Some of us dont have proper knowledge(including me) and we get surprised at certain things when we hear them.

What R U Doing??

Can you please quote a verse from Quran or Authentic Hadith in regards to your above comment?

This "Waseela" thing denies the logic of "JUSTICE". I understand what you're saying, but I still don't think anyone can be helped by praying to a DEAD person.

Re: What happens to us after we die?

^^

"Logic in religion and relating to ALLAH" by itself is a long discussion, which i dont want to get into.

Actually, The human body is dead, but the soul(rooh,spirit) is alive.Talking about a muslim , If its a good spirit,it goes to Aalim-e-Barzakh(Roohon ka Thikana). If it was a spirit of a muslim who was more into worldly matters, then the spirit is weak and needs strength to go to Aalim-e-barzakh.This strength can be given by Reading Koran Khatam for the dead person,sadqa-e-Jaria etc.

The good spirit since lives closer to ALLAH (in Aalim-e-Barzakh), it can make dua to ALLAH.

And how do you know who that good spirit is?

His logic (please see the video below) is more closer to what I’d wanna blv in. Even when Prophet Mohammed S.A.W.W asked someone else to pray for him, which “PEER” and “MURSHID” and “MOLVI” can help you and I?

More versus and hadith in below videos. Hope it may help us clear our understanding of “Waseela”. Even if that doesn’t help us, then you have your understanding and I’ll stick to mine, which is;
There is no GOD, but GOD (ALLAH) and Mohammed S.A.W.W is HIS last prophet and messenger. All things are created/controlled/destroyed by Him and HE is the only supreme creator. He is the only sustainer of all things and HE is the “ONLY” provider.

Peace!!

Further more, I'd never, ever (InshaALLAH), go to a "PEER" or a "HAAJI" or "BABA POORI MURAAD WAALAY" , get on my knees, kiss their hands and touch their feet. I did that, when I had no knowledge (probably I was 13-14 then) and was just "following" the crowd.

Starting from all the prophets, all the sahaba karam and their followers like Aulia-Karam etc,all are good spirits.

I will quote hadith/ayat for your reference.

ALLAH says about his servants in surah Al-Kahf: (18:28)

"Stay tenaciously in the companionship of those who remember their Lord morning and evening, ardently seeking His pleasure, (keen on the glimpse of His sight and eagerly aspiring to glance at His radiant Countenance). Your (affectionate and caring) looks must not but focus them. Do you seek the charisma of the worldly life (shifting your attention away from these self-denying devotees)? And (also) do not follow him whose heart We have made neglectful of Our remembrance and who follows but the urge of his (ill-commanding self) and his case has exceeded all bounds. "

This is being said about Aulia-Karam, how? because their life posseses these qualities as narrated in the ayat.Since they lived a life only on orders of ALLAH, they are good human beings.

A hadith (actually it is Hadith-e-Qudsi) from Sahih Bukhari Shreef.

Bukhari sharif Volume 8, Book 76, Number 509:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him) said,

“Allah said, 'I will declare war against him who shows hostility to a** pious worshipper of Mine.** And the most beloved things with which My slave comes nearer to Me, is what I have enjoined upon him; and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through performing Nawafil (praying or doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory) till I love him, so I become his sense of hearing with which he hears, and his sense of sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he grips, and his leg with which he walks; and if he asks Me, I will give him, and if he asks My protection (Refuge), I will protect him; (i.e. give him My Refuge) and I do not hesitate to do anything as I hesitate to take the soul of the believer, for he hates death, and I hate to disappoint him.”

I am Talking about Pir in terms of Awlia-Karam. I didnt say Molvi.

The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has stated,

“There are certain of Allah’s servants that have been set aside to fulfil the necessities of the people. People will call to them in their times of need. They are protected from the punishment of Almighty Allah”. (Jame Saghir)

And in Koran, its written:

“Your helpers are Almighty Allah and His Rasool and those Muslims who perform Salaah and give alms and make Ruku” (5:55,Koran)

I dont really pursue logic most of the times because some site ,i think on wiki-islam , i was reading about the people who very proudly left islam and converted to atheists or some another, 90% had put the reasons as LOGIC.

What makes sense to me asking for waseela is that, Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) asked Hazrat Awais Qarni (R.A) to make a dua for the forgiveness of His(SAW) Ummah to ALLAH.

I am in no way, asking you to agree with me. Its your free will and i respect that. I am merely sharing what i know and im sharing that in context of Koran and Hadith.

100% agreed without any doubt.

When i talk about peer(pir), i talk about Aulia-Karam not the todays pir like "BABA POORI MURAAD WAALAY".

I am not asking you to do what you dont want to do. You are a free person with a free will. I am no one to tell you what to do.

Getting on knees,kissing hands and kissing feet has references in hadith and done by sahaba to Hazrat Muhammad(SAW) and done by sahaba to elders. Since you dont want to get more information , i will not paste it here.

We should all speak in Arabic- knowing anything else is haraam. Shaheed Zia ul haq suggested that.

