THQ14: Allah on Tomb Worshipers
Tomb worshippers (Murda Parast):
Another trend of today is to worship the shrines built around graves of greatly blessed souls. These people who worship the good-old-dead saints of the past at their graves are called as Peer-Parast, Wali-Parast, Mullah-Parast, etc.
These kinds of people need No God, No Prophet, No Book – they’re satisfied in blindly believing & following their respective (self-made or real) Peers, Walis or Mullahs. Truth & false-hood loose identity to these believers and for them truth is only the commandments of their respective lead (Peer, Mullah, Wali, etc).
“This is just another Modern Innovation in Islam – An entirely UnIslamic concept”
—
A detailed study:
Just another harmful innovation in religion Islam today is Murda-parasti: Tomb-worshiping. In this age there is a growing tendency towards worshipping saints and seeking favours by visiting their shrines. Some people believe that the dead saints can fulfill all their wishes and some even go to the extent of prostrating before their graves. Some women say their child was not given to them by God but by the blessings of such and such a saint, Astaghfirullah!
This trend promotes worshiping the shrines built around graves of greatly blessed souls. Yes, I’ve seen people prostrating before them and perform circuits (Tawaf) around them as is done around the Kaa’ba. They believe that the souls of these departed saints are omnipotent and that this power has been transferred to them by God. If a miracle is asked for, thousands of miracles of the saint are related without a shred of evidence.
This innovation taken over by Muslims of today imperceptibly is a great sin: shirk meaning associating partners with God. Even a hint of shirk is unacceptable to God.
Qur’anic verse:
Surely, Allah will not forgive that any partner be associated with Him; but He will forgive whatever is short of that to whomsoever He pleases. And whoso associates partners with Allah has indeed devised a very great sin.’ (4:49)
The essence of Islam seems entirely lost as most of the Muslims appear misguided today. Many of the Muslim even worship them by praying to them for their needs and requesting their blessings. How foolish is it! Do they believe that the ‘dead person’ will grant them their wishes?
The lord never showed himself and did not allow saving the image or picture of Prophet Mohammad – Because these will only encourage people towards idol-worship.
Yet, these Muslim Tomb worshippers are actually NO different from other Idol worshippers; they are equal to those who associate partners with the One God: like Christians, like Hindus, like every other astray religion…
Associating partners with the lord actually means positioning those old saintly people in equal with God… How could a Muslim do this? Can’t he even follow the first commandment of being a Muslim?
Accepting the oneness of God is basically the First & ‘The Must’ belief of being a Muslim but the Tomb worshippers do Shirk that means associating partners with God, whereas it is widely known that God may forgive any sin except Shirk. It is a filthy practice to be got ridden of as soon possible. Good old saints are to be loved and respected but not to be worshipped!
—
A tomb-worshipper is NOT a Muslim because they do not believe in the Kalma. Let me explain…
A person is called Muslim when he accepts in entirety that ‘There is no God but Allah and Prophet Mohammad (saw) is his Messenger’ – yet these so-called Muslims associate many equivalent partners with God and claim to be true-Muslims, how horrible is it? This one sin is unpardonable… beware!
Fie on the Tomb Worshippers!
Tomb worshippers (Murda Parast) are then the same as Idol worshippers.
Generally speaking there is lesser tendency among Muslims of today towards worship of one God. They acquire greater faith in ‘Blessed Dead Men’ than God and the five-time-daily Salat appear cumbersome to them.
Actions at graves openly amount to clear Shirk, let’s see a few of them.
Muslims of today wish to merge with modern-day Hinduism as they’ve started adding partners to Allah – Astaghfirullah but this is true.
Check for yourself the similarities between Hindu & Misguided Muslim worship today and then tell me:
Hindus worship Idols: Muslims worship Graves
Hindus prostrate before idols: Muslims prostrate before graves.
Hinuds call Rama, Krishna to seek help: Muslims call Khwaja, Data, Dastagir to seek help.
