Is Tawassul Shirk?: On the validity of seeking intercession with God in Islam

Publisher: Hodhod Press
$14.00

This comprehensive treatise examines the controversial topic of tawassul (seeking intercession through the Prophet and other holy figures) in Islamic theology, directly addressing and refuting the claim that such practices constitute a form of polytheism or shirk. Through careful analysis of Qur'anic verses, authenticated hadith, and historical evidence, the author demonstrates how seeking intercession has been an accepted practice throughout Islamic history, embraced by all major schools of thought. The book systematically dismantles the theological arguments against tawassul, explains its deeper philosophical significance as an expression of monotheism rather than polytheism. Written with scholarly precision yet accessible to general readers, this work provides a thorough examination of a critical issue that continues to impact Muslim unity and the global perception of Islam.
