To Seek the Wasila of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W)

To Seek the Wasila of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W)
1. Some persons believe that it is not permissible to seek a Wasila
(mediation) when making Du'a to Allah Ta'ala. They say that you should
make Du'a directly to Almighty Allah.
2. The Aqeeda of the Ahle Sunnah wal Jama'at is that to seek the
mediation of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is permissible
or allowed by the Shari'ah.
3. The following verse proves that one can seek a Wasila when
approaching Allah Ta'ala. Allah Ta'ala states in the Holy Quran : "O
ye who believe! Fear Allah and search for a Wasila (mediation) towards
Him and strive in His path on that hope that you will gain refuge."
(Part 6, Ruku 10)
4. The following verse proves that one can seek a Wasila by
approaching the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Allah
Ta'ala states in the Holy Quran: "And if when they do injustice unto
their souls, then O Beloved! They should come to you and then beg
forgiveness from Allah, and the Messenger should intercede for them,
then surely, they wouldfind Allah most Relenting, Merciful." (Part 5,
Ruku 7)
5. Hazrat Abdullah ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) states that when the
Jews wished to gain victory over their enemies they would make this
Du'a: "O Allah!We ask to you through the mediation of the unlettered
Prophet thatYou may grant us victory over those Polytheists." (Tafseer
Durre Manthur)
6. Hazrat Imam ibn Jureer Tibri (radi Allahu anhu) writes that the
Jews also made this Du'a : "O Allah! Send down that aProphet who will
make justice between us and the people and those people used to gain
victory and help against the others through his mediation." (Tafseer
ibn Jareer)
7. Hadrat Uthman bin Haniff (radi Allahu anhu) says that a blind man
came to the court of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)
and said , "O Messenger of Allah! Pray for me that I may regain my
sight." The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said ,"Go and
perform ablution and read two Raka'ats of Nafil Salaah and read this
Du'a: 'O Allah! Verily I ask of Youand towards You I use the mediation
of Nabi-e-Rahmat, Muhammad Mustapha (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). O
Muhammad! Verily I turn through your Wasila to Your Creator for my
needs so that myneeds may be fulfilled. O Allah, accept the
intercession of Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) for me". (Ibn
Maja; Shifa Shareef)
8. With regards to this Hadith Shareef about the blind man being asked
to make Du'a with the Wasila of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam) , Hazrat Allama Abdul Ghani Delhwi (radi Allahu anhu) says,
"It proves the permissibility of mediation and that of the Prophet's
(sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) intercession. This command is that
duringhis life, but also after his demise." (Misbahus Zijaja Bar
Hashia ibn Maja) Thus, one is allowed to seek the Wasila of the Holy
Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) even after his demise.
9. When Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam) ate from the forbidden tree, he
made Du'a to Allah Ta'ala through themediation of the Holy Prophet
(sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in this way: "O Allah! Forgive me with
the Wasila of Muhammad Mustapha (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)."
(Tibraani; Muwahibul Ladaniyah)
10. The Ambiya are Wasilas (mediators) for their Ummah in every form
and the Wasila of the Ambiya is the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal
laahu alaihi wasallam). Hence, the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam) is the Wasila of all mediations, even the Wasila for Hadrat
Adam (alaihis salaam). (Tafseer Saadi)
11. Hazrat Aisha Siddiqa (radi Allahu anha) saysthat the Holy Prophet
(sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said, "O Allah! Grant Islam respect
through Umar ibn Khatab." (Ibn Majah)
12. The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said :"Abdaals
will be in Syria. They are forty men. When one of them passes away,
then Allah Ta'ala puts another in his place. Through their blessings
it rains. Through them victory is gained over enemies and through
their blessings punishment is moved away from the people of Syria."
(Mishkaat; Ash'atul Lam'aat)
13. Hazrat Umar Farouk (radi Allahu anhu) senttroops towards Kasra and
he made Hazrat Sa'ad bin Ka'ab Waqqas (radi Allahu anhu) the commander
of the troop. Hazrat Khalid bin Walid (radi Allahu anhu) was the chief
commanding officer. When they came close to the Dajla, there were no
ships or boats to cross the river. Hazrat Khalid bin Walid (radi
Allahu anhu) and Hadrat Sa'ad bin Ka'ab (radi Allahu anhu) went
forward and spoke to the river, saying: "O River! You are flowing
through the Command of Almighty Allah. Thus, we are giving you the
Wasila of the justice ofRasool (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and the
Khalifa of Rasool (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), Hazrat Umar Farouk
(radi Allahu anhu). Do not become a stoppage between us and our
crossing." Suddenly, the river gave way. Then the troops crossed the
river with their horses and camels. They reached the other side of the
land in such a manner that their (horses and camels) hooves did not
even get wet. (Ar Riyaadhun Nadhra)
14. In the above narrations one sees that the Sahaba-Ikraam used
various forms of mediation as solutions to their problems.
15. Hazrat Abdul Haq Muhadith Delhwi (radi Allahu anhu) writes the
following: "According to the Ijmaof the Ulema, to use the Wasila of
the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) to gain assistance
both with verbally or physically is said to be confirmed to be
desirable." (Jazbul Quloob)

