Ash'aris on True Tawhid and Shirk

The researcher said:

‘With respect to true tawḥīd and that which opposes it with respect to shirk, and knowing such shirk and cautioning against it, there is no absolute mention of it in their books of creed, and I don’t know where they have (addressed the issue)?  Is it in the books of furū? It is not in such books! Or have they abandoned this cause altogether? The latter is that of which I am certain’.

I say:

Indwelling & Union

E-mail Print PDF

From among the most egregious of claims that the biased partisans level against the esteemed Sufis is their ignorant and slanderous accusation that the Sufis believe in indwelling and union. This belief means, namely, that Allah (swt), indwells within all parts of the creation: in the seas, mountains, stones, trees, humans, animals, etc. It could also mean that the creation is in fact the Creator; that all that exists and can be perceived with the senses in this universe is the Entity of Allah, far Exalted is Allah above all this!

Tawassul, Istighatha, Shirk and Causality

If they [the Salafis] prohibit seeking the favor of Allah by mentioning the things He loves [ al-tawassul ] and seeking the help [ al-istighātha ] [of His creatures] and hold it to be shirk simply because it is tawassul and istighātha, then the complaint of one who has been wronged that he addresses to one who might grant him justice will be shirk, and a person’s seeking the help of someone else in the fulfillment of his personal affairs will be shirk, and a king’s seeking the help of his army in wars will be shirk, and the army’s seeking help from the king to obtain what it requires; in fact we can say that according to their supposition [that seeking the help of creatures is shirk ] that a students seeking the help of tradesmen and artisans which people cannot do without, and even a patient’s seeking the help of a doctor is shirk.
