Islam’s Stance on Tawassul
Assalamu'alaykum, Dear Scholars! I've been having a confusi on regarding tawassul. Some people say (especially the followers of sufi tariqahs) that we should seek to get to closer to Allah through the means of so called "awliya". They qoute the verse 35 of surah al-Ma'ida where Allah says: "wabtaghu ilayhi al-wasilah". What is the real meaning of this verse? Besides, can we use the tawassul of the dead good people including the prophets in our du'a? Jazakum Allahu khayran.
