Abstract

In the view of Wahhabi elements, prayer is one of the most important acts of worship and means asking with humiliation. Citing the verse "فَلا تَدْعُوا مَعَ الله أَحَدَا", they consider reading non-gods as invalid or polytheism and consider it permissible only in ordinary matters and in the present and living audience. While examining the concept of "prayer" in the Qur'an, relying on the views of some Shiite scholars, shows that, firstly, the above verse has nothing to do with the sanctity of asking God and it is about denying the worship of non-God. Secondly, it should be known that prayer in general has other meanings and it is seen in many cases that this word has a meaning other than the prayer of worship and is not considered polytheism. Also in this verse, prayer means worship. That is, no one other than God should be worshiped; But he did not seek to boycott any non-divine prayers. Another is that the Wahhabis claim that any reading of the dead is a kind of domination of the divine affairs. While some cases of seeking unusual and impossible things are also mentioned in the Qur'an and Sunnah, contrary to their opinion. This article seeks to critique the views of the Wahhabis and their misunderstanding and to identify their erroneous examples.
