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.
-
Sometimes I wonder how people think.... sometimes I think we get caught up in our own minds and forget what we are talking about.
Below are some questions and statements of mine. Note! They are not directed at anyone specific person, but to all of us.-
What I'm wondering is, what is the PURPOSE of mentioning the name of Muhammad time and again? What is the real purpose? What effect will it have? Let's be honest when answering this.
-
Do we think that mentioning this name will purify our character or help us or anyone else? Yes or No? Yes or No? If not, then WHY!?
-
What is this nonsense about loving and respecting the prophet? The prophet Muhammad was a person who lived a long time ago. He's dead now as far as biology is concerned. And you didn't know him. You have just heard some accounts of his actions from the quran, and of course a load of lies and BS about him from the Chronicles of Hadith. These are all stories, whether true or false. They are not even memories!! Sometimes we love the memory of someone, but NOBODY remembers the prophet! What is it that you love and respect? Let's be very clear! If you are sensible, you'd say that you love and respect what he stood for.... but then you just expose your own paradoxical behaviour. You respect good behaviour, but insist on focussing on a person. So perhaps you actually need to put all your focus on the person, disguising it as respect for good behaviour. This sounds like idol worship. You know, worshipping something doesn't mean we have to think it/he/she is at the level of God. That's a misundertanding. Idol worship includes UNDUE FOCUS and attention on something WHICH WILL DO YOU NO GOOD! You are actually engaged in a great WASTE of time and mental energy and effort.
Do you think that sending blessings on the prophet will help him now, wherever he is now? Perhaps sending blessings and similar positive energies would have aided him when he was walking on this planet, but do you think his situation will change for the better through YOUR blessings NOW that he has passed on? Save yourself instead by praying to your Creator, and start behaving properly with yourself, with others and with nature, and stop wasting your time on a specifically selected prophet that you didn't know and that you claim you don't worship.
The fact that one messenger is selected from among and above others, UNDULY and WRONGLY (as per the quran, and common sense) should also ring the alarm bells. If you'd be following the quran, you would have to mention ALL messengers you know, or cycle through them somehow, and even that would be madness because even that would not be to follow the quran.
- As has been quoted already in this thread
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.
It is funny to see that people started to suck up to the prophet already when he was alive, although not very surpring. People have always sucked up to people in power... and all they want is association with that person in power, so that they may seem a bit more important themselves. Such ass-kissers are basically people who have no character... the hallmark sign of a hypocrite, just like the quran says. Hypocrites kiss the asses of authority, no matter what they stand for, while sensible people follow inner guidance and knows what right to do.
Second of all, when you say that you BEAR WITNESS that Muhammad is the rasul of Allah, you are in fact lying! How can you bear witness of that??? Even if you were his neighbour when he was alive, how could you ever bear such witness?? God bears witness, not you. You judge a person from his/her actions, and something his/her words, but the only thing that is left from Muhammad now is the quran, and some very doubtful narrations. Will you bear witness through such doubtful narrations? The point of the quran is anyway not to lend credibility to the messenger, it is above and beyond that.
Also, WHY do you bear witness? WHY? Because you're afraid of what will happen if you don't? Who needs you to bear witness?
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.Yes, because the mind cannot fathom God, so people get bored with God alone. But with other people mentioned, they enjoy, because this is the only thing their minds can handle. God is beyond the mind, and people are often imprisoned in their mind, unfortunately, and this is partly why people don't believe in God. The MIND, a the tool of processing it is, CANNOT see the realtiy of God. You cannot THINK God into your life... you have to FEEL(connect) God (and I'm NOT talking about emotions here!). So, it's not so odd that people resort to mentioning others beside God.
La illaha ila anta! Subhanaka! Inni kuntu minazzalimeen.

Sorry peacenotwar.
"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!"
BLUE this means this verse also mentioning about Christian.
Yeah in the end it's back to the word you said you your tafseer, me is mine.
Peace Zulf.Can you make a conclusion of your post? Because my english is poor .
La illaha ila anta
I'm not a God ya know
-
Peace Zulf,
Nice questions, something to ponder. I made a whole thread about that 631 verse after I got into a discussion with an atheist about it. That thread didn't go too well on the whole from what I remember in terms of the continual back and forth on some points that were just straightforward enough (it felt like bickering to be honest) with other members - then again, this forum has a lot of threads similar to that. I guess its just the way.
-
Peace Earthdom,
If you really can't read the word Rabbi there - there is not much more I can do. Me telling you will not make it magically connect in your brain. Have a great day.
