him) whilst in this world, otherwise you can explain what these verses mean, or you can ask your Shaykh Yasin. THE DECEASED CAN COMMUNICATE EVEN AFTER THEIR DEATH In the war of Yamama which was fought against the false prophet Musaylma Qaddab, Sayyidina Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) waged a war against him. Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) was leading the army. Thabit bin Qais was a soldier in the army and when the war began he changed into new clothes in his tent. Someone said to him why was he doing such a useless thing and Thabit answered “when you go to see the King don’t you wear new clothes? I am now going to fight and I will die a martyr I will meet my Lord, My king, and this is why I am wearing new clothes.” Thabit bin Qais fought in the war and was martyred. Another Muslim found Thabit bin Qais’s armour, took it and hid it under a big cauldron and placed his camel’s saddle on top of it. Thabit bin Qais then appeared in someone’s dream and told them that he has two messages: one for Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) and the other message for the Caliph of that time, Sayyidina Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). Thabit bin Qais told the person to tell Khalid bin Walid ( may Allah be pleased with him) that after he had been martyred someone took his amour and hid it beneath their big cauldron and placed their camel’s saddle on top of it. He further explained that there was a white horse near the place the amour was hidden. His message for Sayyidina Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was that he had been meaning to free some salves though he did not have the chance to do so, therefore he wanted Sayyidina Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) to free those slaves on his behalf, and also to pay off his outstanding debt. These messages were passed on to both Sayyidina Khalid bin Walid and to Sayyidina Abu Bakr ( may Allah be pleased with them both). Sayyidina Khalid bin Waleed went to the place where the white horse was tied and lifted the camel’s saddle and the large cauldron and found the amour of Thabit bin Qais. Sayyidina Abu Bakr ( may Allah be pleased with him) freed Thabit’s slaves and paid off his debt. 31 31 See Isti’yaab, Ibn Abdul-Barr, Usdul-Gaba, Ibn Athir, Siyar-e-alam an Nubala, Allamah Dhahbi, Tarikh Ibn Kathir, Ibn Kathir, Al Isaba, Ibn Hajr Asqalani, Biography of Thabit Bin Qays 140
Ali: My shaykh also told me that when the Ahl al-Sunnah Wa al-Jama’a visit the graves of the pious they prostrate before them as they would in prayer and that you also sacrifice animals and make vows in the names of the deceased pious. (I seek shelter in Allah!) Qadhi: Your shaykh has only told you that which he has heard from other people. I do not think that he has ever even visited the grave of the pious himself, nor has he ever read any Ahl al-Sunnah Wa al-Jama’a books and it is due to his ignorance that he has said this. When one goes to the graves of the pious, no one prostrates before the graves. It is extremely unlikely, although if someone who is ignorant of the teachings of Islam prostrates to the grave, this is only due to their ignorance. Anyone who observes another Muslim doing this, will stop him from doing it and the Ahl al-Sunnah Wa al- Jama’a do not tell anyone to do such an act. The Khawarij think that if someone who is uneducated prostrates before a grave of the pious, he has immediately become a polytheist, but we, the Ahl al-Sunnah Wa al-Jama’a believe that person to be someone who has sinned. There are two types of prostrations: one is in the form of worship and the other is in the form of respect. No Muslim prostrates in the form of worship before anyone or anything else other than Allah. If they did, they cannot be said to be a Muslim as Allah Ta’la says in the Qur’an: 041.037 And of His portents are the night and the day and the sun and the moon. Do not prostrate to the sun or the moon; but prostrate to Allah Who created them, if it is in truth Him Whom ye worship. It is impossible that a Muslim would prostrate before other than Allah in the form of worship! If an ignorant Muslim goes to the grave of a pious person and prostrates before the grave he is not prostrating in the form of worship, but only in the form of respect. Even though this sort of prostration is also unlawful, it does not make him a mushrik (polytheist) or kafir (disbeliever), though it is a major sin. The reason for this is during previous nations Allah made prostrating to others in the form of respect permissible, as Allah Almighty says in the Qur’an: 002.034 And when We said unto the angels: Prostrate yourselves before Adam, they fell prostrate, all save Iblis. He demurred through pride, and so became a disbeliever. 141
