Guys, don't talk disparaging about people who go to dargahs and all... It's not on us to decide if it's unislamic or not...
The way i see it, many of these saints(for lack of a better word) were instrumental in the spread of Islam here in subcontinent... So nothing wrong in celebrating there lives or whatever...
Majority of Dargah going people go there and raise there hands up and ask dua's, In islam you only ask God, that buzurgh needs dua, he cannot fulfil any ones wishes, he was a Human. Associating Partners with God is Shirk, and when people make that buzurgh equal to the ranks of God that is shirk. Only God knows the unseen and no one grants wishes other than God.
copy pasting from a site, this is proof enough I hope for it being unislamic
'A'ishah relates the following [
Sahh Muslim (1/376)]:
When death approached Allah's Messenger, he began putting a sheet of his on his face. When he became hot and distressed because of it, he would remove it and say: "Allah's curse came upon the Jews and the Christians because they took the graves of their Prophets as places of worship."
The Prophet was warning the Muslims against what they had done. Had it not been for the fear that it would be taken as a mosque, his grave would have been in an open place.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) was so stern in prohibiting people from taking graves as places for Allah's worship, cursing those who did so, because it is a practice that ultimately leads people to polytheism.
So what can we say about those people who actually direct their worship to the denizens of the graves, offer sacrifices to them, supplicate to them, swear oaths by them, or circumambulate their graves?
'Umar b. al-Khattb relates that Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: "Do not praise me excessively like the Christians praised Jesus, the son of Mary. I am but a servant, so call me Allah's servant and Messenger." [Sahh al -Bukhr (4/142)]
I just wanted to answer to your comment, If the Prophet SAW warned people about praising him, how can we praise a Buzurgh who is no way near the Prophet in stature.
lets not turn this thread into a debate about daraghs, if you have any other questions or comments pm me😊
