Regarding Yaqoub and the act of bowing, Karbala, u seem quite knowledgable and certainly are aware that at certain times those acts were ok, but not any more. Would u care to search about the hadeeth in this regard?????
I am NOT knowledgable. I just know how to use google and the indexes at the back of books.
You are right "Sajdah Tazeem" was allowed in the Shariah of Prophets before but the Prophet of Mercy (saw) once and for all finally made haram "Sajdah Tazeem" in which one places there hands knees feet and head on the ground infront of anything or anybody but Allah (swt) regardless of Niyyat.
Sajdah Tazeem is haram but not shirk. Sajdah Ibadah is haram and shirk because it also includes niyyat for someone other than Allah (swt).
I dont know of any hadiths that directly prohibit Sajdah Tazeem. I think you guys will have to help me with that. Ill try looking to see if I can find one.
