As we have seen in our last few posts, doing du’aa to other than Allaah is shirk and futile. Even though this is a fundamental principle of Islaam, the Tablighi Jamaat promote calling out to the Prophet (saw) and complaining to him about one’s needs. The following story from Fazaa’il-e-A’maal shows this:

Hazrat Ibn Jalaa relates, “While in Madeenah, I once suffered tremendous hunger. It became so unbearable that I presented myself at the grave of the Messenger of Allaah (saw) and said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, I suffer great hunger. I am now your guest.‘

Thereafter, sleep overtook me and in a vision, I saw the Messenger of Allaah (saw) give me a piece of bread. I ate half of it and when I woke up, I found myself with the other half of that piece of bread still in my hands.”

[Fazaa’il-e-Amaal, ch.9, p.178]
