Proof that Ummah will do Shirk
Proof 1
The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said,"Surely, you will follow the ways of those nations who were before you, in everything as one arrow resembles another, (i.e. just like them), so much so that even if they entered a hole of a sand-lizard, you would enter it."
They said, "O Allaah’s Messenger! Do you mean to say that we will follow the Jews and the Christians?"
He replied, "Whom else?" (By meaning the Jew and Christians)(Bukhari(Book #56, Hadith #662) and Muslim,Narrated Abu Sa'id, r.a).
- Comment: Prediction of Prophet is completed and now people are following Previous people and doing shirk
Proof 2
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: The Last Hour would not come until the women of the tribe of Daus would be seen going round Dhi al-Khalasa (for worship) (Sahih muslim Chapter 15 : THE LAST HOUR WOULD NOT COME UNTIL THE WOMEN OF THE TRIBE OF DAUS WOULD GO ROUND DHI AL-KHALASA Book 41, Number 6944)
Imam Bukhari made whole chapter "باب تغيير الزمان حتى تعبد الاوثان" "Chapetr that time will change untill the worship of idols start"
Proof 3
Prophet Peace be upon him said:... I am afraid about my community of those leaders who will lead astray. When the sword is used among my people, it will not be withdrawn from them till the Day of Resurrection, and the Last Hour will not come before the tribes of my people attach themselves to the polytheists and tribes of my people worship idols. There will be among my people thirty great liars each of them assertinf that he is (Allah's) prophet, whereas I am the Seal of the Prophets after whom (me) there will be no prophet; and a section of my people will continue to hold to the truth - (according to Ibn 'Isa's version: (will continue to dominate) - the agreed version goes: "and will not be injured by those who oppose them, till Allah's command comes."(ABU DAWOOD, Book 30, Number 4239)
It is also recorded by al-Barqani, in his authentic book of hadith, with the addition; "...But what I fear of my Ummah is deviant leaders, and when the sword occurs between them, it will not be removed until the Day of Resurrection. And the Hour will not occur until a tribe from my Ummah unites with the mushrikeen' and until a large group of my Ummah worships idols. There will be thirty liars in my Ummah; each of them claiming that he is a prophet. I am the finality of the prophets; there is no prophet after me. And a party of my Ummah shall remain victorious upon the truth, they will not be harmed by those who abandon them until Allah's (subhana wa ta'ala) decree comes to them." [Kitab at-Tawheed Chapter no: 21 What Has Been Said Concerning Those of This Ummah, Who Worship Idols]Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan said in his commentary
Prophet (PBUH) stated that some of his nation would follow the polytheists and live in their homeland, and others would convert to polytheism, which has already come true as tombs, trees and stones have been worshiped........ At the end of this hadith Prophet (PBUH) gave glad tidings that despite all these calamities; a small communion of his nation would remain steadfast in their adherence to Islam without being affected by their enemies machinations.[Concise Commentary on the book of Tawheed Page 196]
- Comment: This is prediction of Prophet Peace be upon him
1. Last Hour will not come before the tribes of my people attach themselves to the polytheists
2. and tribes of my people worship idols.
3. There will be among my people thirty great liars each of them assertinf that he is (Allah's) prophet, whereas I am the Seal of the Prophets after whom (me) there will be no prophet; and a section of my people will continue to hold to the truth
Muslim Ummah will do shirk as Prophet (Peace be upon him) predicted.
for detailed article on Ummah will do shirk and the hadith Where Prophet peace be upon him said You will not do shirk is for Sahaba see here an awesome article source: http://www.umm-ul-qura.org/info/user_pages/page.asp?art_id=151
[039:003] Is it not to God that sincere devotion is due? But those who take for protectors other than God (say): "We only serve them in order that they may bring us nearer to God." Truly God will judge between them in that wherein they differ. But God guides not such as are false and ungrateful.
[023:084] Say, 'To whom belongs the earth and whosoever is therein, if you know ?'
[023:085] 'To ALLAH,' they will say. Say, 'Will you not then be admonished ?'
[023:086] Say, 'Who is the Lord of the seven Heavens, and the Lord of the Great Throne ?'
[023:087] They will say, 'They are ALLAH's.' Say, 'Will you not then take HIM as your Protector ?'
[023:088] Say, 'In whose hand is the dominion of all things and who protects, but against Whom there is no protection, if you know ?'
