Can You Call Upon The Dead in Islam?! A Conversation With Shia

from Muslim Lantern - Official · host The Muslim Lantern

Muhammed argues that while Ali is respected in Islam as one of the best companions, Muslims must not call upon him in dua or seek aid from him, as this constitutes shirk (association of partners with Allah). He emphasizes that the Quran explicitly commands believers to call upon Allah alone, and that dua is itself an act of worship that must be directed solely to Allah. He warns that attributing divine attributes to Ali—such as all-knowing, hearing all languages, or answering prayers—is a fundamental deviation that takes one outside the fold of Islam, regardless of one's claim to believe in the Quran.
