Tawheed and Shirk(Monotheism or Polytheism)19

WASILA

if one uses the Prophets and pious as intermediaries during supplication then he is not committing polytheism, it is permissible to make supplication to Allah using good deeds as intermediaries.

using the Prophets and pious as intermediaries in reality we are making supplication using their good deeds as intermediaries. It was precisely because of the persons good deeds that made them pious.

If one commits a good deed you cannot separate it from the person: the good deed will remain with that person, it is a part of that person.

Whosoever uses the Prophets and pious as intermediaries is sure that Allah Azawajal loves them and is pleased with them. Allah is pleased with the good deeds of the pious, which we use as intermediaries.

(5/54, 98/8) He loves His pious servants and is also pleased with them. Allah Most High always showers His Mercy on His beloved servants and it is for this reason that their bodies become blessed and if someone’s clothes were just to touch the blessed body, they to would become blessed

(2/248) the chest which contained the blessed possessions of the pious. These blessed possessions granted the believers peace of mind.

the chest contained the clothes of Sayyidina Musa (as), Sayyidina Haroon (as) and their families. In the chest there was also Sayyidina Musa’s staff, pieces of the Old Testament, and some belongings of previous Prophets, which had touched their bodies.

When the believers went to war they took this chest with them and used to supplicate to Allah Azawajal by using the chest as a wasila.

(12/93-96) Sayyidina Yusuf (as) sent his blessed shirt to his father and ordered that his shirt be laid on his father’s face. Once it has been done, Sayyidina Yaqub’s (as) blindness was cured.

If the shirt of the Prophets are blessed to such an extent that it can restore the eyesight of the blind, then one can only imagine how blessed the bodies of the Prophets are. Moreover, when the man went to Sayyidina Yaqub (as) and gave him the shirt to lay upon his eyes, he did not recite any supplication to Allah to cure Sayyidina Yaqub (as). He merely placed the shirt upon Sayyidina Yaqub’s (as) eyes and he was cured.

whenever Allah approach’s us He does so through using intermediaries, how then, is it possible for us to approach Him without using any intermediaries?

(3/128) one can make supplication to Allah without Wasila. This is not a condition of supplication.

(2/186) when one makes a supplication to Allah, one can supplicate during a blessed time or at a blessed place or even make supplication by using ones good deeds as an intermediary or by using the Prophets and pious as intermediaries Because of this the supplication is believed to be accepted more rapidly.

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)