[023:089] They will say, 'All this belongs to ALLAH.' Say, 'How then are you being deluded ?'
Comment: Mushriks did believe in Allah and in fact invoked Angles and idols of pious people like Lat. to get close to Allah, they were only means to seek Allah's proximity and they were not equating Allah and the idools.
In Fath ul Majeed Page 36 to 38, Shaykh Abdul Rahman bin Hasan is discussing the meaning of Ilah, I.e we should not worship anyone but only Allah, and he quoted the statements of "Zamakhsharee" "Taibi" Ibne Tamiyah" In Ibn al Qayyam' Ibne Rajab" "Al Biqa'i" on the menaings of Ilah.he said after quoting all this on page 37 and 38
The polytheists of earlier arabs disbelieved in the statement 'There is no God but Allah' verbally and practically. However recent polytheists verbally confess it though they reject it in their actions. One can find them pronounce it while worshiping others besides Allah, the Almighty. The signs of his worship are love, glorification,fear hope, Reliance, Invocation etc. Even their polytheism far exceeds that of earlier Arabs. If any of them afflicted with the calamity you find him invoking other than Allah,Sincerely thinking him to be more useful to them than Allah. . Unlike the earlier polytheist Arabs who used to Assign partners to Allah in times of welfare, but in times of distress and calamities they used to Allah alone with complete sincerity. Allah the almighty says "And when they board a ship, they supplicate Allah , sincere to Him in religion. But when He delivers them to the land, at once they associate others with Him"[Al Ankabut verse no: 65]
Comment: his arguments are fine because i myself have seen knowledgeable(according to them) sufis asking help from Abu Hanifa ra ,Abdul Qadir jelani ra and Prophet peace be upon him and Ali ra in the times of distress. He is not the first one who said this, see further the quotes of the muhadditheen on this issue.
Proof that Prostrating other then Allah is not Allowed
Proof 1
It is Narrated by Anas (May Allah be Pleased with him) that the Prophet Peace be upon him said:لا يصلح لبشر أن يسجد لبشر
“It is not appropriate for a human being to bow to another.” Narrated by Ahmad, 3/158; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, 1936, 1937; Irwa’ al-Ghaleel, 3/158.
Proof 2
Narrated Qays ibn Sa'd: I went to al-Hirah and saw them (the people) prostrating themselves before a satrap of theirs, so I said: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) has most right to have prostration made before him. When I came to the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him), I said: I went to al-Hirah and saw them prostrating themselves before a satrap of theirs, but you have most right, Apostle of Allah, to have (people)prostrating themselves before you. He said: Tell me , if you were to pass my grave, would you prostrate yourself before it? I said: No. He then said: Do not do so. ...(Abu Dawood Book #11, Hadith #2135)
- Comment: This is clear statement from Sahabi and Prophet Peace be upon him, see the creed of Sahabi that how he said in Response to Prophet's Question that if you were to pass my grave, would you prostrate yourself before it? and Sahabi Said No. and Prophet peace be upon him himself said Do not Do so, but here we can see in Shrines People Prostrate in front of Grave. (even according to some sufis its Haram but still they try to prove prostration in front of the Grave of Prophet Peace be upon him and Pious Scholars)
Proof 3
It is narrated by Aishah {May Allah have mercy on Her}: The Prophet {Peace be upon Him} was sitting with a group of Muhajirin and Ansar. A camel came walking all the way to the Prophet {Peace be upon Him} and prostrated before him. Upon observing this spectacle, his Companions said: "O Allah's Messenger {Peace be upon Him}! The animals and trees prostrate before you! And as long as they do it, we are more rightful in doing this to you (i.e. to prostrate before you)." The Prophet {Peace be upon Him} answered: "You must worship your Lord and pay due respect to your brothers." (Musnad Ahmad).(copied from taqwiyat ul eeman)
- Comment : Here how Prophet peace be upon him graded prostration to be worship by replying "You must worship your Lord and pay due respect to your brothers." we should respect Prophet peace be upon him we should love him more then our life but we can not bow down on his grave.
