مسلم امّت میں شیطان نے غلط فہمی پیدا کر دی ہے کہ وہ شرک سے پاک ہے یعنی وہ شرک نہیں کر سکتی - اس غلط فہمی کی بنا پر یہ امّت شرک کے نت نئے طریقوں کو رائج کرنے میں مصروف ہے جبکہ شرک اس قدر عظیم گناہ ہے کہ الله تعالیٰ قرآن میں فرماتا ہے

(Qur'an 6:82) الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوا إِيمَانَهُم بِظُلْمٍ أُولَـٰئِكَ لَهُمُ الْأَمْنُ وَهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ
جو لوگ ایمان لائے اور انہوں نے اپنے ایمان میں شرک نہیں ملایا امن انہیں کے لیے ہے اور وہی راہ راست پر ہیں

اس کا شان نزول صحیح مسلم اور صحیح بخاری کی حدیث میں بیان کیا گیا ہے


عبد اللہ بن ادریس ، ابو معاویہ اور وکیع نے اعمش سے حدیث سنائی ، انہوں نے ابراہیم سے ، انہوں نے علقمہ سے اورانہوں نے حضرت عبد اللہ ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ سے روایت کی کہ جب یہ آیت اتری : ’’ جولوگ ایمان لائے اور انہوں نے اپنے ایمان کے ساتھ ظلم کی آمیزش نہیں کی ۔ ‘ ‘ تو رسول اللہ ﷺ کے صحابہ پر یہ آیت گراں گزری اور انہوں نے گزارش کی : ہم میں سے کون ہے جو اپنے نفس پر ظلم نہ کرتا ہو ؟ تو رسول اللہ ﷺ نے فرمایا : ’’اس آیت کا مطلب وہ نہیں جو تم سمجھتے ہو ۔ ظلم وہ ہے جس طرح لقمان نے اپنے بیٹے سے کہا تھا : ’’ اے بیٹے! اللہ کےساتھ شرک نہ کرنا ، شرک یقیناً بہت بڑا ظلم ہے ۔ ‘ ‘

Sahih Muslim - 327 - islam360

(Qur'an 31:13)
وَإِذْ قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لِابْنِهِ وَهُوَ يَعِظُهُ يَا بُنَيَّ لَا تُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌ

اور جب لقمان نے اپنے بیٹے کو نصیحت کرتے ہوئے کہا تھا کہ بیٹا الله کے ساتھ کسی کو شریک نہ ٹھہرانا بے شک شرک کرنا بڑا بھاری ظلم ہے

اگر یہ عقیدہ رکھا جائے کہ امّت شرک نہیں کر سکتی تو نیچے بیان کی گئی حدیث میں یہ کیوں کہا گیا کہ کسی مسلمان کے جنا زے پر چالیس آدمی شامل ہو جاتے ہیں کہ شرک نہیں کرتے تو اللہ تعا لیٰ ان کی سفارش کو قبول فر ما لیتا ہے- اس حدیث سے ثابت ہوتا ہے کہ امّت میں ایسے لوگ ہونگے جو کہ شرک کرینگے

ہارون بن معروف، ہارون بن سعید ایلی اور ولید بن شجاع میں سے ولید نے کہا : مجھے حدیث سنا ئی اور دوسرے دو نوں نے کہا : ہمیں حدیث سنا ئی ابن وہب نے انھوں نے کہا : مجھے ابو صخر نے شر یک بن عبد اللہ بن ابی نمر سے خبر دی انھوں نے حضرت ابن عباس رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہما کے آزاد کردہ غلا م کریب سے اور انھوں نے حضرت عبد اللہ بن عبا س رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہما سے روا یت کی کہ قدید یا عسفان میں ان کے ایک بیٹے کا انتقال ہو گیا تو انھوں نے کہا : کریب !دیکھو اس کے ( جنازے کے ) لیے کتنے لو گ جمع ہو چکے ہیں ۔ میں با ہر نکلا تو دیکھا کہ اس کی خا طر ( خاصے ) لو گ جمع ہو چکے ہیں تو میں نے ان کو اطلا ع دی ۔ انھوں نے پو چھا تو کہتے ہو کہ وہ چا لیس ہوں گے ؟ انھوں نے جواب دیا : ہاں ۔ تو انھوں نے فر ما یا : اس ( میت ) کو ( گھر سے ) باہر نکالو کیونکہ میں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو یہ فر ما تے ہو ئے سنا ہے : جو بھی مسلمان فوت ہو جا تا ہے اور اس کے جنا زے پر ( ایسے ) چالیس آدمی ( نماز ادا کرنے کے لیے ) کھڑے ہو جا تے ہیں جو اللہ کے ساتھ کسی چیز کو شریک نہیں ٹھہر اتے تو اللہ تعا لیٰ اس کے بارے میں ان کی سفارش کو قبول فر ما لیتا ہے ۔

Sahih Muslim – 2199 - Islam360

نیچے بخاری اور مسلم کی متفقہ حدیث بیان کی جا رہی ہے
نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ”تم اپنے سے پہلی امتوں کی ایک ایک بالشت اور ایک ایک گز میں اتباع کرو گے، یہاں تک کہ اگر وہ کسی گوہ کے سوراخ میں داخل ہوئے ہوں گے تو تم اس میں بھی ان کی اتباع کرو گے۔“ ہم نے پوچھا: یا رسول اللہ! کیا یہود و نصاریٰ مراد ہیں؟ فرمایا پھر اور کون۔

Sahih Bukhari - 7320 - Islam360

اوپر بیان کی گئی حدیث کے الفاظ کس موقع پر رسول اللہ نے کہے تھے وہ نیچے بیان کی گئی حدیث سے واضح ہو جاۓ گا کہ پچھلی حدیث عیسائ اور یہود کی پیروی دنیاوی معملات میں نہیں بلکہ دینوی معملات میں کرنے کی پیش گوئی کی گئی ہے

جب رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم حنین کے لیے نکلے تو آپ کا گزر مشرکین کے ایک درخت کے پاس سے ہوا جسے ذات انواط کہا جاتا تھا، اس درخت پر مشرکین اپنے ہتھیار لٹکاتے تھے ۱؎، صحابہ نے عرض کیا: اللہ کے رسول! ہمارے لیے بھی ایک ذات انواط مقرر فرما دیجئیے جیسا کہ مشرکین کا ایک ذات انواط ہے، نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: ”سبحان اللہ! یہ تو وہی بات ہے جو موسیٰ علیہ السلام کی قوم نے کہی تھی کہ ہمارے لیے بھی معبود بنا دیجئیے جیسا ان مشرکوں کے لیے ہے، اس ذات کی قسم جس کے ہاتھ میں میری جان ہے! تم گزشتہ امتوں کی پوری پوری پیروی کرو گے“

Jam e Tirmazi – 2180- Islam360

نیچے بیان کی گئی حدیث جس میں جو بات حضور ﷺ نے وفات سے صرف پانچ دن پہلے ارشاد فرمائی تھی اس سے ثابت ہوتا ہے کہ حضور ﷺ فکر تھی کہ ان کی امّت عیسائ اور یہود کی پیروی میں شرک کرے گی

۔ حضرت جندب ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ نے کہا : میں نے نبیﷺ کو آپ کی وفات سے پانچ دن پہلے یہ کہتے ہوئے سنا : میں اللہ تعالیٰ کے حضور اس چیز سے براءت کا اظہار کرتا ہوں کہ تم میں سے کوئی میرا خلیل ہو کیونکہ اللہ تعالیٰ نے مجھے اپنا خلیل بنا لیا ہے ، جس طرح اس نے ابراہیم علیہ السلام ‌ ‌ کو اپنا خلیل بنایا تھا ، اگر میں اپنی امت میں سے کسی کو اپنا خلیل بناتا تو ابو بکر کو خلیل بناتا ، خبردار! تم سے پہلے لوگ اپنے انبیاء اور نیک لوگوں کی قبروں کو سجدہ گاہیں بنا لیا کرتے تھے ، خبردار! تم قبروں کو سجدہ گاہیں نہ بنانا ، میں تم کو اس سے روکتا ہوں ۔

Sahih Muslim - 1188 - Islam360

نیچے بیان کی گئی حدیث اس تمام معاملے کو بلکل واضح کر دے گی کہ حضرت عائشہ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا نے بھی رسول اللہ ﷺ کے فرمان کا یہی مطلب نکالا کہ رسول اللہ ﷺ کی قبر پر شرک ہو سکتا ہے

نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اپنے مرض الموت میں فرمایا کہ اللہ تعالیٰ نے یہودیوں کو اپنی رحمت سے دور کر دیا کہ انہوں نے اپنے انبیاء کی قبروں کو سجدہ گاہ بنا لیا تھا۔ عائشہ رضی اللہ عنہا نے کہا کہ اگر یہ بات نہ ہوتی تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی قبر بھی کھلی رکھی جاتی لیکن آپ کو یہ خطرہ تھا کہ کہیں آپ کی قبر کو بھی سجدہ نہ کیا جانے لگے۔

Sahih Bukhari – 4441 – islam360

حضرت عائشہ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا کو تو مسلمانوں سے شرک کا ارتکاب کا ڈر تھا - حضرت عائشہ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا یقینآ انڈیا اور پاکستان کے مولویوں سے زیادہ دین کا فہم رکھتی تھیں جو کہ سمجھتے ہیں کہ مسلمان شرک نہیں کر سکتا

رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: ”قیامت اس وقت تک قائم نہیں ہو گی یہاں تک کہ میری امت کے کچھ قبیلے مشرکین سے مل جائیں، اور بتوں کی پرستش کریں، اور میری امت میں عنقریب تیس جھوٹے ( دعویدار ) نکلیں گے، ان میں سے ہر ایک یہ دعویٰ کرے گا کہ وہ نبی ہے، حالانکہ میں خاتم النبین ہوں میرے بعد کوئی ( دوسرا ) نبی نہیں ہو گا“۔
امام ترمذی کہتے ہیں: یہ حدیث حسن صحیح ہے۔

Jam e Tirmazi – 2219 – Islam360

باقی رہا مسئلہ کہ جہالت یا نا سمجھی کی وجہ سے شرک کرنے والے کو رعایت مل سکتی ہے یا نہیں؟ اس کی بابت ہم کچھ نہیں کہہ سکتے،یہ اس کا معاملہ اللہ کے ساتھ ہے،جس کا فیصلہ وہ روز قیامت ہی فرمائے گا۔ مبلغ کی ذمہ داری بلاغ مبین (کھول کر بیان کر دینا) ہے اور اس بلاغ مبین میں یہ بات بھی شامل ہے کہ جو عقیدہ یا عمل جیسا ہے،قرآن و حدیث کی روشنی میں اس کی وضاحت کریں ،اس پر تاویلات کا پردہ نہ ڈالیں اور نہ مصلحت کا نقاب۔وہ حلال ہے یا حرام،سنت ہے یا بدعت،شرک ہے یا توحید؟ہر عمل کی وضاحت مبلغ کا منصبی فریضہ ہے ،تاکہ لوگ حلال کو اختیار کریں ،حرام سے بچیں،سنت پر عمل کریں۔بدعت سے گریز کریں اور شرک سے بچیں اور توحید کا راستہ اپنائیں۔

اگر آپ کو معلوم نہیں کہ سرخ بتی پر روکنا ہے اور آپ کا چالان ہو جاتا ہے تو شکایت نہ کریں کیونکہ یہ جاننا آپ کے ذمہ تھا کہ یہ معلوم کریں کہ سرخ بتی پر رکنا ہے - اللہ تعالیٰ ہم سب کو شرک کے ساۓ سے بھی دور رکھے - آمین


(Qur'an 7:172) وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِن بَنِي آدَمَ مِن ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ ۖ قَالُوا بَلَىٰ ۛ شَهِدْنَا ۛ أَن تَقُولُوا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّا كُنَّا عَنْ هَـٰذَا غَافِلِينَ
When thy Lord drew forth from the Children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants, and made them testify concerning themselves, (saying): "Am I not your Lord (who cherishes and sustains you)?"- They said: "Yea! We do testify!" (This), lest ye should say on the Day of Judgment: "Of this we were never mindful":
اور جب تیرے رب نے بنی آدم کی پیٹھوں سے ان کی اولاد کو نکالا اور ان سے ان کی جانوں پر اقرار کرایا کہ میں تمہارا رب نہیں ہوں انہوں نے کہا ہاں ہے ہم اقرار کرتے ہیں کبھی قیامت کے دن کہنے لگو کہ ہمیں تو اس کی خبر نہیں تھی

