DR ZAKIR NAIK AT DUBAI AIRPORT EXPO ON 27 & 28th AUGUST

[Snowdrop]

@farrah

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!

Praying “for” someone and praying “to” someone are two very different things.
Don 't you pray for your dead relatives?

You didn’t answer my question. Do you agree that Prophets are better than Shuhda?

If you are rejecting all the ahadith I’ve quoted then may Allah help you, I have nothing else to say to you.

Thank you
