As stated above, seeking refuge in Allah through the waseelah of the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam is permissible. Response: We know that the author (Allamah Busaiyri Rahimahullah) had correct Aqaa’id, hence we must interpret these verses in line with his Aqeedah. Objection: Tawheed demands that we seek refuge in Allah alone, then why does the author state taking refuge in Rasulullah Sallallhu Alayhi Wasallam in the various challenges of life? Translation: “Time did not frustrate me with oppression and I took refuge through Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam), except that I received support from Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) which was not abused.” Translation: “I revive the dead with the permission of Allah” Almighty Allah refers to the Mu’jizah of Isa (Alayhis Salaam), Surah Maaidah, Verse 49, The Quran and Ahadith are replete with such Mu’jizaat of Rasulullah (Sallalhu Alayhi Wasallam). If Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) would call out to the dead and they would come to life, that would be a Mu’jizah with the order of Allah. It is our Aqeedah (belief) that prophets performed Mu’jizaat with the order of Allah. If the Mu’jizaat of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) would be equivalent to his status, then IF he would call to decaying bones to come to life, they would come to life. While he performed many Mu’jizaat (miracles), his status is far beyond the many Mu’jizaat he performed.
The verse is in the context of expressing the greatness of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). The objection is based on an incorrect understanding of the verse. This is calling out to besides Almighty Allah. The objection raised is that the author is saying that if one were to call out, O Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam(, resurrect the bones, they would be resurrected. Translation: “ If the Mu’jizaat of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) were in proportion to his greatness, then, when his name would have been called out, it would bring decaying bones back to life.”
do not exaggerate as the Christians exaggerated. The Christians exaggerated in praising Isa (Alayhis Salaam), the poet clearly states leave that out! i.e. “ Discard what the Christians claimed about their Prophets” In actual fact, the verse clearly prohibits such exaggeration. Response: It is clear to anyone with an adequate understanding of the Arabic language that while we proclaim the excellency of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) in relation to previous Rasul’s, we will not trespass the limits of moderation and elevate him to the position of Allah as the Christians did with Isa (Alayhis Salaam).
Objection: This verse implies that it is permissible to exaggerate the praises of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). “And attribute whatever excellence you want to the personality of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam), and attribute whatever greatness you wish to the personality of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)” Translation: “Discard what the Christians claimed about their Prophets, then you decree and praise Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) in any way after that.” Some of the explanations provided here have been reproduced verbatim from Mufti Sahebs commentary. All translations have been taken from the commentary of the Qaseeda Burdah by my beloved ustaad, Mufti Ebrahim Desai Saheb (Hafidhahullah). We will answer in the sequence of the objections.
