sayed_tina is right. Let me explain:
It is the belief of every Muslim that invoking and supplication to other than Allaah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) (ex: angels, saints, dead prophets, scholars) in times of distress or ease with the anticipation that that being has the ability to cause the removal of distress and suffering, or that by that being's intermediation, distress and suffering is removed, is an act of Shirk. Allaah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) has said in the Noble Qur.aan (meaning of which):
{And invoke not besides Allaah any such that will neither profit you nor hurt you, but if (in case) you did so, you shall certainly be one of the Zaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers)}, [Soorah Yoonus, Aayah 106]
Also from the authentic ahaadeeth.
Reported 'Aa.ishah (radhi-yallaahu 'anhaa): "Umm Salamah mentioned to Allaah's Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) that in Abyssinia she saw a church full of pictures and statues. He (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) said:
((When a righteous man or pious worshipper among them dies they build a place of worship over his grave and set up all kinds of pictures and statues. They are the worst of all creatures before Allaah. They combine two evils; worshipping at the graves and making graven images and statues)), [Reported by Bukhaaree and Muslim].
Also in al-Bukhaaree and Muslim it is reported that 'Aa.ishah (radhi-yallaahu 'anhaa) narrated: "When the death approached Allaah's Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) he began to draw a piece of cloth (bed sheet) over his face, (sometimes covering and sometimes removing because of distress), he (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) said in this state:
((Allaah's curse be upon the Jews and Christians for taking the graves of their Prophets as places of worship)), thus he (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) warned the people about their actions."
Muslim reported from Jundub bin 'Abdullaah (radhi-yallaahu 'anhu) who narrated: I heard the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) say only five days before his death:
((I am free and clear towards Allaah of having any of you as my Khaleel (specially close friend). Verily, Allaah has taken me as His Khaleel just as He had taken Ibraaheem (`alayhis-salaam) as a Khaleel. If I would have taken anyone from my Ummah as a Khaleel, I would have taken Abu Bakar (radhi-yallaahu 'anhu) as a Khaleel. Beware! those who preceded before you, used to make their Prophet's graves into places of worship. Beware! Don't take (any) graves as places of worship. I forbid you to do so))
He (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) forbade this at the end of his life. After this (forbidding of taking graves as place of worship), he cursed anyone who did such deed within this context.
Imaam Abu Haneefah said:
((It is not befitting for anyone to call upon Him, except by Him, and with the supplication that He has permitted and commanded, that which is instructed in His statement:
{And Allaah has Beautiful Names, so call upon Him by them, and leave the company of those who deviate concerning His Names. They will be recompensed for what they used to do})), [Soorah al-A'raaf, Aayah 180], [ad-Durrul-Mukhtaar ma'a Haashiyah Raddul-Mukhtaar (6/396-397)]
Abu Haneefah said:
((It is detested for the supplicator to say: "I ask You by the right of so and so", or, "By the right of Your Prophets and Messengers, and by the right of the Sacred House and the Sacred Sanctuary")), [Sharhul-'Aqeedatut-Tahaawiyyah (p. 234) and Ithaafus-Saadaatul-Mustaqeem (2/285) and Sharhul-Fiqhil-Akbar (p. 198) of al-Qaaree]
And Abu Haneefah said:
((It is not befitting for anyone to call upon Allaah, except by Him, and it is even more detestable for him to say: "By the junctures of Honour from your Throne", or "By the Right of Your Creation")), [al-Fiqhul-Absat (p. 56)]
This is what we know of worshipping or supplicating near graves and invoking others besides Allaah. We have learnt this from the Qur.aan, the Authentic Sunnah but let us read what Muhammad Zakaria Kandalvi writes in Fadhaa.il A'maal
In Fadhaa.il Durood, p.97, Incident no (Hikayat) 35: The Messenger of Allaah (allegedly) said:
((Whoever wants something from anyone should go to his grave and supplicate to Allaah for it))
Again on page 109, Incident number (Hikayat) - 48, Fadhaa.il Durood (The last chapter in Fadhaa.il A'maal, Vol.I): "Sh. Abu Khair Qattah said that: I went to Madeenah and stayed there for five days but did not achieve the pleasure and satisfaction. I went to the graves of the Prophet, Hadhrat Abu Bakar and Hadhrat 'Umar and said, "O Messenger of Allaah I am your guest tonight." Then I left the place and slept behind the minbar. I saw in my dream that the Prophet of Allaah with Abu Bakar on his right, 'Umar on his left and 'Alee was in front of them all. Hadhrat 'Alee then shook me and said that the Messenger of Allaah has come to visit me. I got up and kissed the Prophet between his eyes. The Messenger of Allaah then gave me a piece of bread which I ate half and when I woke up the other half was in my hand."
