A critique of Othman Al-Khamis's theory that considers Tawasul (invocation), Imploration to anyone rather than Allah examples of infidelity

Abstract:
In the beginning of this writing the reasons behind the assertion of excommunication are discussed and circumstance of ignorance and false understanding of the religious rules are propounded as major reasons. The writer holds that some individuals, such as Othman Al-Khamis who call themselves proselytizers of Islam, have gone astray asserting that some of the Muslims are infidel because of imploring to living humans for solving some of their problems, problems which no one can solve except for Allah. These individuals even excommunicate the Muslims who invocate and implore to the Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H) himself. And this sin is unforgivable and the one who commits it is infidel. Based on verses, narrations and the life story of the early pious Muslims, the writer asserts that invocation to the Holy Prophet of Islam (P.B.U.H) and saints of Allah is permissible and Sheikh Othman Al-Khamis is mistaking because he cannot differentiate between the independent and acquired power of Prophet of Islam (P.B.U.H) and saints of Allah, that is why he considers all the Muslims infidel. The critic holds that, if one believes in the fact that there is a person, dead or alive, who has independent power and can solve problems without the help of Allah, he is an infidel. But if someone believes that the miracles done by Saints of Allah, are with the permission and power received from Allah, and invocation to these people is in fact invocation to Almighty Allah, he not only is an polytheist but also he is a true monotheist.
