The most popular Quranic verse among the Muhammadan masses is 33:56 which says:
“God and His angels support the prophet ;O you who believe, you shall support him and regard him as he should be regarded.”
When you ask the average Muhammadan, ”What do the words SULLOO ‘ALAYHI mean,” he or she invariably states that they mean, “Utter Salawaat, i.e., meditate on Muhammad day and night.” Right here, one detects Satan’s trick, and his enormous success in turning sincere Muslims into idol-worshiping Muhammadans.
Only a few verses ahead of 33:56, we see a powerful commandment to commemorate our Almighty Creator, Most High, Be He Glorified For Ever – to meditate on His Holy names, and glorify Him day and night:
“O you who believe, you shall commemorate God continuously, and glorify Him day and night” (33: 41-42).
But Satan decided that he would rather see the Muslims commemorate the powerless human being Muhammad (7:188, 10:49, 18:110, 41:6, & 72:21), instead of the Living, Eternal, Lord of all creation. Although Verse 33:43 clearly states that God and His angels: support (YUSAL-LOON) all the righteous believers, Satan succeeded in manipulating the Muslim masses into becoming Muhammadans who dedicate most of their worship to the Prophet.
Let us now look at 33:56 and see what it really says:
(1) First of all, Muhammad is described in this verse as “NABI” (prophet). This particular description is used throughout the Quran, exclusively, when talking about Muhammad when he was alive, and never after his death.
Repeatedly, I have challenged the Muhammadan Ulema to show me a verse where Muhammad is referred to as NABI after his death, and they failed to meet the challenge.
(2) There are many narrations in the Quran that deal with specific historical events, and verses meant for the believers during specified periods. Any narrations connected with the word NABI were applicable only during the prophet’s life on this earth. For example, there is a commandment in 49:2 ordering the believers not to raise their voices above the voice of the NABI. How can we carry out this commandment NOW??!!
Obviously, the Prophet is dead (39:30), and has no voice ; this commandment, therefore, ended when the Prophet died.
(3) The words YUSALLOON or SALLOO or YUSALEE or SALAT are all derived from the root word WASALA, the noun being WASL, or making contact. The word SALLOO, therefore, means to keep in contact with the Prophet, to join him, to be with him, and to support him with all our strength. Of course, this could be done only when he was alive. Hence the use of the word NABI.
(4) Because the believers observe the SALAT prayers five times daily, they are in contact with their Creator, and their Creator is in contact with them. This is why we see that God and His angels do the same thing for the believers, as well as for the Prophet (33:42).
But the Muhammadans have taken the whole thing out of context, and persist in idolizing Muhammad against his will.
(5) The Prophet himself was ordered to MAKE SALAT (keep in contact or support) the believers (9:103).
]
The Muhammadan masses forget all these facts; Satan has hypnotized them into commemorating Muhammad and meditating on his name day and night. THIS IS FLAGRANT IDOL WOR-SHIP that is despised by God, his messenger, and all Muslims (only Muhammadans like it). Verse 30:40 reminds us that God is the one who created us; God is the one who provides for us; God is the one who terminates our lives; God is the one who resurrects us for recompense. None of the idols does any of these things. Thus, the true Muslims commemorate their Almighty Creator, meditate on His glorious names, and proclaim His glory day and night.

Salam Bro
I disagree with above translation in Salah we have been commanded to send peace n blessing on Mohammed “Allah and his angels send blessings on the prophet, o you who believe, send blessings on him and salute him with all respect.” [Qur’an, 33:56]. We must love him more then ourself and family after Allah swt. Please reflect on that by the way which translation of the Quran are you following cause many translations I have read and they are same as mine. may Allah guide us all, InShaAllah

7) SOME OTHER OBJECTIONS RAISED BY THOSE AGAINST THE RECITATION OF SALAWAT AND SALAAM
- a -
Some people quote the Hadith Shareef in which the Holy Prophet (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Those who visit my grave and recite Durood I can hear them and those who recite Durood from far away their Durood is brought to me”.
Using this Hadith as a basis of proof they say that the Holy Prophet (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) does not hear the voice from far away but the Durood is brought to him and if he could hear the Durood of the person far away then what would be the need for the Durood to be brought to him ?
Answer: Where in this Hadith does it say that he (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) does not hear the Durood from far away? The real meaning of this Hadith is this, that we hear the Durood of the close by and not only do we hear the Durood of the one far away but we make it approach us and be heard.
“We hear the Durood of the loved ones and make sure that those who are not the loved ones, their Durood still reaches us”.
Imam Tibraani (rahmat allahi ‘alaih) has recorded this Hadith narrated by Hadhrat Abu Darda (radi allahu ‘anhu) :
The Holy Prophet (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said: “Increase your recitation of Durood on me on Friday because on this day Angels present themselves to me. There is no servant of Allah who recites Salutations upon me, except that HIS VOICE REACHES ME from wherever he is”. The Companions asked even after your departure ? “He replied, Yes after my departure too, because Allah has made it Haraam upon the earth to consume the bodies of the Prophets”. (Jila-ul Ifhaam, by Ibn Qayyim)