The Believer in the Grave

When a believer is about to depart this world, angels with white faces come down from the heavens and say:
“O peaceful soul, come out to forgiveness from God and His pleasure.” (Hakim and others)
The believer will look forward to meeting his Creator, as the Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, explained:
“…when the time of the death of a believer approaches, he receives the good news of God’s pleasure with him and His blessings upon him, and so at that time nothing is dearer to him than what lies ahead of him. He therefore loves meeting God, and God loves meeting him.” (Saheeh Al-Bukhari)
The soul peacefully passes out of the body like a drop of water which emerges from a water-skin, and the angels take hold of it:
The angels gently extract it, saying:
“…Do not fear and do not grieve, but receive good tidings of the Paradise which you were promised. We were your allies in this worldly life and [are so] in the Hereafter, and you will have therein whatever your souls desire, and you will have therein whatever you request [or wish], as a hospitality from the Forgiving and Merciful.” (Quran 41:30-32)
Once extracted from the body, the angels wrap the soul in a shroud smelling of musk and ascend up to the heavens. As the Gates of Heaven open for the soul, the angels greet it:
“A good soul has come from the earth, may God bless you and the body you used to dwell in.”
…introducing it with the best names it was called with in this life. God commands his “book” to be recorded, and the soul is returned back to earth.
The soul then remains in a place of limbo in its grave, called the Barzakh, awaiting the Day of Judgment. Two fearsome, dread-inspiring angels called Munkar and Nakeer visit the soul to ask it about its religion, God, and prophet. The believing soul sits upright in its grave as God grants it the strength to answer the angels with full faith and certainty.
Munkar and Nakeer: “What is your religion?”
Believing soul: “Islam.”
Munkar and Nakeer: “Who is your Lord?”
Believing soul: “Allah.”
Munkar and Nakeer: “Who is your Prophet?” (or “What do you say about this man?”)
Believing soul: “Muhammad.”
Munkar and Nakeer: “How did you come to know these things?”
Believing soul: “I read the Book of Allah (i.e. the Quran) and I believed.”
Then, when the soul passes the test, a voice from the heavens will call out:
“My slave has spoken the truth, supply him with furnishings from Paradise, clothe him from Paradise, and open a gate for him to Paradise.”
The believer’s grave is made roomy and spacious and filled with light. He is shown what would have been his abode in Hell - had he been a wicked sinner - before a portal is opened for him every morning and evening showing him his actual home in Paradise. Excited and full of joyful anticipation, the believer will keep asking: ‘When will the Hour (of Resurrection) come?! When will the Hour come?!’ until he is told to calm down.

Unbeliever in the Grave

The evil soul leaves the body with great difficulty, drawn out by the angels as a thronged skewer is dragged through wet wool. The Angel of Death then seizes the soul and puts it in a sack woven from hair which gives off a putrid stench, as foul and offensive as the most foul-smelling rotting corpse found on earth. The angels then take the soul up past another company of angels who inquire: “Who is this wicked soul?” to which they reply: “So and so, the son of so and so?” - using the very worst of names that he was ever called during his time on earth. Then, when he is brought to the lowest heaven, a request is made that its gate be opened for him, but the request is denied. Whilst the Prophet was describing these events, when he reached this point, he recited:
“The gates of heaven will not be opened for them and they will not enter paradise until a camel can pass through the eye of a needle.” (Quran 7:40)
God will say: “Record his book in Sijjeen in the lowest earth.”
…and his soul is cast down. At this juncture, the Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, recited:
“He who assigns partners to Allah is as if he had fallen down from heaven and been snatched up by the birds, or made to fall by the wind in a place far distant.” (Quran 22:31)
The wicked soul is then restored to its body and the two fearsome, dread-inspiring angels, Munkar and Nakeer, come to it for its interrogation. After making him sit up, they ask:
Munkar and Nakeer: “Who is your Lord?”
Disbelieving soul: “Alas, alas, I do not know.”
Munkar and Nakeer: “What is your religion?”
Disbelieving soul: “Alas, alas, I do not know.”
Munkar and Nakeer: “What do you say about this man (Muhammad) sent to you?”
Disbelieving soul: “Alas, alas I do not know.”
Having failed his test, the disbeliever’s head will be struck with an iron hammer with a force so violent that it would crumble a mountain. The cry will be heard from heaven: “He has lied, so spread out carpets of Hell for him, and open for him a portal into Hell.” The floor of his grave is thus set alight with some of Hell’s fierce fire, and his grave is made narrow and constricted to the extent that his ribs become intertwined as his body is crushed. Then, an incredibly ugly being, wearing ugly garments and giving off a foul and offensive odor comes to the disbelieving soul and says: “Be grieved with what displeases you, for this is your day which you have been promised.” ** The disbeliever will ask: **“Who are you, with your face so ugly and bringing evil?” The ugly one will reply: “l am your wicked deeds!” The disbeliever is then made to taste bitter remorse as he is shown what would have been his abode in Paradise - had he lived a righteous life - before a portal is opened for him every morning and evening showing him his actual home in Hell. Allah mentions in His Book how the wicked people of Pharaoh are, at this very moment, suffering from such an exposure to Hell from within their graves:
“The Fire: they are exposed to it, morning and afternoon, and on the Day when the Hour will be established (it will be said to the angels): ‘(Now) cause Pharaoh’s people to enter the severest torment!’” (Quran 40:46)
Overcome with fear and loathing, anxiety and despair, the disbeliever in his grave will keep asking: “My Lord, do not bring the last hour. Do not bring the last hour.”
The Companion, Zaid b. Thabit, narrated how, when the Prophet Muhammad and his Companions were once passing some graves of polytheists, the Prophet’s horse bolted and almost unseated him. The Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, then said:
“These people are being tortured in their graves, and were it not that you would stop burying your dead, I would ask God to let you hear the punishment in the grave which I (and this horse) can hear.” (Saheeh Muslim)
