worship; so incline some hearts of men that they may yearn toward them, and provide Thou them with fruits in order that they may be thankful. This was a supplication which Sayyidina Ibrahim (peace be upon him) made for his children and his children’s children and so on. As expected, this supplication (along with the supplication he made at Makkah) was accepted by Allah Most Merciful. IT IS PERMISSIBLE TO ASK SOMEONE ELSE TO MAKE SUPPLICATION ON YOUR BEHALF? 012.097 They said: O our father! Ask forgiveness of our sins for us, for lo! we were sinful. 012.098 He said: I shall ask forgiveness for you of my Lord. Lo! He is the Forgiving, the Merciful. In these verses, the sons of Sayyidina Yaqub ( peace be upon him) are requesting him to make supplication to Allah to forgive them for their sins. Sayyidina Yaqub ( peace be upon him) solemnly accepts their request and makes a supplication. This proves that asking someone more pious and humble to make supplication on your behalf is permissible. If it was not the case, then surely Sayyidina Yaqub ( peace be upon him) would not have agreed to pray for the forgiveness of his sons 002.067 And when Moses said unto his people: Lo! Allah commandeth you that ye sacrifice a cow, they said: Dost thou make game of us ? He answered: Allah forbid that I should be among the foolish! 002.068 They said: Pray for us unto thy Lord that He make clear to us what (cow) she is. (Moses) answered: Lo! He saith, Verily she is a cow neither with calf nor immature; (she is) between the two conditions; so do that which ye are commanded. 002.069 They said: Pray for us unto thy Lord that He make clear to us of what colour she is. (Moses) answered: Lo! He saith: Verily she is a yellow cow. Bright is her colour, gladdening beholders. 002.070 They said: Pray for us unto thy Lord that He make clear to us what (cow) she is. Lo! cows are much Alike to us; and Lo! if Allah wills, we may be led aright. 002.071 (Moses) answered: Lo! He saith: Verily she is a cow unyoked; she plougheth not the soil nor watereth the tilth; whole and without mark. 110
They said: Now thou bringest the truth. So they sacrificed her, though almost they did not. 007.134 And when the terror fell on them they cried: O Moses! Pray for us unto thy Lord, because He hath a covenant with thee. If thou removest the terror from us we verily will trust thee and will let the Children of Israel go with thee. We further acknowledge from the verses that I have recited, that even the nation of Sayyidina Musa ( peace be upon him) asked him to make supplication on their behalf, inquiring about the cow. Clearly, asking someone to make supplication on your behalf is not wrong as Sayyidina Musa (peace be upon him) supplicated on behalf of his people. 009.099 And of the wandering Arabs there is he who believeth in Allah and the Last Day, and taketh that which he expendeth and also the prayers of the messenger as acceptable offerings in the sight of Allah. Lo! verily it is an acceptable offering for them. Allah will bring them into His mercy. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. 009.103 Take alms of their wealth, wherewith thou mayst purify them and mayst make them grow, and pray for them. Lo! thy prayer is an assuagement for them. Allah is Hearer, Knower. These verses inform us why the Arab villagers would spend their wealth in the way of Allah. The first reason was to please Allah and secondly they longed that the prophet would pray for them, as commanded by Allah. This is additional proof that asking someone to make supplication on your behalf is permissible. Allah did not condemn this. On the contrary, He has praised it and described it as being a relief for those in distress! 004.064 We sent no messenger save that he should be obeyed by Allah's leave. And if, when they had wronged themselves, they had but come unto thee and asked forgiveness of Allah, and asked forgiveness of the messenger, they would have found Allah Forgiving, Merciful. This verse explains how Allah has commanded those that sin to request the Messenger Rasulullah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) to pray for their forgiveness, and then Allah would forgive them. It is important to note here that even though Allah can hear and accept all supplications, Allah did 111