(Qur'an 7:173) أَوْ تَقُولُوا إِنَّمَا أَشْرَكَ آبَاؤُنَا مِن قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا ذُرِّيَّةً مِّن بَعْدِهِمْ ۖ أَفَتُهْلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ الْمُبْطِلُونَ
Or lest ye should say: "Our fathers before us may have taken false gods, but we are (their) descendants after them: wilt Thou then destroy us because of the deeds of men who were futile?"
یا کہنے لگو ہمارے باپ دادا نے ہم سے پہلے شرک کیاتھا اور ہم ان کے بعد ان کی اولاد تھے کیاتو ہمیں اس کام پر ہلاک کرتا ہے جو گمراہوں نے کیا

اب آ جا تے ہیں اس حدیث پر جس کو بیان کر کے اہل بدعت مسلمانوں کو شرک سے عاری سمجھتے ہیں


حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ يَوْمًا فَصَلَّى عَلَى أَهْلِ أُحُدٍ صَلَاتَهُ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ إِلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي فَرَطٌ لَكُمْ، وَأَنَا شَهِيدٌ عَلَيْكُمْ، وَإِنِّي وَاللهِ لَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى حَوْضِي الْآنَ، وَإِنِّي قَدْ أُعْطِيتُ مَفَاتِيحَ خَزَائِنِ الْأَرْضِ، أَوْ مَفَاتِيحَ الْأَرْضِ، وَإِنِّي، وَاللهِ مَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تُشْرِكُوا بَعْدِي، وَلَكِنْ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تَتَنَافَسُوا فِيهَا»
لیث نے یزید بن ابی حبیب سے ، انھوں نے ابو الخیر سے ، انھوں نے حضرت عقبہ بن عامر رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے روایت کی کہ ایک دن رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم باہر تشریف لے گئے اور اہل احد پر اسی طرح نماز جنازہ پڑھی جس طرح میت پر پڑھی جاتی ہے ، پھر آپ پلٹ کر منبر پر تشریف فرما ہو ئے اور فرما یا : میں حوض پر تمھا را پیش رو ہو ں گا اور میں تم پر گواہی دینے والا ہوں گا اور میں ، اللہ کی قسم !جیسے اب بھی اپنے حوض کو دیکھ رہا ہو ں ۔ مجھے زمین کے خزانوں کی چابیاں یا ( فرمایا : ) زمین کی چابیاں عطا کی گئیں اور اللہ کی قسم!میں تمھا رے بارے میں اس بات سے نہیں ڈرتا کہ میرے بعد تم شرک کرو گے ۔ لیکن میں اس بات سے ڈرتا ہوں کہ تم ان ( خزانوں کے معاملے ) میں ایک دوسرے کے ساتھ مقابلہ کرو گے ( کہ ان میں سے کو ن زیادہ فائدہ اٹھا تا اور زیادہ دولت مندی کا مظاہرہ کرتا ہے ۔ )
Sahih Muslim - 5976 - Islam360

یہاں اس حدیث کے لفظ "عَلَيْكُمْ" پر غور کریں جس کے معنی ہیں "تم پر " نہ کہ "میری امّت " - رسول اللہ نے "عَلَيْكُمْ" کہہ کر یہ واضح کردیا کہ وہ اس موقع پر صرف صحابہ کی اس جماعت کو جو اس وقت رسول اللہ کے سامنے موجود تھی، ان کے بارے میں بشارت دی کہ وہ کبھی شرک کا ارتکاب نہیں کرینگے -یہی بات اوپر تمام احادیث سے ثابت ہوتی ہے - نیچے بیان کی گئی حدیث کے مطابق ایسا جماعت قیامت تک امّت میں موجود رہے گی کہ جو ہمیشہ حق پر غالب رہے گی-

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي أَسْمَاءَ الرَّحَبِيِّ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ، قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّمَا أَخَافُ عَلَى أُمَّتِي الْأَئِمَّةَ الْمُضِلِّينَ . (حديث مرفوع) (حديث موقوف) قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي عَلَى الْحَقِّ ظَاهِرِينَ لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ يَخْذُلُهُمْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْمَاعِيل، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْمَدِينِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ وَذَكَرَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي ظَاهِرِينَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ:‏‏‏‏ هُمْ أَهْلُ الْحَدِيثِ.
رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: ”میں اپنی امت پر گمراہ کن اماموں ( حاکموں ) سے ڈرتا ہوں“ ۱؎، نیز فرمایا: ”میری امت کی ایک جماعت ہمیشہ حق پر غالب رہے گی، ان کی مدد نہ کرنے والے انہیں کوئی نقصان نہیں پہنچا سکیں گے یہاں تک کہ اللہ کا حکم ( قیامت ) آ جائے“۔
امام ترمذی کہتے ہیں: ۱- یہ حدیث حسن صحیح ہے، ۲- میں نے محمد بن اسماعیل بخاری کو کہتے سنا کہ میں نے علی بن مدینی کو کہتے سنا کہ انہوں نے نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی یہ حدیث ”میری امت کی ایک جماعت ہمیشہ حق پر غالب رہے گی“ ذکر کی اور کہا: وہ اہل حدیث ہیں۔
Jam e Tirmazi - 2229 - Islam360

اوپر بیان کی گئی ترمذی کی حدیث میں لفظ "مِنْ أُمَّتِي " یعنی "میری امّت" استعمال کیا گیا ہے جبکہ اس سے اوپر والی صحیح مسلم کی حدیث میں لفظ "عَلَيْكُمْ" استعمال کیا گیا جس کے معنی "تم پر" ہیں

شبہات کا ازالہ

وہ حضرات جو جہالت یا ہواپرستی یا تقلید وغیرہ کے طور پر قبر پرستی اور قبروں پر مساجد و مزارات بنانے کے مرض میں مبتلا ہیں وہ قرآن و حدیث کی ان واضح تعلیمات اور علماء کی تصریحات کے مقابلے میں کچھ شبہات پیش کرتے ہیں اور انہیں دلیل بنا کر پر اپنی قبر پرستی کے لئے جواز پیدا کر رکھا ہے، ان واضح دلائل کے بعد ایک مومن کے لئے کسی شبہے کی گنجائش تو باقی نہیں رہنی چاہئے اور نہ ہی اللہ ورسول پر ایمان لانے والے کے سامنے کسی اور شبہے کی گنجائش رہ جاتی ہے، لیکن چونکہ بعض لوگ ان شبہات کے ذریعہ اہل توحید سے بحث و مباحثہ کرتے اور اپنی بدعت پر ڈٹے رہنے پر دلیل پکڑتے ہیں لہذا ضروری ہے کہ ان کے پیش کردہ چند اہم شبہات پر ایک نظر ڈال لی جائے۔

پہلا شبہہ

اصحاب کہف کا واقعہ: ارشاد باری تعالی ہے : إِذْ یَتَنَازَعُونَ بَیْنَہُمْ أَمْرَہُمْ فَقَالُوا ابْنُوا عَلَیْہِم بُنْیَانًا رَّبُّہُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِہِمْ قَالَ الَّذِینَ غَلَبُوا عَلَی أَمْرِہِمْ لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَیْہِم مَّسْجِدًا (Qur'an 18:21)
اس وقت کو یاد کرو جبکہ وہ اپنے امر میں باہم اختلاف کر رہے تھے، کہنے لگے ان کی غار پر ایک عمارت تعمیر کر دو۔ ان کا رب ہی ان کے حال کو زیادہ جانتا ہے، جن لوگوں نے ان کے بارے میں غلبہ پایا وہ کہنے لگے کہ ہم تو ان کے آس پاس مسجد بنا لیں گے۔

کہا جاتا ہے کہ یہ لوگ نصاریٰ تھے ، ان کے انتقال کے بعد لوگوں کا باہمی اختلاف ہوا ، ان میں سے کچھ لوگوں نے یہ تجویز پیش کی کہ اس غار یا اس کے قریب کوئی عمارت تعمیر کر دی جائے جس سے ان کی یادگار باقی رہے اور نشان مٹنے نہ پائے، لیکن ان میں جو صاحب ثروت اور زبردست قسم کے لوگ تھے انہوں نے کہا کہ ہم ان کا مزار تو نہیں بناتے البتہ یہاں ایک مسجد تعمیر کر دیتے ہیں۔

بعض لوگوں کو یہاں یہ شبہہ ہوتا ہے کہ اس قصے سے یہ معلوم ہوتا ہے کہ ولیوں اور بزرگوں کی قبروں پر مسجد و عمارت تعمیر کی جا سکتی ہے،

لیکن متعدد وجوہ سے یہ قصہ دلیل نہیں بن سکتا، جس کی تفصیل درج ذیل ہے۔

اولاً- یہ عمل پہلی شریعت کا ہے اور پرانی شریعت ہمارے لئے حجت نہیں ہے، اور جو اہل علم پچھلی شریعت کو حجت تسلیم کرتے ہیں ان کے نزدیک شرط ہے کہ ہماری شریعت کے خلاف نہ ہو، اور جب ہماری شریعت میں واضح طور پر قبروں پر مسجد اور کسی قسم کی عمارت تعمیر کرنے سے روک دیا گیا حتی کہ قبروں کو قبلہ بنانے کو حرام ٹھہرایا گیا تو اہل کہف کا واقعہ ہمارے لئے کس طرح دلیل بن سکتا ہے؟ اللہ تعالی کا ارشاد ہے:


وَأَنْزَلْنَا إِلَیْكَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ مُصَدِّقاً لِمَا بَیْنَ یَدَیْہِ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَمُہَیْمِناً عَلَیْہِ، الآیۃ، المائدۃ: 5:48.
اور ہم نے آپ کی طرف حق کے ساتھ یہ کتاب نازل فرمائی ہے جو اپنے سے اگلی کتابوں کی تصدیق کر نے والی ہے اور ان کی محافظ ہے۔

اس آیت میں وارد لفظ ” مہیمن” کا معنی محافظ، امین، شاہد اور حاکم وغیرہ کیا جاتا ہے، جس کا مفہوم علماء یہ بیان کرتے ہیں کہ اگر اس کتاب میں کوئی حکم ایسا ہے جو پچھلی کتابوں کے خلاف ہے تو فیصلہ اس کتاب کا مانا جائے گا، کیونکہ پچھلی کتابوں میں چونکہ تحریف و تغییر بھی ہوئی ہے اس لئے قرآن کا فیصلہ ناطق ہوگا، جس کو یہ صحیح قرار دے وہی صحیح ہے باقی باطل ہے۔

ثانیاً – ان کا مزار بنانے والے لوگ صاحب علم و تقوی نہ تھے اور نہ ہی مسجد بنانے والے لوگ ہی متقی و پرہیزگار تھے کہ ان کا عمل ہمارے لئے حجت بنے

واللہ اعلم۔

[FONT=&quot]In 12:106, Allah says that majority of those who consider themselves believers are in fact, MUSHRIKEEN. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]012:106 And most of them believe not in Allah without doing SHIRK![/FONT]



[FONT=&quot]وَمَا يُؤْمِنُ أَكْثَرُهُم بِاللَّهِ إِلَّا وَهُم مُّشْرِكُونَ[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]And most of them believe not in Allah without associating (other as partners) with Him![/FONT][FONT=&quot](Quraan 12:106)[/FONT]


[FONT=&quot]اوران میں سے اکثر ایسے بھی ہیں جو الله کو مانتے بھی ہیں اور شرک بھی کرتے ہیں[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The following forms of Shirk have been given in the Quran[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]1. Taking human beings from among ourselves as Lords or Patrons besides Allah[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]3:64 Say, O People of the Book! Let us come to a mutual agreement, that we shall worship and obey none but God. That neither shall we ascribe divinity to anyone beside Him, nor shall we take human beings from among ourselves as our lords beside God. And if they turn away, then say, Bear witness that it is we who have surrendered ourselves unto Him. [/FONT]
کہہ اے اہلِ کتاب! ایک بات کی طرف آؤ جو ہمارے اور تمہارے درمیان برابر ہے کہ سوائے الله کے اور کسی کی بندگی نہ کریں اور اس کا کسی کو شریک نہ ٹھیرائیں اور سوائے الله کے کوئی کسی کو رب نہ بنائے پس اگر وہ پھر جائیں تو کہہ دو گواہ رہو کہ ہم تو فرمانبردار ہونے والے ہیں

