To Call the Auliyah ALLAH
Imam Mullah Ali Qari (Rahimuhullah) also in Sharah of Hinsul Hasin writes that our
Prophet (ﷺ) said that: If the animal of someone runs loose in jungle, then he should say: O Allah’s servants stop it …
He writes under “Ibaad Allah” It means the angels, Muslims, jinn or men of unseen i.e. Abdaal . This hadith is Hassan and the travelers are in urgent need of it and this has been acted upon [Sharah Hisn ul Hasin, Al-Hirz al-Thamin, page 378]
Hadith -Maymuna bint Harith, the blessed wife of Prophet (ﷺ) narrates: The Prophet (ﷺ) was doing Wudhu for Tahajjud Salaah at the home of Hazrat Maimuna (radi Allahu anha).He suddenly called out three times, “Labbaik, Labbaik, Labbaik!” (Here I am) and “Nusirtu, Nusirtu, Nusirtu!” (I helped you). Hadhrat Maimuna (Radhi Allaho anha) further asked him why he had called out those words”. He replied: “Raajiz (a sahabi from far) was calling me because Quraish wanted to kill him”[Imam Tabarani in Mu’jam as-Sagheer, Volume No.2, Hadith # 968]
Sheikh Abdul Haqq Muhadith Dhelvi (Rahimuhullah), who came from Arabia to subcontinent in order to spread the knowledge of hadith, he is respected highly by all Muslims , he says: I wish my intellect was owned by people who reject beseeching for help from Awliya, so what do they understand from it? What we understand is that the one making dua is dependent upon Allah, and he makes dua to Allah, asks Him for his Hajah and presents the Wasila of Allah’s friend , he says: O Allah, the blessings which you have bestowed upon this friend of yours, please grant me something through his wasila, as you are the best of givers,
the second case is that one calls out (nida) the Wali and makes him Mukhatib and says: “O Slave of Allah, O Allah’s friend, do my Shaf’aat and make this dua to Allah that he grants me my need” Hence the one who grants and the one who fulfills the need (in both cases) is “ONLY ALLAH” , the man in-between is just an intercessor , whereas the Qadir, Fa’il, one who brings about change is only Allah [Sharah al Mishkaat, Ash’atul Lamaat, Volume No. 3, Page No. 401]
Imam Shams ud-din Al Ramli (Rahimuhullah) on Istighatha
That which occurs amongst the general
public who when in distress call out Ya Sheikh Fulan and Ya Rasul Ullah and
other such things in seeking help (Istighatha) from the Prophets, the saints,
Ulama and upright people. Is this allowed or not? Do the
Messengers/Prophets/Saints/righteous/Mashaikh have the capability to help
others…
Answer: Istighatha i.e. Seeking Help from the Prophets and Messengers, the
Saints, Ulama and upright people is“PERMITTED” after their passing away. The
messengers, prophets and saints have (power to) help after their passing away
because their miracles do not become abolished after their deaths. The Prophets
are alive in their graves, praying and also performing hajj as it has been
mentioned in many ahadith. Therefore the help from them shall be a miracle from
them, the martyrs are also alive which is proven that they have been seen
openly killing the disbelievers.
Now regarding Awliya then this is a Karamat from them, the people of
truth believe that this happens from (the hands) of awliya both with their
intention and without it. Having a change in outer aspects of things is
brought forward by Allah through them. The Dalil for this is that these things
are possible and their occurrence is not something impossible, for example the
story of Maryam (a.s) and how the provision came to her from Allah as is
stated in Quran and the incident of Abu Bakr (ra) with his guests as is
present in Sahih, the Nile flowing to its full due to letter of Umar (ra) plus
him also seeing right from his mimbar in madina, the army approaching (Sariya
ra) and he exclaiming to the leader: “Ya Sariyatul Jabal (i.e. O Sariya turn to
the mountain)” i.e. warning him about the enemy behind the mountain and
Sariya (ra) even heard him though he was so far that it would take 2 months of
travel. Also Khalid bin Walid (ra) drinking poison but it not harming him.
The matters which generally go against the norm have for sure occurred from the
hands of Sahaba, Tabiyeen, and those later to come. It cannot be possible to
deny this fact because when we take this as a whole then they reach the
level of Tawatur (i.e. definitely known reality).Hence what is possible as a
miracle from Prophet is also possible as Karamah from a Saint, there is no
difference between the two except for the fact that former is shown as a
challenge [Fatawa al Ramli 382/4]
Sheikh ul Islam Imam al- Subki said: It should be known that Tawassul,
“ASKING FOR HELP” and intercession through the Prophet (ﷺ) in the court of Allah is not only allowed but is
“RECOMMENDED” It being Legal and
recommended is a known fact for everyone who has understanding of deen, this
is a deed of Prophets/Messengers, the salaf-as-Saliheen, the Ulama and general
public of Muslims, none of them denied it nor in any time these deeds were
called as bad except for when Ibn Taymiyyah (came in picture) and he started to
reject them, his sayings made the weak get into confusion/dilemma, he did such
a Bidah which nobody before him had done… [Imam Taqi ud din as-Subki –
Rahimuhulllah in his magnificent work called Shifa us Siqaam fi Ziyaratal Khayr
al Anaam, Page No. 357]
When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
