The Answer to the Doubt of the Grave Worshippers, Which Is That the Answer to Supplication Occurs at the Grave of a Wali

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : If someone were to say: “These people who have been tested by supplicating at graves may call upon the occupant of the grave and achieve their objective. You are with me in this doubt. It is a doubt raised by the worshippers of graves and those who assist them in worshipping graves. They say, ‘I called upon so-and-so the wali, and Allah answered my supplication.’ I seek forgiveness from Allah. ‘I called upon so-and-so the wali, and the wali answered my supplication.’ He had no children, so he went to so-and-so the master to his grave and supplicated, and a child was born to him. Does this happen or not? It may happen. It may happen. But if it happens, do we believe in this matter that occurred, or do we believe in the Lord of the Worlds? Answer, everyone. Why is the voice so low? Do we believe in what occurred, or do we believe in the statement of the Lord of the Worlds?
The student: The statement of the Lord of the Worlds

The Shaykh : The statement of the Lord of the Worlds.
And who is more astray than he who invokes besides Allah ومن أضل ممن يدعو من دون الله
[Al-Ahqaf 46:5]
Look, listen to the verse:
And who is more astray than he who invokes besides Allah those who will not respond to him until من أضل ممن يدعو من دون الله من لا يستجيب له إلى
[Al-Ahqaf 46:5]
When?
until the Day of Resurrection إلى يوم القيامة
If he kept calling upon him until the Day of Resurrection, He would not answer him.
If you invoke them, they do not hear your supplication; and if they heard, they would not respond to you إن تدعوهم لا يسمعوا دعاءكم ولو سمعوا ما استجابوا لكم
[Fatir 35:14]
This is the speech of Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
And on the Day of Resurrection they will deny your association. And none can inform you like [one] Acquainted [with all matters]. ويوم القيامة يكفرون بشرككم ولا ينبئك مثل خبير
[Fatir 35:14]
Now, how do we deal with this reality? We say that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, tests the servant by making the paths of disobedience easy for him, to see whether he believes in the news of Allah or believes in what occurred. Be careful, my brother. It is obligatory to believe in the news of Allah. It is obligatory to believe in the news of Allah. And what occurred is a trial. What occurred is a trial. And I will mention to you two examples: one from the Children of Israel and one from this Ummah.
