012.100 And he placed his parents on the dais and they fell down before him prostrate, and he said: O my father! This is the interpretation of my dream of old. My Lord hath made it true, and He hath shown me kindness, since He took me out of the prison and hath brought you from the desert after Iblis had made strife between me and my brethren. Lo! my Lord is tender unto whom He will. He is the Knower, the Wise. In these two verses, this form of prostration was not worship, but was prostration in the form of respect. If it was in the form of worship why did Allah Almighty ask His angels to commit polytheism? Is Sayyidina Yaqub (peace be upon him) committing polytheism by prostrating to his son and is Sayyidina Yusuf ( peace be upon him) also committing polytheism by accepting the prostration from his father? Your Shaykh’s second claim that the Ahl al-Sunna Wa-al Jama’a sacrifice and make vows in the name of the deceased pious has two answers. Before I answer, I would like to remind you of the following verse which mentions those who make false accusations and who are liars: 018.005 (A thing) whereof they have no knowledge, nor (had) their fathers, Dreadful is the word that cometh out of their mouths. They speak naught but a lie. No Muslim would even think of taking a vow or making a sacrifice in other than Allah’s name. This does not happen anywhere. To do anything like that is polytheism. Now to proceed to explain the reality of these accusations: At the graves of many pious Muslims, there are Madrassas (Islamic semminaries) that mostly accommodate poor and orphaned children. These seminaries give the children an opportunity to receive an Islamic education. In addition to the seminary, there is usually a public building near the graves of the pious which provides accommodation for travelers who have come from afar to visit the grave. The only vows that take place are in the name of Allah Almighty alone. Many a time people make a vow with Allah that they will slaughter an animal and distribute the meat to the poor children in the seminary near such and such pious person’s grave. The vow is made with Allah. When sacrificing the animal it is in the name of Allah and when distributing the food it is in the name of Allah, the only way the name of a pious could be mentioned in a vow is if one was to specify the seminary they are going to distribute the food in. 142
A clear example could be ‘Oh Allah. Due to the month of Ramadan, I am deeply thankful for all that you have blessed me with; my child has been ill for some time and if you cure him I vow that I will take dates, milk and food into the Mosque and ensure that everyone opens their fast with what I have brought. Please accept this.’ It is not only the madrassa where one may want to distribute meat or anything else, it may also be the accommodation building built near the graves for travelers. There is great reward for generosity towards travelers. Everyday during the month of Ramadan people bring food to the Mosque. They also bring food for holy events in the Mosuqe such as Laylatul Qadr. Is this all polytheism? Do not think that all that I have explained to you is my personal opinion, rather, this has all been mentioned in the books of the Ahl al-Sunna such as Mabsut by al-Sarkhasi, al-Hidayah by Marghinani, Fath al-Qadhir by Ibn al Humam, Fatawa ‘Alam Ghiri by a group of Ulema mainly Mulla Nadam-u-Din, Shami by ‘Allama Shami, Fatawa Radviya by Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Qadri, Sharh Sahih Muslim by Allamah Sai’di chapter on vows. Ali: Brother Qadhi. I have presented you countless verses and have explained myself to the best of my ability but I can see that you do not understand what is being said. Now I will present you a verse from the Qur’an that is crystal clear, explaining that the dead have no power to profit or harm anyone in any way, as Allah Azawajal says in the Qur’an: 010.049 Say: "I have no power over any harm or profit to myself except as Allah willeth. To every people is a term appointed: when their term is reached, not an hour can they cause delay, nor (an hour) can they advance (it in anticipation)." From this verse we learn that only Allah Azawajal can profit or hurt us! The deceased Prophets and pious cannot profit or hurt us in any way! Even Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) could not profit or hurt the Muslims, Everything happens with the help of Allah alone, nothing can profit or hurt themselves or anyone else, only Allah is capable of this and only Allah can enable others to do this. Qadhi: The verse you presented means that no one can profit or harm with their own power and will; it is Allah who grants the power to anyone or anything to hurt or profit. Though Allah does hurt and profit through the 143
