Tawasul comes from the word "wasila" which in the Quran means seeking a nearness to Allah by doing acts that please Allah.

Tawasul that is praiseworthy:
- Using Allahs Names i.e. "Ya Rahman Forgive me", "Ya Razak increase me in my business..." etc.
- Tawasul with your good deeds i.e. "O Allah i gave water to my mother when she was thirsty, please forgive my sins" "Ya Rab i gave charity, increase me in wealth so i may give more" etc..
- Tawasul by asking a righteous person to make dua for you. -
Shirk in the Mask of Tawasul:
- Calling upon other than Allah for a need. While believing that the one being called upon will answer your need. Example: "Ya Rasulullah, increase our sustenance"
- Calling upon other than Allah for a need. While believing that only Allah will answer. Example: "Ya Rasulullah send us rain"
- Calling upon other than Allah, asking them to intercede for us. Example: "Ya Rasulullah, intercede for us"
- Calling upon Allahs Messenger [s], asking him to make dua for us.
All of these are major shirk that makes one a mushrik.Comment
