Salaat al-Naariyah

Salaat al-Naariyah
“Allahumma salli salaatan kaamilatan wasallim salaaman taamman ‘ala sayyidina muhammadin alladhi(allathi in some prose) tan’hil bihi il uq’ad· watatafarrij bih il karb· wataq’dhi bih il hawaa’ij· wa tanaal bih ir raghaa’ib· wa hasan al khawaayitam wa yastasq il ghamaam bi wajhih il kareem wa ‘ala ‘aalihi wa sah’bihi fee kulli lamhatin wa nafs”The above recitation is called salaat un naaria in india and recited 4444 times whenever a calamity falls in a house by bringing many students and the chief of a madhrasaa.
1. What is the meaning of the above words and is there any shirk in the wordings?
2. People say if there is no shirk we can continue reciting because it is not harmful because it is a type of dhikr and it reminds them of allah and that we are doing some kind of additional dhikr to bring us closer to allah and to removesome museebath.
3. What is the ruling on maulid recitation· is there any harm in reciting it periodically by calling some students of madhrasaa or imam of masjid.
[The translation of these words is as follows:
“O Allaah, send perfect blessings and complete peace upon our master Muhammad by virtue of whom [as some of them say] all obstacles are removed, distress is relieved, needs are met, desires are fulfilled and a good end may be achieved and by virtue of whose noble face clouds may be sent, and [send blessings and peace] upon his family and companions with every breath and glance.”]
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
1. The words of this innovated prayer are clear enough, but there is nothing wrong with explaining them further.
“obstacles are removed” means, a way out is found from whatever obstacles and difficult matters one is faced with.
The phrase may also mean “by virtue of whom anger is calmed.”
“distress is relieved” means anxiety and grief are taken away.
“needs are met” means one gets what one is trying to achieve.
“desires are fulfilled and a good end may be achieved” means his wishes are fulfilled whether that is in this world or in the Hereafter, one of which is that one meets a good end.
“by virtue of whose noble face clouds may be sent” means that he is asked to pray to Allaah to send rain.
2. What some people have told you – that this prayer does not involve shirk and that it is permissible for you to continue to recite it – is wrong. This so-called prayer includes things which clearly go against Islam, such as the following:
(i) It is supposed to be said at times of calamity. This is a contrived reason for an innovated act of worship.
(ii) It is supposed to be recited a set number of times, 4444 times. This is a contrived amount for an innovated act of worship.
(iii) It is supposed to be recited in a communal fashion. This is a contrived method for an innovated act of worship
(iv) It contains phrases which go against Islam, which constitute shirk and which are an exaggeration about the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). It attributes to him actions which cannot be attributed to anyone other than Allaah, such as meeting people’s needs, relieving distress, fulfilling their desires and granting a good end. Allaah commanded His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him):
“Say: ‘It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to the Right Path’”
[al-Jinn 72:21 – interpretation of the meaning]
(v) It ignores what is taught in the sharee’ah, and makes up a contrived prayer and supplication. This implies that one is accusing the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) of failing to explain everything that the people need, and that one is trying to fill gaps in the sharee’ah.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘Whoever innovates anything in this matter of ours (Islam) that is not a part of it, will have it rejected”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2550; Muslim, 1718).
According to a report narrated by Muslim (1718), he said: “Whoever does any action that is not in accordance with this matter of ours (Islam) will have it rejected.”
Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “This hadeeth represents one of the most important basic principles of Islam. It is like a yardstick for measuring the outward appearance of actions, just as the hadeeth ‘Actions are but by intentions’ is a yardstick for measuring the inward nature of actions. Just as actions which are not done for the sake of Allaah bring no reward to the one who does them, so too actions which are not done in accordance with the command of Allaah and His Messenger are rejected and thrown back at the one who does them. Everyone who innovates something in the religion for which Allaah and His Messenger have not granted permission, that action has nothing to do with the religion.”(Jaami’ al-‘Uloom wa’l-Hukam, 1/180)
Al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “This hadeeth is one of the most important basic principles of Islam and is one of the most comprehensive sayings of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). It is a clear rejection of bid’ah and innovations. The second report adds a further idea, which is that some people may persist in doing some innovated action (bid’ah) for which there is a precedent, and when the first report – ‘Whoever innovates anything…’ – is quoted as proof, such a person may say, ‘But I did not innovate anything. Then the second report – ‘Whoever does any action…’ – may be quoted, which clearly states that all innovated actions are rejected, whether the one who does them invented them or they were previously invented. This hadeeth is one of those which should be memorized and used in denouncing evil actions, and it should be propagated widely.”(Sharh Muslim, 12/16)
3. With regard to celebrating the Mawlid (birthday of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)), doing this is bid’ah. If it was good, those who love the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) more than we do would have done it before us, i.e., the Sahaabah, may Allaah be pleased with them. Most of what is recited on this occasion are weak or fabricated reports of the life of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and it involves exaggeration about our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). There follow the comments of the scholars:
(a) Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked about the one who completes the reading of the Qur’aan each year on the night of the birthday of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) – is that mustahabb or not?
He replied:
“Praise be to Allaah. For the people to come together to eat on the two Eids and the days of Tashreeq is Sunnah. This is one of the symbols of Islam which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) set out for the Muslims. Helping the poor by giving them food during Ramadaan is also one of the ways of Islam. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘Whoever gives a fasting person food to break his fast will have a reward like his.’ Giving poor Qur’aan-readers that which will help them to devote their time to the Qur’aan is a righteous deed at any time, and whoever helps them in this manner will have a share in the reward.
But taking as special occasions days which are not prescribed in Islam – such as one of the nights of Rabee’ al-Awwal which is called Laylat al-Mawlid (the night of the Prophet’s birthday), or some of the nights of Rajab, or the eighteenth of Dhu’l-Hijjah, or the first Friday of Rajab, or the eighth of Shawwaal, which the ignorant call ‘Eid al-Abraar (the Feast of the Righteous)’ – these are bid’ahs which the salaf did not regard as mustahabb and they did not do these things. And Allaah knows best.”(al-Fataawa al-Kubraa, 4/415)
(b) Ibn al-Haaj said:
“Some of them commit actions at this time which go against this meaning. When the month of Rabee’ al-Awwal begins, they hasten to indulge in idle entertainment, playing the daff (hand-drum) and reed flute, and other things as mentioned above.
Whoever wants to weep, let him weep for himself and for Islam, and how it and its people and those who follow the Sunnah have become alienated. If they simply wanted to sing songs and entertain themselves, I wish that they would limit themselves to that. But some of them try to follow proper etiquette, so they start the Mawlid with the recitation of Qur’aan. So they look for the one who can recite in the most melodious fashion and provoke enjoyment, and he reads ten aayahs. There are several things wrong with this:
(i) the way in which the reciter reads in this manner which is condemned in sharee’ah, with a quavering tone like that of a singer. This has been discussed above.
(ii) This involves a lack of proper respect towards the Book of Allaah.
(iii) They read Qur’aan briefly before turning to what they really desire, which is to listen to the entertainment of the tambourine and reed-flute, and the singing and quavering tones of the singers, etc.
(iv) They show outwardly something different from that which is in their hearts. This is the essence of hypocrisy, whereby a person makes an outward display of something when deep inside he really means something else – this is wrong except in cases specifically exempted by sharee’ah. They start with Qur’aan recitation when the thoughts of some of them are really focused on the singing.
(v) Some of them cut the recitation short, because they are thinking too much of the pleasure of that which comes after it, as mentioned above.