It was declared in a Hadith, “When a person greets me, Allahu Ta’ala sends my soul to my body and I hear his greeting.” Some people quoting this Hadith say that the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) is not alive since his soul returns to his body only when he is greeted.
Answer: The ‘Ulama have given various answers to people who use this Hadith to try to imply that the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) is dead and that he comes alive only when someone sends Salaam. Imam Jalaal’uddeen as-Suyuti (rahmat allahi ‘alaih) listed 17 of these explanations. In the book Anba’ al-adhkiya’ fi hayat il-anbiya’ he said that “radda” means “‘ala al-dawam”, i.e. permanently, and not temporarily: in other words, Allah does not return the soul and take it back, then return it again and then take it back again, but He has returned it to the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) permanently, and the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) is alive permanently, not intermittently as some ignorant people have suggested.
Another explanation of this Hadith is that Rasoolullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) is in the ecstacy of seeing Jamaal-Allah (Allah’s beauty) and forgetful of his bodily senses. Such situations are not scarce in this world, either. One does not hear what people say to one when one is in a deep thought of worldly or heavenly affairs. Can someone who is in ecstacy of contemplatingJamaal of Allah hear any sound ?
The above explanations are very much confirmed even if the Hadith is taken literally, since there are always people at prayer (Salaah) in the world during the entire twenty-four hour cycle, and sending Salawat on the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) is part of Salaah, therefore people are constantly and permanently invoking blessings and greetings on the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) without stop in the world. This shows that the Hadith of the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) on the return of his soul takes into consideration the continuity of prayer (Salaah) concomitant with the revolving five times of prayer around the world, and that indeed he is alive in permanence, since Allah has entitled him to return every single Salaam that is made to him.

Some people say that it is wrong to send Salaam to the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) in the form of a Na’at (Verses in Praise of the Prophet ).
Answer: Rasoolullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) had amongst his Ashaab, poets who used to refute the slanders of the enemies and eulogize (praise) Rasoolullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). Rasoolullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) liked the poetry of Hassan ibn Thabit (radi allahu’anhu) the most. He offered the Mimbar to Hassan (radi allahu ‘anhu), who would censure the enemies and praise Rasoolullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) on the Mimbar. Rasoolullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) on hearing the poetry of Hassan (radi allahu ‘anhu) prayed, “Allahumma ayyidhu bi rooh hil Qudus !” (meaning : Oh Allah let the holy ghost (Jibra’il) be his helper (in recitation) !) (Mishkaat)
Furthermore, when Rasoolullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) made Hijra and entered Madina, the people sang out,
tala`a al-badru `alaynamin thaniyyat al-wada`
wajaba al-shukru `alaynama da`a lillahi da`
‘Ulama from time immemorial have been writing and reciting Na’at and Qasa’id in Praise of Rasoolullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) in a variety of languages. Moulvi Ashraf ‘Ali Thanwi, Moulvi Qaasim Nanotwi and many other scholars of Deoband have done so also.

Another false and baseless accusation is that those that practise Qiyaam claim that it is Fardh to practice Qiyaam.
Answer : No one has ever said that the act of Qiyaam is Fardh. A’la Hadhrat, Imam-i-Ahl as-Sunnat, Mawlana Ahmad Raza Khan (rahmat allahi ‘alaih) writes, “Qiyaam is consistently practised by famous Imams. None of them refuted or denied this. Therefore, it is Mustahab (recommended)”. (Iqaamatul Qiyaamah, Page 19, Noori Qutub Khana)

Some people say that it is wrong to send Salawat and Salaam because those who read Salaam, put a chair in the gathering and say that the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) is sitting on the chair whilst the Salaam is being read.
Answer:The curse of Allah is on those liars ! No true Muslim has ever done such a thing. Certain groups in the community go out of their way to spread confusion and falsehood amongst the people and more specifically, the youth. They have concocted such silly rumours (which are only indicative of their minds and hearts) in order to instill suspicion and hatred in the hearts of some of the youth against those who practice Salawat and Salaam (Salaami). Such rumours are started because these people are unable to provide any proof from the Shari’ah that forbids Salaami. So what happens is that, when they are questioned as to the permissibility of reading Salaami etc., (by the youth) they can not provide any evidence, so they make up such evil rumours.
Many of the youth don’t know why they were told not to send Blessings and Salutations on the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam). This is because they were brainwashed by their local ‘aalim/ ameer/ relatives/ friends not to do it, and not to ask why they should not do it.Many of the youth live in areas away from major city centres where they have never been exposed to Salawat and Salaam, Mawlid etc. but have only been lied to and brainwashed by silly rumours initiated by those who are not scholarly enough to present any authoritative evidence in refutation of it. Many youth come from country townsto workand to study in tertiary institutions. So when they enter a mosque or a Jamaa’at Khana at the University or in the area that they are boarding, and if Salaam is recited, they rush out of the musjid as if a grave sin is being committed. Then, (like their elders) start to initiate silly rumours and theories as to why Blessings and Salutations should not be sent to the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam).
May Allah Ta’ala guide us on Siraatul Mustaqeem and instill in our hearts the true love for Taajidare Madina, Muhammadur Rasoolullah (sallalaahu alaihi wasallam). Aameen.
