Bismillah: Assalamo Alikum.
Quote:OK wel_mel_2 it doesn't look like we are going to agree. I provided you with some Ayats of Quran and Hadith supporting my view. I wish you would do the same as well.
The gates and walls of the mosque of the Prophet (saw) and al-Baqee are holy because they enclose the remains of the most sublime of humans to have ever lived. Those walls are the closest I will ever physically get to my Prophet(saw) and his Holy Ahlulbayt. All I wanted to do is show my Prophet (saw) and his holy Family my respect and love. Why is that so wrong?
You see brother, regarding Prophet Yusuf pbuh, I too do not mind to bow down to my parents and even kiss their feets out of respect, but after they die, am never going to prostrate to their graves, but I will always keep them in my Du’a.
Plus, the Prophet pbuh taught us how to visit the grave yards, he used to say those words only.
<b>Peace be upon you, inmates of the abodes of the believers and the Muslims, and Allah willing, we will follow you. I pray to Allah for well-being for ourselves and for you. </b>
He did not stop by a particular grave to offer supplication, he did not kiss any of the graves of his wives or daughter although he respected and loved them alot… but his Du’a was for all the believers in general, and so in my humble opinion, we should follow his way and only his way.
I still insist that there is nothing holy about some walls were built hundreds of years after the demise of these great human beings. And I still insist that following their footsteps is the greatest way to show them respect and reverence.
Brother I hope that I did not offend you in anyway.
Salam
Wael.
