ALLAH K WALYON SE MADAD MANGNA Quran states: (Sulayman) said:“O court members, which one of you can bring me her throne before they come humbled in my presence? An extremely strong jinn said, “I will bring it in your presence before you disperse the assembly; and I am indeed strong and trustworthy upon it.” Said one who had knowledge of the Book, “I will bring it in your majesty’s presence WITHIN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE” then when he saw it set in his presence*, Sulaiman said, “This is of the favours of my Lord; so that He may test me whether I give thanks or am ungrateful; and whoever gives thanks only gives thanks for his own good; and whoever is ungrateful –then indeed my Lord is the Independent (Not Needing Anything), the Owner Of All Praise.” (A miracle which occurred through one of Allah’s friends) [Surah an-Naml (27:38-40)] (27:40) These Quranic verses prove that Solomon (AS) asked for help from his assembly of Jinn and Men then a man (saint called Asif) who had knowledge of the book brought it in “BLINK OF AN EYE”. We all know that throne of Queen Balkees was thousands of miles away, so how did that man bring it in blink of an eye? And why did Solomon ask his subordinates and not Allah? The simple answer to this is that it all happened with the will of Allah and Istighatha with this firm belief is perfectly allowed whether we are asking someone alive or a pious personality who has passed away . Quran states: When Allah will say, “O Eisa, the son of Maryam! Remember My favour upon you and your mother; when I supported you with the Holy Spirit; you were speaking to people from the cradle and in maturity; and when I taught you the Book and wisdom and the Taurat and the Injeel; and when you used to mould a bird-like sculpture from clay, by My command, and blow into it –so it (the living bird) used to fly by My command, and you used to cure him who was born blind and cure the leper, by My command; AND WHEN YOU USED TO RAISE UP THE DEAD, BY MY COMMAND and when I restrained the Descendants of Israel against you when you came to them with clear proofs, and the disbelievers among them said, ‘This is nothing but clear magic’ [(Surah al-Ma’idah (5:110)] It is our firm belief that Only Allah brings back from dead, It is our firm belief that only Allah cures the lepers, It is our firm belief that only Allah blows life into bodies, so why has Allah made these as Granted qualities of Jesus (AS) too? The simple answer is given in verse itself i.e. all of this happens with the Will of Allahhence Istighatha (help) from Prophets and Awliya is not their personal power but in reality power of Allah. With this belief seeking their help could never be Shirk rather this is highest stage of Irfan (deep knowledge). 4. Quran also states: If only they had been content with what Allah and His Messenger gave them,and had said, Sufficient unto us is Allah! Allah and His Messenger will soon give us of His bounty: to Allah do we turn our hopes! (that would have been the right course).(9:59) 5. Quran states at another place: If ye two turn in repentance to Him, your hearts are indeed so inclined; But if ye back up each other against him, truly God is his Protector, “AND GIBRIEL, AND (EVERY) RIGHTEOUS ONE” among those who believe,- and furthermore, the angels - will back (him) up.(66:4) Here Allah has Himself applied the word “MAWLA (PROTECTOR)” with Himself, also Gibriel and other believers. 6. Quran states: But when Jesus became conscious of their disbelief, he cried: Who will be “MY HELPERS” in the cause of Allah? The disciples said: We will be Allahs helpers. We believe in Allah, and bear thou witness that we have surrendered (unto Him).(Yusuf Ali, 3:52) After reading this verse we would like you to scroll up and read the point (c) which was mentioned in reference to Surah Fatiha’s ayah. 7. Quran states: And ask those of Our messengers whom We sent before thee: Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped beside the Beneficent? (43:45) Here Allah is directly teaching the Prophet (Peace be upon him) to ask previous Messengers, interpretation that this verse refers to asking the knowledgeable Jews and Christians of his time does not do justice to the clear wording of Quran itself. In Light of Hadith Hadith # 1 In Mishqaat ul Masabih It states: دﻮﺠﺴﻟا . هاور ﻢﻠﺴﻣ ﻚﻟذ .؟ ﺖﻠﻗ ﻮﻫ كاذ . لﺎﻗ ﻲﻨﻋﺄﻓ ﻰﻠﻋ ﻚﺴﻔﻧ ةﺮﺜﻜﺑ ﻞﺳ ﺖﻠﻘﻓ ﻚﻟﺄﺳأ ﻚﺘﻘﻓاﺮﻣ ﻲﻓ ﺔﻨﺠﻟا . لﺎﻗ وأ ﺮﻴﻏ Translation: The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said to Sayyidna Kab (RA): Ask for something (O Kab). Kab (ra) said: I ask for your companionship in Jannah. The Prophet said: Do you want something else? He replied: Just this, the Prophet (saw) then said: help me by doing more prostrations –Taken from (Sahih) Muslim [Mishqat ul Misabih, Volume No. 1 Page No. 156, Published by Maktaba al Mishkaat] This hadith proves that the Sahabi asked for paradise from Prophet ( ﻢﻠﺳو ﻰﻠﺻ ﷲ ﻪﻴﻠﻋ ) and the Prophet( ﻰﻠﺻ ﷲ ﻪﻴﻠﻋ ﻢﻠﺳو ) in return told him to ask for more!! The Prophet ( ﻰﻠﺻ ﷲ ﻪﻴﻠﻋ ﻢﻠﺳو ) did not say that you asked for Jannah from Ghair Ullah, hence you have become Mushrik! Sheikh Abdul Haqq Muhadith Dhelvi (rah) writes under this hadith: The meaning of Prophet (Peace be upon him) saying “ASK” and not restricting it to something specificproves that all things are in hands of Prophet (Peace be upon him) and he can grant anyone whatsoever he wishes through the grant of Allah, because the world and hereafter are his Sikhawatand the knowledge of Loh and Qalam is part of his Uloom, If you are in need of anything relating to world or hereafter then come to the Prophet (Peace be upon him) and get your need fulfilled. [Ash’at ul Lamaat, Sharah al Mishqaat, Volume No.2,Page No. 247] Mullah Ali Qari (rah) says: ﻰﻟﺎﻌﺗ ﻪﻨﻜﻣ ﻦﻣ ءﺎﻄﻋإ ﻞﻛ ﺎﻣ دارأ ﻦﻣ ﻦﺋاﺰﺧ ﻖﺤﻟا ﺬﺧﺆﻳ ﻦﻣ ﻪﻗﻼﻃإ ﻪﻴﻠﻋ مﻼﺴﻟا ﺮﻣﻷا لاﺆﺴﻟﺎﺑ نأ ﷲ Translation: The Prophet (Peace be upon him) saying to “ASK” refers to Allah giving him capability to grant anything from the “TREASURES OF ALLAH” [Mirqat Sharh al Mishqaat (2/615)] He also said: ﻪﻌﻄﻗأ ضرأ ﺔﻨﺠﻟا ﻲﻄﻌﻳ ﺎﻬﻨﻣ ﺎﻣ ءﺎﺷ ﻦﻤﻟ ءﺎﺷ ﺮﻛذو ﻦﺑا ﻊﺒﺳ ﻲﻓ ﻪﺼﺋﺎﺼﺧ هﺮﻴﻏو نإ ﷲ ﻰﻟﺎﻌﺗ Translation: Imam Ibn Sabih and others have mentioned it in qualities of Prophet (Peace be upon him) that Allah has granted the land of Jannah to Prophet (Peace be upon him) so that he can grant whosoever he wishes [Mirqaat Sharh al Mishqaat (2/615)] Hadith # 2 Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah Al-Ansari: Allahs Apostle said, Name yourselves after me (by my name) but do not call (yourselves) by my Kuniya, for I am Al-Qasim (distributor), and I distribute among you Allahs blessings. This narration has also come on the authority of Anas that the ! Prophet said so. Volume 8, Book 73, Number 216: (Sahih Bukhari) So Allah is the granter and the Prophet (Peace be upon him) is distributor,hence this hadith proves the Waseela of Prophet (Peace be upon him). Without any doubt. It should be known that Istighatha is nothing but Waseela in real sense and belief of Muslims is always that real grant is from Allah alone. Hadith # 3 Volume 2, Book 24, Number 553: (Sahih Bukhari) Narrated Abdullah bin Umar The Prophet said, A man keeps on asking others for something till he comes on the Day of Resurrection without any piece of flesh on his face. The Prophet added, On the Day of Resurrection, the Sun will come near (to, the people) to such an extent that the sweat will reach up to the middle of the ears, so, when all the people are in that state, they will ask Adam for help ( ﻮﺛﺎﻐﺘﺳا ), and then Moses, and then Muhammad (p.b.u.h) The sub-narrator added Muhammad will intercede with Allah to judge amongst the people. He will proceed on till he will hold the ring of the door (of Paradise) and then Allah will exalt him to Maqam Mahmud (the privilege of intercession, etc.). And all the people of the gathering will send their praises to Allah. Now remember people will run towards Prophets for help, clearly word Istighatha has been used in this hadith, this proves that had Istighatha been shirk then it could never be allowed on day of judgment and all those Prophets would have rather told the people to run towards Allah alone rather than next prophet!

