aid from the living or the dead in that in which they have no power or
capability is a clear instance of shirk (polytheism, assocation of
partners with Allaah in worship), the greatest of all sins. The books of
the Shia are full of this and it resembles the way of the extreme
Sufis. The Shia and Sufis have a historical connection with each other
and grave worship entered the Sufis through the Shia.Seeking Aid From the Dead and From Stones and Mud is Not ShirkAl-Khomeini
writes in Kashf al-Asrar, in response to the objection, "It can be said
that Shirk is to request a need from the dead because there is not
benefit or harm (that can arise) from a dead prophet or imaam, because
they are but like inanimate (lifeless) things" the following:"And
the answer to this presumption: First: You did not explain to us the
meaning of shirk and kufr such that we can consider everything we desire
to be shirk according to your opinion. And after it has become clear
that shirk is to seek something from someone besides Allaah upon the
consideration that that (other person or thing) is a Lord (rabb). But
whatever is besides that is not shirk. There is no difference in that
between the living and the dead, until even if you seek need from a
stone or mud (in the ground), it is not shirk, even though it is a vain
and false action."This
justification here is the very same as the one used by Sufis who claim
that directing worship to others besides Allaah, from the loftiest and
greatest of them, supplication (du'a) and seeking rescue (istighaathah)
and the likes, is not shirk, until and unless the person believes in
Ruboobiyyah for the one that he is invoking. And this is opposed to the
understanding of Shirk one gains from the Qur'an at even just a cursory
glance.  | |
