Muharamat!

[Shereen]

One of the forms of shirk which is particularly widespread in Muslim countries is:


Grave-worship[/b



Some of those who worship graves walk around them as if in Tawaaf, and acknowledge their corners, or touch them, kiss them, wipe their faces with their dust, prostrate towards them when they see them, or stand before them in fear and humility, praying for whatever they need of healing from some disease, or for a child, or for help with some difficulty. Sometimes they call upon the occupant of the grave, saying “O my master, I have come to you from far away, so do not let me down.”



But Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):



“And who is more astray than one who calls (invokes) besides Allaah such as will not answer him till the Day of Resurrection, and who are (even) unaware of their calls (invocations) to them?” [al-Ahqaaf 46:5]

astag firulah.....iam aware of that......in my country & in some other Muslim coutries too i've seen ppl doing that with much enthusiasm........



I think what these ppl need is a 'clear' information & education about Islam.....
<b>because believe me there r mullahs in our country which make wrong statements about Islam & about Sunnah & evenrything.
</b>.......ppl don't go anywhere else as a sourse of Sunnah & education......they just believe what other illeterate ppl tell them



This is indeed Shirk......& by doing that they might be thinking that they are getting 'closer' to Allah..........but infact they r getting far away from Allah
