Dua Tawassul is a supplication recited by the Followers of the Family of the Prophet of Islam (Ahlulbayt), in which they ask Allah, the Exalted, for the intercession of those pure people whom He has spoken of in the Quran, when Allah says:
-[None shall have the power of intercession, but such a one as has received permission (or promise) from (Allah) Most Gracious] (19:87)
-[Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth?] (2:255)
-[no intercession avail except for those for whom permission has been granted by (God)] (20:109)
-[And those whom they call upon besides Him have no authority for intercession, BUT he who bears witness of the truth and they know (him)] (43:86)
-[And how many an angel is there in the heavens whose intercession does not avail at all except after Allah has given permission to whom He pleases and chooses] (53:26)

Is Intercession a form of Shirk?

Does Allah (swt) allow us to use others as a Wasila (means of approach) to him?

Yes, Allah (swt) tells us in the Qur'an, that the sole reason for creating Man and Jinn is so that they worship Him. We are here to worship Allah (swt), who also says in the Qur'an "Fear Allah and find a wasila to him (5:35)".

The definition of wasila is 'a means of approach', so worship is not direct - it is attained via a means of approach, a guide. Remember Allah (swt) is not telling you to create a wasila, he is telling you to find it. So it exists, it is down to you to find it. For mankind that wasila can only be through a fellow human being, we have no contact with jinns' and therefore they cannot act as a wasila.

Angels likewise cannot act as a wasila to Allah (swt) as they have no contact with us until the time of death. The wasila will have to be a human being, because the earth is inhabited by humans and as Allah (swt) says when explaining the appointment of Prophets "If there were angels on the earth I would send them an angel as a Prophet from heaven (Surat al Isra verse 95)."

Is this Dua authentic?

Shaykh Tusi says, in his book Misbah, that imam Hassan bin Ali Al Askari wrote this dua'a for Abu Muhammad who requested him to teach him the proper way of reciting salawat. Allama Majlisi has mentioned this dua'a on the authority of Ibn babawayh who confidently says that there is no difficulty or problem that this dua'a does not solve.

The merciful Allah is beseeched in the name of and for the sake of the Holy prophet and his Ahl ul Bayt. It is known as the Dua which fulfills all legitimate desires in a short amount of time.

@all10980 ... Later, the Prophet appeared to the man in a dream and said "Go to Umar and give him my greeting, then tell them they will be watered." Al-Bayhaqi, in "Al-Bidaya wa'l Nihaya" cites it as "isnaduhu sahih" (sahih chain).

Ibn Abi Shayba cites it, in his "Musannaf", as Sahih as well...as does Ibn Hajar in Fathul Bari, and he (Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani) says that the man in this hadith is no other than the Companion Bilal ibn al-Harith.

[TheGnosticReality]

@all10980 Also, related by Malik al-Dar (Caliph Umar's treasurer) that during a great drought during Umar's administration, a man came to the grave of the Prophet and said "O Messenger of Allah, ask Allah for rain for your community, for verily they have but perished"

[TheGnosticReality]

@all10980 Nawawi in Al-Adhkar, Al-Majm'u 8:217 & Al-Idah fi Manasik al-Hajj, chapters on Visiting the Grave of the Prophet. Ibn Jam'a in Hidayat al-Salik 3:1384 3, Ibn 'Aqil; in Al-Tadhkira, Ibn Qudama in Al-Mughni, Al-Qurtubi in Tafsir of ayat 4:64 in Ahkam al-Qur'an, as well as Ibn Kathir, Samhudi, Taqi al-Deen al-Subki, Ibn al-Jawzi, Ibn Hajar al-Haytami, & several others, none of whom declared it less than Mashhur (established and well known) & it is upheld by all four madhahib by ijma'.

@all10980 Then the bedouin left, and I dozed off and then saw the Prophet (s) in a dream. He said to me, "O 'Ubti. Go after that bedouin and give him the glad tidings that Allah has forgiven him."

[TheGnosticReality]

@all10980 So, I have come to you asking forgiveness for my sin, seeking your intercession with my Lord". Then he began to recite the following poetry: "O best of those whose bones are buried in the deep earth. And from whose fragrance the depth and the height have become sweet. May I be the ransom for the grave which thou inhabit, and which thou are found in purity, bounty, and munificence!"

[TheGnosticReality]

@all10980 I have heard Allah saying "If they had only, when they were unjust to themselves, come unto thee and asked Allah's forgiveness, and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah indeed Oft-returning in forgivness, Ever Merciful" [4:64].

[TheGnosticReality]

@all10980 Firstly, I'm not an Arab, and I don't know where you got that from. Secondly, Imam Nawawi among others in his "Al-Adhkar" for it's hujja (proof) regarding the merit of employing the beloved of Allah as a means to Him, Al-'Utbi (a Companion of the Prophet [s]) said: "As I was sitting by the grave of the Prophet (s), a bedouin Arab came and said: 'Peace be upon you O Messenger of Allah!

Number 1 you dont know what shirk means

it means giving Allah a partner.The aya you

speak of is about the idol worshippers.Intercession

Look at the Quran Allah had revealed the followers

of Prophet Yakub (S.A.W) Said we sinned and they

replied i will go to the courts of Allah the Greatest.

And ask for forgiveness for you. You must know what

shirk is as Arab you have no excuse.

[all10980]

They are with Allah our Lord you should show faith my Brother.

Their bodies are on earth but they alive in their holy spirit.

Allah The Greatest is Revealing everything to them.Tell me do

you doubt The prophecy of Our Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

Till this day it's all come true.Do your Research.Do you doubt

the Ahlul Bayt can enter into your dreams.That would mean

they can hear us.