Hindus bring coconuts, incense stick, bananas, flowers to Mandirs (temples): Muslims take sweets, incense sticks, coconuts, flowers to Dargahs (Saint Graves).
People who sit at Mandir is Pandit: People who sit at graves are called Mujawar or Khadim.
Hindus hold grand Yatras: Muslims hold grand Juloos.
Hindus sing praises called bhajans to their lords: Muslims sing praises of their babas called Qawwalis.
Hindus decorate Mandirs with expensive cloth and lights: Muslims decorate saint-graves with Good Chadar wrappings etc.
Hindus circumambulate (go around) the idols: Tomb-worshippers also circumambulate the graves.
Do you find any difference?
Is this Islam?
Did prophet Muhammad (saw) who taught Islam did this ever?
Is there a single Hadees (sayings of Prophet Muhammad (saw) which points to it?
Did ever any past prophet ask his followers to do this?
Did Qur’an command us to do it?
[Write verses of Surah Al’Shuara here]
Going back to the Dargah: A proof of me saying that Muslims of today have become Mushrikeen like Hindus is that… You’ll find Hindus in almost an equal number to the count of Muslims in a Dargah, because they find it so similar to their worship that they believe it easily. So you see idol-worshipping is not at all different from tomb-worshipping – any questions there?
My heart bleeds over the errors of worshipping the dead. For, what could be more painful than that a humble human being should be worshipped as God and a mere handful of dust be proclaimed as an equal or partner to the Lord of the worlds!!!
Islam forbids all of the above! Want proofs? Read what the Holy Qur’an says about people, tomb-worshippers:
‘And there are some among men who take for themselves objects of worship other than Allah (Arabic word for God, The One Lord), loving them as they should love Allah.’ (Ch. 2: V. 166)
[9:31] They [Tomb Worshippers] have taken their learned men and their monks for lords beside Allah… And they were not commanded but to worship the One God. There is no God but He. Too Holy is He for what they associate with Him!
[10:67] Behold! Whoever is in the heavens and whoever is in the earth is Allah’s. Those who call on others than Allah do not really follow these ‘partners’; they follow only a conjecture, and they do nothing but guess.
[10:37] Surely, conjecture avails nothing against truth…
[11:110] So be not in doubt concerning that which these people worship. They only worship as their fathers worshipped before, and We shall surely pay them in full their portion undiminished.
[12:41] ‘You worship nothing beside Allah, but mere names that you have named, you and your fathers; Allah has sent down no authority for that. The decision rests with Allah alone. He has commanded that you shall not worship anything save Him. That is the right religion, but most men know it not.
Let me recall you…
A scene at The Holy Prophet’s home:
At one time, Um Salama and Um Habeebah, who had both been exiles in Abyssinia, spoke of the beauty of the Cathedral of Mary there, and of the wonderful pictures on its walls. Overhearing them, the Holy Prophet said, ‘These are the people who, when a saint among them dieth, build over his tomb a place of worship, and adorn it with their pictures. Let the anger of the Lord be kindled against those that turn the tombs of their Prophets into objects of worship. Lord, let not my tomb be ever an object of worship.’
And doing something which the holy one forbids can only amount to disobedience and nobody claiming to be truthful Muslim would ever think of doing it. Check yourself.
Remember: It is forbidden to prostrate before anyone except Allah.
While praying the Dua-e-Qunnut every Muslim says to the lord that ‘…before Thee alone do we prostate…’ but unfortunately their deeds do not match with their words because they go prostrating before every peer at every dargah! What excellent lies! Absolutely unpardonable… be warned!
Dua-e-Qunnut: O Allah, we beseech Thy help and request Thy protection and believe in Thee and trust in Thee and we laud Thee in the best manner and we thank Thee and we are not ungrateful to Thee. And we cast off and forsake him who disobeys Thee. O Allah, Thee alone do we worship and to Thee alone do we pray and before Thee alone do we prostate and make obeisance and to Thee we flee and we are quick and we hope for Thy mercy and we fear Thy chastisement, for surely Thy chastisement overtakes the unbelievers.