[FONT=&quot]2. Taking angels or Prophets as Lords or Patrons besides Allah[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]3:80 Nor would he instruct you to take the angels and the Prophets for lords and patrons. Would he command you to disbelieve after you have surrendered to Allah? [/FONT]

اورنہ یہ جائز ہے کہ تمہیں حکم کرے کہ تم فرشتوں اور نبیوں کو رب بنا لو کیا وہ تمہیں کفر سکھائے گا بعد اس کے کہ تم مسلمان ہو چکے ہو
[FONT=&quot]
3. Taking Ahbaar and Rahbaan (religious authorities) as Lords and Patrons besides Allah[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]
9:31 They take their rabbis, priests and monks or ascetics to be their Lords* besides Allah. And they take as their Lord, the Messiah son of Mary. Yet they were commanded to worship but One God. There is no god but He. Praise and Glory to Him, He is far too Glorious for what they ascribe to Him. (*Talmud shows the Jewish superstition of ascribing divinity to Ezra, rabbis, saints, doctors of law and learned men. And the doctrine of Papal infallibility, divinity of saints and praying to them are common in the Roman Catholic Church). [/FONT]


انہوں نے اپنے عالموں اور درویشوں کو الله کے سوا خدا بنا لیا ہے اور مسیح مریم کے بیٹےکو بھی حالانکہ انہیں حکم یہی ہوا تھا کہ ایک الله کے سوا کسی کی عبادت نہ کریں اس کے سوا کوئی معبود نہیں وہ ان لوگوں کے شریک مقرر کرنے سے پاک ہے
[FONT=&quot]
9:34 O You who have chosen to be graced with belief! A great many religious leaders, rabbis, priests, monks, mullahs, yogis, and mystics devour the wealth of mankind in falsehood, and debar them from the Path of Allah. All those who hoard up gold and silver and spend it not in the Cause of Allah, to them give tidings (O Prophet) of a painful doom. [/FONT]


اے ایمان والو! بہت سے عالم اور فقیر لوگوں کا مال ناحق کھاتے ہیں اور الله کی راہ سے روکتے ہیں اور جو لوگ سونا اورچاندی جمع کرتے ہیں اور اسے الله کی راہ میں خرچ نہیں کرتے انہیں دردناک عذاب کی خوشخبری سنا دیجیئے
[FONT=&quot]12:39 O My prison mates! Are several Lords differing among themselves better, or Allah, the One, the Insuperable? [/FONT]

اے قید خانہ کے رفیقو کیا کئی جدا جدا معبود بہتر ہیں یا اکیلا الله جو زبردست ہے
[FONT=&quot]
4. Worshipping, obeying and adoring [IBADAT of] anything besides Allah[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]4:36 Obey, adore and worship Allah and associate no partner with Him[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]اور[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]الله[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]کی[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]بندگی[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]کرو[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]اورکسی[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]کو[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]اس[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]کا[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]شریک[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]نہ[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]کرو[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]18:110 Say (O Prophet), "I am but a mortal man like all of you. It is revealed to me that your God is the One and Only God. Hence, whoever looks forward to meeting His Sustainer, let him do works that help others, and let him admit no one as partner in the service [Ibadat] of his Sustainer. [/FONT]

کہہ دو کہ میں بھی تمہارے جیسا آدمی ہی ہوں میری طرف وحی کی جاتی ہے کہ تمہارا معبود ایک ہی معبود ہے پھر جو کوئی اپنے رب سے ملنے کی امید رکھے تو اسے چاہیئے کہ اچھے کام کرے اور اپنے رب کی عبادت میں کسی کو شریک نہ بنائے

[FONT=&quot]24:55 Allah has promised that those of you peoples who will believe in the Divine Laws and strengthen human resources, He will surely make them rulers in the earth - Just as He granted rule to the previous nations (28:6), (33:27). He will surely establish for them the System of life that He has approved for them, and will replace their fear with peace and security. All this because they serve Me alone. They ascribe no partner to Me. But all who, after this, deny these Laws will drift out (of the community of living nations. The belief in this verse does not pertain to any dogmas and tenets, but to the realization that the entire Universe is operating under the unchangeable Physical Laws of One Supreme Authority, thus providing the basis for all Science and Technology). [/FONT]

الله نے ان لوگوں سے وعدہ کیا ہے جو تم میں سے ایمان لائے اور نیک عمل کیے کہ انہیں ضرور ملک کی حکومت عطا کرے گا جیسا کہ ان سے پہلوں کو عطا کی تھی اور ان کے لیے جس دین کو پسند کیا ہے اسے ضرور مستحکم کر دے گا اور البتہ ان کے خوف کو امن سے بدل دے گا بشرطیکہ میری عبادت کرتے رہیں اور میرے ساتھ کسی کو شریک نہ کریں اور جواس کے بعد ناشکری کرے وہی فاسق ہوں گے
[FONT=&quot]
5. Taking Masters [Wali] other than Allah[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]6:14 Say, Shall I take for my master [Wali] other than Allah Who is the Initiator of the heavens and the earth? And He provides all without return. Feeds but is not fed. Say, I have been commanded to be the foremost among those who surrender to Him and ascribe not divinity besides Him. [/FONT]

کہہ دو جو الله آُسمانوں اور زمین کا بنانے والا ہے کیا اس کے سوا کسی اور کو اپنا مددگار بناؤں اور وہ سب کو کھلاتا ہے اور اسے کوئی نہیں کھلاتا کہہ دو مجھے تو حکم دیا گیا ہے کہ سب سے پہلے اس کا فرمانبردار ہو جاؤں اور تو ہرگز مشرکوں میں شامل نہ ہو
[FONT=&quot]
6. Taking ILAH other than Allah[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]6:19 Say (O Messenger), "What could be the greatest witness? Say, Allah is Witness between me and you. This Quran has been revealed to me so that I may warn you as well as whomever it reaches. Do you bear witness that there are other deities besides Allah? Say, I bear no such witness. Say, He is the One God [ILAH]. I disown what you associate with Him. [/FONT]

تو پوچھ سب سے بڑا گواہ کون ہے کہہ دو الله میرے اور تمہارے درمیان گواہ ہے اور مجھ پر یہ قرآن اتارا گیا ہے تاکہ تمہیں اس کے ذریعہ سے ڈراؤں اور جس جس کو یہ قرآن پہنچے کیا تم گواہی دیتے ہو کہ الله کے ساتھ اور بھی کوئی معبود ہیں کہہ دو میں تو گواہی نہیں دیتا کہہ دو وہی ایک معبود ہے اور میں تمہارے شرک سے بیزار ہوں

[FONT=&quot]7. Taking Jinns as partners of Allah[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]6:100 Yet, there are people who think falsely that there are invisible creatures, Jinns, with occult powers that share the Divine Attributes. But He has created them, and people assign sons and daughters to Him out of sheer ignorance. Glorified, Exalted is He, infinitely Above what they ascribe to Him. [/FONT]

اور اللہ کے شریک جنوں کو ٹھیراتے ہیں حالانکہ اس نے انہیں پیدا کیا ہے اور جہالت سے اس کے لیے بیٹے اور بیٹیاں تجویز کرتے ہیں وہ پاک ہے اور ان باتوں سے بھی بلند ہے جو وہ بیان کرتے ہیں
[FONT=&quot]
8. Obeying devil-inspired people[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]6:121 Eat not anything (not just meat) unless the Name of Allah has been pronounced first, for that will mean drifting away from Commands. The rebellious or devils [among people] inspire their companions to dispute with you. If you people obey them, you will be associating others with Allah. [/FONT]

اور جس چیز پر الله کا نام نہیں لیا گیا اس میں سے نہ کھاؤ اور بے شک یہ کھانا گناہ ہے اور بے شک شیطان اپنے دوستوں کے دلو ں میں ڈالتے ہیں تاکہ وہ تم سے جھگڑیں اور اگر تم نے ان کا کہا مانا تو تم بھی مشرک ہو جاؤ گے
[FONT=&quot]
9. Calling upon others [graves, mystics, saints, idols, etc.] besides Allah for help[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]7:189 (The Message encompasses life in its totality.) Recall that Allah created life from a single life cell, then made male and female cells, and then shaped you into human beings, males and females. He designed it such that man might incline with love towards the woman. When he gets intimate with her, she carries a light load that she can hardly notice. As she grows heavy with the child, they both implore Allah, their Lord, If you indeed grant us a healthy baby, we shall certainly be among the grateful. [/FONT]

وہ وہی ہے جس نے تمہیں ایک جان سے پیدا کیا اور اسی سے اس کا جوڑ بنایا تاکہ اس سے آرام پائے پھر جب میاں نے بیوی سے ہم بستری کی تو اس کو ہلکا سا حمل رہ گیا پھر اسے لیے پھرتی رہی پھر جب وہ بوجھل ہو گئی تب دونوں میاں بیوی نے الله سے جو ان کا مالک ہے دعا کی اگر آپ نے ہمیں صحیح سالم اولاد دے دی تو ہم ضرور شکر گزار ہوں گے
[FONT=&quot]7:190 But as soon as He grants them a sound baby, they begin to ascribe to other powers beside Him a share in bringing about what He has granted them. Exalted is He, High Above all that they associate with Him.[/FONT]

پھر جب الله نے انکو صحیح سالم اولاد دی تو الله کی دی ہوئی چیزوں میں وہ دونوں الله کا شریک بنانے لگے سو الله ان کے شرک سے پاک ہے
[FONT=&quot]7:191 Do they ascribe to Him as partners things that can create nothing, but are themselves created? [/FONT]

کیا ایسوں کو شریک بناتے ہیں جو کچھ بھھی نہیں بنا سکتے اور وہ خود بنائے ہوئے ہیں
[FONT=&quot]7:192 And they cannot help them, nor can they help themselves. [/FONT]

اور نہ وہ ان کی مدد کر سکتے ہیں اور نہ اپنی ہی مدد کر سکتے ہیں
[FONT=&quot]7:193 When you invite them to the Guidance, they follow you not. It is the same for you whether you invite them or remain silent. [/FONT]

اور اگر تم انہیں راستہ کی طرف بلاؤ تو تمہاری تابعداری نہ کریں برابر ہے کہ تم انہیں پکارو یا چپکے رہو
[FONT=&quot]7:194 Those whom you call upon besides Allah, [such as mystics and saints], are people like you. Go ahead and call upon them, let them respond by helping you if you are true in your belief. [/FONT]
بے شک جنہیں تم الله کے سوا پکارتے ہو وہ تمہاری طرح کے بندے ہیں پھر انہیں پکار کر دیکھو پھر چاہے کہ وہ تمہاری پکار کو قبول کریں اگر تم سچے ہو

[FONT=&quot]
7:195 Do the idols have feet to walk, hands to hold, eyes to see and ears to hear? (Likewise, these human demigods have no foundation of Truth to stand on, nor the power to avert Requital, nor the faculties of confronting Reason). Tell the opponents of the Message, "Call upon your idols and your so-called partners of Allah, contrive what you can, and give me no respite. [/FONT]


کیا ان کے پاؤں ہیں جن سے وہ چلیں یا ان کے ہاتھ ہیں جن سے وہ پکڑیں یا ان کی آنکھیں ہیں جن سے وہ دیکھیں یا ان کے کان ہیں جن سے وہ سنیں کہ تو اپنے شریکوں کو پکارو پھر میری برائی کی تدبیر کرو پھر مجھے ذرا مہلت نہ دو

[FONT=&quot]7:196 My Protecting Friend [Wali] is Allah Who has revealed this Book, and He befriends the righteous. [/FONT]

بےشک میرا حمایتی الله ہے جس نے کتاب نازل فرمائی اور وہ نیکو کاروں کی حمایت کرتا ہے

[FONT=&quot]7:197 Whomever you call instead of Him, have no power to help you, nor can they help themselves. [/FONT]

اور جنہیں تم پکارتے ہو وہ تمہاری مدد نہیں کر سکتے اور نہ اپنی جان کی مدد کر سکتے ہیں
[FONT=&quot]
7:198 Such people are lost in their reverence of false deities. When you invite them to Guidance, they hear without listening and you see them looking at you, but they see not. [/FONT]


