Dars e Imam-Destroying Graves

Dras E Imam, Shariath

“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem””Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)

The Zam Zam well had a dome built over it in early Islamic period by Caliph al Mansur (149AH). This should be a evil innovation and an act leading to polytheism, as per the customs of Wahhabism. Giving any significance to signs or symbols(sha’air) of Allah manifested in history on earth is equated with polytheism as per their tradition. Yet, in complete contradiction to this creed, the blessed Zam Zam well continues to have structures constructed over it, by the wahhabi sympathising Saudi ruling elite themselves.

The Wahhabi influenced Saudi regime even constructed for the first time in the history of Islam a structure over the Safa and Marwa, and made it part of the Masjid al Haram complex. As per the customs of –m, it should be a evil innovation that leads to Muslims worshipping mountains and becoming pagan mountain/nature worshippers. Infact, the idolators prior to the advent of Islam used to have idols placed at Safa and Marwa, which they use to venerate while performing the tawaf between them . By misguided group rules of interpretation, that would be proof to destroy and bulldoze the structure over it and prevent people from conducting tawaf of the Safa and Marwa as method of blocking the means to shirk, or even bulldoze the Safa and Marwa if needed. Infact, calls have already emerged from the wahhabiyya to destroy the cave of Uhud for fear of polytheism.We see the same being the case also with the Jamarat:If they are to argue that all of this constructions are for facilitating or protecting or honoring that which is permitted, we say structures around graves are similarily for protecting, honoring and facilitating acts which are permitted and recommended.
{whoever holds in honor the symbols of Allah, such (honor) should come truly from piety of heart.} [Qur`an 22/32]

Grave of Prophet  and Sahaba
(a)Sahih Bukhari vol 2 book 23 Hadith 473–Narrated Abu Bakr bin ‘Aiyash : Sufyan At-Tammar told me that he had seen the grave of the Prophet elevated and convex.
b) Sunan al kubra volume 3 page 410 Imam Behaqi–Narrated The grave of Prophet was one span above the ground
c) Sharah Muslim, vol 1 page 312 Imam Nawawi [r.h] writes: “Sunnah is to have the grave about the length of one span…”

Sunan Abu Dawud: Book 20, Number 3214: Narrated Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad ibn AbuBakr: I said to Aisha! Mother, show me the grave of the Apostle of Allah  and his two Companions (Allah be pleased with them). She showed me three graves which were neither high nor low, but were spread with soft red pebbles in an open space.

Sahih Muslim, Chapter 199 Book 004, Number 2114:-Thumama b. Shafayy reported: When we were with Fadala b. ‘Ubaid in the country of the Romans at a place (known as) Rudis, a friend of ours died. Fadala b.’Ubaid ordered to prepare a grave for him and then it was levelled; and then he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah
commanding (us) to level the grave.

Sunan Al Kubra Al behaqi vol 3 page 411-And in other hadith from Sunan Al Kubra Al behaqi vol 3 page 411 it says.Fadala b. ‘Ubaid said Put off the mud from grave because the Messenger of Allah
commanded (us) to level the grave

The fact that Prophets grave itself was elevated refutes –. Whether the top should be a mound or flat is differed based on divergent hadiths.

Building Structure on Grave is a sign of Jews and Christians
Sahih Bukhari – Volume 4, Book 56, Number 660: Narrated ‘Aisha and Ibn ‘Abbas: On his death-bed Allah’s Prophet put a sheet over his-face and when he felt hot, he would remove it from his face. When in that state (of putting and removing the sheet) he said, “May Allah’s Curse(lanat) be on the Jews and the Christians for they build places of worship at the graves of their prophets.” (By that) he intended to warn (the Muslim) from what they (i.e. Jews and Christians)had done.

Sahih Bukhari – Volume 4, Book 56, Hadees Number 662: Narrated Abu Said: The Prophet said, “You will follow the wrong ways, of your predecessors so completely and literally that if they should go into the hole of a mastigure, you too will go there.” We said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Do you mean the Jews and the Christians?” He replied, “Whom else?” (Meaning, of course, the Jews and the Christians.)

No Sufi or Muslims in every corner of the globe for 1400 years build a place of worship over the grave itself. The place of worship is besides the grave like that in Masjidun Nabawi, the second holiest mosque in Islam.

Sahih Al-Bukhair Volume 1, Book 8, Hadith # 419 Narrated ‘Aisha (RAA) Um Habiba (RAA) and Um Salama (RAA) mentioned about a church they had seen in Ethiopia in which there were pictures. They told the Prophet about it, on which he said, “If any religious man dies amongst those people they would build Masjid(Place where Sajda )at his grave and make these pictures in it. They will be the worst creature in the sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection.”
Its referring to idols in the first place. No sunni scholar will ever permit photos at grave sites. But why are najdi sheikhs photos glorified all over Saudi Arabia ? Should — not be going on rampage destroying these pictures by quoting the hadith of Ali[r] mission?

Tawajjua-directed towards Allah for kamil/perfection.

Tawajjua –no consiouness towards self.

Tawajjua -Body facing kaaba and Heart facing rab e kaaba

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)
