To Call the Auliyah ALLAH

• Ibn Kathir writes that In the 18th year of the Hijra during the Khilafa of ‘Umar,(ra), there was a famine. ‘Umar and Bilal, May Allah be well pleased with them, went to the blessed grave of the Prophet (ﷺ), and said ‘Ya Rasul Allah! Your Umma is dying (from hunger), pray for us that Allah sends us rain’. Later, Bilal, (ra), had a dream in which the Prophet of Allah,  (ﷺ), told Bilal to go to ‘Umar, and convey his salaam, and to inform him that there will be rain and that he should perform Salaah Istisqa’. This is a very authentic narration.

[Tarikh Ibn Kathir, chapter Khilafa of ‘Umar, (ra)]  

” Ibn Taymiyya says that: In the time of a drought, a person came to our Prophet’s grave and complained about the drought. He then saw our Prophet,  (ﷺ), who said go to ‘Umar and tell him to perform the Salaah of Istisqah. There are numerous true narrations similar to this.

[Iqtisa Sirat al Mustaqim, page 373, Also Imam Bukhari has mentioned about this in his book, Tarikh al Kabir, biography of Malik al dar]

• Ibn Hajar al Asqalani writes: A person came to the grave said: ‘Your Umma is dying; supplicate to Allah to send rain. Sayf says: The person who made this supplication to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, his name was Bilal Ibn al- Harith, (ra). This narration is authentic. [Fath al Bari, Chapter on al Istisqa, Hafidhh Asqalani]

‘Allama Sa’eedi and ‘Allama ‘Abd al-Hakim Sharf Qadri write:“It is better that help is sought directly from Allah, most High, and through the waseela of the anbiya or awliya. If an individual seeks help from the anbiya or awliya by means of achieving help from Allah, most High, the person is not committing kufr.” [Sharh Muslim, ‘Allama Sa’idi, Nidaa-e-Ya Muhammad, page 30 by ‘Allama Sharf Qadri]

Shaykh al-‘Alawi al-Maliki, the Mufti of Makka writes: “When we ask help from the anbiya and awliya, as a means, it is through their supplication (du’a) that they help us. Take for example the Day of Judgment when the umma will benefit from our Beloved Prophet, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa (ﷺ).This is called asking for help through the anbiya and awliya and likewise to ask them to make du’a for us can be called help or istishfah or tawasul. [Ziyarat of the Grave, page 213, by the mufti of Makka, ‘Allama Shaykh Muhammad al-‘Alawi al-Maliki al-Makki]

“If you ever find yourselves stranded alone in a desolate place or jungle, then say, ‘O servants of Allah! Help me, Allah have mercy on you.'” [Al-Kalim al-Tayyib, page 69, by ibn Taymiyya, and Qadi Shawkani in Tufhat ad-Dhakireen, page 130]

Mullah ‘Ali Qari writes that our Beloved Prophet Muhammad, (ﷺ), said that: If you are in the jungle alone say, “O servants of Allah! Help me.” The servants of Allah are the angels, Muslims, jinn, or ‘abdal. This hadith is useful for travellers. [Al Hirzu al-ThAmin, page 378, by Mullah ‘Ali Qari]

The Prophet Sulaiman, ﷺ, asked his companions who could bring the throne of the Queen of Sheba to his court. Allah says, describing this in the Qur’an al-Kareem:An ifreet of the jinn said, ‘I will bring it to you before you get up from your seat. I am strong and trustworthy enough to do it.’ He who had knowledge of the Book said,’I will bring it to you  before your glance returns to you.’ And when he saw it standing firmly in his presence,he said, ‘This is part of my Lord’s favour to me to test me to see if I will give thanks or show ingratitude’. [27/39-40]

Hafidh Ibn Kathir writes concerning this verse that the man who brought the throne was called Asif bin Barkhiyah. [Tafsir Ibn Kathir]

There was a companion named Salamah bin Akwa, (ra), who was injured so severely on his shin that people began to fear that he would die a matyr. Salamah, (ra), states: “I went to the Messenger of Allah, (ﷺ), and told him about my wound, whereupon he proceeded to blow on it three times and I was cured instantly.” [Mishkat, chapter on Virtues of Sayyid al-Mursalin]

Ibn Kathir writes:”During the khilafah of ‘Umar, (ra), there appeared a fire in the desert. ‘Umar, (ra), asked Tamim al-Dari, (ra), to assist him. They approached the area of the fire and Tamim al-Dari, (ra), began to gather the fire with his hands and started shoving the fire into a hole in the ground. This was a karamah of Tamim al-Dari, (ra).” [Tarikh Ibn Kathir, Vol. 6, chapter on Miracles, and Sirat un-Nabi, Ibn Kathir, chapter on Mu’jizat]

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)