[26:218] And put thy trust in the Mighty, the Merciful,
[26:219] Who sees thee when thou standest up in Prayer.
[27:60] Say, ‘All praise belongs to Allah, and peace be upon those servants of His whom He has chosen. Is Allah better or what they associate with Him?’
[26:220] And Who sees thy movements among those who prostrate themselves before God.
[26:221] He [Allah] is indeed the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
[27:63] Or, Who answers the distressed person when he calls upon Him, and removes the evil, and makes you successors in the earth? Is there a God besides Allah? Little is it that you reflect.
[27:64] Or, Who guides you in every kind of darkness of the land and of the sea, and Who sends the winds as glad tidings before His mercy? Is there a God besides Allah? Exalted is Allah above what they associate with Him.
[27:65] Or, Who originates creation, and then repeats it and Who provides for you from the heaven and the earth? Is there a God besides Allah? Say, ‘Bring forward your proof if you are truthful.’
[27:66] Say, ‘None in the heavens and the earth knows the unseen save Allah; and they do not know when they will be raised up.’
[27:74] And, truly, thy Lord is gracious to mankind, but most of them are not grateful.
[27:75] And, surely, thy Lord knows what their bosoms conceal and what they reveal.
[28:71] And He is Allah; there is no God but He. To Him belongs all praise in the beginning and the Hereafter. His is the judgment and to Him shall you be brought back.
[51:52] And do not set up another God along with Allah. Surely, I am a plain Warner unto you from Him.
Tomb worshippers beware!
The Holy Prophet adds: “Do not take graves as places of worship, for verily I forbid you to do so” and “Let the anger of the Lord be kindled against those that turn the tombs of their Prophets into objects of worship.”
Tomb worshipping actually list top amongst the FORBIDDEN things. Don’t you then understand?
Let me clear my point a little more lest you be confused…
There’s actually nothing wrong with visiting graves of people… I visit graves of many past saints.
Visiting graves will bring you closer to whom you follow/love/appraise… it’s all good, definitely lawful and you can certainly visit Shrines / Dargahs. BUT the problem starts when you start prostrating before them, when you start praying TO them (I beg pardon from Allah), or ask Mannat or claim that this particular saint accepts your prayers, etc. How could one believe that this particular dead saint can accept or fulfill your prayer and the living God cannot!?
Who taught you this? Did Rasool Allah (saw), the lead of all prophets, ever say to you ‘Worship Me’?
Did ever any prophet from the times of Prophet Adam (pbuh) ever ever tell his followers to worship him?
Does even one Ayat / Verse of the Holy Qur’an points to this point? No, Never!!!
Read the Holy Qur’an-e-Kareem my dear and especially read Chapter 26: Al-Shu`ara you’ll know everybody just said: [26:111] ‘So fear Allah, and obey me.’
Many chapters from the Holy Qur’an say it; leme show you just one reference from amongst the many:
[3:80] It is not possible for a man that Allah should give him the Book and dominion and prophethood, and then he should say to men: ‘Be servants to me and not to Allah;’…
[3:81] Nor is it possible for him that he should bid you take the angels and the Prophets for Lords. Would he enjoin you to disbelieve after you have submitted to God?
Pure commonsense, isn’t it?
You must obey and follow a Prophet but worshipping is solely for Allah! Please always remember.
And do remember what our Master and Savior Rasool Allah (saw) taught us to say when we go to see ‘people of the grave’:
Say: Assalam Alaikum Wa Ahlil Quboor (Peace be upon you, O People/Person of the Grave)
I DO NOT PROSTATE BEFORE THEM
NOR DO I PUT MY DESIRES BEFORE THEM TO BE FULFILLED
NOR DO I ASK MANNAT OR TIE THREADS or do the other kind of SHIRK that I see many innocent Muslims do.
These people though innocently but hold the enshrined people in an equal status to Allah… Astaghfirullah! Now this is just another kind of Biddat that has entered Islam.
