The First Argument

Of these doubts is their saying: "We don't commit shirk with Allah! Rather, we testify that there is no deity or power that creates, or gives sustenance, or benefits anyone or harms anyone except Allah; He is Alone, having no partners or equals. And we testify that Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is not able by himself to cause any benefit or cause any harm, much less the saint 'Abd al Qadir, or anyone else besides him. But, even though I testify all this, I realize that I am sinful, and these righteous people have a great status in front of Allah, so I ask Allah through them."

So, when he presents this argument to you, respond to him with what has gone before in this tract, and that is that the same people that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) fought used to acknowledge all that you have mentioned, O negator of truth! And they openly admitted that their idols did not control anything. Rather, they desired from these objects their status in front of Allah, and their intercession to Allah on their behalf. And recite to him the verses that Allah has mentioned in His Book, and explain these verses to him.
