Does Reciting Durood Ibrahim In Salah Contradict Quran?
Asalam Alaikum!
I am Shahab from Calcutta and my strict belief is that Deen got completed with the revelation of the Glorious Quran and after the demise of the Prophet, there was no scope of any addition or subtraction from the religion. As far as Hadiths go, all they can be is historical records whose veracity nobody can confirm nor do they have any role to play in the Deen of Rasool Allah.
My question is:
Surah Al-Jinn, verse 72:18, states: “And that the places of worship are for Allah, so do not invoke anyone besides Him.”
This phrase ,”do not invike anyone beside him” reinforces the idea that worship should be directed solely towards Allah, and that invoking or seeking help from anyone else is not permissible.
So when we are praying Salah why would I even want to bring in Prophet Ibrahim and his family into it and Prophet Mohammed along with his family into it and seek mercy and blessing for them?
Isnt salah supposed to be a connection betweeb man and his Master, isnt salah supposed to be a complete submission to the Almighty so if all this is what it is supposed to be, then adding Durood Ibrahim is only succeeding in making the salah not just about the one who is praying and his Almighty God but also involving Ibrahim ,Mohammed and their families.
I am aware of Ghamidi sahab’s view that reading Durood Ibrahim in salah is not farz but mustahabb but why should salah seek blessing and mercy for revered Prophets abd their families when the Quran clearly asks not to invoke or involve)anyone beside Allah in prayer.
