OK.

Most common criticism against the sajda for ghair-Allah is based on
**
Sajdah by itself is form of worship.**

Regardless of intention, the posture assumed in sajdah is prohibited for anyone other than Allah.

Sajdah is not required to show respect to anyone except Allah.

I think this definition exercise of haram, versus **kufr **versus shirk,… does not change the fact that “shaksiyat Parasti” is the beginning of many many problems and particularly among People from SE Asia and Muslims.

By saying oh it is not shirk but haram does not make it acceptable, right?

There is so much exploitation, deception, crimes, unislamic acts, which are associated with this kind of mindset of shakhsiyat parasti and making an Aalim/Sufi Qabar a place of ‘worship’. These are the places where women and men get exploited by crooks.

Absolutely the shirk and haram of Sajdah is purely an academic distinction and in practical terms it is about learning to be lenient on others but strict on oneself … It teaches us not to rush in to takfir but at the same time avoid such acts for ourselves with plenty of caution.

That is true plenty of crooks out there and plenty of simpletons, but the simpletons don’t get punished for their sincerity … We need to understand that also.
