Important terminology
about tawassul (توسل)
Whenever we discuss the
concept of intermediation we
should take into account four
factors, which are interlinked:
1. Wasīlah: mediation; the means
of approach.
2. Mutawassil: intermediatee; the
prayee who chooses his own
pious deed or a personage or
a place as a source of
intermediation in his prayer.
3. Mutawassal bihī:
intermediary; intermediator; an
object that is offered as a
source of intermediation to
Allah, for example, virtuous
deeds, saintly personages and
hallowed signs and acts
associated with them.
4. Mutawassal ilayh: Allah is the
Focus of all intermediation
because it is submitted to Him
Alone.
