Ask The Imam Question and Answer

27 According to many Scholars, especially from Saudi Arabia, they say that by applying the Ya bit on the name of the Prophet (S.A.W) is not acceptable, due to the reason that our Beloved Prophet (S.A.W) is not among us, at this moment in time He is in His grave in Medina.

He (S.A.W) is not amongst us, unlike Allah (S.W.T). He is the all knowing and all seeing. So it is acceptable to say Ya Allah. Why then is the Ya added to the Prophet (S.A.W) name?
It has been the practice of the Ahle-Sunnah-Wal-Jamaat to call upon the Ambiya and Awliya in times of need and difficulty.

In the battle of Yamama when the Sahabah were fighting against Musailamah the Liar, the secret code of the Muslim soldiers was Ya-Muhammadah.

Once the foot of Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Umar (RA) became numb. A man said to him remember that what is most beloved to you. Upon this Sayadana Abdullah (RA) cried out ""Ya Muhammad"" (S.A.W) - right there and then he was released from his pain.
