Shirk during salat
-
Thanks. When it comes to salat what comes to mind is for example choosing a dua/verse which praises Muhammad (besides Allah). I heard that most Muslims make this "mistake" &
"Ettehiyatu" is a classic example, this is not a Qur'an verse but it's from the hadith, and as far as I know praises Muhammad?

7218 The temples are for God, so do not call on anyone else beside God.
3936 Is God not sufficient for His servant? They frighten you with others beside Him. Whomever God sends astray, then for him there will be no guide.
3937 Whomever God guides, then there will be none that can mislead him. Is God not mighty, with Vengeance?
3938 If you ask them "Who created the heavens and the earth?" they will say, "God." Say, "Do you see what you call on besides God, If God wanted any harm for me, can they alleviate His harm? Or if He wanted a mercy for me, can they hold back his mercy?" Say, "God is sufficient for me; in Him those who trust shall put their trust."
3939 Say "O my people, work according to your way, and I will work. You will come to know."
3940 You will come to know to whom the humiliating retribution will come, and on whom descends the eternal retribution."
3941 We have sent down to you the book for the people with truth. Then, whoever is guided is guided for himself, and whoever goes astray goes astray to his own loss. You are not a keeper over them.
3942 God takes the person when it dies, and during their sleep. He then keeps those that have been overtaken by death, and He sends the others back until a predetermined time. In that are signs for a people who will think.
3943 Or have they taken intercessors besides God? Say, "What if they do not possess any power, nor understanding?"
3944 Say, "To God belong all intercessions." To Him belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, then to Him you will be returned.
3945 And yet, when God alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not acknowledge the Hereafter are filled with aversion; and when others are mentioned beside Him, they rejoice!

What do you think constitutes shirk during salat (as it is performed by most Muslims); could you give some examples?
Or a link please, if this was previously discussed.Peace,
Respectfully.They're already committing a shirk while they pray to The Exalted God The Most Powerful, One God. They call on the messenger/prophet and bless him and his sahabs and sometimes even messenger/prophet Ibraheem. Why? These two men are safely in Heaven, they can't hear it nor see them.
There is nothing we can do or say or give that would elevate to them.
We can't help them and vice versa.
They are unaware of this and yes they are sunnis.Peace.
