Allah -azwj has Commanded people to not take their own created gods and intercessors (Wasila) beside Him -azwj , as they will be ‘لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ’ ‘other than Allah -azwj ’. To call upon all those who are ‘لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ’ is therefore ‘Shrik ’ and ‘Haram’ and one must avoid this in order to protect his/her Eman.

In summary, all man-made idols/gods as dietary will be classified as ‘لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ’, however, Allah -azwj ’s Created angels -as , Prophets -as and Imam -asws cannot be deemed as ‘لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ’ as they -as are Created by Allah -azwj to perform certain duties as per Allah -azwj ’s Will and under His -azwj Instructions. [1] So their -as work is on behalf of Allah -azwj .

And Allah -azwj Approves them -as as being ‘الْوَسِيلَةَ’ (intermediary): In the Holy Quran, we find: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَابْتَغُوا إِلَيْهِ الْوَسِيلَةَ وَجَاهِدُوا فِي سَبِيلِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ {355:} O you who believe! Fear Allah and seek the intermediary to Him and strive hard in His Way, perhaps you would be successful [5:35] ابن شهر آشوب، قال: قال أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) في قوله تعالى: وَ ابْتَغُوا إِلَيْهِ الْوَسِيلَةَ: «أنا وسيلته».

Ibn Shehr Ashub who said, ‘Amir-Al-Momineen -asws said regarding the Words of the High and seek the intermediary to Him [5:35] : ‘I -asws am His -azwj intermediary (وسيلته)’. [2] The ‘salafis’ (Wahabis) used to be of the opinion that calling upon anyone besides Allah -azwj is ‘Shirk’ and one must not do so otherwise one becomes a ‘Mushrik’ (polytheist).
