Re: Is it wrong? Is it selfish?

After a bit of sideshow - Now back to the thread.

Respected Brother psyah I have seen the word Adrikni translated as ‘rescue me’ in Shia literature along with Hz. Ali (ra) and the twelfth Shia Imam.

Now coming to Concept of Tawassul – It is part of Islam, no one can deny it.

  1. We can and must do Tawassul through the beautiful Names and exalted Attributes

  2. Tawassul through the one’s own good deeds.

Saying "O Allah I ask you by my love for your Prophet …..”; Because loving the Messenger of Allah is a good deed.

  1. Tawassul by the supplication of a righteous living person, by asking them to make dua for you.

I mean Tawassul or waseela is the means of approaching Allah Almighty.

And it is Allah Almighty alone that delivers the results – only if He Wills it.

It is only Allah Almighty who can forgive sins; relieve distress; restore good health; increase wealth; increase rizq; bless one with offspring; etc. etc.

Now about the poem about adrikni – I tried to read it - My Urdu is very weak and I can’t read it. But what I made of it is that it is addressed to the Blessed Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with no mention of Allah Almighty at all.

Dua is always addressed to Allah Almighty with means of waseela mentioned above. Dua cannot be addressed to anyone but Allah Almihgty.

And your Lord says: Call upon Me, I will answer you; surely those who are too proud for My service shall soon enter hell abased. 40:60]
