The Awliya Allah (saints of Allah) control the transactions that take place in this world

even after their death

…Now from the above verse let us consider a different meaning derived from Tafseer
Baidawi: “Or Allah has mentioned about the pure souls of the Awliya. This is because when
the soul leaves the body, it goes towards the ‘Angelic world’ (Alam al-Malakoot), it swims in
that world and goes quickly towards the divine presence. Thus, because of this power and
strength, it becomes amongst those who manage the affairs and transactions of this world.”1

We can see, Alhamdulillah, that the Awliya Allah have control over the affairs of this world.
‘Allama Ahmad Bin Muhammad Shahab Khafaji, in his book, ‘Inyatul Qadi and Kifayatul
Radi writes, (quoting from Imam Hujjatul Islam Muhammad Ghazali Rehmatullahi Alaihi
and from Imam Fakhruddeen Razi Alaihir Rehmah):

“It is for this reason that when you are uncertain about a particular task then you should go to
the shrines of the Awliya Allah and seek their help. However, this is not from the Hadith as
some people have thought. It is for this reason that there is a consensus upon (the
permissibility) of going to the shrines of the Awliya and making them the Wasila even though
there are certain people in our day and age who deny this and it is to Allah that we complain
about their tribulations.”2

Yes, I said it before that this attribute is an innate Attribute (al-Sifat al-Dhati) of Allah
Almighty. Allah Almighty says: “Say you; ‘Who provides you from the heaven and the
earth? Who is the master of the ear and the eyes? And who brings out the living from the
dead and brings out dead from the living and who plans all affairs?’ They will then now say:
‘Allah’. Thus say you, “Why do you not fear then?”(Yunus 10:31)

The Holy Qur’an says that this is the characteristic of Allah alone, so much so, that even the
Kuffar and the non-believers know it too. Ask them as to who is the one who manages the
affairs of this world, they will say, “Lord”, Allah, and will not say anyone else’s name. On
the other hand the Qur’an uses these characteristics to describe the beloved servants of Allah
Almighty. I swear by Allah! Ask them whether the Qur’an has saved itself from committing
‘Shirk’?!

Only one answer to hundreds of questions!

We come back to the same point we made in our introduction that unless we differentiate
between Dhati (Innate) and Ata’i (bestowed), you will never seek refuge from the wrath of
the Qur’an and the Ahadith. On the other hand if we do make this distinction then all of your
‘polytheism’, [like seeking help (of the pious), the knowledge of the unseen, calling out (to
the pious), hearing (from far)], will die away.

An Angel causes death

Verse 33: “Say, ‘the Angel of death, who has appointed over you, causes you to die.” (Al-
Sijdah 32:11)

Verse 34: “Until when death comes to any one of you, Our Angels take his soul.” (Al-An’am
6:61)

Whereas Allah says in the holy Qur’an: “Allah takes away the souls at the time of their
death.” (Al-Zumar 39:42)

Angel Jibra’il gave a son

Verse 35: “He (Jibra’il Alaihis Salaam) said (to Maryum RadiAllaho Anha), ‘I am only a
Messenger of your Lord that I may give you a pure son.” (Maryum 19: 19)

Allah! Allah! Jibra’il Alahis Salaam now claims to give a son! How much disturbing will this
be to those of Najd! Wa La Hawla Wa La Quwwata Illa Billahil ‘Aliyyil Adheem!

The Wahhabis were crying on the fact that to name someone as Muhammad Baksh, Ahmad
Bakhsh is Shirk, here the Qur’an calls Jibra’il as Baksh (giver of bounties)!