—
Tomb Worshippers would now certainly say Me as the Holy Qur’an puts down:
[10:79] They said, ‘Hast thou come to us that thou mayest turn us away from what we found our fathers following…?,
Any Righteous Muslim would say:
[10:107] ‘And call not, beside Allah, on any other that can neither profit thee nor harm thee. And if thou didst so, thou wouldst then certainly be of the wrongdoers.’”
[10:67] Behold! Whoever is in the heavens and whoever is in the earth is Allah’s. Those who call on others than Allah do not really follow these ‘partners’; they follow only a conjecture, and they do nothing but guess.
[10:37] And most of them follow nothing but conjecture. Surely, conjecture avails nothing against truth. Verily, Allah is well aware of what they do.
[12:107] And most of them believe not in Allah without at the same time attributing partners to Him.
Allah warns the Tomb Worshipers:
[2:166] And there are some among men who take for themselves objects of worship other than Allah, loving them as they should love Allah. But believers are stronger in their love for Allah and if those who transgress could now see the time when they shall see the punishment, they would realize that all power belongs to Allah and that Allah is severe in punishing.
[2:167] Aye, they would certainly realize if they could see the time when those who were followed (they followed) shall disown their followers and shall see the punishment, and all their ties shall be cut asunder.
[2:171] And when it is said to them, ‘Follow that which Allah has sent down,’ they say: ‘Nay, we will follow that wherein we found our fathers.’ What! even if their fathers had no sense at all, no guidance and followed not the right path.
Ok, answer me a commonsense question now:
Please tell me: If your father invests in certain business or pursues a certain interest which only led him to fail or maybe utterly destroyed the well-being of your family… for e.g. Say: If your father was a drunkard, or a druggist, or a murderer… would you still follow him? No, you will not! You make sure to stay away from such and such ways of life… you do not blindly follow him there. Why? Because you know the difference between right and wrong ways of life.
Now comes another question: You choose to reject his ways of life if he was wrong in the worldly matters, then why do you blindly follow him when he is wrong in spiritual matters?
Remember! Your father and fore-fathers were only human, prone to err as ever.
What if he was never rightly guided?
What if he was never explained the difference between the right way and the wrong way?
What if he was never interested in religion or any religious matters seriously?
What if he was supposed to belong to Kalyug (the dark days) and you are supposed to belong to Satyuga (the bright days)? Won’t you still want to change?
Join the righteous – Do not destroy yourself and your progeny while you are being rightly guided: You’ve been warned!
Our parents are only humans, could go wrong. See what Allah says about this in the Holy Qur’an:
[37:70] They indeed found their fathers erring,
[37:71] And they hurried on in their footsteps.
[37:72] And most of the ancient peoples had erred before them,
[37:73] And We had sent Warners among them.
[37:74] Behold, then, how evil was the end of those who were warned,
So the fate of those who do wrong shall surely be like the fate, of their fellows of old; [51:60]
Woe to those who disbelieve [In Allah]. [51:61]
Allah in the Holy Qur’an recommends Mohammad (saw) as the Only One Perfect Model made for all mankind, to be followed, so that we only follow right ways of life.
Chapter 21:108: And We have not sent thee but as a mercy for all peoples.
God says to Mohammad (saw): Proclaim! ‘O mankind, truly I am Allah’s Messenger to you all’… (Ch.7:V.159)
(Chapter 33:46: O Prophet! Truly We have sent thee as a Witness, and a Bearer of glad tidings, and a Warner,
Chapter 33:22: Verily you have in the Prophet of Allah an excellent model, for him who hopes to meet Allah and the Last Day and who remembers Allah much.
He is but yeah only a human: He is NOT to be worshipped.
I say…
[10:107] ‘And call not, beside Allah, on any other that can neither profit thee nor harm thee. And if thou didst so, thou wouldst then certainly be of the wrongdoers.’”
[10:67] Behold! Whoever is in the heavens and whoever is in the earth is Allah’s. Those who call on others than Allah do not really follow these ‘partners’; they follow only a conjecture, and they do nothing but guess.
