1.Please explain the correct belief that we should have in Rasullah SAW. Is he alive in his grave? Did he pass away like regular humans. 2. Please explain the concept of tasawul in islam. That is invoking Allah help through the means of some pious people. People say that this was done at the time of Rasullah and Sahabah.
1. Haazir (Omnipresent) and Naazir (Omniseeing) are the sole attributes of
Allah.
No human being including our Nabiy (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) can be
Haazir and Naazir. Our beloved Rasul (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) is
resting in Madinah Munawwarah. He informed us that when anyone sends Salaams
to him, the angels convey the Salaam to him there.
2. Hadhrat Umar (Radhiallaahu Anhu) used to make Du’aa for rain through the
Waseela of Hadhrat Abbas (Radhiallaahu Anhu), the uncle of Rasulullah
(Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam). However, in view of the misconception in
Waseela, it is important to note that it is not permissible to make Du’aa to
anybody besides Allah.
and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
