How to address Hz. Ali (RA)

[Nosherwan]

@Pagluu

Nosherwan, you seem to be repeating what I have heard and seen plenty of in the country where I am from. Tauheed is not just uttering “Allah is one” and “only Allah” but rather obeying the command of Allah (swt). His command to the angels were to bow down to Adam (as), and when one of them refused, he earned condemnation till the day of judgement. Allah’s command to you and I is to follow the path of those whom he bestowed His favors, His chosen representatives.

[1:7] The path of those upon whom Thou hast bestowed favors. Not (the path) of those upon whom Thy wrath is brought down, nor of those who go astray.

When the angels bowed to Adam (as), their prostration was for no one but Allah (swt).
When the brothers of Yousuf (as) prostrated before him, it showed respect for not only Yousuf (as) but the ONE Yousuf (as) was representing, i.e. Allah the Almighty.
When the magicians in the court of Firoun feel down infront of Musa and Haroon (as), they had submitted and had fallen infront of the power of Allah (swt) that He had showed through Musa and Haroon (as).
So if i call upon the chosen representatives of Allah (swt) for help then what makes you think I am asking for help from one other than the Almighty Allah?

We follow the Shariah of Muhammad not pass abrogated Shariahs and the Shariah of Muhammad does not allow prostration to other than God.

By your logic worshipping Jesus Christ or Krishna or Ram is fine because Christians and Hindus believe they worship one Allah and the idol is just for concentration.

Following the path of Allah’s representatives is one thing, worshipping them is another..