(vi) If the Qur’aan reading goes on for a long time, some of the audience begin to show signs of boredom, and they do not settle down until the entertainment they like begins. This is not what is meant by the description which Allaah gives of the humble believers, because they love to hear the words of the Lord, as He says in praise of them (interpretation of the meaning):
‘And when they listen to what has been sent down to the Messenger (Muhammad), you see their eyes overflowing with tears because of the truth they have recognized. They say: “Our Lord! We believe; so write us down among the witnesses”’[al-Maa’idah 5:83]
This is how Allaah describes those who listen to His words. But some of these people do the opposite of that. After listening to the word of their Lord, they get up to dance and celebrate and enjoy themselves in unseemly ways. “Truly, to Allaah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return” [al-Baqarah 2:156 – interpretation of the meaning. This phrase is an expression of grief and sorrow] for the lack of shame for committing sins. They do the deeds of the Shaytaan and seek reward from the Lord of the Worlds, claiming that they are doing acts of worship and goodness. Would that only the lowest of people did that, but now this problem has become widespread and you see those who claim to have some knowledge and good deeds doing that, and even some of those who claim to be shaykhs, i.e., those who have followers. All of them are included in what is said above.
It is strange that they have been deceived by this trick of the accursed Shaytaan. Do you not see that a wine-drinker, when the wine first starts to take effect, he begins to move his head non-stop. When the effect becomes stronger, he loses his shame and dignity before those who are with him, and what he wants to conceal will be exposed to his companions. Look at this singer, may Allaah have mercy on you and us. When he starts to sing, you will see people who have dignity and respect, who appear decent and are followed by people of knowledge, falling silent when he starts to sing. Then they start to move their heads a little, exactly like wine-drinkers, as described above. Then when they really start to enjoy the entertainment, they lose their shyness and dignity, exactly like the wine-drinkers, so they get up and start to dance and shout and weep in a show of fake humility. They move in and out and raise their arms and heads towards the heavens as if receiving divine inspiration. They start to foam at the mouth and may even rend their garments and play with their beards.
This is obviously something to be denounced, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade wasting money, and rending one’s garments is obviously included in that.
Secondly, this obviously goes beyond the limits of common sense, because they act like crazy people most of the time.”(al-Madkhal, 2/5-7)
(c) The Standing Committee said:
“Celebrating the birthday of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is not permitted because it is an invented bid’ah (innovation) which was not done by the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) or by his rightly-guided successors (al-khulafa’ al-raashideen), or by the scholars of the best three generations [i.e., the first three generations of Islam].”
(Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, 3/2)
(d) Shaykh Ibn Baaz was asked: is it permissible for the Muslims to hold celebrations in the mosque to commemorate the life of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) on the night of 12 Rabee’ al-Awwal, to celebrate the Mawlid or birthday of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), without taking that day off as an “Eid”? We are having some disputes concerning this. Some say that it is a bid’ah hasanah (“a good innovation”) and some say that it is not a good innovation.
He replied:
“The Muslims should not celebrate the birthday of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), whether on the night of 12 Rabee’ al-Awwal or on any other date, just as they should not celebrate the birthday of anyone other than the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), because celebrating birthdays is an innovation which has been introduced into the religion. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not celebrate his birthday during his lifetime, and he is the one who conveyed the religion and laws from Allaah. He did not enjoin that, and it was not done by his rightly guided successors or by any of his Companions or those who followed them in goodness during the best three generations. So it is known to be an innovation, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘Whoever innovates anything in this matter of ours (Islam) that is not a part of it, will have it rejected’ (Saheeh – agreed upon). According to a report narrated by Muslim, which al-Bukhaari narrated in a mu’allaq majzoom report: “Whoever does any action that is not in accordance with this matter of ours (Islam) will have it rejected.”
Celebrating the Mawlid is not in accordance with the command of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), rather it is something which the people innovated and introduced into their religion during later centuries, so it is to be rejected. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to say in his khutbah (sermon) on Fridays: ‘The best of speech is the Book of Allaah and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). The most evil of things are those which are newly-invented, and every innovation is a going-astray.’ This was narrated by Muslim in his Saheeh. It was also narrated by al-Nasaa’i with a jayyid isnaad, adding the words, ‘and every going-astray leads to Hell.’
Instead of celebrating the birthday of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), we should study his seerah (biography) and the history of his life during the jaahiliyyah and Islam, in schools, mosques and elsewhere. That includes describing the circumstances of his birth and death, with no need to innovate celebrations which are not prescribed by Allaah or His Messenger, and for which there is no evidence in sharee’ah.