Knowledge of Unseen

Some people do not accept that the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) has
been blessed by Allah (S.W.T) with Ilm-e -Ghayb (Knowledge of the
Unseen).
The Ahle Sunnah Wal Jamaat believes that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) ,
afterbeing informed by Allah (S.W.T) , is aware of everything that
happened and will happen. "Ghayb" is that hidden thing which cannot be
perceived by human senses nor can be known through human wisdom.
The Holy Quran has mentioned at various places that Allah (S.W.T) has
granted the Knowledge of Unseen to His exalted Prophets. (See Surah
Baqarah Part 1, Ayah 31; Surah Baqarah Part 1, Ayah 251; Surah Naml
Part 19, Ayah 16; Surah Ambiya Part 17, Ayah 74; Surah Yusuf Part 12,
Ayah 68; Surah Yusuf Part 12, Ayah 96; Surah Qasas Part 20, Ayah14)
The fact that Allah (S.W.T) has granted Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) the
Knowledge of Unseen, can be explained in three dimensions:
1) Firstly, he was given the Knowledge of the Unseen directly: (Surah
Hud Part 12, Ayah 49) "These are the news of the unseen, We (Allah)
reveal to you. Neither you did know it before, nor your people. Have
patience. Surely, there is good end for thepious." (This is also
referred toin Surah Yusuf Part 12 Ayah102 and Surah Tukweer Part 30,
Ayah24) .
2) He was given the Quran, which is the treasure house of the
Knowledge of the Unseen : "O people of the Book surely, Our (Allah's)
this Rasool (Messenger Muhammad (S.A.W) ) has come to you who makes
clear to you much of what you had hidden about the Book and he pardons
you much. Surely there has come to you from Allah aNoor (light of
enlightenment) and a very clear book"
(Surah Maidah Part 6, Ayah 15; See Also Surah Nahl Part 14, Ayah89;
SurahYusuf Part 12, Ayah 111;Surah Al -Inaam Part 7 Ayah 38; Surah
Naml Part 19, Ayah 75)
3) He was sent as a witness. A witness can only be that person who is
present at the place and time of happening and sees everything by
himself. "Surely, We (Allah) have sent you as a Witness and a Bearer
of good news and a Warner." (Surah Fath Part 26, Ayah 8; Surah Nisa
Part 5, Ayah 41)
These verses prove that Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) will stand witness on
the Day of Judgement. He will not only bear witness for his own Ummah
but also forthe Ummah of other Prophets.
And, finally, what can be hidden from the person who could see Allah
(S.W.T) ! The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) says: "I saw Allah the Almighty.
Allah (S.W.T) put His Hand at my back and I felt it's coolness in my
chest. That very moment, everything became known to Me and I
recognised everything." (Tirmidi; Mishkat)
From the evidence above, it is quite clear that our Beloved Prophet
(S.A.W) has been bestowed with the knowledge of Unseen.
Within a period of approximately 1500 years, from the time it was
proclaimed by Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) , Islam has encountered an
infinite amount of tribulations. In spite of these scathingattacks
against our beloved Deen, never once was it tarnished or disrupted
because, Alhamdulillah, it is Allah (S.W.T) Himself who is the
Protector and Helper of it. He (S.W.T) states in the Holy Quran;
"Surely, We (Allah) have revealed this remembrance (Quran) and We
(Allah) are surely its guardian". (Surah Hajr, V9)
Mischief varying in nature, e.g. the fitna of Yazeed, the scourge of
Hajjaj ibn Yusuf, the deception of the Khaarijees etc., had previously
unsuccessfullytried to demolish the foundations of Islam, butthe most
formidable fitna this Deen had yet to face was the Wahabism of Najdis.
It is stated in a Hadith that our Beloved Prophet (S.A.W) has said,"In
the period prior to the Day of Judgement, false and deceitful groups
will emerge. They will say things to you, which neither you nor your
forefathers willhave heard before. Stay away from these deceitful
people and do not let them come near you! Do not be misguided by them
and do not let them cause strife amongst you!"
(Muslim Sharif)
The beliefs and practicesof Ahle Sunnah wal Jamaat are questioned by
other sects to be unauthentic and the seed of doubt is placed in the
minds of Muslims to encourage them to divert allegiance.
In this blessed month of Ramadan, Janathi Message aims to clearly
outline with evidence, what the Aqaid and practices of Ahle Sunnah wal
Jamaat are; from Shirk and Tauheed to proclaiming Ya Rasoolallah
(S.A.W) , from celebrating Milaad-un-Nabi (S.A.W) to reading Darood
Shareef before and after Azaan.
We intend to make you aware of some of the main deviated sects that
are present in our time and what beliefs they hold. We will clearly
highlight and expose theblasphemous beliefs held by these misguided
sects.
The biggest threat to Islam these days is from the Wahhaabi, Deobandi,
Tablighi and Salafi sects. This threat to an average Muslim is not
obvious at all. These days they want to call themselves Sunnis to
deceive innocent Muslims.
The physical appearanceof these renegades may deceive one as they
decorate their deceitful faces with the Sunnah ofthe beard and perform
compulsory acts such as Salaat, in a most convincing manner. However,
their corrupt beliefs prove that they have no love for the Beloved
Prophet (S.A.W) .
Other deviant sects such as the Shia's and Qadiani's have also
continued to propagate their deviant idiologies which have no Islamic
base. From blasphemous statements against Sahaba e Iqraam (R.A) , to
believe the existence of another Prophet are proven to contradict true
Aqaid.
Our purpose in preparing these topics isto present the truth based on
authentic evidence. We don't wantto expose the differences with view
to cause segregation in theUmmah, but rather to invite all to the true
teachings of Islam with aim of following the correct Aqaid and
practices of our beautiful Deen.

