In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Grave Worshipers

And
your Lord says: "Call on Me; I will answer your
(Prayers). (Al_Quraan_040.060)
(Ask directly from Allah for
all help. No need to do shirk. Only Ya Allah Help)
For
verily thou (Muhammad)
canst not make the dead to hear, nor canst thou make the deaf to hear
your call
when they have turned to flee. [Al_Quraan_030.052]
(Rasool
Allah
SAW cannot make the dead or deaf to hear.)
If ye
pray unto them they
hear you not your prayer, and if they heard they could not grant it
you. On the
Day of Resurrection they will disown association with you. None can
inform you
like Him Who is Aware. [Al_Quraan_035.014]
(Even you
cannot make the them to hear.)
Sujood
as meaning means touching your head on the ground in front of anyone,
it
doesn't have anything to do with heart. That's the meaning of Sujood.
Brother
do you understand meaning of Intercession?
In
dictionary meaning of Intercession: Entreaty in favor of another,
especially a
prayer or petition to God in behalf of another.
You
are talking about reference, but you give reference when you approach
the main
person you don't go to office of someone who you are giving reference
of.
Anyway,
so what you do is intercession, right. Do you believe in Quraan?
If
you do please read the verse below with your open heart and open mind,
you will
know.
They
serve besides Allah things that hurt them not nor profit them
and they say: "These are our
intercessors with Allah." Say: "Do ye indeed
inform Allah of something He knows not in the heavens or on
earth? Glory
to Him! and far is He above the partners they ascribe (to Him)!"
The
word above used is not worship but serve, now going to grave of someone
"who cannot hurt you nor can profit you" is called serve them, you
serve them because they will take you closer to Allah and be your
intercessor
with Allah and they are your intercessors you say, right?
But
Allah clearly says, you are making partners with him, he would not
accept this,
this is totally unacceptable to Allah, so why do you want to do
something that
is totally unacceptable to Allah, whether you bow your head in respect
or in
worship. What is the problem if you bow your head in front of Allah
instead of
going to these grave, how in the world will it help you, but as above
verse is
very clear it may hurt you as Allah may not like your act.
Be
smart to yourself and stop these practices.
He is
the living (One): There is no god but He: Call upon Him
giving Him sincere devotion. Praise be to Allah Lord of the
Worlds! 66 Say: "I have been
forbidden to invoke those whom ye invoke besides Allah seeing that the
Clear
Signs have come to me from my Lord: and I have been
commanded to bow (in Islam) to
the Lord of the Worlds."
Allah
says we have to be only devotees of Allah and not one else, don't you
see these
people going to the grave of others are devotees of those graves too?
Allah
says call upon me giving him sincere devotion. Brother signs are very
clear,
read Quraan and understand it you will know Allah has clearly forbidden
these
thing.
O ye
who believe! bow down prostrate
yourselves and adore
your Lord; and do
good; that ye may prosper.
See
what Allah is saying Allah is asking you to bow to him, don't be like
those who
have lost their way. Still brother there is no were in Quraan or Hadith
that
you can make these people your intercessors with Allah, Allah will only
allow
intercessors on day of Judgment who so ever he pleases, even there he
was kept
his reservation, please don't underestimate Allah and do wrong to
yourself.
Is it
not to Allah that sincere devotion is due? But those who
take for protectors other than Allah (say): "We only serve
them in order that they may bring us nearer to Allah." Truly Allah
will judge between
them in that wherein they differ. But Allah guides
not such as are false
and ungrateful.
Brother
look at the above verse it's very clear, only devotion is due to Allah,
you as
human have no right to give devotion to anyone else, and those who take
for
protectors other than Allah as some people claim, you only serve the
grave so that
the dead person in the grave might bring you closer to Allah, please
don't be a
false person and ungrateful, love Allah because he is your creator and
read
Quraan.
Follow
(O men!) the revelation given unto
you from your Lord and follow not as friends or protectors other than
Him.
Little it is ye remember of admonition.
He
merges Night into Day and He merges Day into Night and He has
subjected the sun and the moon (to His Law): each one runs its course
for a
term appointed. Such
is Allah your
Lord: to Him belongs all Dominion.
And
those whom ye invoke besides Him have not the least power.
Say:
"Shall I seek for judge other than Allah? when He it is
Who hath sent unto you the Book explained in detail."
They know full well to whom We have given
the Book that it hath been sent down from thy Lord in truth. Never be then of those who
doubt.
The
Word of thy Lord doth find its fulfillment in truth and in
justice: none can change His Words: for He is the one who heareth and
knoweth
all.
Wert
thou to follow the common run of those on earth they will
lead thee away from the Way of Allah.
They follow nothing but conjecture: they do nothing but
lie.
if
Quraan cannot convince you nothing will, open your heart toward Allah,
because
to him will you return and if you haven't gone through the manual he
has sent
you and understood it properly for sure Allah will not like it.
Seek
forgiveness from Allah and come to the right path that Our beloved
Rasool Allah
(S.A.W.S) showed us don't follow other people as they will only lead to
away
from the truth.