Proof 4
Narrated by Abdullh bin Awfi ra that Muadh bin Jabal RA came from Sham and he bowed in front of Prophet Peace be upon him, Prophet Peace be upon him said, What is this Muadh? He replied i went to sham and saw them (the people) prostrating to their Priests and Leaders, and i liked in my heart that we prostrate for you, Prophet Peace Be Upon Him said: Do Not Do So [Ibn e Majah: 1853,and Ibn e Hibban Authenticated in (Al Mwarid):129 and Hakim Authenticated in Mustadrak 4/172.]
Proof 5
Narrated by Jabir RA
".... We were travelling with the Prophet (Peace be upon him) when suddenly a camel came near “and prostrated to the Prophet (Peace be upon him)” The Prophet (Peace be upon him) asked: Who is the owner of this camel? At this some youngsters from Ansaar said that it belongs to them. The Prophet asked them: What have you done with it? They replied: We have been putting load (of water) on it since the past 20 years, now when he has become old and gathered excessive mass on itself so we made up our minds to slaughter him and distribute the meat amongst our friends. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) asked: Would you sell it to me? They replied: Ah! It is yours O dear Prophet (salallaho alaihi wasalam). The Prophet said, keep it but take good care of it until natural death reaches it.The Sahaba asked: O Prophet (Peace be upon him) we are more deserving of prostrating to you than the animals. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) replied: It is not allowed for anyone..

Various Proofs that Asking from Dead is not allowed
Proof 1
[002:186] And when My servants ask you concerning Me, then surely I am very near; I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he calls on Me, so they should answer My call and believe in Me that they may walk in the right way.
Prophet (Peace be upon him) said "Oh people, be easy you are not calling upon one who is deaf or absent. Indeed, you are calling upon One who is Hearing, Seeing, Near. Indeed, the One you are calling upon is closer to one of you than the neck of his riding animal"(al-bukhari 2992 and muslim 2704)
- Explanation of the hadith:
1. He said this to a people who were loudly supplicating. He informed them that basically their raising of the voice was not necessary for Allaah is not deaf or absent. Now this is speaking of Allaah glory and praise be to Him..
2. Having known this , now look at the people who will say 'Ya abdul qadir jilani help me' or 'ya shah naqshband help me' or 'Ya Ali help me'. .These people are calling people who are absent and do not have the ability to hear.
3. Allaah is the one who is All Hearing. He is the All aware aquanted with everything we do and THINK. Yet these people want to ascribe divinity to their saints by believing they have the ability to hear their calls.
Proof 2
The Messenger of Allaah (Sallalahu Alayhee Was-Sallam) advised Ibn Abbaas: “....When you ask for anything then ask Allaah only, if you need help then seek it from Allaah, and know that if all the people gathered and intended to harm you then they cannot do so except that which Allaah has destined for you....”(Sahih al-Tirmidhi 2043).
Proof 3
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:" احرص على ما ينفعك واستعن بالله ولا تعجز ، وإذا أصابك شيءٌ فلا تقل لو أني فعلت كذا كان كذا وكذا ، ولكن قل : قدَّر الله وما شاءفعل ، فإن لو تفتح عمل الشيطان "
“Strive for that which will benefit you and seek the help of Allaah, and do not be helpless. If anything (bad) happens to you, do not say, ‘If only I had done such-and-such, then such-and-such would have happened.’ Rather you should say, ‘Qaddara Allaah wa ma sha’a fa’ala (Allaah decrees, and what He wills He does),’ for (the words) ‘If only’ open the door to the Shaytaan.” (Narrated by Muslim).
- Comment
Prophet Peace be upon him clearly says seek the help of Allah, he never said make me tawassul in between you and Allah.
Proof 4
Quran states: And ask those of Our messengers whom We sent before thee: Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped beside the Beneficent? (43:45)
Ibn e kathir says:
.قال مجاهد في قراءة عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله عنه: (واسأل الذين أرسلنا إليهم قبلك رسلنا)
. وهكذا حكاه قتادة والضحاك والسدي عن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه، وهذا كأنه تفسير لا تلاوة، والله أعلم. وقال
عبد الرحمن بن زيد بن أسلم: واسألهم ليلة الإسراء
؛ فإن الأنبياء عليهم الصلاة والسلامجمعوا له، واختار ابن جرير الأول، والله أعلم.
