So if they were to repent...
So if they were to repent, it would be better for them, and if they turn back, Allah would Punish them with a painful Punishment in the world and the Hereafter; and there isn’t for them in the earth from a guardian, nor a helper [9:74] Who can be a ‘ Wasila ’?
The qualities of those who can act as a ‘Wasila’, i.e., Rasool Allah saw , and those who do not give their opinion but only speak under the Command of Allah -azwj , as per the following Verse: لَا يَسْبِقُونَهُ بِالْقَوْلِ وَهُمْ بِأَمْرِهِ يَعْمَلُونَ {2721:} They speak not until He had Spoken and they are only acting by His Command [21:27] Who are ‘Wali’ (Mola) Besides Allah -azwj ?
Allah -azwj Says in the Holy Quran, that Allah -azwj is Wali/Mola, so is Rasool Allah -saww (Wali/Mola), and the One (is Mola) who gave the Zakat while in Ruku (that is Ali -saww Ibn Abi Talib the Muskal Kusah, as agree by all historian that Ali Ibn Abi Talib -asws gave the ring in Zakat to a begging while in the Ruku): إِنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَهُمْ رَاكِعُونَ But rather, your Wali (Guardian/Mola) is Allah, and His Rasool, and those who are believing, those who are establishing the Salat and are giving the Zakat while they are performing Ruku [5:55] And also Allah -azwj has clearly Warned: وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمْرًا أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ وَمَنْ يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَالًا مُبِينًا (3633:) And it is not appropriate for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Rasool (messenger) have decided an affair (for them), that they should (after that) claim any say in their affair; and whosoever is rebellious to Allah and His messenger, he is indeed on a clearly wrong Path [33:36].
Wasila from those who have passed away? Some Muslims say that one cannot seek assistance ( Wasila ) from those who have passed away, as per some Verses of the Holy Quran, given in the appendix II. However, martyrs are not dead, see the following three Verses, as per the Holy Quran.
وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتًا ۚ بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ يُرْزَقُونَ {169} And think not of those who are martyred in the way of Allah as dead but, they are alive being sustained in the Presence of their Lord (3:169).