Allaah is the Source of Strength. We ask Allaah to grant guidance and strength to all the Muslims and to help them to follow the Sunnah and avoid bid’ah.”
(Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz, 4/289)
And Allaah knows best.

Dear Muslim Brothers & Sisters,
Assalamu Alaikum (Warah..)
Do not get confused by thses lengthy explanations condemning some of the relegious activities practised by our Muslim brothers & sisters for generations. And do not stop reciting 'Salawath' on our prophet (sal) which carries great rewards by simply believing those justifications.
Just to remid some key points..
1) Almighty Allah has praised our prophet(sal) in many places in Holy Quran and ultimately commands mankind to recite salawath as Allah and His Angels (Malaayikath) recite salawath on Nabi Mohammad (sal) through a specific verse in Holy Quran (Innallaha wa-malayikathuhu Yusalloona alannabi...). We will get more rewards for reciting 'Salawath' for fullfulling Allah's commad rather commiting a 'shirk' by reciting salawath and it will strengthen our love for Almighty Allah, Prophet Muhammad (Sal) and strengthen our faith in Islam
2) Secondly, those words praising prophet Mohammad (sal) in 'Maulid' or 'Burdha' do not anyway describe our Prophet as 'God' to consider as 'shirk' but rather most of the words are mere expression of Muhabbath on prophet with most of it describe incidents of Prophet's life (such as Badr War, Mihraj etc) and also those words Almighty Allah Himself used to call our Prophet(sal) in Holy Quran and those names with which Prophet's companions used to call him during prophet's life which he never objected to it. By reciting these salawaths, we recall prophet's life, history of Islam and some of Allah's commands (Quran verses) which will deepen our faith (Imaan) and will motivate us to become sincere muslims.
3) Thirdly, our ancestor Muslims (even those before our Prophet Muhammad such as followers of Musa) used to invoke prophet's name during their Dua at the time of calamity and succeeded in getting their calamities removed with Mercy of Allah. Remember that our Dua will not be accepted if it is not recited with Salawath on Prophet Muhammad (sal). Remembr, how sincere are we in practising Islam to get our Dua accepted straightaway without seeking our Prophet's intercession!
So, let us recite more Salawaths on Prophet (Sal) to get blessings of Almighty Allah, to get our Dua accepted, to get love of Prophet (sal) and to strengthen our Imaan. Insha-Allah.
Finally, I suggest to promote articles of unity through this online forum rather than promoting 'divisive articles' which further divide our Muslim community already split with too many factions.

Asslamu Alaikum Anvardeen,
"Allah never accepts any kind of good deeds from his slaves" - Here
we have an understanding issue. Just would like to highlight few points and
please correct me if am wrong.
1. Volume 3, Book 31, Number 196: -This is a prayer/good deed
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As:
Allah's Apostle said to me, "O 'Abdullah! Have I not been informed that you fast during the day and offer prayers all the night." 'Abdullah replied, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet said, "Don't do that; fast for few days and then give it up for few days, offer prayers and also sleep at night, as your body has a right on you, and your wife has a right on you, and your guest has a right on you. And it is sufficient for you to fast three days in a month, as the reward of a good deed is multiplied ten times, so it will be like fasting throughout the year." I insisted (on fasting) and so I was given a hard instruction. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have power." The Prophet said, "Fast like the fasting of the Prophet David and do not fast more than that." I said, "How was the fasting of the Prophet of Allah, David?" He said, "Half of the year," (i.e. he used to fast on every alternate day).
From the above hadith, My understanding is without getting instruction from Allah's Apostle, Abdullah was fasting all the day for good deeds, after knowing this the prophet advised him to fast 3 days in a month or every alternate days and he never said that these good deeds are "SHIRK". He considered the other factors like family, relatives & etc and gave hard instruction to fast alternate days.
