49. There is no intermediary (middlemen) for God.
These verses of the Quran (2:186, 4:108, 7:56, 11:61, 20:46, 34:50, 40:60, 50:16, 56:85, 57:4, 58:7) deny very clearly the existence of an intermediary between God and man. Such a concept is alien to Islamic ideology. People in general, nurture a belief that it is not easy to approach God. Except Islam all other religions propagate this concept.
It is at this juncture of the concept, that God cannot be approached easily, the intermediary steps in, and swindle people in the name of God.
The foremost reason, for all fraudulent activities taking place in the name of spiritualism, and women losing their honor is this wrong concept of believing in the existence of an intermediary for God.
But Islam demolishes this belief and declares that God is very close to men and can be approached very easily. All swindling done in the name of spiritualism can be eradicated by this concept.
Every person should ask God directly their needs and not through an intermediary. It should be remembered even the intermediary is a slave of God.
Every human is equal by birth, and only by acts and deeds can one be higher than another. Please refer explanation points11, 32, 59, 141, 168, 182, 227, 290, 368, 508, to know more about equality and brotherhood in Islam.
