THE ONENESS OF GOD

Muhammad (ﷺ) cursed the grave worshipers. And warned the Muslims against it in his dying moments, “May Allaah curse the Jews and the Christians, for they have taken the graves of their Prophets as places of worship.” (Narrated by al-#Bukhaari, 435; #Muslim, 529).

Muhammad (ﷺ) said, “Do not sit on graves, or pray (facing) towards them.” (Narrated by Muslim, 972).

#Muhammad (ﷺ) said, “No one should seek to me for assistance. Indeed, it is Allah (Alone) Who is to be sought for assistance and help.” (At-Tabarani)

Muhammad (ﷺ) said, “If you ask, then ask of Allaah, and if you seek help, then seek the help of Allaah.” (Tirmidhi, 2516)

The #shirk of #Grave_Worship 🚫

To call upon anyone (in the unseen seeking assistance) is Dua, and #Dua is worship. It is the exclusive right of Allah ALONE to be called upon (invoked) - sharing this with anyone else (whether it's calling Prophet #Muhammadﷺ or Jesus or "saints" or angels or whoever or whatever) is major shirk which expels a person out of Islam.

Prophetﷺ said,

🌹 “Du‘aa’ is worship.” 🌹  

(Then he recited the verse) 👇 

 “And your #Lord says, ‘Call upon Me; I will respond to you.’ Indeed, those who #disdain My worship (by calling upon anyone else) will enter Hell in humiliation.” [40:60] 

(#Bukhaari 714) 

"None has the right to be worshipped but He, so call upon (invoke) Him (Alone) making your worship pure for Him Alone." (#Ghafir 40:65) 

Say (O Muhammad): "I have been forbidden to worship those whom you invoke (call upon) 🤲 besides Allah" (#Ghafir 40:66) 

"And those who take #Auliya' (protectors and helpers) besides Him (say): "We worship them only that they may bring us near to Allah." (#Quran 39:3)

"They worship others beside Allah that neither profits them nor benefits them. They say: "These are our #intercessors with Allah." Exalted is He above all that which they #associate as partners with Him!"-

(#Quran 10:18) 

#Zumar 39:38

If you ask them: "Who created the heavens and the earth?" Surely, they will say: "Allah". Say: "Tell me then, the things that you invoke (call upon) #besides Allah, if Allah intended some harm for me, could they remove His harm, or if He (Allah) intended some mercy for me, could they withhold His Mercy?" Say: "Sufficient for me is Allah; upon Him (Alone) rely the (wise) reliers."

"If you invoke (or call upon) them, they hear not your #call, and if (in case) they were to hear, they could not grant it (your request) to you. And on the Day of Resurrection, they will #disown your worshipping them." (#Quran 35:14) 

"Do not call upon anyone beside Allah" (#Quran 72:18) 

"Verily, those whom you call upon besides Allah are slaves like you." (#Quran 7:194)  

"Verily, my #Wali (Helper, Protector) is Allah.. "And those whom you call upon besides Him (Allah) cannot help you nor can they help themselves." (#Quran 7:196-197) 

Say(O Muhammad), "I only #invoke(call upon) my Lord(Allah Alone), and I do not make any partners with Him" [#Quran 72:20)

Al-Kahf 18:102

أَفَحَسِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ أَن يَتَّخِذُوا۟ عِبَادِى مِن دُونِىٓ أَوْلِيَآءَۚ إِنَّآ أَعْتَدْنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلْكَٰفِرِينَ نُزُلًا 

Do then those who disbelieve think that they can take My slaves [i.e Prophets, angels etc] as Auliya' (protectors, helpers) alongside Me? Verily, We have prepared Hell as an entertainment for the disbelievers (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism).