2. When Holy Prophet decided to lead an
expedition, to Tabuk on the Syrian border. In order to finance the expedition,
the Holy Prophet invited contributions and donations from his followers. Umar
had then considerable money with him. He thought that that was the
occasion when he might excel Abu Bakr in the doing of good. Umar went home
and brought his donation. The Holy Prophet enquired of Umar as to what he
had left behind for himself and his family. Umar stated that he had donated one
half of his wealth in the name of Allah and had left one half for himself
and his family. Then Abu Bakr came with his donation and the Holy Prophet
put him the same question as to how much he had left for himself and his family.
- Here also, Abu Bakr tried to do as many good deeds as possible, even though we have a clear instruction for sadaka mentioned in Holy Quran and shared by our beloved Rasool(SAW). Do we say that Abu bakr activity is "SHIRK"?
3. A person asked Allah’s Messenger (saas): “What is faith?” He said: “When a good deed becomes a source of pleasure for you and an evil deed becomes a source of disgust for you, then you are a believer.” He again said to Allah’s Messenger (saas): “What is a sin?” Whereupon he said: “When something pricks your conscience, give it up.” (Tirmidhi)
-Good deeds are always good deed and will help us to reach the almighty closer. It all depends upon the individuals view
4. " Whoever possesses the following three qualities will have the sweetness (delight) of faith: 1. the one to whom Allah and His Apostle becomes dearer than anything else. 2. Who loves a person and he loves him only for Allah's sake. 3. Who hates to revert to Atheism (disbelief) as he hates to be thrown into the fire." (Bukhari)
No one will say that the prophet placed next to Allah (Asthahufirulla), has equal importance but the message is the prophet has been praised.
Final message: I believe, we don’t have any hard instruction to recite Salat or praise other prophets. Also, Allah had mentioned many of them in Quran and its individual’s views to compare the praising with Almighty which our brothers started doing now. We never blame ourselves or our colleagues calling our office manager as a manager, even though our real manager is Almighty Allah. We know the difference right?
Likewise, In Salaat al-Naariyah it’s nowhere compared the prophet with the Almighty. As brother Mydeen said Almighty Allah has praised our prophet(sal) in many places in Holy Quran and ultimately commands mankind to recite salawath. So, I don’t think its SHIRK to recite Salaat al-Naariyah
Allah knows the best.

First we should define what is Religious..
Whether based on our prophet (PUP) or anyone?
Then we need to know who is our original forfathers?
Whether Prophet Nabi (PUH) / His companions and Tabiyeens or Just 100 - 200 old Tradions (which might have mingled with local Religion like Hindusism)?

Dear Brother Khaja Moyenudeen,
I find your questions irrelevent as we all muslims discussing here in this online forum. Ofcourse, when i say religuous means pious person who follows Quran & Prophet (sal) sincerely with sincere love of Allah & His Prophet (sal).
Secondly, we are not talking about India alone where Hinduism is prominent. Some of the practices which Wahhabis describe as 'Shirk' (reciting maulid, Burdha, salawath, fatiha etc) are practised in many Muslim countries in the world such as South East Asia, Central Asia and Africa. Even now, such practices are quite common in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei and approved by their Central Islamic body comprising Ulemas or highly educated Islamic scholars.
If some ignoent muslim villagers in India doing certain unIslamic things in Dargahs in India (similar to Hinduism), you may pinpoint them to correct their mistakes rather than declaring all those actions within boundary of Islamic teachings as 'Shirk' such as doing 'ziarath' at the shrines of 'aulias' who spread Islam in India and preventing our muslim brothers & sisters from reciting Fatiha /Charity for their relatives who passed away. Based on my understanding of Quaran & Hadeeth, there is nothing wrong in it and in fact it is commanded by Allah in Holy Quraan t'o spend & pray from the wealth of the deceased'.

