[quote][quote]men and women both must not visit mazars as they do the acts of shirk there [}:)] asking the saints/dead saints to listen to their supplications[/quote][blue]My research on the subject has brought to light two categories of people who go to 'mazars'(graves of those who are considered to be awliya of allah)

Category 1. Those who very well know that those in the graves are in a different plane called [i]barzakh[/i] from where they can neither hear us nor can be communicated by us.

Such people visit the Mazars to send their Salams to the person in the grave and ask Allah to increase their comforts in barzakh and later in heaven for all that they have done to humanity. They also ask Allah some personal favours for having come all the way and prayed for the 'awliya' at the Mazar.

They believe that Allah would be pleased with such an act on their part and solve their worldy problems.

Such an act is not recomended in Islam and hence is an innovation (bidah).

Category 2. are those who believe that the people in the grave can hear and communicate with you as well as intercede with Allah on your behalf to get your present worldly problems solved.

Such an act is Shirk.[/blue]
