Once a Hindu passed by a Mazar in Rajastan, India. Observing what was

going on, he said :‘I fail to see the difference between

Hindus and Muslims.’

Hindus worship idols

These Muslims worship graves

Hindus pray to Krishna and Ram for help

These muslims pray to Kwaja, Data, Pir Sajjan Saeen, etc

Hindus decorate the with idols coconut, bananas, flowers and incense sticks

Some muslims offer sweetmeats, coconuts, flowers and incense sticks

The people in Temples are called Pandits

The people sitting in the Mazars and at the ‘holy’ graves are called Majawiz and Khadims

Hindus go for Bary Yathra once a year

Some muslims travel once a year on an Urs in the baba’s name

Hindus show veneration for their gods by singing bhajans at the temple

Some muslims sing qawwalis to venerate their holy ones

Some muslims bow and prostrate at graves and mazzars

Hindus bow and prostrate in temples

Some muslims make animal sacrifices at mazzars

Hindus sacrifice animals and humans at their temples

Some muslims decorate their dargahs and mazzars in similar ways

Hindus decorate their temples with gold so they shine and glitter

Some muslims decorate their dargahs and mazzars with peacock feathers

Hindus use peacock feathers to decorate their idols

Some muslimsdonate money, gold/silver jewelry to their mazzars

Hindus donate money, gold/silver jewelry to their temples

Is this Islam?

If you ask an educated member of these groups if the object of worship is God, they will say no, it is just a symbol / reminder of Him that helps us remember /worship Him better.

Know that this is EXACTLY the same answer the idolators of Makkah used to give to the Prophet Muhammad SAW when he asked them about their idols.

Surely pure religion is for Allah only. And those who choose protecting friends beside Him (say): We worship them only that they may bring us near unto Allah. Lo! Allah will judge between them concerning that wherein they differ. Lo! Allah guideth not him who is a liar, an ingrate. (Az-Zumar 39:3)

NOW

Worship Allah alone
