Not only your mother, a large number of the Muslims have been used to saying in their supplications for centuries such things as:

'O Allaah by the right of your Prophet...,' or

'by the right of the Sacred House...forgive me.;

'O Allaah by the right of the Awliyaa and the pious, and so and so etc.' Or

'O Allaah by the honour of the men of Allaah to You, and by the honour of those in whose presence we are, and under whose assistance we exist, relieve us and the distressed from all distress'

It is because of misinterpretation of the following Verse of the Qur'an.

Allah says in the Qur’aan:

“O you who believe! Do your duty to Allah and fear Him. Seek the means of approach (al-Waseelah) to Him, and strive hard in His Cause as much as you can. So that you may be successful.”[Soorah al-Maidah (5): 35]

Al-waseelah in the  present context  means that [b]you draw near to Him by obedience to Him and through actions that are pleasing to Him.[/b] (as explained by Ibn Abbas RA and Qatadah RA and recorded by Ibn Kathir)

It does not mean directly supplicating to the dead saints.

It also does not mean seeking ‘Tawassul’ through the status and honor of the Prophets and saints,

as these two interpretations are inventions of Sufis.

[b]Tawassul in the Qur’aan and the Sunnah[/b]:

The correct means of Tawassul are three…

1. Tawassul by means of Allah’s Beautiful Names,

2. Tawassul by means of righteous deeds of the supplicant and,

3. Tawassul by means of a supplication made by a righteous (living) person.

For a detailed explanation of these three methods in the light of Qur'an and Sunnah, please click on the following link.[/blue]

[blue]Please read and understand the matter thoroughly and then try to explain to your mother. Insha Allah she will agree with you.

If the link does not work please inform me so that I shall copy and paste the Verses and Ahadith in support of the above three approved methods of Tawassul Insha Allah.[/blue]
