WAHHÂBISM AND ITS REFUTATION BY THE AHL AS-SUNNA (III)
‘Istighâtha’ is what the Wahhâbîs oppose most: ‘to ask help or protection of someone other than Allâhu ta’âlâ,’ which they call polytheism. In fact, as all Muslims know, true istighâtha is only from Allâhu ta’âlâ. However, it is permissible to say metaphorically that one can do istighâtha from someone, for, it is declared in the 15th âyat of Sûrat al-Qassass: “People of his tribe did istighâtha from him against the enemy.” A hadîth sherîf says: “They will do istighâtha from Âdam ‘alaihis-salâm’ at the place of the Mahshar.” A hadîth sherîf quoted in al-Hisn al-hasîn, says: “He who needs help should say, ‘O Allâhu ta’âlâ’s slaves! Help me!’ ” This hadîth sherîf commands us to call for help from someone not near us.” Translation from the book al-Usûl-ul-arba’a ends here.
[Every word has a distinguishable meaning, which is called the real meaning of that word. The word will be called majâz when it is not used in its real meaning but in anyother meaning which can be related to it. When a word special to Allâhu ta’âlâ is used as majâz for human beings, Wahhâbî people will think that the word is being used in its real meaning. So, they will call a person who uses the word mushriq, or kâfir. But they should pay attention to the fact that these words are used as majâz in âyats and hadîth-i sherîfs for human beings.]
