We
are living in a world of uncertainty and misconceptions. Man
is beginning to question the very roots of his
beliefs for Allah Almighty and the Holy Prophet Sall Allahu
alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim, to create doubt in the minds of
the simple and un suspecting Muslims.
Here
is proof from QUR'AN, Ahadith-e-Nabawi (Sallallaho Alaihi Wasallam),
Sayings of Sahab-e-Kiram and from the writings of great and
authentic scholars of Islam and writings of those who declare
this as SHIRK, BID'AT etc. which show beyond a shadow of a doubt
that Visiting Graves and Shrines of Anbia (Alaihimus Salam)
and Aulia ALLAH (Rehmatullah Alaihi Ajamaien) is Lawful.
