Tawassul
Tawassul, linguistically means to take a means, taking a way.
Technically, tawassul means to take a way to Allaah subhaanahu wa ta’ala via someone or something.
If one wants to make a du’aa` to Allaah, they can ask Him directly, or to reassure oneself that Allaah will listen to their prayer or respond quicker is by using the means of something else to Allaah subhaanahu wa ta’ala, like saying “O Allaah, I did such and such deed for Your sake alone, so recompense me by granting me something that I ask You of.”

Lesson 04
[Tawassul]
The goal of the Prophet sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam was ‘Uboodeeyyah itself, to call people to worship Allaah subhaanahu wa ta’ala alone. Worship is everything – beliefs, utterance and actions.
Our mission and our motto in life is the same as the Prophet sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, “I have been ordered to fight against people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammed is the Messenger of Allaah and until they perform the prayers and pay the zakaah…” [Bukhaari and Muslim]
Legislation for Allaah alone is a big part of ‘Uboodeeyyah, no doubt, but it is not a goal in and of itself; the goal of the Prophet sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam was ‘Ulooheeyyah as a whole.

I begin in the Name of Allaah, the most Merciful, the One Who bestows Mercy

Lesson 03
[ Tawheed al-'Ulooheeyah ]
Tawheed al-’Ulooheeyah is to single out Allaah subhaanahu wa ta’ala in terms of worship. This is the most important and fundamental aspect of Islaam.
If someone says, “tell me in one second, what is Islaam all about?”
Then the quick, summarized, reply would be, “Worshipping Allaah Alone”.
This is what makes a person a Muslim and this is what distinguishes a person from being a Muslim and a kaafir.
Most of the entire creation believes in Tawheed ar-Ruboobeeyah, but where they differ is in Tawheed al-’Ulooheeyah.
The father of the prophet sallaAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam was called ‘Abdullaah!

Examples of the Usage of Qiyaas in ‘Aqeedah
Al-Qiyaas al-Awla with respect to Allaah, which is analogy via priority. We make qiyaas when we say that it is considered to be a good thing or perfection for man to be described with wisdom, then by way of al-Qiyaas al-Awla, Allaah is more deserving to be described with Wisdom.
