Kashf ush-Shubuhaat – The removal of the doubts – Lesson 14 (31/10/20) 5th DOUBT — The claim that the one who rejects Shirk has rejected the intercession of the Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم( Then if he says: "Do you reject the intercession of the Messenger of Allāh (صلى الله عليه وسلم (and have you forsaken it?" Say to him: "I do not reject it nor have I abandoned it. Rather, he (صلى الله عليه وسلم (is the intercessor whose intercession will sought and granted – and I truly hope for his intercession – but all intercession is for Allāh as He (وتعاىل تبارك (says: "To Allāh belongs all intercession." [Sūrah al-Zumar 39:44] And it will not occur except with Allāh's permission as He (وجل عز (says: "Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission?" [Sūrah al-Baqarah 2:255] And he (صلى الله عليه وسلم (will not intercede on anyone's behalf until Allāh has permitted him, as Allāh (وجل عز (says: "And they cannot intercede except for one with whom He is pleased." [Sūrah al-Anbiyā’ 21:28] And He is not pleased with anything other than Tawḥīd, as Allāh (وتعاىل تبارك (says: "Whoever desires other than Islām as a Religion then this will not be accepted from him." [Sūrah Āli-’Imrān 3:85] So if all intercession is for Allāh; and this will only occur after He has first permitted it; and neither the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم (nor anyone else can intercede on behalf of anyone unless Allāh permits; and since He does not permit this except for the people of Tawḥīd – it should become clear that all intercession is for Allāh so I seek it from Him. So I say: 'O Allāh, do not deprive me of his intercession; O Allāh let him intercede on my behalf and whatever is similar to this.'" 6th DOUBT – The claim that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم (was given intercession and we are simply seeking that But if he says: "The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم (was granted intercession and I seek it from the one it was given to". Then the response to this is that: “Allāh granted him the right of intercession but prohibited you from this action, as He said: ‘So do not invoke anyone along with Allāh.’ [Sūrah al-Jinn 72:18] So if you call upon Allāh to request that He permit His Prophet to intercede on your behalf then obey him when he said: ‘So do not invoke anyone along with Allāh.’” [Another response to this is that]: “Indeed, intercession has been granted to other than the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم (as well. It has been authentically established that the Angels will intercede, the awliyā’ and the afrāt will intercede. So are you saying that since Allāh has granted these people the ability to intercede, then I should seek it from them? If you are saying this then you have returned to the worship of the righteous people, which Allāh mentioned in His Book. But if you say no, then you have invalidated your claim – that ‘Allāh has granted him intercession then I will seek it from whomever Allāh has granted it.’" Today we covered: • Is it permissible to make du’aa at the grave of the Prophet ﷺ? • What the people will say on the day of judgement • The intercession of the different types of people • It is not permissible to call upon the Angels and the righteous • Q&A session The English translation of the workbook are available on: file:///D:/Learn%20About%20Islam/Audio/Abu%20Muaadh%20Taqweem%20Aslam/Kashf%20Ush-Shubuhaat/Kashf%20ash-Shubuhaat%20workbook.pdf Recorded at the Salafi Centre of Manchester on 31/10/20 and streamed live on www.SunnahRadio.Net
