"We sent no messenger but to be obeyed by the leave of Allah. If they who have been unjust to themselves had come to you (Prophet Muhammed) and begged Allah's forgiveness, and the Messenger had begged forgiveness for them - indeed, they would have found Allah All-Forgiving Most Merciful." 4:64 Holy Quran
"(The brothers of Yusuf) said, 'O our father! Ask forgiveness from Allah for our sins. Indeed, we have been sinners.' He said, 'I will ask my Lord for forgiveness for you. Verily, He, only He, is the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (12:97-98)

I am very aware of such verses in the Quran.
Where does it say that a dead/deceased person can ask Allah to forgive someone who is living?
Brothers of Yusuf asked their father, when their father was alive and he could hear, see, and understand what his sons were saying to him... hence he asked allah for their forgiveness.
In Quran Allah asks us to call only upon him and no one else. If calling upon dead and shaheed people was right thing to do, don't you think Allah would have mentioned that along where he says call upon only me? Simple common sense and little logic.
This is also in Quran, maybe you should ponder on it rather than wasting time to find irrelevant verses?
35:22 Nor are alike those that are living and those that are dead. *Allah can make any that He wills to hear; **but thou canst not make those to hear *who are (buried) in graves. **
This really hits the bone:
50:16 It was We Who created man, and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein.
I gave some examples earlier, here is another one:
If you are in a room with a person, why do you need someone from outside to give message to someone that is inside the room with you? Isn't that the most stupidest thing you can do?
Just like before, you will ignore/avoid my questions and continue ranting about something that is not even in the discussion. Don't avoid the tough questions by bringing issues which have nothing to do with me. Answer the questions if you are truthful oh ALL KNOWING & Wise Mr. Sheraz!
