Re: WAHABIS are NOT Ahle-Sunnah
Well pakistani2 is right in way but hasnt explained in detail.
Now let me provide an Hadith. During the initial years of Prophethood the Sahaba Karam were not allowed to visit the graveyards at all. Infact thats one reason there were disallowed to pray to the direction of the Kaaba.
This is Allaahs hikmat, because idolatory was deep rooted at particular period in Makkah. After a period of time Prophet in one of the hadith said I had disallowed you to visit the Graves, now you can please visit the Graves. But once you go he told You have to just say,
Prophet Mohammed mentions in Hadeeth visit the Graves only to remember your next life and hereafter.
*It was narrated from Buraydah ibn al-Husayb (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to teach them, when they went out to the graveyard, to say: *Al-salaamu alaykum ahl al-diyaar min al-mumineen wal-Muslimeen, wa inna in sha Allaah lalaahiqoon. Asal Allaah lana wa lakum al-aafiyah (Peace be upon you, O inhabitants of the graves, believers and Muslims. Verily we will, in sha Allaah, join you. I ask Allaah for well-being for us and for you). **
The reason visiting the graveyard was disallowed, because the Mushriks believed there is Allaah the supreme creator but formed intemediaries(such as Angels, graves, Idols of Abraham and Ishamael peace be upon them) to reach Allaah. The proof the Mushriks believed is in Surah 10:31 and Surah 29:63.** Infact they believed they are following the religion of Abraham.**
But amongst the Muslims today, Visit the shrines or Dargah for waseelah, which mean intercessor, intermediary or influencer. Which Allaah is denied in the following verses
And not equal are the living and the dead. Indeed, Allah causes to hear whom He wills, but you cannot make hear those in the graves Surah 35:22.
If you read the verses 19-22 of the same Surah in the Glorious Quran, Allaah (Subhana wa taaala) clearly differentiates the believers and the disbelievers.
It is Allah who created the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them in six days; then He established Himself above the Throne. You have not besides Him any protector (Wali) or any intercessor; so will you not be reminded? Surah 32:4
006.051*YUSUFALI: Give this warning to those in whose (hearts) is the fear that they will be brought (to judgment) before their Lord: except for Him they will have no protector nor intercessor: that they may guard (against evil). *
Please reading the following verses 7:53, 40:18, 10:3, 74:48, 30:13, 26:100 and 39:42.
**Let me support this with Hadith
We know that our beloved Prophet Mohammed abhorred Grave worship from Authentic Hadeeth.
"The curse of Allâh falls upon the Jews and Christians for they have made their Prophets tombs places of worship."** Then he said:"Do not make my tomb a worshipped idol."**
**Please do ponder the above Hadeeth and the Quranic verse respectively.
