Re: QUESTIONS TO A SHIA
Yaar plz..do not name the word Tawassul... it is far far thing as compare to which you believe about ali(ra) and 12 imams...in tawassul there is no concept that the person or wali himself do anythig...each and everything is done by allah...but yes sometimes the **means **will become a wali , or a person alive or allah can do the work himself wothout any mean ... as he is Qadir on everything....
but brother ..tell me why you need a tawassul as your imams are so high that it is useless to ask for tawasuullas they can do everything on thier own account ....then what a need for tawassul.......just have a bird eye view !!!!
