The ruling on one who memorizes the Qur'an and worships graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
There is a group of grave worshippers who memorize the Qur'an and are skilled in its recitation. When they recite it or hear it, they weep, and sometimes they faint from the intensity of their spiritual ecstasy, as they claim. Are these people among the noble, pure ones?
Answer:
Even the Christians weep; weeping is not proof. If a person memorizes the Qur'an and weeps, but he worships the dead and calls upon the dead for aid, then he is one who associates partners with Allah, just like the Christians—may Allah protect us from that. In fact, Satan memorizes the Verse of the Throne. He taught it to Abu Hurayrah when Abu Hurayrah seized him. Satan said: "Let me teach you a verse from the Book of Allah. If you recite it when you go to sleep, a guardian from Allah will remain over you. It is the Verse of the Throne." He said: [al-Baqarah: 255].
The point, my brother, is: The point is the deed. The point is the deed. So if a person memorizes the Qur'an, fasts during the day, and stands in prayer at night, but he worships other than Allah, or he insults the Qur'an, or he insults the religion of Allah, then he is with the disbelievers. We ask Allah for safety. Even if he fasts during the day, stands in prayer at night, and memorizes the Qur'an.

Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence
اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُThe point, my brother, is: The point is the deed. The point is the deed.
