Waseela Se Mangna

Peace wais88,

I’ll quote the same verse which u quoted earlier. Chapter 5 verse 35:

In this verse ‘Taqwa’ might be translated “Fear of Allah”, but the very next clause shows that “Fear of Allah” does not mean “Fear” in the ordinary sense, which would make you avoid the object of fear (that if I don’t approach to this or that person then he/she might be get angry and if he/she angry than Almighty Allah will be angry). On the contrary the “Fear of Allah is the intense desire to avoid everything that is against His Will and Law”. It is in fact duty to Almighty Allah, for we are told to seek ardently the means by which we may approach Him, and that can only be done by striving with might and main for His cause.

All said next: “and seek the Wasilah to Him”. Wasilah means ‘the means of approach’. ‘Wasilah’ is a means of approach to achieve something, and it is also used to refer to the highest grade in Paradise, and it is the grade of the Messenger , his residence and the nearest grade in Paradise to Allah’s Throne.

Moreover, Almighty Allah says in Chapter 17 verse 56 and 57: "Say, “Invoke those you have claimed [as gods] besides Him, for they do not possess the [ability for] removal of adversity from you or [for its] transfer [to someone else].” Those whom they invoke seek means of access to their Lord, [striving as to] which of them would be nearest, and they hope for His mercy and fear His punishment. Indeed, the punishment of your Lord is ever feared".

In the above verse, Almighty Allah clearly stated that ‘those’ whom ‘they’ invoke are actually seeking means of access to Lord by themselve, how can be waseela for others.

such beautiful verses have been quoted the beautiful and very knowledgible words from the creator of everything.

but i still dont see anything up there which stops us from taking wasila.

the first quoted verse actually authorises wasila clearly.

and the second one is a whole new topic, its not about wasila its infact about worship, wasila and worship are two very different topics.
i want you to understand that wasila is a medium or support or impact.
whereas worship is a totally different topic(lets not go in tafsilaat of worship now).

wasila is obligatory for every person who has not yet directly connected to allah.

let me bring some clarity by an example
when you want to pusrchase some equipment say you want to buy a can of coca cola.
what do you do to get it?
you directly go to coca cola factory?
or
do you go to a cold drink retailer?
answer is retailer ofcoarse.
the coca cola which you get at the retailer is not manufactured at his shop but still you can get that drink there. because retailer is connected to the coca cola.

similarly when we seek for wasila of anybody it is our means to connect to allah, because you and me are still not enough pious to get from him directly, for that there’s a long hard path to walk.

and in your second quoted verse the very first wors ‘say’ is of very deep meaning and it supports the wasila.
‘say’ or in arabic its ‘qul’ its allah talking to his beloved propet s.a.w. it is allah’s means of connecting to us. allah himself has used a means or a medium why?
it is allah’s way of teaching us to seek for wasila.

i think the fact of necessity and importance of wasila is been cleared to some extent…

so you see like i had said wherever you see in any book of islam be it quran or hadees or books written by great awliyas, it will always be in favor of wasila.