اور اگر تم انہیں راستہ کی طرف پکارو تو وہ کچھ نہیں سنیں گے اور تو دیکھے گا کہ وہ تیری طرف دیکھتے ہیں حالانکہ وہ کچھ نہیں دیکھتے
[FONT=&quot]
28:87 And let them not divert you from Allah's Revelations after they have been sent down unto you. But, invite people to your Lord and be not among Mushrikeen. [/FONT]


اور وہ تمہیں الله کی آیتوں سے بعد اس کے کہ تم پر نازل ہو چکی ہیں روک نہ دیں اوراپنے رب کی طرف بلا اور مشرکوں میں ہر گز شامل نہ ہو
[FONT=&quot]
28:88 (Keeping pristine the Divinely ordained System of Life) call not upon [human authorities and man-made systems as] gods side by side with Allah. There is no god but He. Everything is mortal except His Eternal Self. To Him belong all Governance and all Judgment, and unto Him you shall be returned.[/FONT]


اور الله کے ساتھ اور کسی معبود کو نہ پکار اس کے سوا اور کوئی معبود نہیں اس کی ذات کے سوا ہر چیز فنا ہونے والی ہے اسی کا حکم ہے اور اسی کی طرف تم لوٹ کر جاؤ گے
[FONT=&quot]
34:22 Say, Call upon those whom you imagine beside Allah! They have not an atoms weight of power either in the heavens or in the earth, nor have they any share in either, nor does He need any of them as a helper. [/FONT]


کہہ دوالله کے سوا جن کا تمہیں گھمنڈ ہے انہیں پکارو وہ نہ تو آسمان ہی میں ذرّہ بھر اختیار رکھتے ہیں اور نہ زمین میں اور نہ ان کا ان میں کچھ حصہ ہے اور نہ ان میں سے الله کا کوئی مددکار ہے

[FONT=&quot]10. To ascribe Allahs partners in His Kingship or dominion [maalikiyyat] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]17:111 And say, "All Praise is due to Allah Who begets not an offspring, and has no partner in His Dominion, and has absolutely no weakness, hence no need of any aid." And so, extol His limitless Greatness.[/FONT]

اور کہہ دو سب تعریفیں الله کے لیے ہیں جس کی نہ کوئی اولاد ہے اورنہ کوئی اس کا سلطنت میں شریک ہے اور نہ کوئی کمزوری کی وجہ سے اس کا مددگار ہے اور اس کی بڑائی بیان کرتےر ہو
[FONT=&quot]25:2 (The Sender of this Criterion is) He to Whom belongs the Kingship of the heavens and the earth. He has chosen no son, nor does He have a partner in His Kingship. He it is Who creates all things in precise design and gives them the potential to become what they are meant to be. [/FONT]

جس کی آسمانوں اور زمین میں سلطنت ہے اور اس نے نہ کسی کو بیٹا بنایا ہے اور نہ کوئی سلطنت میں اس کا شریک ہے اور اس نے ہر چیز کو پیدا کر کے اندازہ پر قائم کر دیا
[FONT=&quot]
11. To ascribe Allahs partners in His Command or Rule [Hukm][/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]18:26 Say, Allah knows best how long they remained there. His alone is the knowledge of the hidden reality of the heavens and the earth. How well does He see and hear! They have no guardian apart from Him and He shares His Command or Rule with none whosoever [/FONT]

کہہ دو الله بہتر جانتا ہے کہ کتنی مدت رہے تمام آسمانوں اور زمین کا علم غیب اسی کو ہے کیا عجیب دیکھتا اور سنتا ہے ان کا الله کے سوا کوئی بھی مددگار نہیں اور نہ ہی وہ اپنے حکم میں کسی کو شریک کرتا ہے
[FONT=&quot]
12. To ascribe Allahs partners in His Lordship [Raboobiyyat][/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]18:38 As for me, God is my Lord and I will never associate any other god besides my Lord. [/FONT]

لیکن میرا تو الله ہی رب ہے اور میں اس کے ساتھ کسی کو شریک نہیں کروں گا
[FONT=&quot]18:42 And thus it happened. One day, the arrogant mans fruitful gardens were indeed wiped out. And there he was, twisting and turning his hands in sorrow. He lost his property which was now tumbled to pieces in complete ruin. And he could only say, "Oh, I wish I never worshiped anyone (even my property) instead of my Lord! [/FONT]

اور اس کا پھل سمیٹ لیا گیا پھر وہ اپنے ہاتھ ہی ملتا رہ گیا اس پر جو اس نے اس باغ میں خرچ کیا تھا اور وہ اپنی چھتریوں پر گرا پڑا تھا اور کہا کاش میں اپنے رب کے ساتھ کسی کو شریک نہیں کرتا
[FONT=&quot]72:2 It shows the way to Enlightenment, so we have come to believe in it. And we shall never again ascribe a partner unto our Lord. [/FONT]

جو نیکی کی طرف رہنمائی کرتا ہے سو ہم اس پر ایمان لائے ہیں اور ہم اپنے رب کا کسی کو شریک نہ ٹھیرائیں گے
[FONT=&quot]72:20 Say, "I call unto my Lord alone and associate no one with Him (I heed no one against His Laws)." [/FONT]

کہہ دو میں تو اپنے رب ہی کو پکارتا ہوں اور اس کے ساتھ کسی کوبھی شریک نہیں کرتا
[FONT=&quot]
13. To be divided into sects[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]30:31 Turn unto Him alone then, and be mindful of Him, and establish the Divine System and be not of the MUSHRIKEEN who ascribe authorities along with Him. (2:213). [/FONT]

اسی کی طرف رجوع کیے رہو اور اس سے ڈرو اور نماز قائم کرو اور مشرکوں میں سے نہ ہوجاؤ
[FONT=&quot]30:32 The MUSHRIKEEN who split up their religion, and become sects - each sect delighting in whatever beliefs they have. ((3:104), (6:160), (23:53), (42:13). Sectarianism is invariably based upon taking humans as authorities). [/FONT]

جنہوں نے اپنے دین کو ٹکڑے ٹکڑے کر دیا اور کئی فرقے ہو گئے سب فرقے اسی سے خوش ہیں جو ان کے پا س ہے
[FONT=&quot]
14. Failing to establish the Just Economic System of Zakat[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]41:6 (O Prophet) say to them, "I am only a human being like you. It has been revealed to me that your God is One God. Therefore, march along the Straight Road to Him and seek the protection of His forgiveness. And (know that) there is nothing in store but loss for them who associate partners with Him." (Wayl = Woe = Ultimate loss). [/FONT]

آپ ان سے کہہ دیں کہ میں بھی تم جیسا ایک آدمی ہوں میری طرف یہی حکم آتا ہے کہ تمہارا معبود ایک ہی ہے پھراس کی طرف سیدھے چلے جاؤ اور اس سے معافی مانگو اور مشرکوں کے لیے ہلاکت ہے
[FONT=&quot]41:7 Those who (because of submitting to man-made systems) fail to set up the Just Economic Order of Zakat and thus practically deny (the accountability in) the life to come. (And the long-term prosperity and viability of their societies).[/FONT]

جو زکواة نہیں دیتے اور وہ آخرت کے بھی منکر ہیں

(Qur'an 39:3) أَلَا لِلَّهِ الدِّينُ الْخَالِصُ ۚ وَالَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَاءَ مَا نَعْبُدُهُمْ إِلَّا لِيُقَرِّبُونَا إِلَى اللَّهِ زُلْفَىٰ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ فِي مَا هُمْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي مَنْ هُوَ كَاذِبٌ كَفَّارٌ​
Is it not to Allah that sincere devotion is due? But those who take for protectors other than Allah (say): "We only serve them in order that they may bring us nearer to Allah." Truly Allah will judge between them in that wherein they differ. But Allah guides not such as are false and ungrateful.
خبردار! خالص فرمانبرداری الله ہی کے لیے ہے جنہوں نے اس کے سوا اور کارساز بنا لیے ہیں ہم ان کی عبادت نہیں کرتے مگر اس لیے کہ وہ ہمیں الله سے قریب کر دیں بے شک الله ان کے درمیان ان باتوں میں فیصلہ کرے گا جن میں وہ اختلاف کرتےتھے بے شک الله اسے ہدایت نہیں کرتا جو جھوٹا ناشکرگزار ہو

Thanks you very much for this thread. My request to moderators is to make this thread sticky. It should remain on top.

The essence of Islam and all religions before Islam is to worship one and only God. SHIRK is the biggest sin and crime that will not be pardoned. We must realize that this is not an issue of wahabi or non wahabi, its the QURANIC command and we must obey these commnads and never ever assoiate partners with Allah Tala.

Pakistan was given to Muslims to prctice Islam, but majority of us has started un-islamic activities and SHIRK is the biggest crime of all that is rampant in our society. Look at our state, we must mend our ways.

Only Allah is the giver and worship is only to Allah.
Following the whole Quran is good but following selective Ayats is bad. Each and every word Quran tells is to be followed. This man mixing intercession and shirk both and telling that intercession is also shirk. Only Allah is giver and only worship is to Allah. One only ask to Allah.
None of you have told anything about the Quran Ayats in which intercession clearly found. Have you closed your eyes or it that your hearts closed. The truth is mentioned in Quran while you deny it. It is clear that except whom Allah wills. If the Last Messenger peace be upon Him not the exception then no one is exception and then do you tell that these Ayats are waste Nauzobillah.


Any man know meaning of intercession


Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great [2:255]


Notice the word "except" in the above mentioned verse. This verse does not condemn the presence of an intercessor; they just put a condition for the fact of intercession.


That Day, no intercession will benefit except one to whom the Most Merciful has given permission and has accepted his word [20:109]

And intercession does not benefit with Him except for one whom He permits. [And those wait] until, when terror is removed from their hearts, they will say [to one another], "What has your Lord said?" They will say, "The truth." And He is the Most High, the Grand [34:23]


And how many angels there are in the heavens whose intercession will not avail at all except after Allah has permitted to whom He wills and approves [53:26]


He knows what is before them, and what is behind them, and they cannot intercede except for him with whom He is pleased. And they stand in awe for fear of Him [21:28]


And those whom they invoke instead of Him have no power of intercession; except those who bear witness to the truth and they know [43:86]


And We did not send any messenger except to be obeyed by permission of Allah. And if, when they wronged themselves, they had come to you, [O Muhammad], and asked forgiveness of Allah and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah Accepting of repentance and Merciful [4:64]

In waseela Ayats the translation clearly shows that it is not forbidden

Those whom they invoke seek means of access to their Lord, [striving as to] which of them would be nearest, and they hope for His mercy and fear His punishment. Indeed, the punishment of your Lord is ever feared [17:57]

Where is it forbidden tell me in the above Ayat

O you who have believed, fear Allah and seek the means of approach (waseela) to Him and strive in His cause that you may succeed [5:35]

There are numerous Hadees about intercession shall we start dialoguing.

Tawassul in Hadees

Sahih Muslim – Kitab ul Iman



#0367
It is reported on the authority of Abu Zubair that he heard from Jabir b 'Abdullah, who was asked about the arrival (of people on the Day of Resurrection). He said. We would come on the Day of Resurrection like this, like this, and see. carefully. that which concerns" elevated people". He (the narrator) said: Then the people would be summoned along with their idols whom they worshipped, one after another. Then our Lord would come to us and say: Whom are you waiting for? They would say: We are waiting for our Lord. He would say: I am your Lord. They would say: (We are not sure) till we gaze at Thee, and He would manifest Himself to them smilingly, and would go along with them and they would follow Him; and every person, whether a hypocrite or a believer, would be endowed with a light, and there would be spikes and hooks on the bridge of the Hell, which would catch hold of those whom Allah willed. Then the light of the hypocrites would be extinguished, and the believers would secure salvation. and the first group to achieve it would comprise seventy thousand men who would have the brightness of full moon on their faces, and they would not be called to account. Then the people immediately following them would have their faces as the brightest stars in the heaven. This is how (the groups would follow one after another). Then the stage of intercession would come, and they (who are permitted to intercede) would intercede, till he who had declared:" There is no god but Allah" and had in his heart virtue of the weight of a barley grain would come out of the Fire. They would be then brought in the courtyard of Paradise and the inhabitants of Paradise would begin to sprinkle water over them till they would sprout like the sprouting of a thing in flood water, and their burns would disappear. They would ask their Lord till they would be granted (the bounties) of the world and with it ten more besides it.