Dear All, Assalamu Alaikum varahmathullah. Praise be to Allah. All the below hadidh's quoted which are related to good deeds (other than 'Fardh') such as prayer, fasting are called 'Nafil'. Here, we need to understand that the good deeds (Nafil) which were done by our Sahaba's were not created by themselves and whatever guided in the way (how to pray & how to fast) of our beloved prophet Mohamed (Sal), they did. And also note that no one fasting more than a day without interval & no one praying with their different actions other than guided. Since, the deeds such as Maulid, Burdah etc. (which were created by our forefathers themselves) are not fall under the same category. The below written by our brother Sahul in his email: "Allah has praised our prophet Mohamed (sal) in many places in the Holy Quran and ultimately command mankind to recite Salavath." Then, why we aren't reciting the Quran regularly instead of reciting others?? Do you think other wordings are beautiful than the wordings mentioned in our Holy Quran to praise our prophet Mohamed (sal)?? Brother, kindly note that some places in the Quran, Allah has said: not satisfied with our prophet Mohamed (sal) actions also. Allah knows best & guide us to the right path.

Dear Brothers,
Assalamu alaikum warah...
Though there are many verses in Quran that praises our beloved Prophet Muhammad (sal), I would like to highlight one particular verse in which Allah describes prophet Muhammad with His own attributes of 'Rauf' & 'Raheem (from Asma-ul-husna)'.
Al-Quran (Chapter 9, Verse:128).
لَقَدۡ جَآءَڪُمۡ رَسُولٌ۬ مِّنۡ أَنفُسِڪُمۡ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيۡهِ مَا عَنِتُّمۡ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيۡڪُم بِٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ رَءُوفٌ۬ رَّحِيمٌ۬ (١٢٨)
There hath come unto you a messenger, (one) of yourselves, unto whom aught that ye are overburdened is grievous, full of concern for you, for the believers full of pity, merciful. (128)
To those who are against parising our beloved Prophet or even refuse to recite Salawath on him, don't you understand the significance our beloved prophet even after reading the above verse! May Allah Guide Us in the straight Path! Ameen!

According to Shari'ah, the definition is ‘Worshipping Allah in ways that Allah has not prescribed.’ If you wish you may say, ‘Worshipping Allah in ways that are not those of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) or his rightly guided successors (al-khulafaa’ al-raashidoon).’”
The first definition is taken from the ayah (interpretation of the meaning):
“Or have they partners with Allah (false gods) who have instituted for them a religion which Allah has not ordained?” (Quran 42:21)
The second definition is taken from the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said:
“I urge you to adhere to my way (Sunnah) and the way of the rightly-guided successors (al-khulafa’ al-raashidoon) who come after me. Hold fast to it and bite onto it with your eyeteeth [i.e., cling firmly to it], and beware of newly-invented matters.”
So everyone who worships Allah in a manner that Allah has not prescribed or in a manner that is not in accordance with the way of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) or his rightly-guided successors (al-khulafa’ al-raashidoon), is an innovator, whether that innovated worship has to do with the names and attributes of Allah, or to do with His rulings and laws.

Brother Anwardeen,
I know it is hard to discuss with people who are deep-rooted in Wahhabi ideologies and will always beat around the bush.
Allah knows best what is in their heart when millions or even billoins of muslims all over the world recite salawath, as commanded by Allah in Holy Quran. If you call these muslims as 'mushrik' (people who performs shirk) or people of Bidah, Allah is sufficient to take care of you. Baware!
I do not wish to get any more response from you in this regard

Dear Brothers (especially Sultan Maideen),
Please READ QURAN understanding its indepth meaning and understand how Allah has described our Prophet in many places. Especially when Almighty Allah calls our prophet Muhammad (sal) as 'Rahmathul lil Alamin', He has already bestowed our prophet Muhammad(sal) with those divine attributes described in Salawathunnaria or even more than these which we know not. There is NO Shirk in reciting this salawath but rather by reciting this we acknowledge in our heart that His Messenger as superior creation by Allah and who has come as 'Mercy to Universe', especially mankind. May Allah be Pleased with this! Ameen!
Dear brothers who have fallen to Wahhabi's beliefs, Try to understand. Our Prophet Muhammad is NOT an ordinary human being like you and me or simply a post man to deliver Quran (what some of your guys describe)!! He is Divine Creation! Beware of what you describe him!
I am not going to respond any more on this. It is up to you guys to ponder over what I shared so far and get away from Wahhabi thoughts which merely confuse many innocent Muslims as it term each & every actions not mentioned in Quran as 'shirk' or 'bidah' without analysing it carefully.
