - the scholars, rabbis, monks, priests etc of the day, above your actual Lord.
"They have taken their rabbis and their monks-as well as the Christ, son of Mary-for their lords beside God, although they had been bidden to worship none but the One God, save whom there is no deity the One who is utterly remote, in His limitless glory, from anything to which they may ascribe a share in His divinity!"

Salamun'alaikum. sun
After six months joining this forum and already reading some posts in here.I noticed if some Quran alone follower say if reciting Prophet's name like Muhammad, Ibrahim etc is forbidden during recite shahadat, dzikir, or even during Salat or prohibiting write name of Phrophet alongside Allah in the mosque.
But after I reopened my Quran again, I got some points
-
There is no verse in the Quran which prohibit reciting Phropet's name during salat and writting Prophet's name alongside Allah in the mosque.
-
But the verses in the Quran was mentioning if we must obey Allah's Rasuls by following the messages they delivering (the Quran).
-
When we say something like "lailahailallah muhammadurrasulullah (There is no illah (God) beside Allah, Muhammad is Allah rasuls)".
Look by saying something like that, are we going to worship Muhammad or set a equal beside God? Not right.
It's like we honoring our national heroes, is that means we worshipping them? of course not.
It's like Nabi Muhammad, Nabi Muhammad is our beloved Islamic hero who struggling for delivering the message to his ummat.So it's not strange if we honoring him as Allah's rasul.
The conclusion is we aren't worship Muhammad but just honoring his name as a hero.very good point. There is nothing wrong with mentioning Muhamad's name but there is nothing wrong with mentioning any other prophets' name. There is nothing wrong with establishing a calendar based on the supposed Muhamedan hijra but there is nothing wrong with establishing a calendar based on the supposed Jesus's birth or Joseph's release from prison or David's ascension to the throne of Noah's escape by the ship or Moses's crossing of the Ocean. Its when you make a prophetic biography as a theology at the expense of the other as Christian's do with Jesus's crucifixion or Muslim's do with Muhamed's hijra and biography that you create the problem. All prophets have their unique biography and all have their own contributions as an example to us. We must not distinguish any over the others or isolate one over the others.

Peace,
All praise is due to God.
You will survive without the idols, I promise you.

Here's the problem with bringing Muhammads name into Salat. This is a video of Shia Salat. They say the name Muhammad maybe five times more than they say Allah. Who are they worshipping? It's very easy to fall into the trap of Prophet Worship. It's human nature. And I believe most Muslims have assigned Prophet Muhammad as a partner besides God (or in some sects, they've put God beside Muhammad). But they will never admit it. Love the Prophet, respect him? Sure. But people always take it too far. Yet another failed test. Worship is for God alone. Don't fall into the trap of Prophet worship. Watch this Shia Salat...

I think they have variance in what to say in ruku and sujood. Even Sunnis do not have specifics.
- It is better in normal situation to say Subahanallah three times, or Subhana Rabbiy al-A'la wa bi hamdhi once. And he should utter these words in succession and in correct Arabic. Actually, as an obligatory precaution, uttering any Zikr to this extent is sufficient. And it is Mustahab that Subhana Rabbiyal A'la wa bi hamdhi should be said three, five or seven times, or more

Salam.
Saying "Muhammad is God's Messenger" isn't wrong but the problem is God alone isn't enough or complete according to mainstream 'Muslims'.
According to mainstream "Muslims", mentioning God alone isn't enough.
And the 2 Shahadahs. Why is only Prophet Muhammad's name mentioned? Why aren't Jesus, Isaac, Enoch, Adam, Moses, Ishmael, Jacob, Abraham, Solomon, Noah, Lot, Joseph, Zechariah, David etc mentioned? -
Peace,
Easiest solution just mention God's name when you pray. Then you do not idolize anyone and maximum focus is on God. I really see no point in mentioning anyone else other than God.
Also, you really never knew any of the prophets personally and you do not know who you pray for. And your prayers are having no real effect and they are also "out of the game", game over, they have their final score recorded. And if they are in paradise nothing is going to change that and they were promised nothing but peace. No need to wish them more peace.
Commemorating and excessively thinking about them is to have an idol. Same would be that if you, for example, would think about Abraham Lincoln several times per day and he is always on your mind when you think about God. Now is that not that tantamount on idolatry so tell me.
You can read up on someone but it should not become such an obsession that much of your time is spent thinking about this person.
Consider what is the connotation for the word idol.
I would take it so far as to say the Quran can be an idol, if you stop believing God has any present spirit in this world and is only working through the Quran, despite it being the exact wordings of God. Then the Quran is your intercessor and not God. It is not an idol if you believe it to be the Guide it is and that you will gain help from God to interpret it and that He will guide you right in life by applying its rules. And of course doing righteous deeds based on the rules you have in Quran, they are your guidelines, a fundament to make decisions in life upon.
God bless you

Say, 'What testimony is of greatest import?' Say 'God's. He is witness between me and you and this Quran was inspired to me to serve as a warning to you and anyone it may reach that you bear witness that there are other gods beside God.' Say 'I do not bear witness', Say 'He is the One God and I disown those whom you associate.'
Say 'we believe in God and what was sent down to us and what was revealed to Ibraheem and Isma'eel and Iss-haq and Ya'qub and the patriarchs and what was given to Musa and I'ssa and what was given to the prophets by their Lord, we do not differentiate among any of them and we are submitters unto Him'.
When the hypocrites come to you they say 'We bear witness that you are the messenger of God' God knows that you are His messenger, and God bears witness that the hypocrites are liars.

