Of course. It’s in the Qur’an:
“It is not for the Prophet and those who have believed to ask forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they were relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are companions of Hellfire.” (Qur’an 9:113)
“There has already been for you an excellent pattern in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people, ‘Indeed, we are disassociated from you and from whatever you worship other than Allah. We have denied you, and there has appeared between us and you animosity and hatred forever until you believe in Allah alone’ except for the saying of Abraham to his father, ‘I will surely ask forgiveness for you, but I have not for you anything against Allah. Our Lord, upon You we have relied, and to You we have returned, and to You is the destination.” (Qur’an 60:4)
This means that Abraham is an “excellent pattern,” someone to be imitated, when he says that there is “between us and you animosity and hatred forever until you believe in Allah alone,” but Abraham is not an excellent pattern, and not to be imitated, when he says he will pray that Allah forgive them.
“Praying for non-Muslims eternal forgiveness forbidden, Saudi cleric on Sridevi’s death,” Dunya News, March 3, 2018:
(Web Desk) – Saudi cleric Sheikh Dr Al-Ghamidi has asserted on Saturday in a talk concerning death of Sridevi, a Bollywood legend, that to pray for eternal forgiveness of a non-Muslim is not permitted in Islam, alarabia.net reported.
The cleric said that to seek forgiveness for a non-Muslim and pray for blessings upon her is forbidden in Islam.
Allah Almighty has forbidden even Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) from praying for a non-Muslim after the death, the cleric added. However, he said that there is a difference between praying for eternal heavens for a non-Muslim and praying to the Almighty to have mercy on him/her.
He said that Islam does not forbid praying for the latter….
Marina says
Muslims cannot move past the 7th century.
J D S says
You are so right Marina…The so called religion, islam, used FORCE and FEAR to establish itself in the 7th century, and Is still using the same tactic today…just in different way……..if the authorities of today had any sense at all they would have put a stop to Islam years ago. They do need to wake up NOW and pass corrective laws to address the absurdities in this barbaric sect. Surely they can see that Islam is not and never could be a God based religion…and surely they know who is driving Islam.
Guy Forester says
Who cares what this clown says?
CRUSADER says
EXACTLY.

Unfortunately, we have to care–because all too many of these Muslim clerics are also urging their congregations to slaughter Infidels, not just not pray for them.
J D S says
Right you are Graven……Too many of these so called clerics, worldwide are fanning the flames of Islamic terrorism…..and the world stands still…..
mortimer says
GI, has the correct point of view. However much you DISLIKE what Sheikh Al-Ghamidi says, he is speaking for roughly ONE BILLION SUNNITE MUSLIMS. His fatwa is a DECREE that has the force of CIVIL LAW upon Muslims and upon dirty KAFIRS.
Sheikh Dr Al-Ghamidi can order your death sentence. YOU MAY NOT LIKE HIS LAW, BUT HE IS NO CLOWN.

Thank you for your excellent “Introduction to Islam”, Although I’m no leftist, as you say you are, I agree almost completely with it. It is time for us, of all political opinions, to agree in some basic actions, in order to survive!
As for this clown”s opinion, I think it is ridiculous, but, unhappily it must be taken seriously as a signal of the deranged state of mind of those people, who have much influence on their fellows! So our reactions should not be only to laugh at his stupidity.
I think we should pray for the salvation of everybody, as is written in other comments.
Thank you and please forgive any grammar/spelling mistakes (I’m not a native speaker/writer of English).

Here we learn anew that Islam is not a religion. It is a sophisticated international extortion racket, masquerading as a devout death cult.
Truth is the measure of man, man is not the measure of truth. That is the essence of religious thought. And the interesting thing is that when we pursue values, as all true religions encourage, we incorporate those values into our selves – as we pursue goodness, we become good; as we pursue truth we reflect truth in ourselves and we appreciate the beauty of God’s creation more and more – this is commonly called spiritual growth. All religion as we have known it facilitates this process – its goal is to lead men to God and lead them to experience God’s love.
Islam on the other hand, subordinates everything to itself. There is no higher truth in this cult than Islam, no higher good than Islam and nothing more beautiful than Islam. Islam has replaced God, you see, and its ultimate goal is not to lead men to seek those higher values. Islam exists simply to perpetuate itself through extortion and genocide. It is a death cult.
“The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. “

