الدعاء لله Dua is Due to Allah مع أنَّ الله ماذا قال؟ Although, what did Allah say? وقال ربُكم أدعوني أستجب لكم.. سبحان الله.. “Your Lord has proclaimed ‘Call upon Me, I will respond to you,’” (Ghafir: 60) Glorified is Allah. أمر بالدعاء ووعد بالاستجابة فلماذا يُدعى غيره؟ Allah has ordered us to make Dua (i.e. prayer), and He promised to respond. Then, why would Dua be made to others beside Allah? مع أنَّ الله عز وجل يقول: (وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ ۖ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ ۖ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا لِي وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا بِي لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ).. Even though Allah says “When My servants ask you (O Prophet) about Me: I am near. I respond to one’s prayer when they call upon Me. So, let them respond (with obedience) to Me and believe in Me, perhaps they will be guided (to the Right Way).” (Al-Baqara: 186) قريب ويُجيب دعوة الداعي إذا دعاه، (Allah) is near and responds to one’s prayer when he calls upon Him. وهو الذي أمر أن ندعوه ووعد بالاستجابة، فلماذا يُدعى غيره؟! And He is the One who ordered us to make Dua and promised to respond, so why would Dua be made to others beside Him? قال النبي ﷺ: لغُلام (يُعلمه التوحيد)، قال يا غُلام: احفظ الله يحفظك، احفظ الله تجده تجاهك، إذا سألت فـاسأل الله، وإذا استعنت فاستعن بالله.. The Prophet, peace be upon him said: “O lad, be mindful of Allah and He will protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you shall find Him with you. When you ask (for anything), ask it from Allah, and if you seek help, seek help from Allah. تجد هؤلاء ما فهموا هذا التوحيد العظيم الذي كان النبي ﷺ يُعلمه حتى الصغار أن يدعوا الله عز وجل وحده لا شريك له.. نعم You find that those did not comprehend this great Tawhid (the oneness of Allah) that the Prophet, peace be upon him, was teaching even young people; to make Dua only to Allah the Exalted without any partners.
