Thank you Dr Andani. Is Salwat considered to be a prayer for the Prophet and his family and if yes, does that not contradict the notion that since they are considered without sinpure and don’t need our prayers?

Salawaat is a prayer formally speaking but no prayer in reality is an attempt to change God or make God do something. Salawat is a prayer of witnessing —- to witness that Allah is always and eternally sending His ta’yid upon Muhammad and the Imams.

Thank you, I ask to learn and not for any other reason. So why pray if we cannot influence?
