Guidance for those whose hearts are attached to shrines and graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask the Shaykh’s permission to pose a few questions before him, if he allows. The first question is that the hearts of some people are attached to graves, shrines, and the awliya (close friends of Allah); they seek from them a good and happy life. What is your guidance for such people, may Allah preserve you?
Answer:
May Allah bless you and reward you with good for this contribution. I mentioned in my talk that tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and singling out Allah for worship are what bring a good life and tranquility. As for the mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) who worships shrines, graves, idols, or any other thing besides Allah, he is in worry and anxiety. Allah has given an example of this, as the verse recited states, and it is His saying, the Exalted:[Az-Zumar 39:29] [Az-Zumar 39:29].

Allah presents an example: a slave owned by quarreling partners
اللَّهُ مَثَلًا رَّجُلًا فِيهِ شُرَكَاءُ مُتَشَاكِسُونَand another belonging exclusively to one man - are they equal in comparison? Praise be to Allah! But most of them do not know.
وَرَجُلًا سَلَمًا لِّرَجُلٍ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيَانِ مَثَلًا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
