There is No Mediator Between Humans and Allah
The Quranic verses (2:186, 4:108, 7:56, 11:61, 20:46, 34:50, 40:60, 50:16, 56:85, 57:4, 58:7) affirm Islam’s clear belief that there is no intermediary between Allah and His servants.
Key Points:
- Direct Access to Allah:
Unlike other religions that often teach that humans cannot approach God directly, Islam declares that Allah is near to every individual and can be accessed directly without intermediaries. - Denouncing Exploitation:
Believing in mediators has historically led to exploitation in the name of spirituality, including financial and moral abuses. Islam eradicates this belief to prevent such injustices. - Equality and Personal Responsibility:
- Islam teaches that everyone is equal before Allah, and only personal conduct elevates one above another.
- Requests and prayers must be directed to Allah alone, without involving others, who are also His creations and servants.
- Equality and Brotherhood:
References to Islam’s principles of equality and brotherhood can be found in additional texts (e.g., 11, 32, 59, 141, 168, etc.). - Critique of Practices like Dargah Worship:
Arguments supporting practices like Dargah worship are refuted in Islamic teachings, as seen in references like 17, 41, 79, 83, 100, 104, etc.
Islam emphasizes personal connection with Allah, eliminating all forms of exploitation or dependence on intermediaries in spirituality.
