So the Signs of Allah -azwj is not Allah -azwj ...
So the Signs of Allah -azwj is not Allah -azwj , (here it will mean that Rasool-Allah -saww did not see Allah -azwj ) and He -azwj had Said [20:110] and they do not comprehend Him in knowledge . So if the visions were to see Him -azwj , so they would have comprehended Him -azwj in knowledge, and the recognition would occur’ (an extract).
[11] Hence, is used in two meanings ‘ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ ’ for seeking Wasila (intercession) of those who are not Appointed by Allah -azwj , i.e., man-made idols, fake imams, but excluding those who are Nominated by Allah -azwj as a Door/Path to Him -azwj , i.e., Masoom Prophet -as and Imams -asws .
The second meanings of ‘لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ’ would apply when it comes to the Self of Allah ‘‘ذَاتِ اللَّهِ’’ , here ‘لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ’ would mean ‘not Allah’, i.e., the word ‘Allah’ is not – Allah -azwj ’s Self. Introduction: Here we present a Hadith from Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq -asws , when Abu Hanifa objected to him -asws for thanking Rasool-Allah -saww along with Allah -azwj after eating food.
