Is this true?

Re: Is this true?

Good brother. May Allah bless you. Now consider this, you know the Hadith about Istigathaa. It is possible that the first site I took it from - the Arabic - inflected it wrong! You know that the Hadith were recorded without vowels. If you download the Volume 10 of Al-Haythmi, you will see it is not inflected.

Considering how all Arabs understand it to mean a Nafi for prohibition, perhaps the website site inflected it wrong.

Now getting to the point of Aqeedah. Aqeedah cannot be taken from weak Hadith! As a matter of fact according the school you and vroom follow, it cannot be taken from authentic hadith either if it is not mutawaatir or mashoor.

But first lets decided if this is an issue of Aqeedah. I mentioned this to vroom and he said this is not Aqeedah rather only an act Muslims perform. If you scroll back you will find his statement.

So, what do you say. Is this a matter of Aqeedah or not?

Tawassul is not a matter of Aqeedah, but istighaata, should have a bearing on 'aqeedah in the sense that we either seek help from Allah (SWT) or seek help from His servants knowing that it actually comes from Him. When we say O RasoolAllah (SAW) help us … That clearly means O RasoolAllah (SAW) help us by seeking help from Allah (SWT) on our behalf.

It stems from whether you view RasoolAllah (SAW) as alive and respondent or not alive. I have come to view all true martyrs, Awliyah and prophets are alive and have differing levels of proximity to us. Loving the loved ones of Allah (SWT) earns Love of Allah (SWT) …

We will never ask RasoolAllah (SAW) to forgive sins or worship him … Or Attribute to his nature any form of Divinity from the elements of Tawheed. So we should not be accused of doing that either. For me this topic is unnecessary we can comfortably live with this difference and treat each other as brothers and move on … I understand people from both sides would rather not do that.
