and due to the negativity of many religious figures such evils increased and spread in most of Muslim countries. Consequently, many people committed Shirk and did exactly as had been done by people of Jahiliyyah (pre­Islamic time of ignorance) who worshiped idols such as Al­Lat, Al­`Uzza, Manat, etc.. They said as Allah tells about them in the Glorious Qur'an: These are our intercessors with Allâh. , We worship them only that they may bring us near to Allâh. To make it more clear, scholars mentioned that if a grave is placed in a Masjid, it is Wajib that the grave is exhumed and taken away from the Masjid. On the contrary, if a grave is in a certain place and a Masjid is built over it, the Masjid should be demolished and removed, for it is the reason for the existence of Munkar. This is because the Messenger (peace be upon him) warned against building Masjids over graves, cursed the Jews and the Christians for doing so, forbade his Ummah (nation) to imitate them, and said to `Aly (may Allah be pleased with him): Spare no portrait unwiped out, and leave not a high grave unleveled. I ask Allah to set right the affairs of all Muslims, bestow upon them the sound understanding of their Din (religion), set right their authorities, unify their word on righteousness, guide them to apply the rulings of Shari`ah, and beware of all that opposes it. Verily, Allah is the Most Bountiful, the Most Generous.
