Tawassul is an Arabic word originated from wa-sa-la- wasilat ((アラビア語:وسيلة-وسل)). The ''wasilah'' is a means by which a person,goal or objective is approached, attained or achieved. In another version of the meaning of tawassul in another text: Tawassul is an Arabic word that comes from a verbal noun, wasilah, which according to Ibn Manzur (d. 711/1311) in Lisān al-'Arab means "a station with King, a rank, or act ofdevotion. In other words, it refers to a position of power due to one's proximity to the king or sovereign.〔 While the ''tawassul'' or ''tawassulan'' is the use of wasilah for this purpose.〔 In religious contexts,the ''tawassul'' is the use of a wasilah to arrive at or obtain favour of Allah.〔 We can find various examples of ''tawassul'' in the Books of Hadith.One good example is found in well-known hadith of the young men trapped in a cave whose mouth was covered by a stone: Each of them prays to God by mentioning some acts that he did for God's sake, in hopes that it might cause his prayer to be accepted.〔 This is a good example of doing ''tawassul'' with one's good action. ==Origin== The most frequently cited of those verses of the Quran in which the word ''wasilah'' appears is: ''O you who believe! be careful of (your duty to) Allah and seek means (wasilah) of nearness to Him and strive hard in His way that you may be successful'' (Q5:35) The meaning of the term ''wasilah'' in the above verse according to Albani is a thing that is used to obtain closeness and favour of Allah.〔 According to some classical commentators, including the great Sufi exegetes, such as al-Qushayri (d. 465/1074) explain the use of ''al-wasilah'' in this verse to mean avoiding what is prohibited,fulfiling what is enjoined on us, and drawing near to God through good actions.〔 Both Raghib Isfahan and Sayyid Muhammad Husayn Tabataba'i opine that ''al-wasilah'' means to reach a certain goal through desire, inclination and willingness, and in fact wasilah towards God means observance of His path with knowledge and worship through adherence to the Sharia. In another verse of the Qur'an that confirmed legality of tawassul (intercession) states: It can be deduced from the verse above that intercession (tawassul) is only with the "permission" of Allah.〔(Sunni Hanbali Position from Islam Tomorrow )〕 Also, the practice of seeking intercession began during the time of prophet Muhammad.〔Al Rifai Al Salafi At Tawassol Ila Haqiqat al Tawassul P:158. الرفاعي المعاصر: التوصل إلى حقيقة التوسل〕 An oft-cited Hadith in support of this is one narrated from Uthman ibn Hunaif regarding a blind man who Muslims believe was healed through the process.