#0369
Hammad b. Zaid, reported: I said to 'Amr b. Dinar: Did you hear Jabir b. 'Abdullah narrating from the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) that Allah would bring out people from the Fire through intercession. He said: Yes.


#0373
Anas b Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Allah would gather people on the Day of Resurrection and they would be concerned about it, and Ibn Ubaid said. They would get a Divine inspiration about it, and would say: If we could seek intercession with our Lord, we may be relieved from this predicament of ours. He (the Holy Prophet) said: They would come to Adam andsay, Thou art Adam, the father of mankind. Allah created thee with His own hand and breathed unto thee of His Spirit and commanded the angels and they prostrated before thee. So intercede for us with thy Lords, that He may relieve us from this position of ours. He would say: I am not in a position to do this, and would recall his error, and would fight shy of his Lord on account of that; go to Noah the first messenger (after me) sent by Allah. He (the Holy Prophet) said: So they would come to Noah (peace be upon him). He would say: I am not in a position to do that for you, and recall his fault which he had committed, and would fight shy of his Lord on account of that, (and would say): You better go to Ibrahim (peace be upon him) whom Allah took for a friend. They would come to Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and he would say: I am not in a position to do that for you, and would recall his fault that he had committed and would, therefore, fight shy of his Lord on that account (and would say): You better go to Moses (peace be upon him) with whom Allah conversed and con- ferred Torah upon him. He (the Holy Prophet) said: So they would come to Moses (peace be upon him) He would say: I am not in a position to do that for you, and would recall his fault that he had committed and would fight shy of his Lord on account of that (and would say): You better go to Jesus, the Spirit of Allah and His word He would say: I am not in a position to do that for you; you better go to Muhammad (may peace be upon him), a servant whose former and later sins have been forgiven. He (the narrator) said: The Messenger or Allah (may peace be upon him) observed: So they would come to me and I would ask the permission of my Lord and it would be granted to me, and when I would see Him, I would fall down in prostration, and He (Allah) would leave me thus as long as He would wish, and then it would be said: O Muhammad, raise your head, say and you would be heard; ask and it would be granted; intercede and intercession would be accepted. Then I would raise my head and extrol my Lord with the praise which my Lord would teach me. I shall then inter- cede, but a limit would be set for me I would bring them out from the Fire and make them enter Paradise (according to the limit). I shall return then ard fall down in pros- tration and Allah would leave me (in that position) as long as He would wish to leave me it would be said: Rise, O Muhammad, say and you would be heard; ask and it would be conferred; intercede and intercession would be granted. I would raise my head and extrol my Lord with praise that He would teach me. I would theft intercede and a limit would be set for me. I would bring them out of the Fire (of Hell) and make them enter Paradise. He (the narrator) said: I do not remember whether he (the Holy Prophet) said at tLe third time or at the fourth time: O my Lord, none has been left in the Fire, but thise restrained by the Holy Qur'an, i e. those who were eternally doomed. Ibn Ubaid said in a narration: Qatada observed: whose everlasting stay was imperative".


#0388
Amr b. Abu Sufyan reported: Abu Huraira said to Ka'b al-Ahbar that the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) had said: For every apostle there Is a (special) prayer by which he would pray (to his Lord). I, however, intend (if Allah so willed) that I would reserve my prayer for the intercession of my Ummah on the Day of Resurrection. Ka'b said to Abu Huraira: Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)? Abu Huraira said: Yes.


#0389
Abu Huraira said: The Prophet of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: There is for every apostle a prayer which is granted, but every prophet showed haste in his prayer. I have, however, reserved my prayer for the intercession of my Ummah on the Day of Resurrection, and it would be granted, if Allah so willed, in case of everyone amongst my Ummah provided he dies without associating anything with Allah.


#0390
Abu Huraira said: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Every Messenger is endowed with a prayer which is granted and by which he would (pray to his Lord) and it would he granted for him. I have, however, reserved my prayer for the intercession of my Ummab on the Day of Resurrection.


#0391
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: There was for every apostle a prayer with which he prayed for his Ummah and it was granted to him; but I wish, if Allah so wills, to defer my prayer for the intercession of my Ummah on the Day of Resurrection.


#0392
Anas b. Malik reported: Verily the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: There is for every apostle a prayer with which he prays (to Allah) for his Ummah. I have reserved my prayer for the intercession of my Ummah on the Day of Resurrection.


#0393
This hadith is narrated with the same chain of narrators by Qatada.


#0394
Mis'ar transmitted it with the same chain of narrators from Qatada except that in the hadith narrated by Waki' (the Prophet) said:" He was endowed," and in the hadith reported by Abu Usama (the words are):" It is reported from the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him)."


#0395
Muhammad b. 'Abd al-A'la reported it to me: Mu'tamir narrated to us on the authority of his father who transmitted it liom Anas that verity the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) said, and then narrated the hadith like the one transmitted by Qatada on the authority of Anas.


#0396
Abu Zubair heard Jabir b. Abdullah reporting it from the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him): For every apostle was a prayer with which he prayed (to his Lord) for his Ummah, but I have reserved my prayer for the intercession of my Ummah on the Day of Resurrection.


#0397
'Abdullah b. Amr b. al-'As reported: Verily the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) recited the words of Allah, the Great and Glorious, that Ibrahim uttered. My Lord! lo! they have led many of mankind astray:" But whoso followeth me, he verily is of me" (al-Qur'an, xiv. 35) and Jesus (peace be upon him) said:" If thou punisheth them, lo! they are Thy slaves, and if Thou forgiveth them-verily Thou art the Mighty, the Wise" (al-Qur'an, v 117). Then he raised his hands and said: O Lord, my Ummah, my Ummah, and wept; so Allah the High and the Exalted said: O Gabriel, go to Muhammad (though your Lord knows it fully well) and ask him: What makes thee weep? So Gabriel (peace be upon him) came to him and asked him, and the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) informed him what he had said (though Allah knew it fully well). Upon this Allah said: O Gabriel, go to Muhammad any say: Verily We will please thee with regard to your Ummah and would not displease thee.


#0411
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported: A mention was made of his uncle Abu Talib before the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) He said: My intercession may benefit him on the Day of Resurrection and he may be placed in the shallow part of the Fire which would reach his ankles and his brain would be boiling


#0420
Abu Huraira reported: I heard it from the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) saying: A group of my Ummah consisting of seventy thousand persons would enter Paradise; their faces would be as bright as the brightness of the full moon. Abd Huraira said: 'Ukkasha b. Mihsan al-Asadi then stood up wrapping the blanket around him and said: Messenger of Allah, supplicate (before) Allah that He should make me one among them. Upon this the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: O Allah, make him among them. Then stood up a man from the Ansa and said: Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah that He should make me one among them. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: 'Ukkasha has preceded you in this matter.


#0422
It is reported on the authority of 'Imran that the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Seventy thousand people of my Ummah would be admitted into Paradise without rendering any account. They (the companions) said: Who would be of those (fortunate persons)? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Those who do not cauterise and practise charm, but repose trust in their Lord, 'Ukkasha then stood up and said: Supplicate (before) Allah that He should make me one among them. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Thou art one among them He (the narrator) said: A man stood up and said: Apostle of Allah, supplicate (before) Allah that He should make me one among them.

Man zara qabri wajabat lahu shafa`ati.
Whoever visits my grave, it becomes incumbent upon me to intercede for him.

Narrated by al-Daraqutni, al-Dulabi, al-Bayhaqi, Khatib al-Baghdadi, al-`Uqayli, Ibn `Adiy, Tabarani, and Ibn Khuzaymah in his Sahih, all through various chains going back to Musa ibn Hilal al-`Abdiyy from Ubayd Allah Ibn Umar, both from Nafi`, from Ibn `Umar.
Dhahabi declared this chain hasan (fair) as narrated, in "Mizan al- i`tidal," vol. 4, p. 226: "Huwa salih al-hadith" which means:"He -- Musa ibn Hilal -- is good in his narrations." Al-Sakhawi confirmed him in the "Maqasid al-hasana", while al-Subki declared it sahih according to Samhudi in Sa`adat al-drayn 1:77. Ibn `Adiyy said: "He [Musa ibn Hilal] is most likely acceptable; other people have called him 'unknown' and this is not true... He is one of the shuyukhs of Imam Ahmad and most of them are trustworthy." al-Kamil fi al-Du`afa (6:2350). Albani declared him "thabit al-riwaya" (of established reliability) in his Irwa' 4:338. About `Ubayd Allah ibn `Umar al-`Umari: - Dhahabi calls him "saduq hasan al-hadith" [truthful, of fair narrations] al-Mughni 1:348; - Sakhawi says of him "salih al-hadith" [of sound narrations] al-tuhfat al-latifat 3:366; - Ibn Mu`in said to Darimi about him: "salih thiqat" [sound and reliable] al-kamil 4:1459.

Sayyiduna Uthmaan ibn Hunayf [radhiallaahu anhu] narrates that once a blind person came to Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] and said, ‘Oh Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam]! Ask Allah to cure me.’ Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] replied, ‘If you wish I will make Du’aa or else you may be patient and this is better for you.’ The man said, ‘Make Du’aa instead’, Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] then commanded him to make Wudhu properly and that he recites the following Du’aa, ‘Oh Allah, verily, I ask of you and I turn to you through your prophet, the prophet of mercy, O Muhammad [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam], verily, I have turned to my Lord through you so that my need be fulfilled. Oh Allah, accept his intercession on my behalf.’ (Musnad Ahmad vol.4 pg.138; Sunan Tirmidhi; Sunan ibn Majah; Mustadrak Haakim and others). Imaams Tirmidhi, ibn Khuzaymah and Haakim have classified this Hadith as authentic. The words, ‘I turn to you through your prophet’ clearly proves Tawassul through the position of a person. Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] also told him that he should make the same supplication whenever he needed to. (al-Raddul Muhkamul Mateen pg.145)
Sayyiduna Uthmaan ibn Hunayf [radhiallaahu anhu] taught this du’aa to someone after the demise of Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam]. That person’s need was also fulfilled.



c]
Abu Umaamah ibn Sahl ibn Hunayf [radhiallaahu anhu] reports that a person requested Sayyiduna Uthmaan ibn Affaan [radhiallaahu anhu] to fulfil his need. Sayyiduna Uthmaan [radhiallaahu anhu] did not attend to him. The person complained to Sayyiduna Uthmaan ibn Hunayf [radhiallaahu anhu] about his plight. Sayyiduna Uthmaan ibn Hunayf [radhiallaahu anhu] told him to make Wudhu, go to the Musjid, offer 2 Rakaats of Salaat and recite the following Du’aa: ‘O Allah, verily I ask you and I turn to you through our prophet, the prophet of mercy (Rasulullah – sallallaahu alayhi wasallam). O Muhammad! Verily, I have turned to our Lord through you so that He may fulfil my need.’
The person then went to Sayyiduna Uthmaan ibn Affaan [radhiallahu anhu] who then [radhiallaahu anhu] immediately fulfilled his need and told him to return whenever he had any need in the future. (al-Mu’jamus sagheer vol.1 pg.184; al-Mu’jamul Kabeer vol.9 pg.17; Dalaailun-nubuwwah of Imaam Bayhaqi vol.6 pg.167-168)
Imaam Tabrani has mentioned that this Hadith is authentic. (al-Mu’jamus sagheer vol.1 pg.184). Allamah Mahmood Zaahid Al- Kawthari has also classified the chains of Baihaqi to be Saheeh (authentic). (Maqaalatul-Kawthari pg.391).

