first of all … you quoted: “Whoever prays for me at my grave”
and then you wrote: " No one prays to prophets or aulia…may be a few who are ignorant"
what is your description of a shaheed?
and the things that you’ve written in bold … i am sorry i have to disagree with it completely. this is what t he christians do … pray through someone … like maria, or jesus … only God knows if the earth has been forbidden to consume bodies of the prophets, cuz i cant go digging … i cant believe a hadith saying “go pray at my grave” … why?
the Prophets didnt allow people to come pray to them when they were alive … they didnt take chits from people with their requests to pray for everyone to Allah … so why when they are “dead”?
the prophets taught us to pray to Allah becuz only He can hear out prayers, and we can only ask Him for mercy …
you have the right to disagree with me … but to me … i consider it shirk to go pray to anyone/anything else … even if it is written in hadith … becuz hadith is not a higher word than the Quran …
islamic history is full of incidents where the Prophet(p.b.u.h) was faced with arguments like … how can we leave the traditions of our ancestors and start following the God that you have brought to us …
and now i hear the same thing hear again … as if we’ve gone way back before islam … and saying things like … kaisay chor dein nizam-ud-aulia ka daman aur 1400 ki tradition … i mean .. come on!
