WHY IS SHIRK TO VISIT AT DARGAH/MAZAR..?

The belief that died awliya can fulfil ones needs or help at times of distress an d calling upon them for aid. "Your Lord has ordered you to worship none except Him(23)" {17:23} they call upon dead Prophets, righteous people and others to intercede for them or to rescue them from some calamity and some of those who worship graves walk a round them as if in Tawaaf, and acknowledge their corners or touch them, kiss th em, wipe their faces with their dust, prostrate towards them when they see them, or stand before them in fear and humility, praying for whatever they need of he aling from some disease, or for a child, or for help with some difficulty... "Who answers the oppressed when he supplicates to Him and removes evil and appoi nts you as inheritors of the earth, is there a god with Allah? How little you re member(62)" {27:62} "Those whom you invoke, other than Allah, are worshipers like yourselves. Call t hem, and let them answer you, if what you say is true(194)" {7:194} Narrated Aisha (R.A.A) Um Habiba (R.A.A) and Um Salama (R.A.A) mentioned about a church they had seen in Ethiopia in which there were pictures. They told the P rophet (SAW) about it, on which he said, "If any religious man dies amongst thos e people they would build a place of worship at his grave and make these picture s in it. They will be the worst creature in the sight of Allah on the Day of Res urrection." (Sahih Al-Bukhari) Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah (R.A.A) The Prophet (S.A.W) forbade that the graves should be plastered, or they be used as sitting places (for the people), or a bu ilding should be built over them" (Sahih Muslim) Narrated Aisha (R.A.A) and Abdullah bin Abbas (R.A.A) When the last moment of the life of The prophet (S.A.W) came he started putting his Khamisa on his fa ce and when he felt hot and short of breath he took it off his face and said, "M ay Allah curse the Jews and Christians for they built the places of worship at t he graves of their Prophets." (Sahih Bkhari) The Prophet (S.A.W) was warning (Muslims) of what those had done. Narrated Jundub ibn Abdullah (R.A.A) "I heard from the Apostle of Allah (S.A.W) five days before his death and he said: I stand acquitted before Allah that I to ok anyone of you as friend, for Allah has taken me as His friend, as he took Ibr ahim as His friend. Had I taken any one of my Ummah as a friend, I would have ta ken AbuBakr as a friend. Beware of those who preceded you and used to take the g raves of their prophets and righteous men as places of worship, but you must not take graves as mosques; I forbid you to do that" (Sahih Muslim) Narrated AbuMarthad al-Ghanawi (R.A.A) Allahs Messenger (S.A.W) said: "Do not s it on the graves and do not pray facing towards them." (Sahih Muslim) those who worship anyone but Allah or associate partners with Allah... Allahs punishment for worshipping any one or associating any partners to him is hell without return and no forgiveness.... "Allah does not forgive (the sin of inventing an) association with Him, but He f orgives other sins to whomsoever He will. Whosoever associates with Allah has go ne astray in far error(116)" {4:116} "The unbelievers are those who say: Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary. But

the Messiah said: Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. H e who associates anything with Allah, Allah has indeed forbidden Paradise to him , and his abode shall be in the Fire. The harmdoers shall have no helpers(72)" { 5:72} "Do not pray to, other than Allah, to anything that can neither help nor harm yo u, for if you do, you will become a harmdoer. (106) If Allah touches you an affl iction none can remove it except He; and if He wills any good for you, none can repel His Bounty. He causes it to fall upon whosoever of His worshippers that He will. He is the Forgiving, the Most Merciful.(107)" {10:106-107} The Prophet (PBUH) said: Whoever dies calling on someone else as a rival to Allaa h, will enter Hell. (Bukhari) plz dont follow blindly what parents and relatives did,desires, Innovations and Blind Following (Taqleed) ... "When it is said to them: Follow what Allah has sent down, they reply: We wil l follow that which we found our fathers upon, even though their fathers did no t understand anything and they were not guided(170)" {2:170} "When it is said to them: Come to that which Allahhas sent down, and to the Mes senger, they reply: Sufficient for us is what we have found our fathers upon, even though their fathers knew nothing and were not guided(104)" {5:104} "When they commit an indecency, they say: This is what we found our fathers pra cticing, and with it Allah has ordered us. Say: Allah does not order indecency . Would you tell of Allah what you do not know?(28)" {7:28} remember always.... " Allah does not forgive (the sin of inventing an) association with Him, but He forgives other (sins) to whomsoever He will. He who associates with Allah has in vented a great sin(48)" {4:48} "If Allah touches you an affliction none can remove it except He; and if He will s any good for you, none can repel His Bounty. He causes it to fall upon whosoev er of His worshippers that He will. He is the Forgiving, the Most Merciful.(107) " {10:107} "So remember Me, I will remember you. Give thanks to Me and do not be ungrateful towards Me (152)" {2:152} "When My worshipers ask you about Me, I am near. I answer the supplication of th e suppliant when he calls to Me; therefore, let them respond to Me and let them believe in Me, in order that they will be righteous(186)" {2:182} There is none worthy of worship but ALLAH and Muhammad is his Messenger. There is none worthy of worship but Allah and I testify that Muhammad is Allahs worshipper and Messenger. Glory be to Allah and All praise be to Allah and There is none worthy of worship but Allah and Allah is the greatest and there is no power and might except from Allah. The Most High, The Great O Allah, I take refuge in You lest I should commit shirk with You knowingly and

I seek Your forgiveness for what I do unknowingly....Ameen
