plz help regarding Tawassul

[Muslimah]

Bismillah


as salam alykom alli


I was holding on on this subject for sucha long time, trying to seek Allah's Help to express the correct answer.


Now going to a certain person asking him/her for dua, is actually like almost established when drought inflicted upon Muslims in Median. They suggested that he asks Al Abbas, the Messenger's uncle to pray and makes dua for rain which he did. But what did he say in his dua? he precisely said O Allah we know that You Dont Send down a trial or a test on some people except due to their sins and You Dont lift it off except thru repentence O Allah Grant us repentence.


If u can see well, he didnt ask any one but Allah. however at the same time, I must and I like to <b>stress and confirm and assure </b>that only Allah Knows whose supplication is certainly granted by Him.


Like Prophet Mussa salla Allah A`lyhee wa sallam asked Allah O Allah what is YOur reply to an obedient servant who says Sobhan Rubiya AlAzeem while bowing in prayer? Allah Said I Say Labyaka A`bdee meaning Here I Am for u My servant.


Mussa said and what is your reply when the servant is a sinful one? Allah Say I Say Labyaka Labyaka Labyaka A`bdee so that the servant would not think that due to his/her sins I would not listen or grant his dua.


I dont have the source of this now but as far as I remember it is a hadeeth qodsi.


Now the issue is that dua is the brain of worship in other words the core of worship. we must all do it, besides the Messenger salla Allah A`lyhee wa sallam encouraged us to ask each other for dua since actually we dont know whose dua is always granted.


As for the hadeeth, brother when u use this form of dua u actually dont put the Messenger salla Allah A`lyhee wa sallam as equal to Allah, u r still asking only Allah and no one else. when u say inni atwajahu elyaka benabee Mohamed. It means I am directing myself to You in other words I am seeking your Help the benabeyee here means with, or u can say with your Love to him..


That is all I can think of now Insh a Allah I will try to come up with more.
