The Doctrine of Tawassul (In the Light of Qur’ān)>>Argument No. 3:
Intermediation through the
holy Prophet (SAW)>PART10

There is another verse, which
makes permissible to seek
means of approach to Allah. As
it is said:
(O beloved!) And if they had
come to you, when they had
wronged their souls, and asked
forgiveness of Allah, and the
Messenger also had asked
forgiveness for them, they (on
the basis of this means and
intercession) would have found
Allah the Granter of
repentance, extremely Merciful.
[7]
[7]. Qur’ān (an-Nisā’) 4:64.


This Qur’ānic verse commands
all the believers to rely on the
mediation of the Holy Prophet
( صلى الله عليه وآله
وسلم) in order to have their
sins and lapses condoned by
Allah. The relevance of this
verse is not limited to his
actual life on this earth but it
also applies to his life after
death. The exegetes and other
leading scholars have also
explained the meanings of the
verse at length which will be
dealt with elaborately in the
third section of fifth chapter.
