okay we had sister isia from the Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia call and she asked about
uh making Dua she says that sometimes we
ask our friends uh please make Dua for
us she says what's the difference
between this and asking somebody who's a
friend of Allah will Allah whether alive
or dead because we can discuss this here
uh to make Dua for us what's the
difference there's all the difference in
the world especially when it comes to
life or dead because we're not supposed
to ask from the dead the dead are more
in Need for us than anybody else are in
need for our prayers
and once knew that om was going to
perform so he asked him to pray for himh
om pray to the for the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam it is
permissible to ask righteous people or
even or people and especially your
parents and youngers to pray for you
that is permissible and it is
recommended and it is recommended to ask
for more righteous people pray for me
their Dua is most likely to be answered
and not only that
andam advised us to pray for one another
in the Unseen and he said the Dua which
is most likely to be accept
is which means that when you you pray
for somebody who's not present so I was
performing for inance and I say oh Allah
BL J oh Allah bless everybody in HUD TV
oh Allah bless the um oh Allah liberate
Jerusalem oh Allah oh Allah give Victory
to the Muslim um SOI wasallam says that
when somebody prays for somebody else in
his absence Allah subhana tala appoints
an angel appoints an angel who standing
next to you to say oh Allah respond a
mean a mean the it no and give him
similar to what he asked for that person
so when you say oh Allah make somebody
rich or give him shifa or cure or let
this girl get married or have children
the angel says oh Allah respond and give
him which is you the supplicant similar
to what you have asked for your brothers
or for your sisters but asking from the
dead is an act of shik is an act Act of
associating others with Allah subhana wa
tala they cannot Avail you on a they do
not own anything for themselves let
alone
others and wasallam is the greatest
human being ever life or dead and we
don't ask from him because he himself
said to his nephew
abdah may Allah be pleased with him
if you ever ask then you should only ask
from Allah if you ever seek help you
should only seek the help of
Allah it does not make any sense when
somebody says oh M so and so help me op
here so and so oh or even Prophet
because by that you're sitting Partners
to subh tal and for your informations
the Quran spoke about this kind of
associating others with Allah in details
he said that the meccan pagans argued
with the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam when they said we worship one
God he said what about these
Idols they argued
saying we're only taking them as means
of approach to take us directly to Allah
because we're not pure enough they were
righteous and this is how Satan deceived
humanity and Mankind when first
righteous people died so he said you're
not going to commemorate the remembrance
why don't you draw pictures and make
statues of them so they did then after
the flood
of he inspired somebody to dig them
out and he brought them from jeda to
Mecca and he sat them around the Caba
and said these who rightous people in
the beginning then guess what after a
while they say oh these are Lords same
thing with the ancient Egyptians they
have a lord for rain and a lord for love
and a lord for death and a lord for that
initially they thought they were
righteous people we just invoke them to
take them as a mean of approach to Allah
this is the first step to slip down in
the pen or the pit of sh that you should
only ask from Allah subhana
and ask none but
Allah
says making Dua is the essence of
worship and Allah subhana T said in the
course of talking about Ramadan and its
virtues
that I just don't understand that if you
go to any physician and he prescribes
any medication for you say this is the
best because you trust the
physician this is Allah subhana T says
you want to know about me I'm very near
to you if you need anything don't ask no
one don't ask no one just ask me
directly you don't have to find any
person as an intermediary between me and
you I am closer to you than your own
jugler so ask of me
in order to be rightly guided