Peace everyone,
Salat and prayer focus on us recognising and acknowledging our connection to God. It is all about God and our relationship with Him. Its strange that people say they want to be close to God swt but then do they want to focus on God in terms of their prayer? And do they want to talk about God's guidance in its many ways, or do they want to mention all the things Prophet Muhammad apparently did and then follow that even when it goes against the Quran? Simple things like ablutions for example up to things like death for apostasy. In terms of mentioning other people, I would say its more when we want to ask God for guidance about a relationship or something like that. Or if there is someone that we know, who is facing difficulty or something and to ask for help, blessings and just reassurance from Allah swt.

Very Good,
When GOD ALONE is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in the
Hereafter shrink with aversion. But when others are mentioned beside Him, they become satisfied.Some folks are just not satisfied with God alone, they feel the need to "add" something
due to fear, ingratitude, disrespect, or ignorance, rather it be jesus, muhammad, john smith
(mormon), mary, or haile selassie. The question is, why can't followers let go of those
who point them to God?ONE DEEN

Peace all my friends.
The second shahadah also exists in hadith not the Quran - this preference of the hadith version relates to the issue of taking anyone else above God when God has already stated one point and then the scholars state another - the scholars, rabbis, monks, priests etc of the day, above your actual Lord.
Supportnotwar, Lets try not use hadith as prespective, but I will give you example
You're from UK right? then how you honoring your queen, you may say somthing like "Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth".By say something like that, is that mean you worship Queen Elizabeth as a God? Not right ).
And the verse 931, you pointing out is about Christianity.When Prophet Muhammad was alive, did he say "I bear witness that There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger"?
Did Prophet Muhammad recite Durood during Salat and send blessings upon himself and his family?Aamer.No no no no no.I'm not reciting Shahadat Nabi like dua in hadiths like tahiyat akhir.When I join Quran alone, I never again recite that kind of du'a, cause it's "strange".
I reccomend to everyone to do as much as possible durood, it's benefits are beyond imagination
Good point Bender.But the points you pointing out are advices from hadithsSo it's not wajib if we believe that or not.
Also Al-Azhab ayat 56, clearly stated.There is nothing wrong with mentioning Muhamad's name but there is nothing wrong with mentioning any other prophets' name. There is nothing wrong with establishing a calendar based on the supposed Muhamedan hijra but there is nothing wrong with establishing a calendar based on the supposed Jesus's birth or Joseph's release from prison or David's ascension to the throne of Noah's escape by the ship or Moses's crossing of the Ocean.
Yeah Bigmo.It's nothing wrong as long as we praise the Nabis in limittes as hero only, not as God.
Yeah we can also make a calendar counted from supposed Muhammad hijra and it's not disturbing our faith, because dIfferences in fatwa is not too important (see 2177)http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7KlHNez5eA&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Haha.They're not Islam but a Muhammadanism.
According to mainstream "Muslims", mentioning God alone isn't enough.
And the 2 Shahadahs. Why is only Prophet Muhammad's name mentioned? Why aren't Jesus, Isaac, Enoch, Adam, Moses, Ishmael, Jacob, Abraham, Solomon, Noah, Lot, Joseph, Zechariah, David etc mentioned?Not only Sunni-Syia, but in Quran ayat 3356 is clearly stated that faithful man/woman must honoring Nabi's name.
Not only Muhammad, but also you can recite something like "Sholallah ala Ibrahim, Sholallah ala Ismael etc" ).Easiest solution just mention God's name when you pray. Then you do not idolize anyone and maximum focus is on God. I really see no point in mentioning anyone else other than God.
Man of Faith, don't forget about verse 3356.
-
Pixel Angel Baby, thank you to pointing out some good ayat, but you may also don't forget to ayat 3356.
When GOD ALONE is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in the
Hereafter shrink with aversion. But when others are mentioned beside Him, they become satisfied.You may read my reply above this post.
As long as we not worshipping Muhammad saw like a God.
Verse 3945 is not a prohibition for honoring Muhammad's name, instead verse 3356 order us to do it. -
Peace Earthdom,
Unfortunately the verse you referred to means to pray for him in his struggle while he was alive. Please do not abuse the word of God for idolization. If there came around a Messenger in these ages, would you not pray for him that things go well?
God bless you
-
Pixel Angel Baby, thank you to pointing out some good ayat, but you may also don't forget to ayat 3356.
GOD and His angels help and support the prophet. O you who believe, you shall help and support him, and regard him as he should be regarded.
Surely, those who oppose GOD and His messenger, GOD afflicts them with a curse in this life, and in the Hereafter; He has prepared for them a shameful retribution.
Those who persecute the believing men and the believing women, who did not do anything wrong, have committed not only a falsehood, but also a gross sin.
O prophet, tell your wives, your daughters, and the wives of the believers that they shall lengthen their garments. Thus, they will be recognized (as righteous women) and avoid being insulted. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
Unless the hypocrites, and those with disease in their hearts, and the vicious liars of the city refrain (from persecuting you), we will surely grant you the upper hand, then they will be forced to leave within a short while
Do you become satisfied when Muhammad's name is mentioned, yes/no?
ONE GOD
peace
-
Man of Faith and hawk99, what is the proof, if that verse is "to pray to his struggle during his lifetime"?
3356 God and His angels make contact with the prophet. O you who
believe, you shall make contact with him, and comply completely.Yes your explanation sound logic, but as a Nabi, Muhammad was already destinied and be guaranteed to enter the heaven, even if the Sahabat is not did shalawat to him.
If he already destinied, then why Sahabat still praying for him even know it's not too important.Man of Faith, I never say that we must recite tahiyat akhir dua like in hadith, but atleast we must glorify him as our hero in any chance.
-
Peace Earthdom,
That verse I quoted refers to rabbis and monks etc. It's referring to all of the people of the book. Straightforward enough for me. If not for you, then leave it. Do what you think is best.
