Abstract
One of the biggest contemporary Sunni scholars is Dr. Muhammad Saeed Ramadan al-Buti. He maintains that our Holy prophet Muhammad is superior from all of other creatures and people can supplicate toward him.  On the other hand, Albani, as one of the Salafi great scholars believes that there are two kinds of supplication: legal and illegal. He has a book named " the Supplication, its kinds and its rules". Albani tries to reject the supplication to saints and Imams, maintaining that Buti's claims on the absolute supremacy of our Holy Prophet Muhammad on other creatures is not true. But if we have a closer look, we will know that there are so many Quranic verses and narrations that indicate on the supremacy of the Holy Prophet (PBH) on other creatures. Since Albani claims that he follows the Holy Quran, tradition of the Holy Prophet and great Sunni scholars, in this essay, the supremacy of our Holy prophet will be proved according to the above-mentioned sources.
