@vroom

Well I will encourage you to speak up regarding incorrect beliefs, so if you have no such issue, which needs speaking against, then no further action required. If you do have issue then you must raise your concerns. The subject here is “iyyaka na’budu wa iyyaka nasta’een” its correct interpretation, and refutation the incorrect interpretation coming from some of your friends. It is important for me that the subject is realized

Obviously I do not know the details of the clarification you are looking for. However I have spoken on shirk and what is not shirk, so if you have anything to say on the matter I will stick to my beliefs, so you are free to make your point.

Well that is inaccurate according to you, However there are scholars who have believe RasoolAllah SallAllahu Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam has full knowledge of the Ghaib. It is a different ‘everything’ (a drop in the Ocean) as to the ‘‘everything’’ as in the absolute knowledge of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala

There is no ijma on the subject on full knowledge of the Unseen but if anyone denies The Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam knew at least some of the 5 things they may find a nice big fatwa on their heads! These are the parameters i know about

Well if you have knowledge on Aqeedah books then you share that, or accept that perhaps your concerns are unfounded. We are the people who built Mazars from the east to the west, from the north to the south, for the purpose of visiting and spending time with Awliya and gaining any tabarruk we could from that. That was Us - Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah. That is still Us.

I can tell you I do not know what aqeedah I am from Ashari or muturidi, and Moulana Asrar Rashid is Ashari. So your information is perhaps wrong, i dont know
From the questions you are posing it seems that you are think we are something new, however that can be quickly dispelled by the fact we the ones of India who did not change post the arrival of Riyadhi influence. So we are those Indians who were Sunnis before and are still Sunni

AsSalaamo Alaikum,

If the same amount of time, effort, fervor, money, and energy was spent in doing Dawah or building masjids, feeding the poor and supporting the orphans, wouldn’t that be a more proud achievement? That was, and still is the Prophet (s.a.w.)'s way. Sahaba (r.a.) didn’t go around building mazars over the sahabas (r.a.) who were martyred. Not even for Rasool Allah (s.a.w) when he passed away and returned to Allah Almighty, as we all will sooner or later. Who could be bigger awliyah Allah than those blessed souls? Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) told us explicitly without a doubt that the first three generations should serve as an example for us. Whom from among them built a mazaar for Yasir (r.a.) or Summaiyyah (r.a.) who were the first martyrs for Islam? If such a thing was of benefit, wouldn’t Rasool Allah (s.a.w.) have recommended, or approved of it? Unless we are to contemplate that (astagfirullah) the much later generations have discovered a way of blessings that Rasool Allah (s.a.w.) forgot to convey, but as most muslims remember the religion was complete during the last sermon at completion of Hajj.

How do you get tabarrukaat by spending time with the dead? Do they benefit you, or pass their blessings up to you from grave when each soul is in need for all the hasanat in the hereafter?

More importantly, can you confidently say that by building mazaars with the best of intentions, and I do believe you have the best of intentions, you wouldn’t be held to account if people use those mazars for malice purposes and indulge in anything other than Islam? When one of us does something good, the Ajr for it carries on even after we die. When one of us does something that is not good and people keep repeating it, or utilizing it, a portion of what they do also carries on for us after we die.

What boggles my mind is that some of us do things which did not exist during the early generations, and are unfounded in the Sunnah of Rasool Allah and call ourselves from followers of the Sunnah of Rasool Allah. How is that possible?

But, of course, I’m limited in my knowledge of these things. And my reason for raising these questions was out of sincerity, and nothing else. May Allah bless you for all the good you do, and forgive for the bad that happens unintentionally, and give us all the hidayah to be on seerat-e-mustaqeem all the way till the end.