[10:37] And most of them follow nothing but conjecture. Surely, conjecture avails nothing against truth. Verily, Allah is well aware of what they do.
[11:110] So be not in doubt concerning that which these people worship. They only worship as their fathers worshipped before, and We shall surely pay them in full their portion undiminished.
[11:120] Save those on whom thy Lord has had mercy, and for this has He created them. But the word of thy Lord shall be fulfilled: ‘Verily, I will fill Hell with the disobedient Jinn and men all together.’
[12:41] ‘You worship nothing beside Allah, but mere names that you have named, you and your fathers; Allah has sent down no authority for that. The decision rests with Allah alone. He has commanded that you shall not worship anything save Him. That is the right religion, but most men know it not.
Truth however remains that:
[12:107] …most of them believe not in Allah without at the same time attributing partners to Him.
O Momins! O Muslims!
“Put your trust in the Living One, Who will never die, and glorify Him with His praises; Sufficient He is, in being aware of the sins of His servants.” [Soorah al-Furqaan 25: 59]
“… those whom you worship beside Allah have no power to provide sustenance for you. Then seek with Allah your sustenance and worship Him (alone), and be grateful to Him. To Him (Alone) you will be brought back.” [Soorah al-Ankaboot 29:18]
And if you reject the truth, then the generations before you also rejected it. And the Messenger is only responsible for the clear delivery of the Message. [29:19]
Many religions accept the fact that ‘God is One’ and yet they are found worshipping idols or dead-men. When asked as why do you worship these when you know that the One God is invisible they say that these are not Gods; they are kept as identity to get concentration and that these will help them get more nearer to the Lord.
The same answer was given by the polytheist of Makkah at the time of Prophet (saw) and the Qur’an testifies it…
Check this: [39:4] Surely, sincere obedience is due to Allah (alone) and (as for) those who take protectors besides Him, say: We serve them only that they may bring us near to Allah in station.’
Surely, Allah will judge between them concerning that wherein they differ. Surely, Allah guides not him who is an ungrateful liar.
If you ask the same question to the grave worshipper that why do you worship graves? He will reply that we consider them not as God but we rather call them to get nearness to God.

Few Muslims mistakenly believe that these saints are their intercessors:
The Holy Qur’an answers them:
[10:19] And they worship, instead of Allah, that which neither harms them nor profits them; and they say, ‘These are our intercessors with Allah.’ Say, ‘Would you inform Allah of something He knows not in the heavens or in the earth?’ Holy is He, and high exalted above all that which they associate with Him
[12:41] ‘You worship nothing beside Allah, but mere names that you have named, you and your fathers; Allah has sent down no authority for that. The decision rests with Allah alone. He has commanded that you shall not worship anything save Him. That is the right religion, but most men know it not.
Tomb worshippers are NO different from Idol worshippers like Hindus or they are actually similar to those who associate partners with the One God, like Christians.
The lord never showed himself and did not allow saving the image or picture of Prophet Mohammad – Because these will only encourage people towards idol-worship.
And there are some among men who take for themselves objects of worship other than the Lord, loving them as they should love the lord. (Ch. 2: V. 166)
And the Tomb-Worshipers add: These saints are not dead, they are living,.. Let’s see what’s the reply from the noble Quran about their claim now?
[16:21] And those on whom they call beside Allah, create not anything, but they are themselves created.
“They are dead, not living; and they know not when they will be raised.” (16:21)
[21:99] ‘Surely, you and that which you worship beside Allah are the fuel of Hell. To it you will all come.’
Any one who worships anything besides Allah, associates anything with Allah is ruined.
The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) was so particular about the spiritual training of his Companions that he would say that even a little hypocrisy is shirk. He said, ‘avoid shirk, it is more subtle than footprints [on soft soil]’.
Many people start following practices without thinking and simply imitate others. Present Muslims seem to have no idea of real Islam. They only follow what they hear or what their local tradition has taught them.
I believe the current human race has the worst kind of disbelievers in it, very pathetic is our condition! It’s only that we do not know about it or maybe that we do not really care.
