Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore in this verse, once again <strong>the</strong> disbelievers were turning away<br />
from <strong>the</strong> intermediary between <strong>the</strong>mselves and Allah. Even when Rasulullah<br />
(may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said he would pray for <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
forgiveness <strong>the</strong>y still scornfully turned <strong>the</strong>ir faces.<br />
THE POLYTHEISTS OF MAKKAH AND TAI’F DID NOT BELIEVE THAT<br />
RASULULLAH (MAY ALLAH BLESS HIM AND GRANT HIM PEACE) IS IN AN<br />
INTERMEDIARY BETWEEN ALLAH AZAWAJAL AND MANKIND<br />
043.031 And <strong>the</strong>y say: If only this Qur'an had been revealed to some great<br />
man <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> two towns ?<br />
Once again, from this verse we learn that <strong>the</strong> poly<strong>the</strong>ists <strong>of</strong> Makkah and<br />
Tai’f also denied Rasulullah ( may Allah bless him and grant him peace).<br />
They failed to believe that he is an intermediary between Allah Azawajal<br />
and mankind.<br />
OBJECTIONS TO WASILA<br />
<br />
003.128 It is no concern at all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>e (Muhammad) whe<strong>the</strong>r He<br />
relent toward <strong>the</strong>m or punish <strong>the</strong>m; for <strong>the</strong>y are evil-doers.<br />
Bro<strong>the</strong>r Ali, <strong>the</strong> verse you have presented has nothing to do with wasila and<br />
nor does it even contain <strong>the</strong> word. The actual meaning <strong>of</strong> this verse It is no<br />
concern at all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>e (Muhammad) , means that when Allah Azawajal<br />
makes a decision, no-one can influence His decision unless He chooses for<br />
<strong>the</strong>m to do so. The Prophets, <strong>the</strong> angels or mankind have no influence in His<br />
decision: it is Allah Almighty’s decision, indeed He is <strong>the</strong> Lord <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
worlds and all decisions are made by Him. For example, when Allah Most<br />
Powerful created this universe, it did not concern anybody else o<strong>the</strong>r than<br />
Allah, about how or when to make this universe etc. But Allah is very<br />
Merciful upon His beloved Prophets and pious, so sometimes when He<br />
makes decisions He makes <strong>the</strong>m according to <strong>the</strong> desires <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Prophets and<br />
pious. This does not mean that <strong>the</strong> Prophets and pious forcefully influence<br />
Allah’s decisions (I seek shelter in Allah!) though it does mean that Allah in<br />
His infinite Mercy accepts <strong>the</strong> desires <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Prophets and pious and fulfils<br />
<strong>the</strong>m, as Allah Almighty says in <strong>the</strong> Qur’an:<br />
