Re: Religious Tolerance (Shias and Sunnis)
Muslim history is that there was no shrine or any kind of constructions over the graves when the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad s.a.w was alive. His wife Khadiah ra died, daughters Zaynab ra and Ruqaiyah ra died, his son Ibrahim ra died, his uncle Hamza ra, cousin Jafar ra died…but he buit no shrine, no canopy, no dome over the graves. According to an authentic tradition of Sahih Bukhari, the Messenger of Allah, s.a.w cursed the Jews and Christians who turned the graves of their Prophets into places of worship (shrines etc), and the Holy Prophet s.a.w said that a while before he passed away.
So we should follow the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad s.a.w or people who changed the tradition of the Prophet of Islam?
Whose practice are you going to follow then?
And yes, since Saudis have their rule of law implemented throughout the kingdom, they could have stopped the masses from doing shirk in the shrines, but the problem is the shrines themselves are signs of shirk, like the cross is the sign of Christianity, six cornered star is the sign of Judaism etc.