May Allah show us Straightpath and unite us as strong community as Muslims though we have differing views on certain matters like this!

Salathun Naria |
|
Fatwa Date : Thul-Hijjah 15, 1421 / 11-3-2001 |
Question
Please
give Fatwa on Salathun Naria
Please find the attachment " SALATHUN NARIA" 1 and 2 (With English
translation) and its widely recited in the asian sub continent countries like
India, Sri Lanka and some other places in order to get good deeds from Allahu
(SWT) Therefore, kindy send your fatwa to my e-mail address given below on this
matter with full details quoting from Quran and Ahdiths whether it can be
recited or not.
Answer
Praise
be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and blessings and peace be upon our
Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.
The Salat Naria was not reported from the Prophet. Moreover it contains some
false meanings that contradict the Sharia. In fact Allah is The Only One who
unties the knots. Allah is The Only One Who eases the sufferings. It is He Who
satisfies the needs. Allah Says (interpretation of meaning): {Or who listens to
the distressed when he calls on Him and Who relieves his suffering, and makes
you (Mankind) inheritors of the earth? (Can there be another) god besides
Allah? Little it is that you heed)}[27:62].
Think about this and the meaning of the following Hadith.
The Prophet once said to his daughter Fatima and other relatives: The Prophet
said, "O Bani 'Abd Munaf! Buy yourselves from Allah; O Bani
'Abdul-Muttalib! Buy yourselves from Allah; O mother of Az-Zubair bin Al-Awwam,
the aunt of Allah's Apostle, and O Fatima bint Muhammad! Buy yourselves from
Allah, for I cannot defend you before Allah. You can ask me from my property as
much as you like."
As for the sound way of asking blessings for the Prophet it is what he (the Prophet)
himself said when asked: Imam Bukhari narrated in explanation of this verse
that Ka'b bin Ujrah said, "We asked Allah's Apostle saying, 'O Allah's
Apostle! How should one (ask Allah to) send blessings on you, the members of
the family, for Allah has taught us how to salute you (in the prayer)?' He
said, 'say: (اللهم صل على محمد وعلى آل محمد، كما صليت على آل إبراهيم، إنك حميد
مجيد. اللهم بارك على محمد وعلى آل محمد، كما باركت على آل إبراهيم، إنك حميد
مجيد)
O Allah! Send Your Mercy on Muhammad and on the family of Muhammad, as You sent
Your Mercy on Abraham and on the family of Abraham, for You are the Most
Praiseworthy, the Most Glorious. O Allah! Send Your Blessings on Muhammad and
the family of Muhammad, as You sent your Blessings on Abraham and on the family
of Abraham, for You are the Most Praiseworthy, the Most Glorious.' It is
narrated in another narration from Abu Humaid as-Saidi he said: The people
asked, "O Allah's Apostle! How shall we (ask Allah to) send blessings on
you?" Allah's Apostle replied, "Say:
(اللهم صل على محمد عبدك وعلى آله وأزواجه وذريته كما صليت على إبراهيم وآل
إبراهيم، وبارك على محمد وآله وأزواجه وذريته كما باركت على إبراهيم وآل إبراهيم
إنك حميد مجيد).
O Allah! Send Your Mercy on Muhammad and on his wives and on his offspring, as
You sent Your Mercy on Abraham's family; and send Your Blessings on Muhammad
and on his offspring, as You sent Your Blessings on Abraham's family, for You
are the Most Praiseworthy, the Most Glorious." All these forms are
correct.
So, the Salah you mentioned is null and a bad innovation that is incorrect and
impossible to be from the Prophet. Even its name Naria (part of Hell-fire) is a
clear evidence that it is from ignorant, fairy story tellers and innovators.
So, one should enlighten people about this innovation and cease repeating it if
he used to say it. He should also repent to Allah and ask forgiveness from Him
and worship Him with what He has revealed to His Prophet, not with myths and
innovations.
May Allah protect us all from these innovations. Allah knows best.
