TAUHEED AND SHIRK 26

PROOF THAT THE PIOUS ARE ENJOYING THE LIFE OF THEIR GRAVES :

(16/97)– Here Allah Most Gracious promises the believers, a new life good and pure. This life is the Afterlife. If we are completely lifeless once we have died, then how will we enjoy the pleasures our Lord has promised us Surely we will be alive in the hereafter.

Allah Most Merciful is able to hear supplication (dua) wherever you may be, so why is there a need to go to the graves of the Prophets and pious and making supplication there?

The answer to this is simple. The places where the Prophets and pious are buried are holy

Abu Ishaq al-Qarshi (ra) narrates that there was a man with us in Madina. Whenever he used to see any bad deed which he was not capable of stop with his hand, he used to go to the grave of Prophet (Peace be upon him) and say: O the inhabitants of Qabr i.e. Prophet and Sahaba (Abu Bakr and Umar) and our helpers please look towards our state. (Bayhaqi 3879)

Imam Shâfi’î (ra)said:”I seek blessings from Abu Hanifa and go near his grave. When I am need of something I perform two raka’ahs of salāh and then I go near his grave and pray to Allah. Thus, my need is fulfilled quickly” (Raddul Muhtār, vol.1 p.38)

 (5/21,7/137,17/1,21/71) talking about the blessed land of Palestine , where Allah has sent many blessings and many Prophets. Palestine has been said to be holy because of the Prophet’s who lived there and who are buried there. Makkah and Madina are also said to be holy, as Madina is the place where Rasulullah (saws) is buried. If one was to make a supplication to Allah whilst at the graves of the Prophets and pious, the supplication would InshaAllah be accepted quickly, as one would be at a holy place.

(3/37-38) whenever Saayyidina Zakariya (as) went to Sayida Maryam’s house, she was always blessed with food. So Sayyidina Zakariya (as) made supplication whilst he was at her house as he knew that it was a place of blessing and his supplication would be accepted quickly! This shows us the significance of a blessed place.

Allah has called the mountains Safa and Marwah His signs: places that are holy and special. essential to visit these mountains because Sayida Hajara (ra), walked between these two mountains in search of water and because the feet of Sayida Hajra (ra) touched the ground between the mountains, it is said to be holy. Now if that ground has become holy as a result of a pious person’s feet touching it, just imagine how holy those grounds must be where the entire bodies of the Prophet and pious are buried! SubahnAllah!

 Allah valued Sayida Hajar’s (ra) walking so much that he made it His sign, and a part of the Hajj.

(9/84) forbids us from going to the graves of the disbelievers or to pray for them. However Allah Azawajal could not make this command apply to Muslims visiting other Muslims who have passed away as we have been told time and time again to pray for other Muslims

(60/13) Allah informs us that He is angry with the disbelievers for two reasons: that they do not believe in the hereafter(means that they do not believe that mankind will be raised once they have died). they despair of those who are in the graves. (Meaning that they believe that the people of grave are dead, lifeless and hopeless)  This is why as Muslims we cannot believe that the people of the graves are dead, lifeless and hopeless. So, when Muslims go to the graves of the Prophets and pious we will go with the intention that they are alive in their graves and they are not lifeless. We will not go with the intention that the Prophets and pious are dead and lifeless just as idols are.

(35/22-23) We understand and believe that it is Allah who grants the deceased the power to hear, and that they will only hear if Allah Most High wills, but this does not prove that the deceased cannot hear in their graves.Allah Azawajal is addressing Rasulullah (saws) and AllahAzawajal is telling him that he cannot make the people of the grave hear: only Allah has the ability to do this.

When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
