The Ninth Argument Now, if he tries yet another practice to prove his shirk and says: "Verily the friends of Allah - there is no fear for them, nether will they worry" [Surah Yunus; 62] thus trying to prove that such people are worthy of intercession, then respond to him: This is indeed true that they occupy a high place with Allah, but they are not to be worshipped! And we only deny that they should be worshipped along with Allah, and that they be taken as partners along with Him. Otherwise we agree that it is obligatory to love them, and follow them, and to believe in any miracles that might have occurred to them by the blessings of Allah. And no one except a person of deviation denies the existence of such miracles. But the religion of Allah is in middle, between the two extremes; a guidance between the two extremities of falsehood, and a truth between the two extremities of evil.

Oh Allah, I seek refuge in You lest I misguide others, or I am misguided by others, lest I cause others to err or I am caused to err, lest I abuse others or be abused, and lest I behave foolishly or meet with the foolishness of others. |
