The Correct Way to Make Tawassul || Kitab At-Tawheed

What is Tawassul in Islam, and what are the legislated and permissible forms of Tawassul? In this lesson, we continue and complete our explanation of legislated Tawassul (التوسل المشروع) and the correct ways a Muslim may seek nearness to Allah according to the Qur’an and Sunnah. This lesson is part of our Kitab al-Tawheed series and focuses on understanding Tawassul according to Islam, the meaning of Tawassul, the permissible types of Tawassul, and the principles that distinguish legislated Tawassul from forms of Tawassul that are not established in the Qur’an and authentic Sunnah. Many Muslims have heard terms such as Tawassul, Wasilah, intercession, seeking nearness to Allah, permissible Tawassul, prohibited Tawassul, and Du’a, but understanding the differences between these subjects requires returning to authentic Islamic evidence. In this lesson, you will learn about التوسل المشروع (legislated Tawassul), how Tawassul relates to Du’a, what makes a form of Tawassul permissible, and why understanding Tawheed is essential when discussing this subject. This lecture is especially beneficial for anyone studying Tawheed, Aqeedah, Kitab al-Tawheed, Islamic creed, Tawassul in Islam, types of Tawassul, permissible Tawassul, Du’a, Wasilah, worship of Allah, or the foundations of Islamic monotheism. 📚 Series: Kitab al-Tawheed 🎙️ Topic: Tawassul (التوسل) 📖 Lesson: Legislated Tawassul (التوسل المشروع) 🕌 Masjid Darut Tawheed Chicago Subscribe and follow the complete Kitab al-Tawheed lecture series for more lessons on Tawheed, Aqeedah, worship, Du’a, and other important matters every Muslim should understand. 00:00 – Introduction: The 3rd Category of Legislated Tawassul (Mentioning One's State & Need) 00:10 – Proof 1: The Supplication of Prophet Yunus (AS) (La ilaha illa Anta Subhanaka...) 01:38 – Ibn al-Qayyim (Al-Jawab al-Kafi): Acknowledging Weakness & Sins in Du'a 02:45 – Proof 2: The Du'a Taught to Abu Bakr (RA) by the Prophet ﷺ 04:45 – The Station of 'Ubudiyyah (True Servitude and Humility Before Allah) 06:35 – Having Good Expectations (Husn adh-Dhann) of Allah's Infinite Mercy 08:50 – Overcoming Arrogance & Relying Completely on Allah 10:35 – Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali (Jami' al-'Ulum wal-Hikam): Total Desperation in Supplication 11:45 – Summary & Conclusion of the Lesson
