. Another example: A young Muslim may be very stressed and wants to drown his sorrows by drinking alcohol and taking drugs. When the young man is asked why he is committing this unlawful act he will say he is drowning his sorrows to receive piece of mind. To achieve peace of mind in Islam is permissible, but to do it through drink and drugs is completely unlawful. So again you cannot justify something bad by using a permissible act. Equally, the polytheists would justify their bad idol worshipping by saying that being close to Allah is permissible, and they were using the idols to get closer to Allah, as a means of wasila which is a good and permissible act. But as you know, you cannot justify a bad act by using the excuse of achieving something good. By worshipping idols you can never be close to Allah, although by using the Prophets and pious as a wasila you wil succeed in being close to Allah. Even if the polytheists of Makkah used their idols as wasila (in a different manner to Muslims), or if they worshipped their idols, neither of these will bring you close to Allah. Not only can you attain closeness to Allah through the wasila of the Prophets and pious, but also through sittting in their company, learning from them and following them. OUR EXPLANATION OF WASILA The manner in which we use the Prophets and pious as wasila is by using their righteousness. They have carried out so many good deeds and are very blessed, so we use their righteousness as a wasila. We have much love for them and even loving them is a good deed! Ali: What are you saying? How can their righteousness benefit you? How can you make wasila using their righteousness-their good deeds? Their good deeds will only benefit themselves, not you. My shaykh informed me that you would sooner or later make such absurd claims that you can use the good deeds of the Prophets and pious as a wasila. For this reason he told me to show you this in contradiction to the following verses of the Qur’an: 002.141 Those are a people who have passed away; theirs is that which they earned and yours that which ye earn. And ye will not be asked of what they used to do. 160
053.038 That no laden one shall bear another's load, 053.039 And that man hath only that for which he maketh effort, In these verses, Allah Almighty tells us that what people earn is theirs and what we earn is ours: there is no ‘wasila for their righteousness’! Qadi: Let me deal with both verses you presented individually. Firstly, when you presented 002:141 you did not bother to look at the verses before and after it. If you did, you would have actually been able to understand the correct meaning of this verse. This is a habbit of you and your shaykh. Look carefully below at the verses before and after 002:141, as Allah Almighty says in the Qur’an: 002.139 Say (unto the People of the Scripture): Dispute ye with us concerning Allah when He is our Lord and your Lord? Ours are our works and yours your works. We look to Him alone. 002.140 Or say ye that Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes were Jews or Christians? Say: Do ye know best, or doth Allah? And who is more unjust than he who hideth a testimony which he hath received from Allah? Allah is not unaware of what ye do. After reading these verses you should understand that 002:149 and the verses around it are directed at the Jews and Christians of Madina. Allah Almighty is telling them that they will not be able to benefit from the previous Prophets ‘Ours are our work and yours is your work’ because they believed in Sayydina Abraham, Ishmael, Issac and Jacob (m ay Allah be pleased with them) but failed to believe in the Prophet Muhammad ( may Allah bless him and grant him peace) as the final successor to the Prophets and the final Messenger of Allah. ‘And who is more unjust than he who hideth a testimony which he hath received from Allah?’ It is for this reason that the previous Prophet’s good deeds and piety will not be able to benefit them, even though they believed in their prophecy. At the same time, this verse implies that the previous Prophets will be able to benefit those who believe in the Prophet Muhammad ( may Allah bless him and grant him peace) and accept him as the final Messenger of Allah. Again, your shaykh has succeeded in his habbit of placing the verses of the kafir upon the Muslims 161