Sayyiduna Anas ibn Maalik [radhiallaahu anhu] reports that when the mother of Sayyiduna Ali [radhiallahu anhu] passed away (Faatima bint Asad – radhiallaahu anha], Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] made the following Du’aa before burying her: ‘O Allah, The One who gives life and death, and Who is living and will never die, forgive my mother Faatima bint Asad [radhiallaahu anha], and make her arguments known to her, i.e. make the answering of Munkar and Nakeer easy, and make her grave spacious for her. (I ask you) through the right of your prophet and all the prophet’s before me, for verily You are Most Merciful.’ (al-Mu’jamul awsat vol.1 pg.152; Hilya vol.3 pg.121)

‘Bi haqqi nabiyyika’ (through the right of your prophet). This narration is classified as authentic according to the standards of Imaam ibn Hibbaan and Haakim. (Raf’ul Manaarah pg.147; Maqaalaatul Kawthari). Haafiz Ibn Hajar Al-Haytami(RA) that its chain of narrators is good.(Refer to his footnotes on Al-Manaasik of Imaam Nawawi(RA) pg.500…)

When a person leaves the Musjid, the following du’aa is recorded, ‘Allaahumma inniy as-aluka bi haqqis-saa-ileena alayka, wa bi haqqi mamshaaya haaza…’. (Translation: Oh Allah, I ask you through the right of those who ask you and through the right of the act of my walking…)
In this narration, Tawassul through people is established, ‘…through the right of those who ask’ and Tawassul through one’s deeds is supported by the second part. This Hadith is recorded in Sunan ibn Maajah, Musnad Ahmad (vol.3 pg.21), Musannaf ibn Abi Shaybah and others. The following Muhadditheen have regarded it as authentic: Imaam ibn Khuzaymah (Kitaab Tawheed pg.17), Hafiz Abdul-Ghani al-Maqdisi (al-Naseehah), Hafiz Abul-Hasan al-Maqdisi – teacher of Allaamah Munzhiri (refer al-Targheeb vol.3 pg.273), Allamah al-Iraqi – Ustaadh of Hafiz ibn Hajar (Takhrijul Ihyaa), Hafiz ibn Hajar al-Asqalaani (Nataa-ijul Afkaar vol.1 pg.272), Hafiz Dimyati (Al-Matjarur-raabih). These are six great Muhadditheen that have accepted this Hadith to be authentic, hence, there remains no doubt at all concerning its acceptability.

Sayyiduna Maalik al-Daar, the treasurer of food during the time of Sayyiduna Umar ibn al-Khattaab [radhiallaahu anhu], reports that once the people had been experiencing a drought in the era of Sayyiduna Umar [radhiallaahu anhu], a man went to the grave of Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] and said, ‘O Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam], ask for rain on behalf of your Ummah, for verily, they are being destroyed.’ Thereafter this person was instructed in a dream to go to Sayyiduna Umar [radhiallaahu anhu] and tell him that, ‘the rains will soon come and say to him, Be intelligent’, When Umar [radhiallaahu anhu] was informed of this, he began to cry and he said, ‘O My Lord, I will only leave out what I am unable to do.’ (Musannaf ibn Abi Shaybah vol.12 pg.31-32; Dalaailun-nubuwwah of Imaam Bayhaqi vol.7 pg.47). Hafiz ibn Katheer [ra] has stated that the chain of narrators is ‘good and strong’ (Musnadul Faarooq vol.1 pg.223). Hafiz ibn Hajar has also indicated to its authenticity in Fathul Bari.

Abul-Jawzaa – Aws ibn Abdullah [radhiallaahu anhu] reports that once, the people of Madinah were experiencing a severe drought. They complained to Sayyidatuna Aaisha [radhiallahu anha]. She advised them that they should make a hole in the tomb of the roof of Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] so that the grave is exposed to the skies. He says, ‘When they made a hole, heavy rains came down and crops also began to grow.’ (Sunan Darimi vol.1 pg.56)

Dawud ibn Salih says: "[The Umayyad Caliph] Marwan [ibn al-Hakam] one day saw a man placing his face on top of the grave of the Prophet . He said: "Do you know what you are doing?" When he came near him, he realized it was Abu Ayyub al-Ansari. The latter said: "Yes; I came to the Prophet , not to a stone. I heard the Prophet say:
Do not weep on religion if its people assume its leadership (walyahu), but weep on it if other than its people assume it."

Ahmad 5:422, Hakim (Mustadrak 4:515); both the latter and al-Dhahabi said it was sahih. It is thus cited by as-Subki (Shifa' as-siqam p. 126), Ibn Taymiyya (al-Muntaqa 2:261f.), and al-Haythami (al-Zawa'id 4:2).

All jurists including Imami' Shafi'i' Maliki' and later-day Hanafi scholars as well as others such as the Hanbalis' are unanimous on the permissibility of supplication whether it was in the lifetime of the Prophet (s) or whether it is after his passing away.

The Spanish Maliki legal theorist Abu Ishaq al-Shatibi (d. 790/1388) wrote in the eighth chapter of his work al-I’tisam while discussing examples of al-masalih al-mursalah (matters of public interest introduced without specific evidences from the Qur’an or Sunnah), which he takes as the only exception to innovations in religion: “We will restrict ourselves to ten examples of al-masalih al-mursalah. The first of them is that the Companions of the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) agreed upon the compilation of the mushaf, while there is no direct text [instructing] its composition and also its writing, rather one of them [i.e. the Companions] said ‘How can we do something which Allah’s Messenger did not do (Allah bless him and grant him peace)?’


“Thus, it was narrated from Zayd ibn Thabit (Allah be pleased with him) [that] he said: Abu Bakr (Allah be pleased with him) sent for me after the [heavy] casualties in [the battle of] Yamama while ‘Umar (Allah be pleased with him) was with him. He said: ‘Umar came to me and said, ‘The people have suffered heavy casualties among the reciters on the day of Yamama, and I am afraid that there will be more casualties among the reciters at other battle-fields, whereby a large part of the Qur’an may be lost, unless you compile it, so I am of the opinion that you should instruct the collection of the Qur’an.’ He said: I said to him, ‘How can I do something which Allah’s Messenger did not do?’ ‘Umar said to me, ‘By Allah, it is good.’ So ‘Umar kept on pressing me till Allah opened my bosom to it and I saw in it what ‘Umar saw in it.’ Zayd said: Then Abu Bakr said, ‘Indeed you are a wise young man and we do not suspect you. Indeed you used to write the revelation for Allah’s Messenger. Therefore, trace the Qur’an and collect it.’ Zayd said: By Allah, if they had charged me to shift a mountain from the mountains it would not have been heavier on me than that. Then I said, ‘How can you do a thing which the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) did not do?’ So Abu Bakr said, ‘By Allah, it is good.’ So he kept pressing me till Allah opened my bosom to that which He had opened their bosoms. So I traced the Qur’an, collecting it from parchments, scapula, leaf-stalks of date palms and from the breasts of men.’ [Transmitted in Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab al-Tafsir] Hence, this is a deed in which no dispute has been transmitted from the Companions.



“Moreover, it was narrated from Anas ibn Malik that it was [the time when] the people of Sham and the people of Iraq were waging war to conquer Armenia and Azerbaijan and Hudyahfah ibn al-Yaman was afraid of their differences in [the recitation of] the Qur’an, so he said to ‘Uthman, ‘O leader of the faithful! Take hold of this nation before they differ about the Book as the Jews and the Christians differed before.’ So ‘Uthman sent [a message] to Hafsah, ‘Send me the manuscripts [of the Qur'an]. We will copy them into mushafs and then return them to you.’ So Hafsah sent the manuscripts to ‘Uthman. ‘Uthman then sent [them] to Zayd ibn Thabit, ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr, Sa’id ibn al-’As and ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Harith ibn Hisham and he commanded them to copy them into mushafs. Then he said to the three Qurayshi men, ‘In whatever you disagree with Zayd ibn Thabit about, write it in the dialect of Quraysh since it was revealed in their tongue.’ He said: ‘They did so, and when they had copied the manuscripts into mushafs, ‘Uthman sent to every province one mushaf from those mushafs they copied. Then he ordered that all readings other than this, in manuscript [form] or in mushafs, be burnt.’ [Transmitted in Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab Fada'il al-Qur'an] Hence, this too is a consensus on [the legitimacy of] its writing and uniting people on one reading whereby differences in large part will not result, because they did not differ except in the readings, according to what the ‘ulama specialised in this field transmitted.


“Moreover, none opposed the matter except ‘Abd Allah ibn Mas’ud because he prohibited the disposal of that which he possessed of [manuscripts containing] readings different to the mushafs of ‘Uthman and he said: ‘O people of ‘Iraq!’ or ‘O people of Kufa! Conceal the mushafs that you have and embezzle them for indeed Allah (Most High) has said “Whoso embezzles will bring what he embezzled with him on the Day of Resurrection” (3:161) so meet Allah with the mushafs’ [Abu 'Ubayd transmitted it in Fada'il al-Qur'an]. Look carefully at his words because he did not oppose its compilation and he only opposed another matter. Despite this, ibn Shihab said: ‘It reached me that men from the most virtuous of the Companions of Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and grant him peace) disliked this [because] of the statement of ibn Mas’ud’. A text has not been narrated from the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) about that which they did, but they considered it a benefit (maslahah) that is absolutely in line with the regulations of the Shari’ah (tasarrufat al-shar’), because it derives from the [need to] preserve the Shari’ah, and the command to protect it is acknowledged; and [the command] to prevent the means to disputation about its source which is the Qur’an, and the prohibition of disputation over it is known to a degree not [requiring] more [detail].


Al-Shatibi discusses Tarawih and ‘Umar’s statement in the third chapter of al-I’tisam. He writes “As for the category of recommendation (mandub), it is not from bid’ahs in any situation. This may be clarified by considering the examples used in support of it, like Salat al-Tarawih during Ramadan in congregation in the mosque, since the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) established it and the people gathered behind him.


“Abu Dawud transmitted from Abu Dharr [that] he said: We fasted with the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) during Ramadan, but he did not stand with us [in prayer] in any part of the month till seven [nights] remained; then he stood with us till a third of the night had passed. When the sixth [remaining night] came, he did not stand with us. When the fifth [remaining night] came, he stood with us till a half of the night passed. So we said, ‘We wish you had led us in supererogatory prayers during the whole of tonight.’ He said, ‘When a man prays with an imam till he goes, he is reckoned as having spent a whole night in prayer.’ When the fourth [remaining night] came he did not stand with us. When the third [remaining night] came, he gathered his family, his wives, and the people and prayed with us till we were afraid we should miss success (falah). [The sub-narrator] asked: ‘What is success?’ He said: ‘Suhur (the predawn meal). Then he did not stand with us for the remainder of the month.’ Al-Tirmidhi [narrated something] similar to this and he said in it ’sound and authentic (hasan sahih).’


“However when he (Allah bless him and grant him peace) feared it would become obligatory on the ummah he withheld from it. Thus, in the Sahih [it is narrated] from ‘A’ishah (Allah be pleased with her) that one night Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and grant him peace) prayed in the mosque and the people followed him in prayer. The next night he also prayed and the people increased. On the third or fourth night they gathered, but Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and grant him peace) did not come out to them. When morning came he said, ‘I saw what you were doing and nothing but the fear that it might be enjoined on you, stopped me from coming.’ And that was in the month of Ramadan. Malik also transmitted it in al-Muwatta.


“Pay careful attention, for in this hadith is that which proves it is sunnah since his standing [in prayer] with them first is a proof for the standing in the mosque in congregation during Ramadan and his prohibition to come out after that, for fear of it becoming obligatory, does not prove it is absolutely prohibited because his age was the age of revelation and legislation, so it was possible revelation would come to him if he practiced it with the people with persistence. Thus when the cause of legislation disappeared with the death of Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and grant him peace), the matter returned to its origin, and the permissibility is established, as nothing abrogated it.


“Abu Bakr did not establish it for one of two reasons: either because he saw people standing in the last part of the night and what they were on was better according to him than their gathering under an imam in the first part of the night - this was mentioned by al-Turtushi; or because of the shortness of his time to look into these peripheral matters along with his preoccupations with the apostates and other than that which was more pressing than Salat al-Tarawih. And when Islam became established in the time of ‘Umar (Allah be pleased with him) and he saw people in the mosque scattered, as has come in the narration, he said, ‘it would better if these [people] gathered under one reciter’ and when that was done for him, he drew attention to the prayer in the last part of the night being better. Then the predecessors agreed on the correctness of this and its approval, and the ummah does not agree on misguidance. Legal theorists (usuliyyun) have explicated that ijma’ is not but a [result] of evidence from the Shari’ah.


“If it is said that Umar (Allah be pleased with him) called it a bid’ah and deemed it good by his statement ‘what a blessed bid’ah this is’ so when one bid’ah is deemed good in the Shar’iah, the general [principle] of deeming bid’ah good is established. The response is: ‘Umar only called it bid’ah by consideration of the apparent situation from the perspective that Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and grant him peace) left it and it so happened that it did not occur in the time of Abu Bakr (Allah be pleased with him), not that it is bid’ah in the [proper] sense. Thus, whoever calls it bid’ah by this consideration there is no fundamental quarrel, and thereupon it is not permissible to adduce this as proof for the permissibility of innovation in the sense discussed [previously], because that is a kind of distortion of words from their [proper] contexts.” (Kitab al-I’tisam, Vol 1, pp. 323-327)

Tawassul and Waseelah literally means to make a request or supplicate through a means. It is permissible for one to request Allah Ta’ala to accept his du’aa through the medium of some deeds or the rank of certain individuals as this may be closer to acceptance.