Mujahid said that `Abdullahbin Mas`ud recited it: (وَاسْأَلِ الَّذِينَ أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْهِمْ قَبْلَكَ رُسُلِنَا)
(And ask those whom We sent before you of Our Messengers.) This was narrated by Qatadah,
Suddi from Ibn Mas`ud, may Allah be pleasedwith him. Yet this appears to be an explanation rather
than an alternate version of recitation. so meaning is that ask to those people to whom these messengers
were sent,Abdul rehman said ask to the anbiya, meaning in the night of meraj and ibn e jareer hold the first opinion.
- Comment:
It also refutes the creed that we can ask anbiya in this world because Abdul rehman said ask to the anbiya, meaning in the night of meraj and 2nd opinion is that ibn e jareer tabree knew it that it is impossible for Prophet (peace be upon him) to ask anbiya in this world (other then a miracle) so he preferred first opinion.
Proof 5
Allah says in Suarh al FatihaYou (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything).
Tabri Commented
وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ ):
وإياك رَبنا نستعين على عبادتنا إيّاك وطاعتنا لك وفي أمورنا كلها -لا أحدًا سواك، إذْ كان من يكفُر بك يَستعين في أمورِه معبودَه الذي يعبُدُه من الأوثان دونَك، ونحن بك نستعين في جميع أمورنا مخلصين لك العبادة.
(Wa Iyyaka nasta'een) : From You Our Lord we seek help for our worship and our obediance to you in all our affairs - no one but You. For the ones who disbelieved in you would ask the help of what they worshiped from the idols in their affairs, and we seek your help in all of our affairs, our worship being to you alone.
Proof 6Imam Ahmad recorded that Anas said that the Prophet said:
«يَقُولُ اللهُ تَعَالى أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي وَأَنَا مَعَهُ إِذَا دَعَانِي»
("Allah the Exalted said, 'I am as My servant thinks of Me, and I am with him whenever he invokes Me.') Allah accepts the Invocation[Commentary of Ibne Kathir 2:186]
Proof that Invoking is Worship
Proof 1
An-Nu'man ibn Bashir reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,: "Supplication is worship.' Then he recited, 'Call on Me and I will answer you.'" [.Adab al mufrad chapter 296. The excellence of supplication]
Ibne Kathir said regarding above narration
This was also recorded by the Sunan compilers; At-Tirmdhi, An-Nasa'i, Ibn Majah, and Ibn Abi Hatim and Ibn Jarir. At-Tirmidhi said, "Hasan Sahih.'' It was also recorded by Abu Dawud, At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasa'i, and Ibn Jarir with a different chain of narration.(Tafsir of the ayah 40:60)
Proof 2
(And your Lord said, "Invoke Me, I will respond (to your invocation).'') ﴿40:60
- Ibn Kathir in his Tafsir: Allah encourages His servants to call upon Him, and He guarantees to respond.....
- Imam-Qurtubi states in the commentary of this verse:
فدل هذا على أن الدعاء هو العبادة. وكذا قال أكثر المفسرين
‘Your Lord said: Call upon Me, and I will respond to you!’, this proves that invocation is the act of worship, and this is what most of the mufassirin are upon’.
Proof 3
Allah says
And the mosques are for Allah (Alone), so invoke not anyone along with Allah. (Al-Jinn 72:18)
- Ibn e Jareer Tabree Comments: {وَأنَّ المَساجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلا تَدْعُوا } أيها الناس { مَعَ اللَّهِ أحَداً } ولا تشركوا به فيها شيئاً، ولكن أفردوا له التوحيد، وأخلصوا له العبادة
(And the mosques are for Allah so invoke not) O people (anyone along with Allah) and do not associate anyone as a partner to Him therein, but rather single Him out with Tawhid (Pure Monotheism) and make worship purely and sincerely for Him (alone)
Proof 4
Allah says: And most of them believe not in God without associating (other as partners) with Him! (12:106)
- Tabree Commented
Their belief in Allah is their saying: Allah is our Creator, our Provider, who gives us death and gives us life; while their Shirk is to attribute partners unto Allah in His worship and invocation.
- Tabaree said
"The saying of Allaah Ta'ala ((And to your Lord turn all your invocations)) Allaah mentions is: "O Muhammad direct your fervent desires to your Lord, and not to any one from the creation since the mushrikeen from your people have made their fervent desires to gods and their associates". The people of Tafseer have also said similar to what we have just mentioned"[in his tafsir of Surah ash-Sharh (94), verse 8]
