Description

Every soul has an inborn yearning to love and worship Our Creator. The mercy and love of Almighty is far beyond the need that the blood of innocence, or the blood of Muhammed, Jesus or Abraham (peace be upon them) should be shed for the salvation of anyone.

Almighty loves to pardon and none can question him. A mother always judges her infant child to be innocent. God's mercy exceeds the mercy of a mother, God loves his creation.

"We (Allah) have created mankind, and are aware of what he whispers to his inner self, and we (Allah) are more closer to him than his jugular vein" (Qur’an sura qaaf verse 16)

In the Bible (Hosea 6:6) we read:

FOR IN LOVING KINDNESS I (GOD) HAVE TAKEN DELIGHT AND NOT IN SACRIFICE.

Salvation and thus eternal happiness can be achieved by sincere worship. When a person sins he or she pushes themselves away from the mercy of God, however sincere repentance brings a person back to God.  

Salvation is a powerful word that the dictionary defines as the act of preservation or deliverance from destruction, difficulty, or evil.  Theologically it is spiritual rescue from sin and its consequences. Glasses become intermediaries between the eyes and things. Hearing aids become intermediaries between the ears and the sounds. As intermediaries, they serve those with ordinary eyes and ears to see and hear better. Similarly, if qualified and capable people become intermediaries between the realities and ordinary people, they increase those people’s knowledge and virtues. Their spiritual lives become orderly and tidy. Ordinary people cannot see the naked realities and cannot perceive them. They can understand the realities only through some means.

The similes, metaphor and usual examples in the Quran are holy and transparent means like eyeglasses or binoculars between men and the realities that are difficult to perceive.

Therefore, to deny the means (wasila) means to deny wisdom, help, benefit, order, goodness and affair. It is an attitude contrary to creation and reality. So, mediation is a divine approbation that establishes the connection with reality like transparent glass, and that puts the relationships in order.

“One person who possesses a spiritual station can influence one thousand people; but one thousand people, without such a state, cannot affect even one person.”

Furthermore, A karamah (miracle) of a saint is defined by the scholars as khariq al-ʿādah (a breaking of the natural course of events). By affirming the miracles of saints, we affirm that the natural laws we take as a given, such as gravity, fire burning wood, the need for sleep and food, and the sun rising from the east, are created by God, and that God can will for them to be broken and has ultimate power to do so. In other words, by affirming the miracle, we are affirming the complete sovereignty of God.
