Question:
Salam Alaikum, shaykh quick question.
We as the new generation write the salawat after prophet alaihi salam‘s name as “(s)” and “saw” and “saaw” or “pbuh”. In Arabic we write just the “saad”. I’ve came across some references that says it’s kufr to write it like that and the person is kafir. We or I should say me have n0 adab. And we often make mistakes. When this photo above which happened in Lahore on the day 12th rabiul awwal, for me I thought we can write it like that since it naturally appeared in the sky. Would writing in “saw” or abbreviated forms make us kafir?
Answer:
Wa Alaykum Salam,
Those who make everyone kafir for such things should beware of Allah’s anger and Allah knows best. Every action is by intention.