How senseless does it sound to worship (or actually consider God) few of the dead men (blessed Prophets / great saints) or may I say how foolish is it to pray to the buried men of the past or to prostate before them as if they are near and God is far?
Whereas Allah clearly says in the Qur’an:
And when My servants ask thee about Me, say: I am near. I answer the prayer of the supplicant when he prays to Me. So they should hearken to Me and believe in Me, that they may follow the right way. (Ch.2:V.187)
Pray unto Me; I will answer your prayer. (Ch.40:V.61).
A great verse: ‘…I am closer to him (man) than even his Jugular vein. (Ch.50:V.17)
How little is their trust on the almighty! I pity them.
Almost every big & small city in India & Pakistan has a Dargah / tomb of a saint & that’s become a worship place for all tomb worshippers! Prophet Mohammad (saw) had so clearly warned people against the evil of tomb worshiping and yet today we see Muslims worshiping Tombs!
Astaqfiruallah-e-Rabbi Min Kulli Zanbinn Wa’Atoobu Ilaihi. [I beg pardon from Allah, my Lord, from all my sins and turn to Him.]
Dear Reader! Spread this amongst your friends: If they’re on the wrong path, you can lead them to the right, Insha’Allah!
See my dear, we all follow things that we see our parents doing or whatever seems traditional, but factually many of current Muslim concepts are corrupted and innocent Muslims follow whatever the Mullah/Moulana/Peer etc say. Rasool Allah (saw) The Holy Prophet Mohammad himself had predicted the ruining of Islam in the latter days and said:
“There will come a time upon the people when nothing will remain of Islam except its name and nothing will remain of the Quran except its inscription. Their mosques will be splendidly furnished but destitute of guidance. Their divines will be the worst people under the sky; strife will issue from them and avert to them.” (Mishkatul Masabih, Kitabul Ilm)
Big examples for my statement are few of the Mullahs of Pakistan/Indonesia/Arab/ whose judgments are contrary to the teachings of Islam: Where Islam stands for promoting peace – These stand to promote hatred and bloodshed! Not sure which Quran do they read or which Rasool / Hadees do they refer to or What Islam do they follow… They DO Not Follow the Islam, Quran and Rasool (saw) of Arabia at least.
Only this verse suits to the disbelievers of today:
‘O my Lord, my people indeed treated this Quran as a thing abandoned / to be discarded.’ [Al-Furqan, Vs. 31]
The question no longer is: How many Islamic things have they abandoned? The question rather is: How many have they not abandoned?
True it is today-: ‘You may find Islam in the books and in the pages of the Holy Quran the books of Hadith, and the books of the Imams, but not in the lives of Muslims. This is the stark truth about Muslims today.
So, be very careful my dear and do nothing that the Lord or his apostle forbids. May peace be with you forever.
A point to be noted:
Not only Muslims of today follow the the corrupted Hindu practices but going a step more Muslims of today even follow certain Christian customs such as celebrating Halloween, birthdays, Valentines day, etc. Parents do not stop their children from doing so, instead they come forward to defend them saying, ‘We do not believe in their customs. It is only done to have some fun and amusement’. So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise if tomorrow young Muslims abandon Masjids and opt going to Church with their friends to kneel down before Jesus (pbuh) or Mother Mary (pbuh)and request bounties from them.
Iit is perfectly possible!
This has happened in the past and it wouldn’t be shocking at all if history is repeated. To tell you the details, many Christian missionaries find it very easy to convert Muslims into Christians. The only strong hold they have against us is our weakness.
Muslims mistakenly believe the very old Jesus of Nazareth is alive in the 4th or 5th sky which is exactly similar to the Christian belief of ascension of Jesus. Now these Christians prove the superiority of their religion saying that Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is alive not only according to our beliefs but also according to your religious beliefs and you accept that your own Prophet Mohammad (saw) is dead.
“Mohammad is confirmed dead according to concepts yet prophecies in both of our scriptures talk about Jesus coming back to rule in the last of days.”
