Hi FHC,
I wish you will think and seriously reflect on what you have said, not for anybody's sake but for your own. Nobody knows who is better or worse than another, living or dead, besides our creator. Only Allah knows who are the rightoeus among his servants. We cannot logically give elevated status to any individual based on something only our creator knows. We have to leave the hearts and souls to Allah to judge, this is not our right.
Therefore, it is not going to benefit any person to invoke the dead to pray on ones behalf. The dead are in their graves waiting their judgement, but thanks to God you are still alive, and if you call on God, he will listen. In short, if you like to ask for mercy, guidance, or forgiveness, you should ask to no one but the one who can grant it to you.
I really feel like the commandment most frequently violated is the first commandment.
Thanks for listening,
May Allah guide us all to the right path and help us to become better human beings, Ameen.
Love, Jennifer
