Desert Fox and others, shaheeds are indeed not dead in a sense. Ok. *Can you tell me please: *
**Where IN QURAN does Allah asks you to ask “shaheeds” for help?
Where IN QURAN does Allah say that you need a connection of shaheed or some imam with Allah, to ask help from him or to communicate with Allah?
Where IN QURAN does Allah asks you to go on to graves of Imams or Prophets and prostrate in front of their graves?
Where IN QURAN does it say that you can ask Ali for help and not Allah? **
Considering the matter, there were other sahabah who were also “shaheeds” i.e Omar, Abu- Bakr, Usman etc.
I have listed my references below, make sure you do give me answers to questions above with proof(s) from QURAN only!

**You deny hadiths for some reason. At the same time you say that you ONLY believe in Quran, but your beliefs and practices completely contradict with Quran and its teachings. ** Here is an example: "Shias believe that the Imam is impeccable, that is, he can never go wrong, and that he knows about the future. Can anyone know about the future other than Almighty Allah?!! This belief of yours contradicts the following verse: "“He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make anyone acquainted with His Mysteries,”(Surah Al-Jinn(72) verse 26).
Another verse Allah says: *And you will not cause failure [to Allah] upon the earth or in the heaven.And you have not other than Allah any protector or any helper- Surah 29, verse 22. (29:22) *
Despite the fact that those verses are in quran, you still ask the Imaams for help, and make Imaams a connection to communicate with Allah. It clearly contradicts the teachings of Islam and Quran. It is wrong. And it is called denying the verses of Allah, which is kufr!
I am sure you will say “we do not do that”(i.e worshiping graves and asking Ali for help other than allah, considering Ali a connection between you and Allah, etc.) There is a practice in your religion(shiaism) you know what it is called? Its “taqiyyah”. You often practice that.
PS: Just for the sake of unity and self-respect, I do not want to start any “never-ending” debate between “blind-falseness” and truth and light of Quran and Sunnah. It is better, if you do not start these things with my name in your posts. It is better for you, it is better for your faith and it is better for “some” tolerance that we have here for each other. Please. One more thing, DO NOT label me with some sect’s name or any stupid stuff like that, those things only suit you. You maybe a “proud shia” I consider my self a “Proud Muslim,” there is a big difference. Good Luck and Take it easy sir.
