Re: "Ya-Rasulullah"

not necessarily, He [pbuh] hears all durood and hum un par salamti bhej rahay hain tu why not.

problem arises wen people refer him for dua ,as if he will grant it.

Re: “Ya-Rasulullah”

another point of view ,which i believe in but only till durood.

**In this section we are dealing with the second part of the Kalima. MUHAMMADUR RASOOL ALLAH. Literally translated means MUHAMMAD MESSENGER OF ALLAH. Grammatically translated the meaning is:

** **MUHAMMAD IS THE RASOOL (MESSENGER) OF ALLAH.

**

 **If we look at the literal translation, it clearly states Muhammad the MESSENGER OF ALLAH. There is no mention of time in relation to Past, Present or Future. The grammatically correct translation states:**

Muhammad IS the Rasool (messenger) of Allah.

Muhammad [pbuh]was PRESENT (Hadar) even before the creation of heavens and earth, how can he not be PRESENT now! He is the First and the Last Prophet (Awal and Akhir these are also among the names of the Muhammad[pbuh]). Those who say it is wrong to say Ya Muhammad only think in terms of a physical body. By the same logic, has anyone seen Allah Subhana Wa Ta Ala physically? Yet we say Ya Allah.

http://www.raza.co.za/Aqeeda/Aqeeda_Harf-e-Nidaa.htm

If the “Harf-e-Nidaa” was not permissible then why is it present in the Salaah that we read five times a day, when every worshipper salutes the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), “Ayyuhannabiyyu” (Oh Prophet!) ?

In the famous book of Jurisprudence, “Durr ul-Mukhtar”, it is explained: “The ‘Tashahud’ (Du�a read in the sitting position of Namaaz) must be read in the present and not as the repetition of an event such as took place during the Me�raj when the ‘Tashahud’ was revealed. In fact, one must know and read ‘Tashahud’ and recite Allah’s Praises then make present (Haazir) the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and say ‘Assalamu alaika ayyahannabiyu …’, then the Salaam upon the present congregation and the pious peoples, and then the testament of the Oneness of Allah and the Messengership of the Prophet (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam). This then constitutes the ‘Tashahud’.”

Imam Bukhari (alaihir rahmah) in his “Kitaabul Adaabul Mufrad”, Imam Ibnus Sinni (alaihir rahmah) and Imam ibn Bashkool (alaihir rahmah) have recorded that Sayyiduna Abdullah Ibn 'Umar (radi Allahu anhuma) once suffered from a cramp. Someone advised him to remember the person whom he loved the most. The great companion then proclaimed loudly, “YA MUHAMMADAH”. It is recorded that he was immediately relieved

Re: "Ya-Rasulullah"

I think that people who call it wrong/shirt to say 'Ya Rasool' are committing bida'h. As far as I know, there was no taboo on saying this in early days of Islam. And if it could be SUCH a big problem, so as to make a person muslim and non-muslim, then wouldn't Allah and His prophet be VERY specific about this issue?
Right now, the opposers of 'Ya Rasool' are only IMPLYING things from traditions. But should they be so much irresponsible that call someone a mushrik based on traditions which are not specific about it?

28

Re: "Ya-Rasulullah"

^ in the early days of Islam, the Prophet (saw) was not dead, but rather alive and among the muslims....

bring forward a tradition from the sahaba, after the death of the Prophet (saw), where they used "ya rasul-Allah" if u wish to prove a point....

29

Re: "Ya-Rasulullah"

Salam to every body, i think all of u must know that there are 99 names of ALLAH in QURAN and as well as Muhammad (PBUH). these all names are due to the qualities they have i. e. ALLAH and Muhammad (PBUH).
and there is one name of Muhammad (PBUH) " Shahid " the meaning of which is "witness". it means that Muhammad (PBUH) is witness to all of the Muslim. so how can a person be witness unless he does not present. and according to my opinion its true to say Ya Rasullah. because we only can say YA to person who is present. and so we also can say YA Rasoolah because he is the witness to all of the Muslims.

Re: "Ya-Rasulullah"

and in our Salat we read five times a day, when every worshipper salutes the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), "Ayyuhannabiyyu" (Oh Prophet!) ?
then i dont think its wrong to say YA RasoolAllah.

if to Say YARASOOLALLAH is wrong then the "Ayyuhannabiyyu" should be change.
but we cant change the teaching of Quran and if we do so then every one aginst saying YARASOOLALLAH bater know what he is going to do

31

Re: "Ya-Rasulullah"

^ dont compare ornages and apples....

what u read in prayer is not ur own words but rather a recitation of revealed words....
just like when u read Quran there r verses which command the prophet (saw) to do certain things, it does not mean that u can also command the prophet (saw) because u read so every day in the Quran....

