#507: Ruling on making Tawassul with the Verse of the Qurʿān

QUESTION

” Please is it allowed to pray and end it with “lola quranul azeem”

Admin :she mean “by the blessings of Quran al azeem”

ANSWER

Alhamdulillāh.

The question asked has to do with At-Tawassul

The Ulamā are at a consensus that it is permissible to make Tawassul with the Name of Allāh and His attributes and there are many Ahādith that reflect that.

Allāh – ta’ālā – said:

ولله الاسماء الحسنى فادعوه بها…
‘And to Allāh belongs the Beautiful Names, so call upon him with them…’

The Rasūl – salallāhu alayhi wasallam – in several Ahādith sought Allāh using His Attributes.

Of them is that which was recorded by Imām Ahmad in the Musnad that the Rasūl – salallāhu alayhi wasallam – would supplicate with the following:

( اللهم بعلمك الغيب ، وقدرتك على الخلق ، أحيني ما علمت الحياة خيرا لي ، وتوفني إذا كانت الوفاة خيرا لي )
“O Allāh! By your knowledge of the Unseen and Your Power and Might over the Creation, keep me alive for as long as You know that life is better for me; And take my soul if death is better for me.”

This shows that the Attributes of Allāh is among the ways with which one can Call upon Allāh and ask Him a thing with.

And it is established that the Wordings of Allāh is among the Attributes of Allāh.

And the Rasūl – salallāhu alayhi wasallam – would seek refuge with the Words of Allāh as is found in the well-known du’ā:

أعوذ بكلمات الله التامات
“I seek refuge in the perfect Words of Allāh”

And the Qur’ān is the Word of Allāh

For this reason the Ulamā’s verdict is that it is permissible to call upon Allāh with the Qur’ān.

Therefore there wouldn’t be anything wrong in the statement:

“…by the Qur’ān”

Or “By the blessings of the Qur’ān”

And Allāh knows best.

Bārakallāhu Fīkum
Jazākumullāhu Khayran.
