Split: Religion vis a vis Shrine/Buildings/graves

Re: Split: Religion vis a vis Shrine/Buildings/graves

@StrangeOne

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.

Thanks for the reply

The sajda matter I am going to leave for now, I will In Sha Allah comment on it later. Basically there is actions very similar to sajda which are permissible, and at least I do not have any contradicting knowledge of their prohibition

Walking away backwards - can not be prohibited or at least I do not have the knowledge to prohibit
Tying knot around the grave(?) - can not be prohibited or at least I do not have the knowledge to prohibit

Having left out the matter of sajda for now. As far as I can see your objections are not worthy of being of upheld from what i can gather.

and there is religious doctrinal difference between you and the people you were photographing and Im guessing difference in financial and materialistic needs too. The central point of whether the saints can help is perhaps one of the issues of difference. I can confirm that the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah have taken the position that they can help