After Imam At-Tabarani transmitted the hadith of calling out : O Servants of Allah, Help me! In his Mujam al Kabir (17/117) he said “this has been acted upon ( بﱠﺮَﺟ َ َﻚِﻟَذ ْﺪَﻗَو )” So Alhamdulillah the great Muhaditheen themselves acted upon it and approved it, had there been a hint of shirk in this then they would have mentioned it!

He suddenly called out three times, Labbaik, Labbaik, Labbaik! (Here I am) and Nusirtu, Nusirtu, Nusirtu! (I helped you). Hadhrat Maimuna (Radhi Allaho anha) further asked him why he had called out those words. He replied: Raajiz (a sahabi from far) was calling me because Quraish wanted to kill him[Imam Tabarani in Mu’jam as-Sagheer, Volume No.2,Hadith # 968] What actually happened was that the Quraish wanted to kill Hazrat Umar bin Saalim Raajiz (radi Allahu anhu) as he was on the road leading to Madinatul Munawwarah. He called out: Prophet (Peace be upon hijm): Help me or else the enemies will kill me! Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) responded to his call from home and saved him from death. Sheikh Abdul Haqq Muhadith Dhelvi (Rahimuhullah), who came from Arabia to subcontinent in order to spread the knowledge of hadith, he is respected highly by all Muslims (including Ghair Muqalideen) ,he says: I wish my intellect was owned by people who reject beseeching for help from Awliya,so what do they understand from it? What we understand is that the one making dua is dependent upon Allah, and he makes dua to Allah, asks Him for his Hajah and presents the Wasila of Allah’s friend ,he says: O Allah, the blessings which you have bestowed upon this friend of yours, please grant me something through his wasila, as you are the best of givers, the second case is that one calls out (nida) the Wali and makes him Mukhatib and says: O Slave of Allah, O Allah’s friend, do my Shaf’aat and make this dua to Allah that he grants me my need Hence the one who grants and the one who fulfills the need (in both cases) is “ONLY ALLAH” ,the man in-between is just an intercessor ,whereas the Qadir, Fa’il, one who brings about change is only Allah [Sharah al Mishkaat, Ash’atul Lamaat, Volume No. 3, Page No. 401] Imam Shams ud-din Al Ramli (Rahimuhullah) on Istighatha ﻻ قرﺎﻓ ﺎﻤﻬﻨﻴﺑ ﻻإ يﺪﺤﺘﻟا زﺎﺟ نأ نﻮﻜﻳ ةﺰﺠﻌﻣ ﻲﺒﻨﻟ زﺎﺟ نأ نﻮﻜﻳ ﺔﻣاﺮﻛ ﻲﻟﻮﻟ ﻢﻫﺪﻌﺑ ﻻ ﻦﻜﻤﻳ ﺎﻫرﺎﻜﻧإ ﺮﺗاﻮﺘﻟ ﺎﻬﻋﻮﻤﺠﻣ ، ﺔﻠﻤﺠﻟﺎﺑو ﺎﻣ تﺮﺟ قراﻮﺧ ﻰﻠﻋ يﺪﻳأ ﺔﺑﺎﺤﺼﻟا ﻦﻴﻌﺑﺎﺘﻟاو ﻦﻣو ﻦﻳﺮﻬﺷ ، بﺮﺷو ﺪﻟﺎﺧ ﻢﺴﻟا ﻦﻣ ﺮﻴﻏ رﺮﻀﺗ ﻪﺑ . ﺪﻗو وﺪﻌﻟا كﺎﻨﻫ ، عﺎﻤﺳو ﺔﻳرﺎﺳ ﻪﻣﻼﻛ ﺎﻤﻬﻨﻴﺑو ﺔﻓﺎﺴﻣ ﺎﻳ ﺔﻳرﺎﺳ ﻞﺒﺠﻟا ارﺬﺤﻣ ﻪﻟ ﻦﻣ ءارو ﻞﺒﺠﻟا ﻦﻴﻤﻜﻟ ﺮﺒﻨﻤﻟا ﺔﻨﻳﺪﻤﻟﺎﺑ ﻪﺸﻴﺟ ﺪﻧوﺎﻬﻨﺑ ﻰﺘﺣ لﺎﻗ ﺮﻴﻣﻷ ﺶﻴﺠﻟا ﺢﻴﺤﺼﻟا نﺎﻳﺮﺟو ﻞﻴﻨﻟا بﺎﺘﻜﺑ ﺮﻤﻋ ﻪﺘﻳؤرو ﻮﻫو ﻰﻠﻋ ﻖﻄﻧ ﻪﺑ ﻞﻳﺰﻨﺘﻟا ﺔﺼﻗو ﻲﺑأ ﺮﻜﺑ ، ﻪﻓﺎﻴﺿأو ﺎﻤﻛ ﻲﻓ عﻮﻗﻮﻟا ﺔﺼﻗ ﻢﻳﺮﻣ ﺎﻬﻗزرو ﻲﺗﻵا ﻦﻣ ﺪﻨﻋ ﷲ ﻰﻠﻋ ﺎﻣ لﺎﺤﻣ ﻞﻛو ﺎﻣ اﺬﻫ ﻪﻧﺄﺷ ﻮﻬﻓ ﺰﺋﺎﺟ عﻮﻗﻮﻟا ﻰﻠﻋو ﺎﻫزاﻮﺟ ﺎﻬﻧأ رﻮﻣأ ﺔﻨﻜﻤﻣ ﻻ مﺰﻠﻳ ﻦﻣ زاﻮﺟ ﺎﻬﻋﻮﻗو ﺔﻗرﺎﺧ ةدﺎﻌﻠﻟ ﺎﻬﻳﺮﺠﻳ ﷲ ﻰﻟﺎﻌﺗ ﻢﻬﺒﺒﺴﺑ ﻞﻴﻟﺪﻟاو ﻰﻠﻋ ﻰﻠﻋ ﻪﻧأ ﻊﻘﻳ ﻦﻣ ءﺎﻴﻟوﻷا ﺪﺼﻘﺑ ﺮﻴﻐﺑو ﺪﺼﻗ رﻮﻣأ رﺎﻔﻜﻟا . ﺎﻣأو ءﺎﻴﻟوﻷا ﻲﻬﻓ ﺔﻣاﺮﻛ ﻢﻬﻟ نﺈﻓ ﻞﻫأ ﻖﺤﻟا . ءاﺪﻬﺸﻟاو ﺎﻀﻳأ ءﺎﻴﺣأ اوﺪﻫﻮﺷ ارﺎﻬﻧ ارﺎﻬﺟ نﻮﻠﺗﺎﻘﻳ ﺎﻤﻛ تدرو ﻪﺑ رﺎﺒﺧﻷا نﻮﻜﺗو ﺔﺛﺎﻏﻹا ﻢﻬﻨﻣ ةﺰﺠﻌﻣ ﻢﻬﻟ ءﺎﻴﺒﻧﻷا ﻢﻬﻧﻸﻓ ءﺎﻴﺣأ ﻲﻓ ﻢﻫرﻮﺒﻗ نﻮﻠﺼﻳ نﻮﺠﺤﻳو ءﺎﻴﺒﻧﻷا تﺎﻣاﺮﻛو ءﺎﻴﻟوﻷا ﻻ ﻊﻄﻘﻨﺗ ﻢﻬﺗﻮﻤﺑ . ﺎﻣأ ءﺎﻴﻟوﻷاو ﻦﻴﺤﻟﺎﺼﻟاو ﺔﺛﺎﻏإ ﺪﻌﺑ ﻢﻬﺗﻮﻣ ؛ نﻷ ةﺰﺠﻌﻣ ءﺎﻤﻠﻌﻟاو ﻦﻴﺤﻟﺎﺼﻟاو ةﺰﺋﺎﺟ ﻞﺳﺮﻠﻟو ءﺎﻴﺒﻧﻷاو بﺎﺟﺄﻓ ( نﺄﺑ ﺔﺛﺎﻐﺘﺳﻻا ءﺎﻴﺒﻧﻷﺎﺑ ﻦﻴﻠﺳﺮﻤﻟاو ءﺎﻴﻟوﻷاو ﻚﻟذ ؟ ﻦﻴﺤﻟﺎﺼﻟاو ﺦﻳﺎﺸﻤﻟاو ﺔﺛﺎﻏإ ﺪﻌﺑ ﻢﻬﺗﻮﻣ اذﺎﻣو ﺢﺟﺮﻳ ﻞﻬﻓ ﻚﻟذ ﺰﺋﺎﺟ مأ ﻻ ﻞﻫو ﻞﺳﺮﻠﻟ ءﺎﻴﺒﻧﻷاو ءﺎﻴﻟوﻷاو ءﺎﻴﺒﻧﻷﺎﺑ ﻦﻴﻠﺳﺮﻤﻟاو ءﺎﻴﻟوﻷاو ءﺎﻤﻠﻌﻟاو ﻦﻴﺤﻟﺎﺼﻟاو ﺦﻴﺷ نﻼﻓ ﺎﻳ لﻮﺳر ﷲ ﻮﺤﻧو ﻚﻟذ ﻦﻣ ﺔﺛﺎﻐﺘﺳﻻا ﻞﺌﺳ ( ﺎﻤﻋ ﻊﻘﻳ ﻦﻣ ﺔﻣﺎﻌﻟا ﻦﻣ ﻢﻬﻟﻮﻗ ﺪﻨﻋ ﺪﺋاﺪﺸﻟا ﺎﻳ Question: That which occurs amongst the general public who when in distress call out Ya Sheikh Fulan and Ya Rasul Ullah and other such things in seeking help (Istighatha) from the Prophets, the saints, Ulama and upright people. Is this allowed or not? Do the Messengers/Prophets/Saints/righteous/Mashaikh have the capability to help others... Answer: Istighatha i.e. Seeking Help from the Prophets and Messengers, the Saints, Ulama and upright people is“PERMITTED” after their passing away. The messengers, prophets and saints have (power to) help after their passing away because their miracles do not become abolished after their deaths. The Prophets are alive in their graves, praying and also performing hajj as it has been mentioned in many ahadith. Therefore the help from them shall be a miracle from them, the martyrs are also alive which is proven that they have been seen openly killing the disbelievers. Now regarding Awliya then this is a Karamat from them, the people of truth believe that this happens from (the hands) of awliya both with their intention and without it. Having a change in outer aspects of things is brought forward by Allah through them. The Dalil for this is that these things are possible and their occurrence is not something impossible, for example the story of Maryam (a.s) and how the provision came to her from Allah as is stated in Quran and the incident of Abu Bakr (ra) with his guests as is present in Sahih, the Nile flowing to its full due to letter of Umar (ra) plus him also seeing right from his mimbar in madina, the army approaching (Sariya ra) and he exclaiming to the leader: “Ya Sariyatul Jabal (i.e. O Sariya turn to the mountain)” i.e. warning him about the enemy behind the mountain and Sariya (ra) even heard him though he was so far that it would take 2 months of travel. Also Khalid bin Walid (ra) drinking poison but it not harming him. The matters which generally go against the norm have for sure occurred from the hands of Sahaba, Tabiyeen, and those later to come. It cannot be possible to deny this fact because when we take this as a whole then they reach the level of Tawatur (i.e. definitely known reality).Hence what is possible as a miracle from Prophet is also possible as Karamah from a Saint, there is no difference between the two except for the fact that former is shown as a challenge [Fatawa al Ramli] Sheikh ul Islam Imam al-Subki (rah) Let us see the Introduction of this magnificent scholar, the real Sheikh ul Islam of his time.