32

Re: “Ya-Rasulullah”

he will be a witness un to us on the day of qiyamah…
and on that they day, the Prophet (saw) shall also be brought back to life as shall the rest of us, so its not a point of a dead person being a witness…

Quran 4:41-42
*How then if We brought from each people a witness, and We brought thee as a witness against these people!
On that day those who reject Faith and disobey the messenger will wish that the earth Were made one with them: But never will they hide a single fact from Allah! *

very clear that the witness thing is about the Qiyamah and not of the present…

33

Re: “Ya-Rasulullah”

its okie but how can a person be witness unless he is not present

34

Re: "Ya-Rasulullah"

^ depends on what meaning u derive from "these people"....

also, he cud be called as witness as Allah tells us about Isa (as) in the Quran that was he who told people to take him as a god after him....
not necessarily to witness upon the daily actions of the people....

Re: "Ya-Rasulullah"

The Ahle Sunnah Wal Jama believes that to recite after every Salaah and at other times, the following verses: "As Salaatu Was Salaamu Alaika Ya Rasoolullah" (Peace and Blessings upon you, O Messenger of Allah), or to recite "As Alukash Shafaa'atu Ya Rasoolullah" (I seek from you Shafaa'at 'Intercession', O Messenger of Allah) is totally permissible.

The following Hadith proves that it is permissible to utter the above-mentioned words. Ten great Scholars of Islam have certified this Hadith Shareef. A Sahabi, who was blind by birth, was taught a special Du'a by the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), which he was to recite after every Salaah. The Du'a is as follows: "Allahumma Inni As Aluka Wa Ata Wajjahu Ilaika Binabiyika Muhammadin Nabiyyir rahmati Ya Muhammadu Inni Ata Wajjahu Bika ila Rabbi Fi Haajati haazihi lituqda li. Allahumma Fashaf'fi'u Fiya". (O Allah, I ask from you, and turn towards you through the Wasila (Medium) of Your Nabi Muhammad sallal laahu alaihi wasallam, who is indeed a Prophet of Mercy. O Muhammad, with your Wasila (Medium) I turn towards Allah for my need so that it may be bestowed. O Allah, accept the Prophet's intercession for me).

Sayyiduna Abdullah Ibn Omar (radi Allahu anhuma) once suffered from a cramp. Someone advised him to remember the person whom he loved the most. The great companion then proclaimed loudly, "Ya Muhammadah." It is recorded that he was immediately relieved. (Kitaabul Adaabul Mufrad)

It is an established practice of the people of Medina Shareef to proclaim "Ya Muhammadah" in times of difficulty and anxiety. (Naseem-ur Riyaaz)

A drought, which was known as "Aamur Ramadah" once, occurred during the Caliphate of Sayyiduna Umar Farouk (radi Allahu anhu). His tribe, the Bani Muzaina, approached him and complained that they were dying of hunger, and thus requested the Caliph to sacrifice a few sheep. When he told them that there was nothing left of the sheep, they still insisted. After the sheep were cut and cleaned they noticed that only red bones were to be seen. Sayyiduna Bilal (radi Allahu anhu), seeing this state of affairs, proclaimed loudly, "Ya Muhammadah", in grief and concern. He was then blessed with seeing the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in his dream, who informed him of future glad tidings which did occur later on.

Imaam-e-Mujtahid Sayyidi Abdur Rahman Huzaili Kufi Masoodi (alaihir rahmah) was the grandson of Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Masood (radi Allahu anhu). He was also a very great Jurist and a Taabi'in of high rank. It is stated that he used to wear a long hat with the inscribed words, "Muhammad, Ya Mansoor."

Imaan ibn Jouzi (alaihir rahmah), in his book, "Oyunil Hikaayat", narrates a strange and amazing incident of three brothers who were constantly engaged in Jihad (Holy Islamic War). He narrates: Once, while engaged in Jihad with the Christians of Rome, they were captured and tortured. The King informed them that if they adopted the religion of Christianity he would set them free. The brothers refused to do so. Instead they all proclaimed aloud, "Ya Muhammadah." The King became furious and ordered two of the brothers to be thrown into boiling oil. After a while, the youngest escaped from the clutches of his capturers accompanied by the daughter of the King, who was amazed at the piety of the young Muslim. Six months later when they were about to be married, the two martyred brothers amazingly appeared accompanied by a group of Angels. When it was inquired as to how they had survived they replied: "When you saw us being thrown into the boiling oil, you indeed saw the truth, yet as we entered the pot, we entered into the high stages of Jannah." Imam ibn Jouzi (alaihir rahmah) states that the brothers lived in Syria and were extremely famous. Many couplets have been written in their praise. This incident has been shortened.

