Re: Split: Religion vis a vis Shrine/Buildings/graves
People were prostrating in front of the graves. People were walking away from the graves backwards so their backs weren’t facing the grave. People were tying knots around the graves. I saw the difference between shrines maintained by the awkaf committee and those which weren’t. The awkaf committee ones didn’t have much objectional behaviour.
There are no living aalims around in any of the shrines and that’s why I would call it a scam. There is a promise of wishes coming true from a dead man who can neither guide nor tutor.
I was actually feeling sorry for the poor saints the shrines were based on. Their kalam and message were nonexistent for the people visiting them and I had to pray surah fatiha for their magfirat l because no one seemed interested in that either.
