Sayyiduna ‘Allamah Mulla ‘Ali Qaari عَـلَيْـهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـبَارِی has said: Actually there is no difference in both the conditions (i.e. their life and death) of the Awliya-Allah. It is therefore said that they do not die but are transferred from one home to another. (Mirqat-ul-Mafatih lil-Qaari, vol. 3, pp. 459)

Visit of shrines cause of blessing

Dear Islamic brothers! From the details of these great Aimmah Kiraam رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی it has been learnt that the Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام, the martyrs and the saints رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی are all alive in their shrines and also have the authority to help people. Therefore, it was the routine of not only the people but also great Islamic scholars and learned people to visit the shrines of the blessed saints for solutions to their problems. Regarding this, let’s listen to 3 sayings of esteemed saints:

1.         A renowned Hanbali Muhaddis Sayyiduna Imam Khallaal Abu Bakr Ahmad Bin Muhammad Baghdadi عَـلَيْهِ رَحۡمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـهَادِی has said: Whenever I face any problem, I visit the shrine of Sayyiduna Imam Musa Kaazim Bin Ja’far Sadiq رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا and present his Wasilah. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ eases my problems and fulfils my desires. (Tareekh Baghdad, vol. 1 pp. 133)

2.         The spiritual leader of millions of Shaafi’is, Sayyiduna Imam Muhammad Bin Idrees Shaafi’i عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی has said: Whenever I need anything, I visit the luminous shrine of Imam-e-A’zam Abu Hanifah رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه after offering two Rak’aat Salah, and make Du’a, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ fulfils my need. (Al-Khayraat-ul-Hisaan, pp. 94)

3.         Sayyiduna Yahya Bin Sulayman عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الْـحَـنَّان has said that I needed something and I was very poor. I visited the luminous grave of Sayyiduna Ma’roof Karkhi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه, recited Surah Al-Ikhlas 3 times, and sent its reward to his soul and the souls of all the Muslims and then mentioned my need. As I returned from there, my need was fulfilled.
