OBJECTIONS & ANSWERS

“Besides Allah (swt), do no call out to anyone who can neither grant you benefit nor inflict harm.”. 12/106. The word “dua” in this ayats and others like it doesn’t mean to call, but to worship (ref. Tafseer Jalaalain and other Commentaries of the Holy Quran). Therefore, the meaning of these ayats is that no one except Allah (swt) should be worshipped. Other verses corroborate this meaning. Allah (swt) states, “And who calls another to be worshipped (ma’bood) with Allah (swt) (“calls” here meaning worship) “-23/117.

Shirk is termed as ascribing a partner to Allah (swt) in His being and qualities.

Remember Allah (swt) sitting, standing and while resting (quran)

The ayat merely states that when you are finished with namaaz, you may make Allah’s (swt). zikr in every condition and state. In other words, namaaz has restrictions (e.g. it cannot be done without wudhu, Quran must not be recited during sajda, ruku or while sitting and that it (Salaah) should not be made sitting or lying down without a valid excuse) but when it is completed, these limitations are lifted. Now, you may make the remembrance of Allah (swt) standing, sitting. Lying down or in any other condition.

The zikr of Rasoolullah ﷺ is indirectly the remembrance of Allah (swt). “Whoever is obedient to the Rasoolallah ﷺ has shown obedience to Allah (swt).” 4/ 80.

When the Holy Prophet’s ﷺ remembrance is included in the Kalima, Namaaz, Hajj, Durood, Khutba, Azaan – in short, all forms of worship and is necessary in them. how can this remembrance become Haraam if made out of Salaah, whether whilst standing or sitting?

Is reciting ayats that specifically mention the Kuffaar or idols, e.g. Surah Lahab, Surah Munafiqoon, etc. the remembrance (zikr) of Allah (swt) or not? Surely it is because these are Quranic verses. There is reward for every word. Even though the subject of these verses is the Kuffaar or idols, the speeeh (kalaam) is definitely Allah’s (swt). The remembrance of Allah’s (swt) speech is His remembrance.However, according to you, the remembrance of the Mercy. Noor and Prophet of Allah –Muhammadur Rasoolullah ﷺ, cannot be the remembrance of Allah (swt) How is this fair?

The Holy Quran states, “Qaala Firaun.” The reciter of “Qaala” attains 30 thawaab for this’ and 50 for “Firaun”, because the reward for every letter read is multiplied by 10. So 50 thawaab was attained from reading the name of Firaun in the Quran, but taking the name of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah, Muhammad ﷺ, is equal to polytheism? What kind of intelligence is this?

Due to being separated from Hadrat Yusuf (as), Hadrat Yaqoob (as) used to repeat his name whether he was sitting or standing. He cried so much that his eyes became white(blind).

Likewise, when Hadrat Adam (as)was separated from Sayyidah Hawa (as) and Imam zainul-Aabideen (ra) from Imam Husain (ra) they would both repeat the names of their loved ones sitting or standing. Tell us, will the ruling of polytheism (shirk) apply to them as well? If the answer is “No”, why then will the lover of Rasoolullah ﷺ who takes his Nabi’s ﷺ name at every turn become a mushrik today?

Day and night a businessman talks and thinks of his business, while a student repeats his lesson to memorize it. This is also the repetition of someone or something besides Allah (swt). Will they also be labeled as Mushriks?

Hadrat Abbas (ra) asked, “Ya Rasoclallah ﷺ ! What did the moon do when you were an infant of 40 days?” Sayyiduna Rasoolullah ﷺ replied. “My compassionate mother put my hands tightly together. When I began to cry due to some discomfort, the moon used to console me and stop me from crying.” Hadrat Ibn Abbas (ra) asked, “At that time you were a baby of 40 days’ old, so how do you know this? Rasoolullah ﷺ explained, “When the Pen (Qalam) used to write on the Protected Tablet (Lauhe-Mahfooz), I used to hear n even though I was in the womb of my mother. When the angels beneath the Arsh used to make tasbeeh, I used to hear it even though I was in the womb of my mother.” Fataawa Abdul-Hayy, Kitaabul-Aqaaid,Pg.43

The Ahadith state the whenever a woman fights with her husband. the Maidens (Hoors) of Jannat call out to her and curse her. We know from this that the Hoors see the fight within the confines of a home and hear it as well.

Distant sounds  heard by means of the radio or telephone. So, is the power of Sainthood (wilaayat) and Prophethood less than the power of wires?

In the Me’raj, the Holy Prophet ﷺ” heard the footstep of Hadrat Bilal (ra), whereas the Sahaabi did not go for Me’raj but was at home.

We too say that Allah (swt) makes the Prophets and Saints hear distant callings and it is through this that they hear.

This is Allah’s (swt) original (zaati) quality and this is their successive (ataa’i) quality.

It is qadeem for Him but haadith for them.

For Allah (swt), this quality is not controlled by anyone, but for the Prophets and Saints, it is controlled by Allah(swt).

His listening is without the means of an ear etc. and their listening is through the means of the ear.

With so many differences, how can there be polytheism (shirk) in this?

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)