Our object here is to highlight how beneficial it is to call out to the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). We have seen that the brothers at a time of extreme perils and danger did not hesitate in calling to the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). How were they rewarded? They were rewarded with such blessing that the two Shuhada immediately entered Jannah, while the youngest brother was saved and married the King's daughter, and the two Shuhada were actually given permission to attend the marriage of their younger brother accompanied by a group of Angels.

Sayyiduna Shah Wali'ullah Dehlwi (alaihir rahmah) states: "I cannot perceive anyone besides the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) who, for the depressed person at times of calamities, will forward a helping hand." (Ateebul Ghanum fi Madh-e-Sayyadal Arabi Wal Ajam)

Sayyiduna Shah Wali'ullah Dehlwi (alaihir rahmah) explains: In the august court of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) one should consider oneself insignificant and inferior. With a broken heart and with total sincerity, one should call to the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in Du'a. The person will indeed attain salvation if he states: "O Rasool of Allah! O Unique among the Creation! I seek your favour on the Day of Justice. On that Day when there will be a great test, only you, O Prophet of Allah, would give security from all calamities! I have turned to you for salvation and have my trust in you." (Madhiyaa Hamziya)

More than 40 great Scholars and Saints also believed that it is permissible to call out to great Saints and Prophets for assistance. Among them being Sayyiduna Uthman bin Haneef (radi Allahu anhu), Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu), Imaam Bukhari (alaihir rahmah), Imaam Muslim (alaihir rahmah), Imaam Tabraani (alaihir rahmah), Imaam ibn Jouzi (alaihir rahmah), Ghousal A'zam, Syed Abdul Qaadir Jilaani (alaihir rahmah), Imaam Jalalludeen Suyuti (alaihir rahmah), Imaam Abdul Wahab Sha'raani (alaihir rahmah), Sayyidi Ahmed Kabeer-e-Awliya Badawi (alaihir rahmah), Shah Wali'ullah Dehlwi (alaihir rahmah), etc.

The most beautiful proof of calling to the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is in the Attahiyaat, wherein every worshipper salutes and calls unto the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). If by using the Nida, causes one to be guilty of Shirk, then how is it that it is found in the Salaah? Some individuals state that, one does not have the intention of calling to the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in the Attahiyaat, rather one is merely conveying a message. This opinion is without basis. Therefore, when we are reciting the Attahiyaat, we should not possess this belief, rather we should believe that we are directly addressing the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and sending Salaams to him, upon oneself and upon all the pious of the Ummah.

It is recorded in the books, "Tanweerul Absaar" and "Sharah Durre Mukhtaar" that: "The intention which one must possess at the time of reciting the Tashahud is the concentration on the meaning of this, that is, in other words, one must remember that one is sending Salaams upon the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and that one is praising Allah Almighty. One must be assured of the fact that one is sending Salaams and not merely relaying a message."

Allama Hasan Sharanbulaani (alaihir rahmah), in his book, "Maraqi-ul-Falah", states: "Numerous Ulema have in fact clarified this belief. There are some misled individuals who profess that because Angels are deputized to convey the Salaams to the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), one should not use the Harf-e-Nidaa. What these enlightened individuals have forgotten is that twice daily the deeds of the Ummati are placed in front of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). In many authentic Ahadith, it is quite clearly stated that all deeds of the individual are placed in front of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), the deceased family and the deceased parents."

Sayyiduna Imaam Abdullah ibn Mubarruk (alaihir rahmah), narrated by Sayyiduna Sa'eed ibn Musayyib (radi Allahu anhu), who states: "Not a day or night passes by, without the deeds of the Ummati are being placed in front of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Therefore the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) recognizes his followers in two ways, firstly by their Alamat (signs) and secondly by their Amaal (deeds)."

Re: "Ya-Rasulullah"

Labeling someone kafir is so much easy these days. If you don't agree fine but plz don't comeup with terms like shirk-bis-sifaat or whateva.

FYI, fatwa of shirk only applies when someone consider sift of human equivalent to as of allah's.