There are various forms of Tawassul and Waseela:

1. To make Tawassul to Almighty Allah that He accepts the Du’aa due to one having performed a certain good deed is permissible and unanimously accepted. It is supported by the Hadith of Sahih Bukhari in which three people were trapped in a cave. Each of them made Du’aa to Allah Ta’ala to move the obstructing rock and they requested Allah Ta’ala to accept their du’aas due to some good deed that each of them had done.

2. To make Tawassul with the names and attributes of Almighty Allah: This is also permissible and is supported by the following verse, ‘And Allah has beautiful names, so call unto Him through them.’ (Surah A’araaf v.180). Example: If someone says, ‘Oh Allah, I ask you through your attributes and beautiful names to grant my specific wish.’

3. To make Tawassul to Allah Ta’ala through the rank and position of certain individuals, alive or deceased, in the sight of Almighty Allah This includes the Prophets [alayhimus salaam], the martyrs and any other pious servant of Allah. Example: If one says, ‘Oh Allah, I beseech you to accept my du’aa due to the status of Rasulullah [Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam] in Your eyes.’ This form of Tawassul is also permissible according to the vast majority of the Ulama (scholars) and it has in fact remained part of their practise.

4. Some scholars even mention a fourth type of Tawassul, where a person requests some living pious servant of Allah to make du’aa for him: This is also unanimously accepted.

The only type of Tawassul that is disputed is number3, where one makes Tawassul through individuals that are alive or deceased by saying, ‘O Allah, I besech you to accept my Du’aa due to the status that Rasulullah [Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam] (or some other pious person) hold in Your eyes.’ The first opposition against this form of Tawassul was in the 7th century of Islam. (shifaa-u-siqaam)

There are numerous proofs that support the permissibility of Tawassul through individuals. The following are some substantiations:

1. Sayyiduna Uthmaan ibn Hunayf [radhiallaahu anhu] narrates that once a blind person came to Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] and said, ‘Oh Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam]! Ask Allah to cure me.’ Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] replied, ‘If you wish I will make Du’aa or else you may be patient and this is better for you.’ The man said, ‘Make Du’aa instead’, Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] then commanded him to make Wudhu properly and that he recites the following Du’aa, ‘Oh Allah, verily, I ask of you and I turn to you through your prophet, the prophet of mercy, O Muhammad [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam], verily, I have turned to my Lord through you so that my need be fulfilled. Oh Allah, accept his intercession on my behalf.’ (Musnad Ahmad vol.4 pg.138; Sunan Tirmidhi; Sunan ibn Majah; Mustadrak Haakim and others). Imaams Tirmidhi, ibn Khuzaymah and Haakim have classified this Hadith as authentic. The words, ‘I turn to you through your prophet’ clearly proves Tawassul through the position of a person. Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] also told him that he should make the same supplication whenever he needed to. (al-Raddul Muhkamul Mateen pg.145)

2. Sayyiduna Uthmaan ibn Hunayf [radhiallaahu anhu] taught this du’aa to someone after the demise of Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam]. That person’s need was also fulfilled.

Abu Umaamah ibn Sahl ibn Hunayf [radhiallaahu anhu] reports that a person requested Sayyiduna Uthmaan ibn Affaan [radhiallaahu anhu] to fulfil his need. Sayyiduna Uthmaan [radhiallaahu anhu] did not attend to him. The person complained to Sayyiduna Uthmaan ibn Hunayf [radhiallaahu anhu] about his plight. Sayyiduna Uthmaan ibn Hunayf [radhiallaahu anhu] told him to make Wudhu, go to the Musjid, offer 2 Rakaats of Salaat and recite the following Du’aa: ‘O Allah, verily I ask you and I turn to you through our prophet, the prophet of mercy (Rasulullah – sallallaahu alayhi wasallam). O Muhammad! Verily, I have turned to our Lord through you so that He may fulfil my need.’

The person then went to Sayyiduna Uthmaan ibn Affaan [radhiallahu anhu] who then [radhiallaahu anhu] immediately fulfilled his need and told him to return whenever he had any need in the future. (al-Mu’jamus sagheer vol.1 pg.184; al-Mu’jamul Kabeer vol.9 pg.17; Dalaailun-nubuwwah of Imaam Bayhaqi vol.6 pg.167-168)

Imaam Tabrani has mentioned that this Hadith is authentic. (al-Mu’jamus sagheer vol.1 pg.184). Allamah Mahmood Zaahid Al- Kawthari has also classified the chains of Baihaqi to be Saheeh (authentic). (Maqaalatul-Kawthari pg.391). For a detailed analysis refer to al-Raddul Muhkamul Mateen of Shaykh Abdullah Siddique al-Ghumarie pgs.141-157; Raf’ul Manaarah of Shaykh Mahmood Sa’eed Mamdooh pgs.125-131

3. Sayyiduna Anas ibn Maalik [radhiallaahu anhu] reports that when the mother of Sayyiduna Ali [radhiallahu anhu] passed away (Faatima bint Asad – radhiallaahu anha], Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] made the following Du’aa before burying her: ‘O Allah, The One who gives life and death, and Who is living and will never die, forgive my mother Faatima bint Asad [radhiallaahu anha], and make her arguments known to her, i.e. make the answering of Munkar and Nakeer easy, and make her grave spacious for her. (I ask you) through the right of your prophet and all the prophet’s before me, for verily You are Most Merciful.’ (al-Mu’jamul awsat vol.1 pg.152; Hilya vol.3 pg.121)

‘Bi haqqi nabiyyika’ (through the right of your prophet). This narration is classified as authentic according to the standards of Imaam ibn Hibbaan and Haakim. (Raf’ul Manaarah pg.147; Maqaalaatul Kawthari). Haafiz Ibn Hajar Al-Haytami(RA) that its chain of narrators is good.(Refer to his footnotes on Al-Manaasik of Imaam Nawawi(RA) pg.500…)

4. When a person leaves the Musjid, the following du’aa is recorded, ‘Allaahumma inniy as-aluka bi haqqis-saa-ileena alayka, wa bi haqqi mamshaaya haaza…’. (Translation: Oh Allah, I ask you through the right of those who ask you and through the right of the act of my walking…)

In this narration, Tawassul through people is established, ‘…through the right of those who ask’ and Tawassul through one’s deeds is supported by the second part. This Hadith is recorded in Sunan ibn Maajah, Musnad Ahmad (vol.3 pg.21), Musannaf ibn Abi Shaybah and others. The following Muhadditheen have regarded it as authentic: Imaam ibn Khuzaymah (Kitaab Tawheed pg.17), Hafiz Abdul-Ghani al-Maqdisi (al-Naseehah), Hafiz Abul-Hasan al-Maqdisi – teacher of Allaamah Munzhiri (refer al-Targheeb vol.3 pg.273), Allamah al-Iraqi – Ustaadh of Hafiz ibn Hajar (Takhrijul Ihyaa), Hafiz ibn Hajar al-Asqalaani (Nataa-ijul Afkaar vol.1 pg.272), Hafiz Dimyati (Al-Matjarur-raabih). These are six great Muhadditheen that have accepted this Hadith to be authentic, hence, there remains no doubt at all concerning its acceptability.

The following two proofs illustrate to us the practise of the Sahaaba [radhiallaahu anhum] as well:

5. Sayyiduna Maalik al-Daar, the treasurer of food during the time of Sayyiduna Umar ibn al-Khattaab [radhiallaahu anhu], reports that once the people had been experiencing a drought in the era of Sayyiduna Umar [radhiallaahu anhu], a man went to the grave of Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] and said, ‘O Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam], ask for rain on behalf of your Ummah, for verily, they are being destroyed.’ Thereafter this person was instructed in a dream to go to Sayyiduna Umar [radhiallaahu anhu] and tell him that, ‘the rains will soon come and say to him, Be intelligent’, When Umar [radhiallaahu anhu] was informed of this, he began to cry and he said, ‘O My Lord, I will only leave out what I am unable to do.’ (Musannaf ibn Abi Shaybah vol.12 pg.31-32; Dalaailun-nubuwwah of Imaam Bayhaqi vol.7 pg.47). Hafiz ibn Katheer [ra] has stated that the chain of narrators is ‘good and strong’ (Musnadul Faarooq vol.1 pg.223). Hafiz ibn Hajar has also indicated to its authenticity in Fathul Bari.

6. Abul-Jawzaa – Aws ibn Abdullah [radhiallaahu anhu] reports that once, the people of Madinah were experiencing a severe drought. They complained to Sayyidatuna Aaisha [radhiallahu anha]. She advised them that they should make a hole in the tomb of the roof of Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] so that the grave is exposed to the skies. He says, ‘When they made a hole, heavy rains came down and crops also began to grow.’ (Sunan Darimi vol.1 pg.56)

7. Imaam Haakim and others have narrated on the authority of Sayyiduna Umar ibn al-Khattaab [radhiallaahu anhu] that Rasulullah [Sallallahu alayhi wasallam] said, ‘When Adam [alayhis salaam] ate from the forbidden tree, he said, ‘O My Lord, I ask you through the right of Muhammad [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] that you forgive me.’ The words used were, ‘Bi haqqi Muhammad’ Allah Ta’ala accepted Aadam’s [alayhis salaam] repentance. (al-Mustadrak vol.2 pg.615; Dalaailun-Nubuwwah of Imaam Bayhaqi vol.5 pg.489; al-Mu’jamus saghir of Imaam Tabrani vol.2 pg.82)

The status of this narration has been extensively disputed by the various Muhadditheen. Some have accepted it to be authentic and others rejected it. However, there is another narration that supports this narration recorded by Imaam Abul-Hasan ibn Bishraan [ra] on the authority of Sayyidatuna Maysarah [radhiallaahu anha]. The chain of narrators for this Hadith is totally different from the previous one. And in fact, Hafiz ibn Hajar [ra] has stated concerning a completely different narration which has the very same chain of narrators, that this chain of narrators is strong. (al-Raddul Muhkamul Mateen pgs.138-139; al-Ahaadeethul Muntaqaa pg.14, both of Shaykh Abdullah Siddique al-Ghumarie). These narrations have all proven beyond a shadow of doubt that this form of Tawassul is permissible and was widely practised as well.

Hereunder follows a list of some of the many illustrious Ulama of the past who had practised upon Tawassul through the rank of the pious, deceased or alive:

1. Imaam Hasan ibn Ibrahim al-Hallal [ra] has stated that whenever he had any urgent need, he would go to the grave of Imaam Moosa ibn Ja’far [ra] and make Tawassul through him. Allah Ta’ala would fulfil his need. (refer Taarikh Baghdaad)

2. Imaam Shaafi’ee [ra] would make Tawassul at the grave of Imaam Abu Hanifa [ra]. (Taarikh Baghdaad). Allaamah al-Kawthari has classified this incident as authentic. (Maqaalaatul Kawthari pg.381)

3. Allaamah Taajuddeen al-Subki [ra] has mentioned that the people would go to the grave of Imaam ibn Foorak(ra), the teacher of Imaam Bayhaqi [ra] and make Du’aa and their Du’aas would get accepted.

4. Hafiz Al-Zarkashi [ra] has made Tawassul in the introduction to his commentary to Sahih al-Bukhari entitled, ‘al-Tanqeeh’.

