5.35

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَ ابْتَغُوْۤا اِلَیْهِ الْوَسِیْلَةَ وَ جَاهِدُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِهٖ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُوْنَ(35)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

O you who believe! Fear Allah, seek the means of nearness (wasīlah) to Him,[1] and perform Jihad in His way that you may attain success.

Commentary

[1]

Here, the term “wasīlah” refers to that through which one attains the nearness of Allah Almighty. The Quranic instruction is to attain the nearness of Allah Almighty through obligatory or voluntary acts of worship. Just as it is valid to use one’s righteous deeds as means and intermediaries to attain something from Allah Almighty, it is also correct to take righteous people intermediaries. The Companions utilised the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and his uncle Sayyiduna ʿAbbas رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ as intermediaries.
