Abdul Hai Laknavee was asked QUESTION It is the habit of the people of this city that during a calamity they call upon the prophets and awliyaa for help and they believe they are haadhir naadhir (omnipresent and watching), and that when they call upon them, they listen and supplicate for their needs, so is this permissible or not? ANSWER This is unlawful rather it is clear and manifest shirk because in this someone other than Allaah is considered to have knowledge of the unseen and such a belief is clear Shirk. According to the Shareeah of Islaam shirk is to give and consider someone other than Allaah to have Allaahs attributes and qualities and having knowledge of the unseen is one such attribute, as the books of Aqeedah have clearly mentioned. As a summay we will just mention one quote. Mulla Alee Qaaree wites in the Explanation of Fiqh ul-Akbar,Knowledge of the unseen is such affair which is for Allaah alone and humans are informed by means of insights miracles or signs inorder to bring evidence,from those things in which this is possible and doing this in way that is not possible for them. This is the reason why the books of verdicts mention that if someone by looking at the clouds, claims to have knowledge of the unseen and says today it will rain, then this is disbelief and the hanafiyyah have declared the people to be disbelievers who believe the Messenger of Allaah (Sallalaahu Alayhee Was-Sallam) had knowledge of the unseen because it contradicts the saying of Allaah, Say no one knows the unseen of the heavens and the earths, except Allaah this is how it is mentioned in Masaairah (a hanafee book of aqeedah). So believing that the prophets and the awliyaa are haadhir naadhir and to believe they hear our calls of need all the time in every situation, even if they are far away, is clear Shirk because this attribute is specific and solely for Allaah and no one is equal to him in this. Fataawa Bazaaziyyah mentions, Someone married (ie did a nikah) without witnesses and said, I make Allaah, his Messenger and his Angels my witnesses then he becomes a disbeliever (Kaafir) because he held the belief that the Messenger of Allaah (Sallalahu Alayhee Was-Sallam) and the Angels know the unseen. Bazzaaziyyah also mentions. Similarly our scholars (ie the hanafee scholars) said about those people who believe the souls of the Maashaykh are haadhir, then they are disbelievers (Kaafirs).[Translated by Abu Hibban and Abu Khuzayma] Scan: images.orkut/orkut/photos/PQAAAKYzmz1iDAl3q-dCQV9gWJHscSaBv6bW8fWX3RYC6tu88G5rSocSYkRxeI0Ycc-tSlUoA7ur-F2Wb_AEbJLjjNkAm1T1UCFI91Hx776eZIKOs1TpHmW7O5Zl.jpg InshaAllah Read more: systemoflife/articles/aqeedah/372-response-to-ja-al-haq-chapter-of-hazir-nazir-2nd-fasal#ixzz2uS66T7pe