5. Hafiz Taqi-u-ddin al-Subki [ra], the father of Taajuddin al-Subki [ra], has approved of this firm of Tawassul and he has written a detailed treatise on this topic. (See his book: Shifaa-u-Siqaam pgs.293-318)

6. Allamah Nawawi [ra] has mentioned that from among the etiquettes of visiting the grave of Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] one should make Tawassul through Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] to Allah Ta’ala to accept his Du’aas. Thereafter, Allamah Nawawi states, ‘…and one of the best things that one should do is what has been related by Allaamah al-Mawardi [ra], al-Qaadhi Abu Teeb [ra] and all our Ulama and they have all regarded it as commendable, and that is the incident of Imaam al-Utabi [ra] that he said, ‘I was once seated by the grave of Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam], when a Bedouin came and said, ‘Peace be upon you, oh, Messenger of Allah. O Messenger of Allah, I have heard Almighty Allah say in the Qur’aan “And if they, when they had been unjust to themselves, had come to you (Muhammad Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and begged Allah’s forgiveness and the messenger had begged forgiveness for them, indeed they would have found Allah All-Forgiving. Most merciful.(Al-Nisaa:64) hence, I have come to you in a state that I seek forgiveness of my sins by seeking your intercession by my Lord’, thereafter he recited a few couplets and departed. Imaam al-Utabi [ra] states, ‘I then fell asleep and I saw Rasulullah [sallallahu alayhi wasallam] instructing me by the words, ‘O Utabi, go to that Bedouin and give him the glad tidings that Almighty Allah has forgiven him.’ (Refer al-Majmoo vol.8 pg.456 – Cairo and Manaasikul-Imaam-Al-Nawawi pg.498-499 Maktabah Salafia). This incident has been related by many Ulama in their respective compilations. Some of them are: Haafiz Ibn-Katheer in his Tafseer, Allamah Abu-Muhammad ibn Qudaamah in Al-Mughni vol.3 pg.556, Imaam Abul-Faraj in Al-Sharhul-Kabeervol.3 pg.495, etc.)

7. Imaam Ahmad bin Hambal(RA) has also encouraged making Tawassul through Rasulullah [sallallahu alayhi wasallam] in ones duas. (Fataawa ibn Taimiyyah vol.1 pg.140, Also see Mafaaheem pg.137)

8. Haafiz Shamsud-Deen Al-Sakhawi (RA), the grand student of Haafiz ibn Hajr Al-Asqalaani(RA) made Tawassul on many occasions through Rasulullah [Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam] in his books, see for example Al-Tuhfatul-Lateefah vol.1 pg.3, 17; al-Ibtihaaj bi azkaaril musaafiril haaj

9. Allamah Muhammad ibn-ul-Jazri(RA) the famous Muhaddith and Master of Qira’aat has mentioned that from amongst the Aadaab etiquettes of dua is that one makes Tawassul with the Ambiyaa and the pious ones.(Al-Hisnul Haseen)

10. Imaam Al-Shawkaani Al-Salafi(RA) has also permitted Tawassul. (Tuhfatu-Zaakireen pg.50)

These are ten Different types of Ulama (i.e. some are Fuqahaa, some Muhadditheen and some are Qurraa). All have either practised on Tawassul or at least permitted it. And the list could go on….(refer to Maqaalatul Kawthari pg.378-397). After contemplating on all that was mentioned above, any person with sound intelligence would believe without a shadow of doubt in the permissibility of this form of Tawassul.

More so when one realizes that this remained the practise of the Ummah for centuries. Allamah Taqee-ud-Deen Al-Subki(RA) and other Muhadditheen have stated that Haafiz Ibn-Taimiyyah(RA) – who passed away in the year 728 Hijri - was the first to refute the permissibility of this form of Tawassul (Shifaa-us-Siqaam pg.293) In fact, Abu-Abdillah Al-Tilmisani Al-Maaliki(RA) (a renown scholar of the 7th century) has written a book concerning how this remained the practise of the entire Ummah since its existence. (Refer Maqaalatul Kawthari pg.397)

Lastly, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that the above permissibility is in regard to one who asks Allah Ta’ala for a particular need and in doing so, he uses some honourable personality as his Waseela (means) without thinking or believing that the person is being supplicated to or that he will fulfil his need. Yes, if one asks directly from the deceased and he believes that the Anbiyaa [alayhimus salaam] and the pious [rahimahumullah] independently possess the power to provide, then this would be Shirk (polytheism) because he is now ascribing partners to Allah in the quality of ‘Providing’.

Many contemporaries have mixed both these forms up; a) asking directly from the deceased and, b) asking Allah Alone, through the medium of some deceased) and have passed one ruling of Shirk for both forms. This is clearly a gross oversight on their path.

And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Intercession is told in Quran and Hadees and if anyone disagrees it is his wish but telling those who do are mushriks is wrong because if you are wrong then it a disaster for you as Hadees tells

Sahih Bukhari chapter 23


428
Narrated 'Uqba bin 'Amir: One day the Prophet went out and offered the funeral prayers of the martyrs of Uhud and then went up the pulpit and said, "I will pave the way for you as your predecessor and will be a witness on you. By Allah! I see my Fount (Kauthar) just now and I have been given the keys of all the treasures of the earth (or the keys of the earth). By Allah! I am not afraid that you will worship others along with Allah after my death, but I am afraid that you will fight with one another for the worldly things."


Sahih Muslim Chapter 1

It is reported on the authority of Ibn 'Umar that the Apostle (may peace and blessings be upon him) observed: When a man calls his brother an unbeliever, it returns (at least) to one of them.

It is reported on the authority of Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings be upon him) said: Any person who called his brother: or unbeliever (has in fact done an act by which this unbelief) would return to one of them. If it were so, as he asserted (then the unbelief of man was confirmed but if it was not true), then it returned to him (to the man who labeled it on his brother Muslim).

OH Bhai PAkistani 1947 no one is denying that Allah is one and only He is the Noor Us Samawati Wal Arz

Let me make you a point by giving you examples from our daily life

When you refer to somebody's property or land what do you say “Iss property ka malik kon he” so does that means you are making Shirk with Allah Subha Na Wa Tallah. Because Haqiqi Malik to bas wohh Khuda -e- Zul Jalal he Hei.?
And another question do you own any thing like a car/house/TV/computer, and do you call your self owner of all these things? IF you answer is yes then according to you, you are making a Shirk because you can't be the owner of all those things it is Allah Subha Na Wa Tala who is the Owner. Then where do you fit in the picture??? I bet you won't even let a trespasser touch your money that you own??? or is it your money because by doing that are you making Shirk with Allah?? or are you making Shirk??

Know another question about asking for help from other than Allah?
Do you go to Doctor? and ask him for help so that you may get better? and again by doing so do you creat shirk?
do you go to your teacher and ask him help because you are stuck on a problem that you can't solve?
does a child cry for mother when he/she is hungry?
Do people go to police and ask them for help when you are robed?


Know completing my point, acording to your understading of Quran a person shouldn't call anyone for help, they can't be called owner of anything that Allah Subhana Wa Talah has blessed them with, because what you are doing is completly ignoring some parts of Quran and Sunnah and concenterating on others to prove your point.

Democracy is latest form of Shirk which has global impact.


One of the basic rules of Monotheist is that Sovereignty belongs to Allah means Allah has the right to declare what is permissible or not. Whereas Democracy says Sovereignty belongs to Humans. Humans with majority vote can decided permissible or not.

Due to its global impact the most perfect and strict monotheist cannot refrain from indirect effect of this Shirk. To be a complete Monotheist we have to give Sovereignty back to Allah.

Calling Owlia Allah!


This man first tell that worship is only to Allah which is right but then he tell that no intercession also on qiyamat but Hadees tell something else. He is interprting Ayat wrong and mixing intercession with worship. Worship is only to Allah.

Sahih Bukhari chapter 93

532s

Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri: We said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" He said, "Do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun and the moon when the sky is clear?" We said, "No." He said, "So you will have no difficulty in seeing your Lord on that Day as you have no difficulty in seeing the sun and the moon (in a clear sky)." The Prophet then said, "Somebody will then announce, 'Let every nation follow what they used to worship.' So the companions of the cross will go with their cross, and the idolators (will go) with their idols, and the companions of every god (false deities) (will go) with their god, till there remain those who used to worship Allah, both the obedient ones and the mischievous ones, and some of the people of the Scripture. Then Hell will be presented to them as if it were a mirage. Then it will be said to the Jews, "What did you use to worship?' They will reply, 'We used to worship Ezra, the son of Allah.' It will be said to them, 'You are liars, for Allah has neither a wife nor a son. What do you want (now)?' They will reply, 'We want You to provide us with water.' Then it will be said to them 'Drink,' and they will fall down in Hell (instead). Then it will be said to the Christians, 'What did you use to worship?' They will reply, 'We used to worship Messiah, the son of Allah.' It will be said, 'You are liars, for Allah has neither a wife nor a son. What: do you want (now)?' They will say, 'We want You to provide us with water.' It will be said to them, 'Drink,' and they will fall down in Hell (instead). When there remain only those who used to worship Allah (Alone), both the obedient ones and the mischievous ones, it will be said to them, 'What keeps you here when all the people have gone?' They will say, 'We parted with them (in the world) when we were in greater need of them than we are today, we heard the call of one proclaiming, 'Let every nation follow what they used to worship,' and now we are waiting for our Lord.' Then the Almighty will come to them in a shape other than the one which they saw the first time, and He will say, 'I am your Lord,' and they will say, 'You are not our Lord.' And none will speak: to Him then but the Prophets, and then it will be said to them, 'Do you know any sign by which you can recognize Him?' They will say. 'The Shin,' and so Allah will then uncover His Shin whereupon every believer will prostrate before Him and there will remain those who used to prostrate before Him just for showing off and for gaining good reputation. These people will try to prostrate but their backs will be rigid like one piece of a wood (and they will not be able to prostrate). Then the bridge will be laid across Hell." We, the companions of the Prophet said, "O Allah's Apostle! What is the bridge?' He said, "It is a slippery (bridge) on which there are clamps and (Hooks like) a thorny seed that is wide at one side and narrow at the other and has thorns with bent ends. Such a thorny seed is found in Najd and is called As-Sa'dan. Some of the believers will cross the bridge as quickly as the wink of an eye, some others as quick as lightning, a strong wind, fast horses or she-camels. So some will be safe without any harm; some will be safe after receiving some scratches, and some will fall down into Hell (Fire). The last person will cross by being dragged (over the bridge)." The Prophet said, "You (Muslims) cannot be more pressing in claiming from me a right that has been clearly proved to be yours than the believers in interceding with Almighty for their (Muslim) brothers on that Day, when they see themselves safe. They will say, 'O Allah! (Save) our brothers (for they) used to pray with us, fast with us and also do good deeds with us.' Allah will say, 'Go and take out (of Hell) anyone in whose heart you find faith equal to the weight of one (gold) Dinar.' Allah will forbid the Fire to burn the faces of those sinners. They will go to them and find some of them in Hell (Fire) up to their feet, and some up to the middle of their legs. So they will take out those whom they will recognize and then they will return, and Allah will say (to them), 'Go and take out (of Hell) anyone in whose heart you find faith equal to the weight of one half Dinar.' They will take out whomever they will recognize and return, and then Allah will say, 'Go and take out (of Hell) anyone in whose heart you find faith equal to the weight of an atom (or a smallest ant), and so they will take out all those whom they will recognize." Abu Sa'id said: If you do not believe me then read the Holy Verse:-- 'Surely! Allah wrongs not even of the weight of an atom (or a smallest ant) but if there is any good (done) He doubles it.' (4.40) The Prophet added, "Then the prophets and Angels and the believers will intercede, and (last of all) the Almighty (Allah) will say, 'Now remains My Intercession. He will then hold a handful of the Fire from which He will take out some people whose bodies have been burnt, and they will be thrown into a river at the entrance of Paradise, called the water of life. They will grow on its banks, as a seed carried by the torrent grows. You have noticed how it grows beside a rock or beside a tree, and how the side facing the sun is usually green while the side facing the shade is white. Those people will come out (of the River of Life) like pearls, and they will have (golden) necklaces, and then they will enter Paradise whereupon the people of Paradise will say, 'These are the people emancipated by the Beneficent. He has admitted them into Paradise without them having done any good deeds and without sending forth any good (for themselves).' Then it will be said to them, 'For you is what you have seen and its equivalent as well.'"

Dear Cheeko Bhai,

With due respect most of your responses are in support of "
intercession" (شفاعت). This is separate topic which may be discussed later.

Correct me please if I am wrong, are you trying to say that it does not matter whatever "SHIRK" a person can do, he/she will get
"intercession" (شفاعت) on the day of judgment either by Saints or Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)?

Futhermore, I am quoting verses of Quraan clearly indicating what SHIRK is and in response you are filling pages with human written materials....

I do believe in authentic Hadeeths, I will appreciate it very much if you could please restrict yourself quoting Hadeeths from Sihah Sittah only.

My request to you please be focused to the topic "What is SHIRK" not
"intercession" (شفاعت).

Thanks for you participation. May Allah give all of us hidayat (Aameen).
