Re: Praying on dargahs & shrines
Brother, what I mentioned is that, Allah does not help in this material world directly, rather he helps through (Waseela) of someone or something. On the other hand, if Allah wants to (as I mentioned in reply to your post), Allah can help directly as what he did when dealing with Musa (AS).
What I wrote is Islamic belief, but if you feel that what I mentioned is not true, than to refute my claim, instead of asking me to justify my claim, I would prefer if you show me instances where Allah helped people in this material world directly, without intermediaries (be that intermediaries other human, angels, or material things like medicine, iron or whatever).
Anyhow, even though what I claimed is obvious (Islamic belief), I can show you many ayahs in Quran where Allah mentioned that Allah help and at all places it is indirectly (through intermediaries). Actually, at places Allah even asked people to help Allah in fulfilling the cause of Allah (as such help is test of Allah).
3:124: Remember thou saidst to the Faithful: "Is it not enough for you that Allah should help you with three thousand angels (Specially) sent down?
In above ayah, Allah helped prophet through angels … not directly.
4:75: And why should ye not fight in the cause of Allah and for those who, being weak are ill-treated (and oppressed)?- Men, women, and children, whose cry is: “Our Lord! Rescue us from this town, whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from thee one who will protect; and raise for us from thee one who will help!”
In above ayah, Allah asks people to help Allah by fighting in the cause of Allah and fighting for those who are weak and oppressed.
Actually, in above ayah Allah also mentions that those who are oppressed, they ask Allah to raise people who could give them protection and help. One can clearly see that oppressed believers do not say that Allah come and help us … rather they say that raise people (create waseela) who could help and protect us.
7:156: “Those who follow the messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures),- in the law and the Gospel;- for he commands them what is just and forbids them what is evil; he allows them as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibits them from what is bad (and impure); He releases them from their heavy burdens and from the yokes that are upon them. So it is those who believe in him, honour him, help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him,- it is they who will prosper.”
In above ayah, Allah is asking people to honour, help, and follow Prophet SAW).
9:14: Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and give you victory over them and satisfy the breasts of a believing people
In above ayah, Allah is saying that he would punish and disgrace unbelievers through (Waseela) hands of believers. (Not directly)
22:40: (They are) those who have been expelled from their homes in defiance of right,- (for no cause) except that they say, “our Lord is Allah”. Did not Allah check one set of people by means of another, there would surely have been pulled down monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques, in which the name of Allah is commemorated in abundant measure. Allah will certainly aid those who aid his (cause);- for verily Allah is full of Strength, Exalted in Might, (able to enforce His Will).
In above ayah, Allah clearly mentions that Allah check one set of people by means (Waseela) of another … and that if there would not have been means (Waseela) than monasteries, churches, synagogues and mosques … wherever people take name and remember of Allah would have got pulled down. Again, Allah says that Allah would help those who would help Allah (obviously Allah do not need help from anyone, but it is in this material world where Allah do not get involved directly, his creation can help Allah by becoming waseela).
47:7: O ye who believe! If ye will aid (the cause of) Allah, He will aid you, and plant your feet firmly.
In above ayah, Allah is asking his creation to help him.
57:25 We sent aforetime our messengers with Clear Signs and sent down with them the Book and the Balance (of Right and Wrong), that men may stand forth in justice; and We sent down Iron, in which is (material for) mighty war, as well as many benefits for mankind, that Allah may test who it is that will help, Unseen, Him and His messengers: For Allah is Full of Strength, Exalted in Might (and able to enforce His Will).
Here also … in Above ayah, Allah is mentioning means (Waseelah) Allah created to guide and help people (clear signs, books that teach right and wrong, iron for war, etc) so that people can get tested by becoming waseela (help in the cause of Allah) for Allah and his messengers.
Well, I mentioned few of many ayahs from Quran that shows when Allah wants to help anyone, he uses waseelah and do not help directly. Actually, Allah himself asks people to become his waseelah (intermediaries) as people who become waseelah of Allah become aid (Help) of Allah.
Thus, I have shown from Quran places where it is mentioned that Allah uses intermediaries (be they men, angels, material, or whatever) to help prophets, needy and oppressed … even to establish Islam and protect places where Allah is remembered.
[Note: I have mentioned the belief in Islam, but then that is not true about Hinduism, where their god (Vishnu) and goddess (Parvati) have habit of coming to this world and help people directly by providing them good governance and fighting evil harming them. Same is true in Greek mythology. As things are turning up, it seems such belief must be entering Islam and with time, so-called Muslims would also concoct stories of God coming to this material world and helping oppressed and needy directly]
for sharing with us 
for your providing detailed answer with reference. Well, your posts are very long and there are many points which I would like to dicuss but I lose interest if posts are very long b’coz for me it won’t be possible to cover all aspect and in my view such discussion wouldn’t lead us or me anywhere. So if you don’t mind and would like to discuss then please put forward at least one point each a time (with / without reference) enabling me to discuss it with you in detail.
