Question : #101

Subject:	What does 'Sali mean in the Quran
Question:	What is the meaning of inna allaha wa malli'katuh yusaalona 3ala al-nabi? This is what I don't understand from the meaning it says Truly Allah and his angels pray upon/to Muhammad Why does Allah pray upon/to Mohammed. Why does Allah pray?
Answer:	Salaam alaykum, A better translation of this verse would be: "Indeed Allah and His angels bless the Prophet; O you who have faith! Invoke blessings on him and invoke Peace upon him in a worthy manner." (Quran, 33:56, Quli Qara'i translation) It is understood from this translation that the term 'sali' here does not mean pray, but rather means bless. Therefore, Allah is not praying to Muhammad (s); rather blessing him. Fi amanillah
