The Ruling on Supplicating with “O Mercy for the Worlds”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: Supplicating by saying “O Rahman, O Rahim, O Rahmah.” He says: Supplicating “O Rahman, O Rahim, O Rahmah for the worlds.”
Answer:
No, “O Rahmah for the worlds” is not done. Rather, saying “O Rahman, O Rahim” is good. As for “Rahmah,” it is not used in supplication. Your Eminence, the father, a questioner came to you. He says: Naming the surahs. Perhaps his intention is that “Rahmah for the worlds” is the Messenger. He is supplicating to a created being. This is shirk (associating partners with Allah). Yes.
