Qaseedah Burdah - Thursday Majlis at Musjid Us Saliheen - Mufti Ebrahim Desai Saheb

Chapter 9:

The Shafa'ah (Intercession) of Rasullullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalaam

Mufti Saheb commenced his talk with the verse wherein Allah states Oh you who believe, fear Allah and seek a Waseelah ( Means) to Allah.
In this world of links and contacts, we adopt means to achieve our objectives. 
We have contact with the Municipality to get water and lights. We have contact with different networks to get data. The most effective way to attain the closeness to  Allah and forgiveness of  Allah is to seek the waseela of Rasullullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalaam. 
Mufti Saheb then explained the incident of a blind sahabi who's eyes were restored when he made dua through the waseela of Rasullullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalaam. 
Mufti Saheb then explained that Allamah Busairi was ill and lost all hope. He prepared poems in praises of Rasullullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalaam to invoke the mercy of Allah. 
Mufti Saheb then explained the relevant poems. He concluded with the Ahadith of Shafaah of Rasullullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalaam on the day of Qiyamat. He advised that we should recite the dua of waseela after Adhaan and adopt the Sunnah of Rasullullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalaam. That is the greatest Waseelah.
We make dua Allah grant us the Shafaah of Rasullullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalaam on the day of Qiyamah. Ameen.
