Asalamu Alykum warahmatulahe wabarakatu brother,
my question is that there are some christians who made a video on youtube where they saying that Allah( Swt) sends blessings and PRAYERS to Muhammad( peace be upon him). so they are saying that muslims worship Muhammad( Peace be upon him) which i don t believe
and in this video at 0 34 seconds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsXl46ECnMQ
where sheikh Arifi says prayers from Allah.
Can you answer regarding my question.

As'salamu Alaikum dear brother Masoud,
The Arabic word is "YUSALLI", which is derived from the root word "SILAH", which means a direct relationship, and also it means direct connection and/or direct contact. Allah Almighty Makes this DIRECT link between Him, the Almighty, and His servants through the Holy Spirit, the Angels and other means. This is when Allah Almighty Sends His Mercy, Peace and Blessings upon the certain creation of His (the Almighty's) Choice:
"Raised high above ranks (or degrees), (He is) the Lord of the Throne (of Authority): by His Command doth He send the Spirit (of inspiration) to any of His servants he pleases, that it may warn (men) of the Day of Mutual Meeting,- (The Noble Quran, 40:15)"Please visit:

Another blow for the polytheist shias, because they pray to Allah Almighty through members of Ahlul Bayt, exactly as Christians worship the Lord Jesus Christ and his Mother Mary, peace be upon them. Yet, the Glorious Quran is clear about how Allah Almighty Communicates with His Beloved and Pious and Chosen Servants.
By the way, this is an Original Concept, but the Jews and Christians adulterated it and created the lied of SONS & DAUGHTERS OF GOD, where in fact they are no more than beloved creations to Allah Almighty:
"And they say: "(God) Most Gracious has begotten offspring." Glory to Him! they are (but) servants raised to honour. (The Noble Quran, 21:26)"
"Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. (The Noble Quran, 112:1-4)"Please visit:
