NO SUPPLICATION TO PROPHET OR ANYONE BUT ONLY TO ALLAH
Sheikh “Muhammad Abduh”(1849-1905) Head of Islamic verdict body in Egypt & most Islamic countries in his time wrote on this matter saying
- Prophet Muhammad himself did not hold for himself or to others benefit or harm Q7;188
قُل لَّا أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِي نَفْعًا وَلَا ضَرًّا إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّـهُ ۚ وَلَوْ كُنتُ أَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ لَاسْتَكْثَرْتُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ وَمَا مَسَّنِيَ السُّوءُ ۚ إِنْ أَنَا إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ وَبَشِيرٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ
translation “(O Muhammad) Say, “I hold not for myself [the power of] benefit or harm, except what Allah has willed. And if I knew the unseen, I could have acquired much wealth, and no harm would have touched me. I am not except a warner and a bringer of good tidings to a people who believe.””——–
- ALLAH explicitly states that we should not supplicate/invoke to anyone but Him only Q72;18
فَلَا تَدْعُوا مَعَ اللَّـهِ أَحَدًا
translation “so do not invoke with Allah anyone” —— Also saying in Q112;2
قُلْ هُوَ اللَّـهُ أَحَدٌ ﴿١﴾ اللَّـهُ الصَّمَدُ
translation “Say, “He is Allah, [who is] One, the One Who is always sought at times of need”—— Also in Al Fatiha Q1;5 it is stated that the support is sought from Allah only
إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ ,
translation “You [alone] we worship, and You [alone] we ask for help”—-
- Allah informed us that He is close to us & respond to our supplication Q2;186
وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ ۖ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ
translation “And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me – indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me.’——-
- There should be no intermediaries between Allah & us, as this is the creed of those who associate other Gods with Allah & Quran denounces this act Q10;18
وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّـهِ مَا لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ وَلَا يَنفَعُهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ هَـٰؤُلَاءِ شُفَعَاؤُنَا عِندَ اللَّـهِ
translation “And they worship other than Allah that which neither harms them nor benefits them, and they say, “These are our mediators/intercessors with Allah”——
