Statement: My intercessor is Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people, when you ask them about a certain matter, "Do you have an intermediary?" they say, "My intermediary is Allah." Is that sufficient or permissible?
Answer:
Allah is not to be used as an intermediary to a creation; this is not permissible. He is not to be used as an intermediary to a creation, nor is one to seek intercession through Allah against a creation. This is not permissible. Yes, Allah is greater than that. Yes, when a man said to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), "We seek intercession through Allah against you," the Messenger became angry and said, "Glory be to Allah, Glory be to Allah, Glory be to Allah." Then he said, "Do you know what Allah is? This is not permissible, for Allah is not to be used as an intercessor against any of His creation."