Holy Prophet (S.A.W) hears from Both Near and Afar

Some people whose Aqeeda is that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) cannot hear
anything from a distance. They say that He (S.A.W) only hears the
voices of his Ummah who are in Madinah tul Munawwarah and that He
(S.A.W) can only hear the Darood Shareef that is recited there. They
saythat if a person believes that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) can hear
from bothnear and far, then he is committing Shirk or Polytheism (i.e.
associating partners with Allah (S.W.T) ).
Below are a few of manyexamples, to highlight that those people who
have belief like the ones mentioned above, are completely wrong in
their thinking.
Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (S.A.W) was making Wudu for Tahajjud Salaah at
the home of Hazrat Maimuna (R.A) . He (S.A.W) suddenly called out
three times, "Labbaik, Labbaik, Labbaik!" (Here I am) and "Nusirtu,
Nusirtu, Nusirtu!" (I helped you). After sayingthis, He (S.A.W)
remained where He was and did not leave that place.
Hazrat Maimuna (R.A) further said: "When the Prophet (S.A.W) completed
His Wudu, I asked Him why He had called out those words". He (S.A.W)
replied: "Raajiz was calling me".
What actually happened was that the Quraish wanted to kill Hazrat Umar
bin Saalim Raajiz (R.A) as he was on the road leading to Madinatul
Munawwarah.He (R.A) called out: "O Nabi (S.A.W) ! Help me or else the
enemies will kill me!" Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (S.A.W) responded to his
call from home and saved him from death. (Baihaqi; Tibrani)
This Hadith Shareef proves four points:
(A) Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (S.A.W) is observing his Ummah.
(B) It is Ja'iz (Permissible)to call the Prophet (S.A.W) for help.
(C) Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (S.A.W) can hear the call of his Ummah.
(D) Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (S.A.W) can help those in distress,
regardless of distance.
While addressing the Sahaba (R.A) , Rasoolullah (S.A.W) proclaimed:
"What I see you cannot see, andwhat I hear you cannot hear." (Tirmidhi
Shareef)
In another Hadith it states that when a person recites Darood Shareef,
an Angel takes it and presents it before Almighty Allah. Allah
Almighty says, "Take it tothe Mazaar of my Beloved servant, Muhammad
(S.A.W) so that he may make Du'a-e-Bakhshish for the personwho sent
the Darood and he may gain coolness in his eyes".
From this Hadith Shareefit is obvious that the Darood Shareef is first
taken to Allah (S.W.T) , and then presented in the court of the Holy
Prophet (S.A.W) .
Some people argue that if the Prophet (S.A.W) hears the Darood, then
what need is there for the Angels to present it to Him?
This argument is baseless, as it is not only contradicting the power
of hearing of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) , but it is also contradicting
the power of Hearing of Allah (S.W.T) as well, since the Darood
Shareef is first presented in the Court of Allah (S.W.T) . Doesthis
Ma'az-Allah mean that Allah (S.W.T) cannot hear from near and afar?
