Erasing the Accusation of Shirk

change this topic completely as I am offering you help on a plate though you
are rejecting it!
Qadhi: It seems to me that you are bored of the topic ‘asking help from other
than Allah’ and that is the reason why you are beginning the new topic.
There is a lot of confusion concerning Wasila and Insha’Allah with the help
of Allah I will clarify your objections and explain its reality. However, you
will have to be patient with me whilst I explain this. Also I will answer your
