Erasing the Accusation of Shirk

therefore our faults, and cover our evil deeds and make us die with the
righteous.
In this verse Allah Almighty praises those who want to die with the
righteous. Isn’t it interesting that Muslims would want to die with the
Righteous? The reason why they wish to do this is that they understand with
the wasila of the righteous their journey after death will not only be easier,
but the company of the righteous will also help them to become closer to
Allah.
May Allah forgive us with the wasila of the Righteous and I pray that we all
die with the Righteous. Amin.
“Through the Prophets”
003.194 Our Lord! Grant us what Thou didst promise unto us through
Thine messengers, and save us from shame on the Day of Judgment: For
Thou never breakest Thy promise."
In this verse the Muslims are making supplication to Allah asking that Allah
Almighty fulfills the promise He made through the Messengers. Muslims
could easily ask Allah Almighty directly to fulfil the promise He made, but
because Allah made the promise through the Prophets, Muslims are now
asking Allah to fulfil the same promise through the Prophets. The reason
they are using the Prophet’s name is because they know that the promise was
made through the wasila of the Prophets and it will be fulfilled through the
wasila of the Prophets.
“Join me to the Righteous”
012.101 O my Lord! Thou hast given me (something) of sovereignty and hast
taught me (something) of the interpretation of events - Creator of the
heavens and the earth! Thou art my Protecting Guardian in the world and
the Hereafter. Make me to die muslim (unto Thee), and join me to the
righteous.
Sayyidina Yusuf ( peace be upon him) was a great Prophet of Allah and
even he would pray that Allah Almighty join him witht the righteous. One
