One of the aspects of Shirk in the world at the present time is offering sacrifices, vows and gifts for sanctuaries and graves.
The Prophet has
actually closed all ways to Shirk and warned his Ummah (Muslims) strictly not
to fall in it. One of these ways is the issue of graves, where he put
preserving restraints from worshipping them or exaggerating their rank. Such
as:
“(لا تطروني كما أطرت النصارى ابن مريم. إنما أنا عبد فقولوا عبد الله ورسوله)”
- meaning – “Do not over praise me as Christians over
praised Isa (Jesus) the son of Mariam (Mary) because I am only a slave, so you
should say, ‘the slave and the Messenger of Allâh’.”
Unfortunately,
most people violated these prohibitions and committed what the Prophet has
forbidden until they fell in the Major Shirk. They constructed buildings,
sanctuaries, and sepulchers over graves.
Moreover, they
made from them shrine to be visited at which all sorts of polytheism is
committed, such as, slaughtering for them, invoking to them, calling them for
help, offering vows and so on. The great scholar Ibn Al-Qayyim said, “whoever
compares between what the Prophet ordered or restrained from and what most
people nowadays do, would certainly find a great contradiction to an extent
that they would never agree.
The Prophet
actually restrained from performing prayers at graves and these people perform
prayers there. He restrained from taking them as mosques, while these people
construct buildings there and call them sights resembling houses (mosques) of
Allâh. Furthermore, he forbade lighting lamps there, while they specialize
periods where they ignite lamps. Also he restrained from taking these places as
feasts to celebrate, while those specialize for them feasts and ceremonies
where they gather for exactly as they gather for Islâmic feasts or more.
Besides, he
decreed that they must be leveled, for Muslim narrated that Ibn Abi Al-Hayyaj…,
and he (Muslim) also reported in his Sound Book (of Hadith) that Thumamah bin
Shafei said, “we were once with Fudalah bin Ubeid in Rome – Rodus, when one of
our friends died. Fudalah then ordered to level his grave and said, ‘I heard the
Messenger of Allâh (ﷺ) once commanding to level graves’.”
After all,
these people exaggerate in contradicting and opposing these two Hadith
(traditions) and raise graves up and build domes on them…. So you may notice
this great difference between what the Messenger of Allâh (ﷺ) has decreed with the great
purpose of His prohibition and what these people have decreed and meant.
No doubt, this is a mischief which can not be
controlled anymore…. (mentioning this blights)… and one of them is that reason
for which our Prophet decreed visiting the graves for us is to recall the
Thereafter and do well deeds concerning the dead like calling Mercy from Allâh
for him etc.
Therefore, a
man who visits the tombs is doing well for himself as well as for the dead;
however, these polytheists have turned this aspect upside down and altered
their Religion when they made the reason from visiting the graves Ash-Shirk and
calling the dead for help, aid and support against enemies and so on. So they
turned out to be behaving badly towards themselves and towards the dead even if
the consequence was just being deprived of what Allâh has decreed for our good
in this concern.”
Consequently,
we know that offering vows and sacrifices for shrines is a major Shirk. It is
actually caused by the disobedience of the Prophet’s guidance due to the
behaving with the dead and their graves. Some of these instructions were: not
to construct buildings over them, or make mosques (places to pray) over there
because when this happened, domes were built and vows were offered, then
ignorant people thought that these buried people can benefit and harm, and that
they can respond to their call so they offered them vows and sacrifices and are
still doing this.
Finally, these graves with their people turned out to be worshipped statues, the Prophet (ﷺ) said,
“(اللهم لا تجعل قبري وثناً يعبد)”
- meaning – “O Allâh! Do
not let them make my grave a worshipped idol!” In fact, the Messenger of
Allâh (ﷺ) never asked this from Allâh except for that something like this is
going to happen with other than his grave, and it did happen in many Islâmic
countries. However, Allâh preserved his grave ? from such ignorance as a
response for his call. Although some ignorant people may commit some violations
there but because his grave is in his house and surrounded by three walls it is
very difficult to reach his honorable grave. Ibn Al-Qayyim said, “So, the Lord
of the ‘Alamin responded his call when He surrounded his grave by three walls”.
