Allah and His Messenger will soon give us out of their Kindness : And at another place Allah -azwj Says (9:74) [6] : “…… And they only stayed in opposition because Allah and His Messenger enriched them out of His grace …..;.

It seems I have never read or heard someone reciting these Verses of the holy Quran before.” Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq -asws said: “No, its not like this!

You have not only heard these Verses before but also have read them. However, Allah -azwj Says for you and people like you (47:24): “Will they then not meditate on the Qur’an, or are there locks on the hearts?” and Says (83:14) [7] : “Nay, but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts. Skirk and Wasillah There are several Verses in Holy Quran where use of ‘Wasillah/Tawassul’ has been suggested and applied. We present some of those below.
