If you want to give a gift to someone you respect, then you should be going to them, or at least having it delivered to them, not expecting them to come and take it. This is mentioned in many verses of the Qur’an.Ģ) we see the idea of the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wasallam coming to take salaams as disrespectful. We say that this is not right, for 2 reasons:ġ) only Allah is omnipresent – only Allah can be everywhere and be watching everything at all times. They believe that the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is present and watching wherever the salaams are given That is why many stand up thinking he Sallallahu alayhi wasallam is present. In contrast, some people believe that when they send salaams to the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wasallam with these words, the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam comes to the gathering to take the salaam.

So why is the first not allowed, when the second is allowed.Īnswer: Saying ya nabiy salam alayka, which is a way of sending salaams to the Prophet (Saw) is allowed as long as you leave it at that. In Salaah, we say السلام عليك أيها النبي (assalamu alaika ayyuhan nabiyyu). Question: Is it true that you cannot you say يا نبي سلام عليك (ya nabiy salam alayka)?
