Knowing the Graves of the Prophets and the Jews and Christians Taking Them as Mosques
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner asks: Are the graves of the prophets known, such that the Jews and Christians have made them into mosques?
The Shaykh:
They are not known, and the graves of the prophets are not known except for the grave of our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). This is from the mercy of Allah; if their graves had been known, people would have risked [harm] over them, but Allah concealed them. He concealed them, and the graves of the prophets (may Allah's prayers and peace be upon them) are not known. Only the Jews and the Christians seek out and investigate that. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
They make an image of the righteous man or the prophet, they make a statue for him and they erect it in the church and they worship it besides Allah.
