Which establishment of the Jews and Christians exactly are spoken about? The ones where tombs are made “places of worship”? What did the Jews and Christians actually do in such places?

I note - you have not bothered to even contest my earlier claim about your line of thinking justifying the desecration of graves.

Because you have demonstrated your inability to use Sibaak u Siyaak (a major component in understanding Arabic may I add) in understanding Arabic text and accused the translator - which was not me - of a wrong translation when your own is which is wrong.

Second, you all your facts wrong. Re read.

At the time of al-Waleed ibn ‘Abd al-Malik he wrote to his governor in Madeenah, who was ‘Umar ibn ‘Abd al-‘Azeez, in 88 AH, ordering him to dismantle the Prophet’s Mosque and add to it the rooms of the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). ‘Umar gathered the prominent people and fuqaha’, and read the letter of the caliph al-Waleed to them. That caused them distress, and they said: “Leave it as it is, that is better.” And it was narrated that Sa’eed ibn al-Musayyib denounced the incorporation of ‘Aa’ishah’s room into the mosque, as if he feared that the grave would be taken as a place of worship.

Then read what Ibn Hajar said in this thread.

It is always good to first consult classical texts and what all scholars have said before jumping with both feet into an situation. The bias of vroom and his inability to be unbiased in front of facts is apparent. I hope you won’t turn out like him. Until then I have no time to answer your questions as they are not based on facts of Hadith and History. Sorry.

And your incorrect facts are further demonstrated by the following.

Furthermore, that hadith does not have anything to do with “building” masajid, but rather about “appointing” (ittakhadza) graves of prophets as worshipful … i.e. doing worship - specifically sajdah on graves. This is a forbidden practice …

However, to equate this with the act of building masajid near to graves is wrong and a convoluted accusation. Had it taken that meaning then the Salaf would have made sure RasoolAllah (SAW) would be buried well away from the Madinah harum. That is equivalent to claiming better knowledge than them too.

And if after the thread I posted above you are still confused I suggest you pick up a book on Usool Al-Fiqh and first understand blocking the means because I do not have time to teach you all that as well. Until then you can post your opinion but as far as I am concerned I will not be entertaining it. My threads are not for debate or discussion but for the unbiased reader to realize what Islam is.

You believe in building graves, I won’t be losing sleep over it. I will be calling a spade a spade and you really can’t stop that since this is a public forum just like I cannot stop your incorrect views about graves and Istigathaa.
