What is the response to one who calls upon other than Allah and claims that he was answered?

Question:
He says: Some of the mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah) argue with divine decree against the Shari'ah, saying, "I called upon so-and-so, the wali (close friend of Allah), or I called upon al-Jilani, or al-Badawi, and I was answered." What is the answer to this?

Answer:
The fact that a need is met does not indicate permissibility. You are being tested and lured on. This is a case of being lured on, and a case of trial and examination. Also, the scholars say that perhaps this coincided with a time of response, or that you were in need and compelled, so Allah met your need. It was not because of the grave, but because you were compelled, so Allah met your need because you were compelled. This does not indicate that the need was met; look, it does not indicate permissibility, O brothers. There must be evidence. This is not evidence. This is a false doubt. Yes.
