Re: Is this true?

@ZeeshanParvez

The fact that this website has used this incidence to justify Istigatha by means of the dead shows the complete ignorance, or purposeful deceit, of the writers.

Let me clarify for you and others, like psyah, who have bought what you have copy pasted from another website as to what exactly is Istigatha and Tawassul as it is quite clear that you both are unfamiliar with the terms as used and understood by the classical jurists.

Tawassul = To seek aid by means of calling upon Allah through a person or virtuous act.

Istigatha = To call upon a dead person directly to help you with the belief that he is able to hear you and can present your case before Allah, thus bring you near to Him and increase your chance of having your supplication answered.

Unless and until you understand the difference between the two, which if you cannot I suggest you pick up a classical book of Aqeedah by a Hanafi scholar since you belong to that school and familiarize yourself with the two, there will be no point to enter into a discussion as ignorance can never be debated.

We know what Istigatha is and we believe in it in our own terms. Exactly how is this reply relevant?
