Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Salafi Disease of Literalism Asking Allah Directly, Or Asking Allah Indirectly Through Rasul'allah(saww) Introduction The Salafi Self Invented Logic is this that Allah can Only be Asked Directly. And it is Shirk to believe that Allah has put some Mediums between Him and His creatures. They say: If Allah is (naudo-billah) Deaf that He cannot hear us directly? Or if He is blind that He cannot see us?

When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me: So Salafi logic is, if Allah is so near to us, and when He can hear us, and when He has all the powers, ... then why to look at others to approach to Him. For them, Allah has not put any barriers between Him and His creature, and can be approached directly. Our Response: Salafi are only selective in quoting the Qur'an.

They are not taking the whole Qur'an and Sunnah into consideration and they are only following their logic, while we follow the Logic of Qur'an. Let us see the whole message of Qur'an and then let us decide what is the truth.

If they had only, when they were unjust to themselves, come unto thee and asked Allah's forgiveness, and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah indeed Oft-returning, Most Merciful. All the Mufassireen of Qur'an (including the Salafi Mufassireen) are unanimous that this verse was revealed when some of the Sahaba made a severe mistake. Afterwards, they realized their mistake and wanted to do Tawba (asking forgiveness from Allah for their sin).

And they asked Allah DIRECTLY for the forgiveness. But look carefully, how Allah responded: Allah rejected to accept their DIRECT request of forgiveness.
