Does Reciting Durood Ibrahim In Salah Contradict Quran?
Grateful for the reply. I am aware that we are seeking mercy and blessings for the 2 Prophets and his family through Durood Ibrahim just as we may seek blessings for our parents which does not mean we are invoking anyone else other than Allah in our salah . Ghamidi sahab has clearly stated that we can ask Allah for all that we wish for and our desires during those phases of salah where we are praying in a muted way(ruku,sajdah, while sitting) but doesnt making Durood Ibrahim a compulsory part of every prayer as is the norm,a diversion from the real essence of offering salah. We have the liberty to join any surah with Surah Fatiha at every rikaat but Durood Ibrahim which I presume isnt the word of Allah has become the unmissable part of every Salah and not reading it at all in a prayer would make most scholars declare our prayer as invalid. If Hadiths, which as per Ghamidi sahab are not a part of Deen but rather historical recordings is the source of Durood Ibrahim then how did we make a prayer having no Quranic relation , an unmissable part of iour prayer?And what did the Muslims before Bukhari and Muslim’s source pray while sitting in salah? Isnt Durood Ibrahim’s absolute usage in every salah not straying from the actual essence of salah which is totally about one’s absolute attendance infront of Allah? I dont know if I am able to convey the whole aspect of my query but thanks.
