intercession, so should you seek it from them? If you say that, then<br />

you have reverted to the worship <strong>of</strong> the pious that Allah has<br />

mentioned in His Book. If you say no [one should not seek<br />

intercession directly from them], then you have voided your own<br />

argument that Allah has given him [the Prophet (peace <strong>and</strong><br />

blessings <strong>of</strong> Allah be upon him)] intercession <strong>and</strong> I seek it from the<br />

one whom Allah has given it to. 1<br />

In his book Masaail al-Jaahiliyyah, ibn Abdul-Wahhaab<br />

<strong>The</strong>y [the disbelieving polytheists] perform worship by associating<br />

the pious as partners in their prayers to Allah <strong>and</strong> His worship.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y want their intercession with Allah, thinking that Allah loves<br />

that <strong>and</strong> the pious love that. This was as Allah has said,<br />

“And they worship besides Allah things that hurt them not nor<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>it them, <strong>and</strong> they say, ‘<strong>The</strong>se are our intercessors with Allah’”<br />

(Yoonus 18). Allah also said,<br />