What does Zakaria Kandalvi want to prove through these evil fabrications. That making a supplication near the graves pays off by a visit by the Prophet himself and being awarded a piece of bread. And do things in dream last after the dream is over. No! but Zakaria Kandalvi wants to put the idea to his readers that the Messenger of Allaah and those illustrious Companions visited Sh.Qattah in real life and not just a dream.
These two incidents are enough to prove the teachings of grave worship in Fadhaa.il A'maal. "Shaykh al-Hadeeth" Muhammad Zakaria Kandalvi firsts fabricates a hadeeth and then an entire story. But this is not an end to the Shirk and lies in Fadhaa.il A'maal. This is just the beginning.
And finally I would request Darkness_to_... to read the following verses from the Holy Qur’an:
Al-Imran [3:187]
وَإِذْ أَخَذَ اللّهُ مِيثَاقَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ الْكِتَابَ لَتُبَيِّنُنَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ وَلاَ تَكْتُمُونَهُ فَنَبَذُوهُ وَرَاء ظُهُورِهِمْ وَاشْتَرَوْاْ بِهِ ثَمَناً قَلِيلاً فَبِئْسَ مَا يَشْتَرُونَ
Waith akhatha Allahu meethaqa allatheena ootoo alkitaba latubayyinunnahu lilnnasi wala taktumoonahu fanabathoohu waraa thuhoorihim waishtaraw bihi thamanan qaleelan fabisa ma yashtaroona
3:187 And remember Allah took a covenant from the People of the Book, to make it known and clear to mankind, and not to HIDE it; but they threw it away behind their backs, and purchased with it some miserable gain! And vile was the bargain they made!
An-Nisa [4:37]
الَّذِينَ يَبْخَلُونَ وَيَأْمُرُونَ النَّاسَ بِالْبُخْلِ وَيَكْتُمُونَ مَا آتَاهُمُ اللّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكَافِرِينَ عَذَابًا مُّهِينًا
Allatheena yabkhaloona wayamuroona alnnasa bialbukhli wayaktumoona ma atahumu Allahu min fadlihi waaAAtadna lilkafireena AAathaban muheenan
4:37 (Nor) those who are ********* or enjoin niggardliness on others, or HIDE the bounties which Allah hath bestowed on them; for We have prepared, for those who resist Faith, a punishment that steeps them in contempt;-
It is a well known fact that in olden days one who could not read an ordinary manuscript was termed as UMMIYYE. It will not be out of place if in today's world I call one who cannot take advantage of the internet as an UMMIYYE.
You will come across 'mullahs' who proclaim that internet be shunned because it contains vulgar and obscene material. I have told some of these mullahs to destroy all pens, paper and writing materials (before making such statements) because the print media has been and is being used to spread vulgarity too.
Beware of the following websites:
The site mentioned at sl no. 5. links to several unislamic websites having Islamic names.
These sites have been developed by the Jews Who intentionally spread wrong information about the QURAN, the HADITH and Islam. Please spread this information to all brothers and sisters around the world.
Always check the source of any Islamic web site even if it is very convincing.
