Him Upon Peace Muhammad Prophet
Name: famster
Comments: Muslims say "peace be upon him" because God commanded it in the Qur'an in chapter 33 verse 56.
| QUOTE |
| Qur'an 33:56 "Surely Allah and His angels bless the Prophet; O you who believe! call for (Divine) blessings on him and salute him with a (becoming) salutation." |
When this verse was revealed the Muslims at the time asked the Holy Prophet: "How are we to seek blessings on you?" He said:
| QUOTE |
| "Say: 'O Allah, send blessings on Muhammad and on the al (children) of Muhammad." |
In Arabic, sending blessings on the prophet is called Salawaat.
ibn Hajar Makki writes in his Sawa-iq al Muhriqah, on page 87, that the Holy Prophet warned the people not to send salawat which has lost the tail I.e. Curtailed. When asked what a curtailed salawat was he replied: "If you stop at 'peace be upon him' You should say:
| QUOTE |
| 'O Allah, send your blessings on Muhammad and the family of muhammaad' |
In other words Muslims should be saying "peace be upon him & his family" but for one reason or another the majority of muslims have dropped the family from the salawaat.
