001.002 All praise is due to Allah, <strong>the</strong> Lord <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Worlds.<br />

SubhanAllah…However, when Allah wanted to fulfill <strong>the</strong> desire <strong>of</strong> His<br />

beloved Rasulullah ( may Allah bless him and grant him peace) it was in<br />

order to please His Mssenger (may Allah bless him and grant him peace).<br />

From this we learn that Allah Azawajal wants to see Hs beloved Rasuullah<br />

(may Allah bless him and grant him peace) pleased and Allah Azawajal will<br />

continue bestowing His blessings upon Rasuullah (may Allah bless him and<br />

grant him peace) until he is pleased. So in future when you do recite, It is no<br />

concern at all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>e (Muhammad), do not forget to recite all <strong>the</strong> verses I<br />

have just mentioned, <strong>the</strong>y all interlink!<br />

<br />

039.003 Surely pure religion is for Allah only. And those who choose<br />

protecting friends beside Him (say): We worship <strong>the</strong>m only that <strong>the</strong>y<br />

may bring us near unto Allah. Lo! Allah will judge between <strong>the</strong>m<br />

concerning that wherein <strong>the</strong>y differ. Lo! Allah guideth not him who is<br />

a liar, an ingrate.<br />

This verse was used by you as your second objection against wasila. You<br />

think that because <strong>the</strong> poly<strong>the</strong>ists <strong>of</strong> Makkah used <strong>the</strong>ir idols as<br />

intermediaries between Allah and mankind, <strong>the</strong> Ahl al-Sunna Wa al-Jama’a<br />

are following <strong>the</strong> same practice as <strong>the</strong> poly<strong>the</strong>ists <strong>of</strong> Makkah by using <strong>the</strong><br />

Prophet’s and pious as intermediaries between Allah and mankind.<br />

Firstly, <strong>the</strong> poly<strong>the</strong>ists <strong>of</strong> Makkah used to worship <strong>the</strong>ir idols, and we most<br />

definitely do not worship <strong>the</strong> Prophets and pious. Their ‘idols’ have been<br />

cursed and have been said to be <strong>the</strong> fuel <strong>of</strong> hell fire by Allah. In<br />

contradistinction, <strong>the</strong> Prophets and pious have been praised, have been<br />

promised <strong>the</strong> highest ranks in paradise and have been said to be<br />

intermediaries, as Allah Almighty says in <strong>the</strong> Qur’an:<br />

010.062 Lo! verily <strong>the</strong> friends <strong>of</strong> Allah are (those) on whom fear (cometh)<br />

not, nor do <strong>the</strong>y grieve ?<br />

010.063 Those who believe and keep <strong>the</strong>ir duty (to Allah).<br />

010.064 Theirs are good tidings in <strong>the</strong> life <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world and in <strong>the</strong><br />

Hereafter - There is no changing <strong>the</strong> Words <strong>of</strong> Allah - that is <strong>the</strong> Supreme<br />

Triumph.<br />

In <strong>the</strong>se verses <strong>the</strong> friends <strong>of</strong> Allah have been praised, whereas <strong>the</strong> idols<br />

have been cursed in many places in <strong>the</strong> Qur’an.<br />
