Re: Is this true?

Brother, I only tell you what the scholars of the past of the Madhabs say. I don’t say anything on my accord.

Reverence is not Shirk.

Asking (duaa) directly (not Tawassul but istigathaa) is.

Because the the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said duaa is worship.

If you call upon anyone other than Allah for help as is done in istigathaa it is worship of that person.

This is how the scholars explain it in the past.

This is why Imam Al-Baghawi (Shaafi) says in his Tafsir that to call upon means to worship.

Remember, I do not speak from myself. This is what the Deobandis and Salafis and others say.

To call upon = worship?

So when I say “Mum! Can you help me for second?” that is Mother worship? Please elaborate …
