Discussion of the apparent compromises by Muslims regarding the oneness of Allah, such as building mosques over graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : They said: "Did they make the gods or the objects of worship into a single object of worship?" They used to worship idols, as is well known. This is the oneness of worship. Have the Muslims fallen into compromising this oneness, the oneness of worship, the oneness of divinity? Unfortunately, they have fallen into it much, and very much. The manifestations of this compromise with this oneness are represented in many, and very many, issues. For example, building mosques over graves. Building mosques over graves. Why is a mosque built over the grave of a righteous person or a prophet? They think that in such a place, he is honored. How is he honored? Through worship at his site. This is associating partners with Allah in worship. Therefore, it was among the concerns of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the last days of his life, during his fatal illness, that he said (peace be upon him), three days before he died: Samurah ibn Jundub said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: , ." And the Lady A'ishah, as you know, said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), while I was holding him in my arms, and his last words were: 'The curse of Allah be upon the Jews and the Christians; they took the graves of their prophets as mosques.' She said (may Allah be pleased with her): 'If it had not been for that, his grave would have been made prominent, but it was feared that it would be taken as a mosque.'" And you see today what you see: the Prophet's grave in the Prophet's Mosque. Was the matter like this? No. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) died, he was buried in his house, not in his mosque. How could he be buried in a mosque when he said: Sunan an-Nasa'i 703Sahih (Darussalam)? And A'ishah, who narrates this hadith from him, said: , meaning that if it had not been for this curse issued by the Messenger (peace be upon him) as a warning to his Ummah that they would fall into what the Jews and Christians before them had fallen into, if it had not been for that, his grave would have been made prominent, meaning he would have been buried in open ground and not buried in a small room in a small chamber where no one can reach it, because it is occupied by A'ishah and the Mothers of the Believers. So what is the situation now? The history of this story is important. The oppressive politics intervened to get close to the common people, as you always and forever hear, with matters that appear to be religious but are in reality a deviation from the religion. They expanded and expanded the houses of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), in which is the noble grave, into the Messenger's Mosque (peace be upon him) in the direction of... it entered... and kings came and kings went, and so on. Everyone boasts that he serves the Messenger's Mosque (peace be upon him). And you now find the calamity growing with this strong warning in this hadith. This is a type of worship of these righteous people or the close prophets. As for in Syria or Egypt, it is very, very rare to find a mosque that does not have a grave in it. The Mosque of Lady Zaynab and al-Badawi, and the list is long of what happens there: circumambulating the graves. These, these are all worship, all worship of other than Allah. And that is a compromise with the oneness of worship or the oneness of divinity. The research on this is long; these are only glimpses to clarify the meaning of the oneness of worship or the oneness of divinity.
Indeed, those who came before you used to take the graves of their prophets as mosques. So do not take them as mosques; indeed, I forbid you from doing so.
إن من كان قبلكم كانوا يتَّخذون قبور أنبيائهم مساجد ، ألا فلا تتخذوها مساجد ؛ إني أنهاكم عن ذلكIndeed, those who came before you used to take the graves of their prophets as mosques. So do not take them as mosques; indeed, I forbid you from doing so.
إنَّ مَن كان قبلكم كانوا يتَّخذون قبور أنبيائهم مساجد ؛ ألا فلا تتَّخذوها مساجد ، إني أنهاكم عن ذلكMay Allah curse the Jews and Christians, for they took the graves of their Prophets as places of worship.
لعنة الله على اليهود والنصارى اتخذوا قبور أنبيائهم مساجدIf it had not been for that
ولولا ذاك
