The word grave means the place of burial, that is, the place where the dead person is buried. And the word tomb has two meanings: to visit and the place of pilgrimage. Therefore, just as the burial place of any Muslim can be called a grave, the grave of any Muslim can also be called a tomb in the literal sense. Because it is lawful to visit the graves of all Muslims. There is no provision in the Shari'ah that the burial places of Buurg, Nekkar and Oli cannot be called graves. Nowhere in the Qur'an-Hadith is the word mazar used for the graves of saints. The graves of the greatest human prophets are also called graves in the hadith. Even the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is mentioned in the hadeeth in the word grave. For example, in a hadith narrated in Sahih Bukhari, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘The curse of Allaah is on the Jews and the Christians, because they have made the graves of their Prophets a place of prostration. (Sahih Bukhari 1/16) In this hadith the burial place of the prophets is called grave. In another hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said about himself: Do not make my grave a place of celebration. (Sunan Abu Dawood 1/269) So it was understood that no matter how honorable a person is, it is not wrong to call his burial place a grave. Therefore, the burial place of the Oli-Buurgs can also be called a grave. And the reason why the place of burial of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is called Rawza is because the word Rawza means garden. The purpose here is by Rawza, ‘a garden of Paradise.’ Since his grave is a sacred garden full of the blessings of Paradise. So in this sense his grave is called ‘Rawza Athar’ (Holy Garden). The second issue is the treatment of the grave The grave is not a place of worship. It is not permissible to do anything other than the things that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) taught about the grave (such as pilgrimage, peace and supplication). Prostrating at the grave, kissing it, lighting a lamp in it - these are great sins and shirk. There are many Shariah documents in this regard. The following are some hadiths related to this. In a hadith of Sahih Muslim, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Some of your previous ummahs have made the graves of their Prophets and Buzurgs a place of prostration. Be careful! You shall not make the grave a place of prostration. I forbid you to do this. (Sahih Muslim 1/201) In another hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed those who light lamps on graves. (Sunan Tirmidhi 1/73) In another hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sent Hazrat Ali (ra) with the command that if he sees a high grave, he will level it and if he sees an idol, he will crush it. (Jame Tirmizi 1/203) The famous book of Islamic jurisprudence Tahtabi Ala Marakil Falah p. 341 It has been said, do not wipe the grave, do not kiss the grave and do not touch the grave. Because that's the way of the Nazarenes. (More quotes have been mentioned in this regard.) Note that kissing the grave, prostrating, circumambulating, building on the grave, putting on the ghilaf, lighting candles and incense, etc., on the one hand is an abominable act in the eyes of the law, on the other hand it is an extreme injustice to the saints in the grave Because, they have struggled against shirk-bidat all their lives, but after death, all those things are being done in the name of devotion to them. In fact, they can be truly respected only by following the guidance of the Companions, the Tabi'een, and the Oli-Bujurgs, by adhering to their faith, by adhering to Tawheed and Sunnah, and by avoiding shirk-bidat and all kinds of superstitions. May Allah give us the correct understanding of the religion. Masnun method of visiting graves The sunnat method of visiting the grave is to go to the grave and greet. Then he will leave the grave behind and stand facing the Qibla and pray for forgiveness for himself and the people of the grave. In addition, by reciting some parts of the Qur'an, the gravedigger can be touched. 2999591967
