Using Ya-Proclaim

“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem”Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)

 

To Proclaim “Ya Rasool ALLAH”

“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.

Quranic refferences which refer to the prophet as – YA NABI,O PROPHET ﷺ
8/64,8/70 ,9/73,33/59,33/50,33/1,33/28,3/45,60/12,65/1,66/1,66/9

“Make not the summoning of the Messenger among yourselves, like one calls the other among you.” (Surah al-Furqan: 63) When we call upon the Prophet ﷺ it must be with utmost respect and not like how we call each other.

The “Harf-e-Nidaa” means – to use the pronoun for addressing the second person – who is present (ie. using the word “YA” which means “OH!” when addressing the Prophet ﷺ eg. “Ya Nabi! Ya Rasool!”)

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 ﷺ, “Ayyuhannabiyyu” (Oh Prophet!) ?

The religion of Islam has never commanded us to recite any Dhikr, without pondering on its meaning. we should believe that we are directly addressing the Holy Prophet ﷺ and sending Salaams to him, upon oneself and upon all the pious of the Ummat.

In the famous book of Jurisprudence, “Durr ul-Mukhtar”, it is explained: “The ‘Tashahud’  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 ﷺ 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 ﷺ. This then constitutes the ‘Tashahud’.”

So all muslims say , O (YA) Prophet every day in salat, even after His death, is it shirk , is ummah doing shirk ?

See how Aqah karim

[salehalawaalihi wasalam]

taught the whole ummah a Dua to recite for the dead or near the graves using the word “YA”

saying YA for Prophets [aleh islam] and Great Pious Muslims [awliyas] is a Sunnah.

So Salih left them, saying: “O my people! ……(7/79) The word “O my people! is mentioned for those who died, it surely conveys the idea that they(kafirs) cannot only Hear but also alive in their grave.

Tafsir ibn e Khateer Says for 7/79- These were the words of admonishment which Salih exchanged with his nation after “ALLAH HAD DESTROYED THEM” for denying him and also becoming renegades against him, rejecting to accept the Haqq (truth) plus giving preference to misguidance over guidance. Hadrat Salih (a.s) said these words after they were “DESTROYED AND THEY HEARD THEM (WORDS) TOO”

(O beloved!) And if they had come to you, when they had wronged their souls, and asked forgiveness of Allah, and the Messenger also had asked forgiveness for them, they (on the basis of this means and intercession) would have surely found Allah the Granter of repentance, extremely Merciful. (Quran 4/64
Imam Busairi (ra) writes. “O Greatest of Creation ﷺ! There is none besides you for me to take refuge in at the time of difficulties. – Qasida Burda.

Imam Zainul-Abideen (ra) states in his Qasida, “Ya Rahmatulil- ﷺ! Come and assist Zainul-Aabideen (ra) because he is a prisoner at the hands or oppressors in this procession”.

Imam-e-Aazam Abu Hanifa (ra) states, “O Leader of all leaders (ra) I come to your august court with a heartfelt desire. I am hopeful of your pleasure (radaa) and hand myself over to your protection.

When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
