Shirk in this Ummah continues

[ibnislam]

About Shirk in the Ummah , Its a response to someone so the style is polemical , please try to bear with it.

Jazaakullahu khayran, this is an excellent refutation. I don't know too much of Arabic, but I read it from start to finish as an exercise, and what I understood was very beneficial.

Towards the end they start mentioning the "Hajj" they do for the grave of Prophet Hood(A) in Yemen. Don't just take their word for it. They have pictures of it on the web!

For these people, nothing gets the du'a-making engine going like making an Eid of Hood(A)'s grave:

Bro , give me some time ...the quotes in the article and what i have with my in english are slightly different , anyway heres what i have


Ibn hajar al haythami al Makki says:”The biggest means for shirk is making salah near graves and making them into places of worship .It is obligatory to eliminate
the prohibited actions that occur at graves and tombs and as for the tombs and
shrines that have been erected over graves then they should be destroyed
as quickly as possible because the Messenger of Allaah (Sallalahu Alayhee Was-
Sallam) forbade this and ordered the leveling of graves. Hence all forms of lights,
candles and others should be abolished, and it is not correct to offer
sacrifices and vows at such places. Lighting candles on the graves, making
them into idols, making tawaaf of them and PRAYING TOWARDS THEM
are all major sins….” (see his book Kitaab az-Zawaajir)
He goes on to say “these tombs and shrines are worse than MasjiduDirar and the ones
who built them have innovated a new religion with no authority from Allah and his
messenger and no scholar can permit it since the prohibition is clear from the
messenger of Allah”