Jack Diamond says
This enmity is…forever. Allah hates the disbelievers and even makes his slaves believe the only assured path to paradise is upon the blood and skulls of the cursed infidels. Praying for forgiveness and blessings toward a disbeliever shows forbidden friendship and love not obligatory hate and enmity.
Even though Allah himself is squarely to blame, not the disbeliever, for this fate! “Whomsoever Allah guides, he is the guided one, and whomsoever He sends astray, those! they are the losers. And surely, We have created many of the jinns and mankind for Hell.” (s.7:178-179). “If We had willed, We could have given every soul its guidance, but now my Word is realized–‘Assuredly I shall fill Gehanna with jinn and men all together.'” (s.32:13-14)
“Allah misleads whom He wills and guides whom He wills” (s. 14:4)
“Do you want to guide him whom Allah has MADE go astray?” (s. 4:88)
“and my advice will not profit you, even if I wish to give you good counsel, if it is Allah’s will to keep you astray.” (s. 11:34)
Allah, the best of deceivers, wills the disbelievers to disbelieve. He even creates the deception that Jesus (Isa) was crucified when it was all a trick, in effect, he creates the Christianity he then so despises.
But the believers themselves have no easy time of it when it comes to eternal forgiveness from their liar-in-chief, the capricious Allah. Muhammad was lied to by Allah, deceived into thinking the men fighting him at Badr were far fewer than they really were. Muhammad, while promised protection from demons, was bewitched, put under a magic spell to believe he was having sexual relations with his wives when he was not (a spell that lasted one whole year). {Bukhari v.7 b.71 n.660} Muhammad uttered the Satanic Verses, was possessed. Muhammad was allowed to be poisoned.
No wonder Muhammad felt no assurance of his own eternal forgiveness. “I do not know what shall be done with me or with you (after death).” {s. 48:8-9} “By Allah I am the Apostle of Allah, yet I do not know what Allah will do to me (after death).” {Bukhari v5b58n266}
His devout best friend Abu Bakr was also fearful of the hereafter. “Although he had such a faith, which was too great to suffice all the inhabitants of the earth…he would say ‘By Allah! I would not rest assured and feel safe from the deception of Allah, even if I had one foot in Paradise.” (Khalid M. Khalid “Successors of the Messenger” b1p99}
Because Allah cannot be trusted, anyone can be one of the “losers” in the hereafter. No follower is safe, including this Saudi sheikh. Yet another reason why Islam is the “Empire of Fear”.

Yes–“Allah” is a sadistic motherf*cker.
Richard says
The Catholic Church holds that because God lives outside of time, you can pray for someone who has died perhaps centuries earlier and God, knowing at the time of his death that you would make such a prayer, could grant that person – in a advance of your prayer, but because of it – perfect contrition for his sins and conversion. God died for the salvation of all souls. If we do not take advantage of what He offers, it is our fault, but most certainly not His will. EVERYTHING is for the salvation of souls. I cannot comprehend refusing to pray for the salvation of anyone, no matter how evil. They are of inestimable worth because God died for them.
R Russell says
Don’t see a problem with his decision. Unlike Muslims Christians pray to the eternal YHWH who, based on the sacrifice of his Son the Bible Jesus, forgiveness is given to those who ask.
I hope the cleric finds this forgiveness for himself.
Unlike the Muslim Allah, who doesn’t love unbelievers, the Christian YHWH loves everyone. “God commended his love towards us in that when we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

“It is not for the Prophet and those who have believed to ask forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they were relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are companions of Hellfire.” (Qur’an 9:113)
the posture of supremacy espoused by the cleric is truly a pity. as a slave (Muslim) of the allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers) he will never know of GRACE, except he repent …
polytheists (believers in Father, Son, Holy Spirit/Three Persons in One Being) are lowest of low to this man. yet these will be truly blessed with righteousness for the sake of Jesus – who is able to forgive and restore the human will, mind … heart, soul … and remove the polytheist far from hellfire. where those disgraced by their guilt for sin, having not sought His pleasure to forgive, will languish everlastingly.
so, please don’t waste the effort to pray to the allah god for the polytheists; they won’t need those prayers.
but it should be known that polytheists pray that the GRACE of FORGIVENESS – of the God of Abraham – be freely bestowed upon all the undeserving and otherwise disgraced positioned before the Holy One, as the Spirit moves them to seek Him.

Ibrahim,
You have chosen to believe false history. YHWH is eternal, with no consort. YHWH 3 persons of the same essence, like toothpaste being squeezed from the tube – what is in the tube is exactly the same as that proceeding from it – so no wife needed.
The Bible Jesus loves you. You can experience that love
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
R Russel, yahweh or Jéhovah is an attribute refering to ancient god like Baal worshiped by Israelites.

boakai ngombu says
itace, you’ve been misinformed. at His Ascension, Jesus didn’t leave; He just past out of mans’ vision. … i think that’s part of the reason the allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers) protests so much and so often – from microaggressions of its slaves to outright destructions and ruinations which it is famous for.
mortimer says
BOTTOM LINE: There is no good for the KAFIR in Islam. Even Islamic prayers are motivated by SUPREMACISM.
ALL Islamic prayer is predicated on WHAT GIVES MUSLIMS MORE POWER and DOMINANCE over the DIRTY KUFAAR.

Nothing good comes out of this cult except hatred for Khafirs.. What a shameful cult.. We Hindus believe in rebirth and Ur next life depends on the good or bad karma U do in this life. So if U do good, U get a better next life and if U do bad.. U do get a bad life filled with misfortunes, lack of honor, diseases etc.
Now I have reasons to strongly believe as a Hindu it is bad Karma that makes one to be reborn as a Muslim…. It is as simple as that and very logical too..

To be honest I don’t wish to be prayed for by Muslims, seeking for forgiveness, on my part. I consider that a compliment.

besides, the prayer would be unanswered. the allah god of islam (unknowalbe; the best of all deceivers) is impotent and can neither forgive nor curse nor condemn.
