The commentators of the Qur’an have said that this verse discusses those Jews who used to make supplication using the Wasila of the coming Prophet, Rasulullah ( may Allah bless him and grant him peace) although when the Prophet came they denied him. 05:35 O ye who believe! Do your duty to Allah, seek the means of approach unto Him, and strive with might and main in his cause: that ye may prosper One can use Wasila in three forms, firstly, faith, which is clear in this verse ‘O ye who believe!’ Secondly the good deeds; in this verse Allah has addressed those who already possess faith and good deeds, and strive with might and main in his cause.’ Allah is commanding those who already possess faith and good deeds, to ‘seek the means of approach unto Him.’ A question that arises is what means of approach should one seek if one already has faith and good deeds? When we observe the other verses of the Qur’an this question is answered. 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 clearly explains to us what the means of approach is: the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). Some may argue that Rasulullah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) is not the means of approach being discussed in 05:35, though if it is not Rasulullah ( may Allah bless him and grant him peace) then what is this means of approach? We have also acknowledged that it cannot be faith and good deeds as these have already been mentioned separately. The following verse helps us to further understand 004:064, as Allah Almighty says in the Qur’an: 078.038 On the day when the angels and the Spirit stand arrayed, they speak not, saving him whom the Beneficent alloweth and who speaketh right. 017.079 And some part of the night awake for it, a largess for thee. It may be that thy Lord will raise thee to a praised estate. 154
In the first verse, Allah informs us that there will no intermediary between Allah Azawajal and His servants on The Day of Judgment to intercede, unless Allah allows someone to do so. And the second verse informs us clearly that on the Day of Judgment, the intermediary will be Rasulullah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) who will be standing at the praised estate. This proves that the faith and good deeds are not the only intermediaries, but also the Prophets and pious are intermediaries and Allah has commanded us to seek the Prophets and pious to approach Him. 017.057 Those unto whom they cry seek the way of approach to their Lord, which of them shall be the nearest; they hope for His mercy and they fear His doom. Lo! the doom of thy Lord is to be shunned. From this verse we learn that the polytheists of Makkah used to worship the Jinn, although those very Jinn became Muslims the polytheists of Makkah continued to worship them. Allah Azawajal tells them in the verse that I just recited that those whom they worship have already become Muslims and those Jinn hope for Allah’s mercy and fear Allah. This means that they already had faith. Hoping for Allah’s mercy and fearing Allah are both good deeds. Yet they still seek the way of approach to their Lord. If the Jinn already have faith and good deeds then what approach to their Lord are they seeking? In the following verses we learn what this approach was: 019.087 They will have no power of intercession, save him who hath made a covenant with his Lord. 021.028 He knoweth what is before them and what is behind them, and they cannot intercede except for him whom He accepteth, and they quake for awe of Him. In these verses we learn that other than faith and good deeds, the pious are also intermediaries between Allah and the believers in this world and the hereafter. “Make us die with the Righteous” 003.193 Our Lord! surely we have heard a preacher calling to the faith, saying: Believe in your Lord, so we did believe; Our Lord! forgive us 155
