The Doctrine of Tawassul (In the Light of Qur’ān)>>Argument No. 4: Relief
from distress through the
holy Prophet (SAW) on the
Day of Judgement>PART11
The Holy Prophet ( صلى الله
عليه وآله وسلم ) is the
dearest of Almighty Allah.
That’s why He blesses him the
most. As it is stated:
Soon your Lord shall appoint
you to the highest station in
Paradise (that is, that high
place of intercession where the
former and the latter ones will
return to him and glorify him).
[8]
[8]. Qur’ān (al-Isrā’) 17:79.
Maqām mahmūd is the high and
exalted place which is specified
for the Holy Prophet (صلى
الله عليه وآله وسلم ) on
the Day of Judgement as a
divine acknowledgement of his
glory and excellence. The
purpose of his elevation to the
high station is his intercession
for the believers. It is proved
by the Qur’ān and hadith that
this form of intercession is the
exclusive prerogative of the
Holy Prophet ( صلى الله
عليه وآله وسلم ). On the
Day of Judgement all the
people, suffering from the
agony of pain, will rally round
the Prophet ( صلى الله عليه
وآله وسلم ). They will
request him to plead their
case before Allah in order to
expedite the process of their
accountability to relieve them
of the agonizing punishment.
The undoubted and authentic
traditions support the view
that Allah, for the sake of His
Prophet ( صلى الله عليه
وآله وسلم ), will accelerate
the act of accountability. Thus
it is clear that even on the
Day of Judgement all the
people will make him as their
intermediary to place their plea
before Allah. This is the main
object of his appointment to
the specified high station in
Paradise which is mentioned in
this verse.
