Talk:Al-Baqi Cemetery/Archive 1

Biased article
This article seems to come from an Islamic but anti-Wahabbi pov and I'm cleaning it up as seems fit. Please leave a message here if you find any edits I've made to be inappropriate. Adlerschloß 18:04, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

—alsalamun `alaykum —It may come as a great shock, yet there exists the point of view within Sunni Islam that it is permissible to read the Quran over the deceased, along with asking others for help in accomplishing a goal.

—OK. Earlier, shirk was insufficiently explained. In this article I added the thought that the specific shirk being referred to was tawassul. And I added links to the Sunni stances on the subject. Shaykh Abd al-Rahman al-Shaghouri (Allah have mercy on him), master of the sciences of faith (aqida) from Damascus, explained, “Taking means is necessary, and denying that they are effective is necessary. Whoever negates means is denying the Wisdom of Allah, and whoever relies upon means is associating others with Allah.” No different from taking medicine when sick.

—In short there exist Sunni points of views on what is and is not permissible to be done with respects to the dead. And the shock is that the article before merely emphasized the Shia stances on the graves. Hence if anyone has a problem with these ideas, or think that the article needs to refer people to more distinct subjects instead of tawassul, please feel free to express that thought.

This article should not be biased any more both Sunni and shia views should be respected and information should be provided fairly. I understand The shrines demolished not graves also besides the issue of tawasul sunni or salafi has another reason for demolishing these shrines but unfortunately not mentioned here! they believe Muslims should follow the hadith narrated that prophet Muhammad order and prevent any type of building over graves
