Does the Qur’an say that Allah prays for the prophet?
The translation of Mohammed Marmaduke Pickthall, which is quite common in the West, renders Qur’an 33:56 this way: “Lo! Allah and His angels shower blessings on the Prophet.” The Critical Qur’an says: “Indeed, Allah and his angels pray for the prophet.” That’s can’t be right! Allah is supposed to be the supreme God.
