To Call the Auliyah ALLAH

Ibn Kathir writes: During the khilafah of ‘Umar, (ra), the governor of Egypt wrote to ‘Umar, (ra), asking for help as the river Nile had failed to flood. ‘Umar, (ra), wrote a letter in return and addressed the river itself. This was then placed in the Nile, and no sooner as this was done, the Nile’s water began to flood. [Tarikh Ibn Kathir, volumes 1 and 8, chapter on Rivers and chapter on Khilafah of ‘Umar, (ra).]

Muhammad bin ‘Abd al-Wahhab writes that the people who claim that it is permissible to seek help from the pious site the following evidence in support of their argument:
When Ibrahim, ﷺ, was thrown into the fire, Jibreel ﷺ, offered his help to free him. If seeking help from other than Allah is shirk, then why did Jibril offer his assistance to Ibrahim? The answer is that the help which was being offered, was within his capability given by Allah, most High, and therefore not shirk. [Kitab Kasfh al Shubhat, page 23]

The help that is sought from the anbiya or awliya is within their capability. For example, it is permissible for one to request a deceased person to make a du’a, as it has already been proved that the deceased can make du’a. This means that asking help from another which is out of their capacity is not shirk. Ibn al-Qayyim explained in his book Kitab al-Ruh.

The Pious can Help from Far Away Muhammad bin ‘Abd al-Wahhab writes:
“One night, the Prophet of Allah, (ﷺ), was in his house and was heard to proclaim ‘I am here!’ three times and ‘You have been granted help’ also three times. Umm al-Mu’minin, Maymunah, may Allah be well pleased with her, asked the Beloved Prophet, (ﷺ), whom he had been talking to since there was no one present. He, (ﷺ), replied, ‘I was talking to a person called Rajiz from the tribe of Bani Ka’ab. He asked for help from me against the Quraysh.’ Umm al-Mu’minin, Maymunah, may Allah be well pleased with her, said that when she finished reading the fajr prayer the next morning, she heard Rajiz calling out the following in the streets of Madina: “Ya Rasul Allah! Help us and call the servants of Allah to help us.”
[Mukhtasar Sirat ar- Rasul, chapter on the Conquest of Makka]

Ibn Kathir writes: ‘Umar (ra), whilst delivering a Friday sermon in Madinah called out and said, ‘Ya Sariah! The mountain.’ That very moment, Sariah (ra), was in a place in Persia called Nahawand, engaged in a battle with the enemy. What ‘Umar, (ra), meant by his call was: O Sariah! Seek protection behind the mountain. Sariah, (ra), heard this and was subsequently saved. When the people heard these words during the Friday they were surprised. After winning the battle, Sariah came to Madinah. He told about how they had been under attack by the enemy. Suddenly they had heard ‘Umar’s voice and hid behind the mountain and were saved. [Tarikh Ibn Kathir, chapter on the Khilafah of ‘Umar]

Bilal bin Harith asked the Prophet, (ﷺ), for help during the famine in Madina during the khilafah of ‘Umar (ra). The Messenger of Allah, (ﷺ), gave water to ‘Uthman (ra), from a window when he was being surrounded by his enemies and, furthermore, even comforted him by giving the news that he would be martyred and would be breaking his fast with him in paradise the next day. The Prophet, (ﷺ), gave advice to Imam Hussayn, (ra), regarding the battle of Karbala -when he was departing for Kufa and then later, on the night before his death. The Messenger of Allah, (ﷺ), gave news that they would meet the next day in Paradise. [Tarikh Ibn Kathir, chapter on Khilafa of ‘Umar; chapter on Death of ‘Uthman, and the chapter on Karbala]

As Ibn al Qayyim states: Many people saw Ibn Taymiyyah after his death in their dreams and asked him many difficult questions on issues of Fiqh Masaa’il and he replied to all their questions. Only those people can reject this who are ignorant of the status of the spirits (Arwah) [Kitab-ar-Ruh, end of chapter 3., Ibn al-Qayyim]

If Ibn Taymiyya can answer questions after passing away, and solve complex fiqh issues, then why is it not possible for our Beloved Prophet Muhammad , (ﷺ), to assist his Ummah ?

The Most Beloved Prophet of Allah, (ﷺ), has said: ‘A Shaytan cannot form my image.’ So all the dreams are true about him, (ﷺ).

Also, Ibn al Qayyim mentions that:When numerous people have the same type of dream and what they have seen in their dreams actually happens – to call these kinds of dreams as only dreams, this is said by the people that have no sense [Kitab al Ruh, Chapter, 3., Ibn Qayyim]

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)