So isn’t it just wise to follow the living prophet that to follow a dead one? And so these Muslims are lured into following Christianity… Search into the History and you’ll find hundreds of such examples. Many wise Muslims scholars of the past accepted Christianity with ease abandoning Islam of whose truths they are very least informed.
Dear Muslims, it is very important that you understand the threat that lies under these petty practices. These small mistakes of today will gradually and undoubtedly pave way for bigger mistakes later on. Today these appear trivial or just harmless fun, for now, but in reality are so harmful that they will be accepted as a part of Islam by the future generations. A good example is tomb-worshipping itself – it isn’t a part of Islam yet today it has become a trademark of Muslims.
I recommend that all Muslims, no matter to which of the 73 sections they belong, should endeavor to avoid bringing these innovations into Islamic society – Keep your religion clean as YOU are made the custodians to carry it on to future generations. If you mix a bit of this and bit of that to it today, the future generations will find it as a mess of confused and corrupted concepts which will only lessen their faith in religion, thus directing them towards atheism which is turning out to be the most favorable religion today. It is important to fight and fight again, and keep fighting, for only then can evil be kept at bay though never quite eradicated.
May Allāh enable us to be among those who receive Allāh’s favours and merit His blessings. Āmīn.

And here’s a fun-fact: Many people throw coins in certain fountains, rivers, etc and request wishes – absolutely nonsensical! Few people consider certain flowers as ‘wish-flowers’, etc and beg it to fulfill their desires – ridiculous!
Go around the world and you’ll find varied varieties of worshipping practices by ignorant people that will make you hit your head to the nearest wall… ha ha ha
I pity them.

My Dear Reader:
‘Proofs have indeed come to you from your Lord; so whoever sees, it is for his own good; and whoever becomes blind (ignores it, rejects it), it is to his own loss. And I am not a guardian over you.’ (Ch6:V105)
‘… And if thou couldst only see, when the wrongdoers are in the agonies of death…. …This day shall you be awarded the punishment of disgrace because of that which you spoke against God falsely and because you turned away from His Signs with disdain.’ (Ch6:V94)
‘O company of men! Did not Messengers come to you from among yourselves who related to you My Signs and who warned you of the meeting of this your day?’(Ch6:V131)
‘The messengers are sent because thy Lord would not destroy the towns unjustly while their people were unwarned.’ (Ch6:V132)
[17:16] He who follows the right way follows it only for the good of his own soul: and he who goes astray, goes astray only to his own loss. And no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another. We never punish until We have sent a Messenger.
[18:30] And say, ‘It is the truth from your Lord; wherefore let him who will, believe, and let him who will, disbelieve.’ Verily, We have prepared for the wrongdoers a fire whose flaming canopy shall enclose them. And if they cry for help, they will be helped with water like molten lead which will burn the faces. How dreadful the drink, and how evil is the Fire as a resting place!

QURAN ON DELIVERY OF THE HOLY MESSAGE (QURAN) TO THE WHOLE OF MANKIND
41:34. And who is better in speech than he who invites men to Allah and does righteous deeds and says, `I am, surely, of those who submit?’
16:126. Call unto the way of thy Lord with wisdom and goodly exhortation and argue with them in a way that is best. Surely, thy Lord knows best who has strayed from HIS way; and HE also knows those who are rightly guided.

For those who are checking the verses of Quran from this message, please subtract 1 from all verse count stated, as I count ‘Bismillah’ occurring before the start of every Surah (Chapter) as the first aayat (verse) of every Surah so my number will be +1 to yours.
Reason being… God, in the prophecy of Deuteronomy 20:18-19, had said to Moses (pbuh) that: “I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.”
So it clearly meant that all whatever is recorded in the Quran are God’s words and not Mohammad (pbuh)’s! And so all the chapters in The Holy Quran start with ‘In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful’ or ‘Bismillah-Hir-Rahman-Nir-Raheem’ except Surah 9 Al’Tauba (alone) which doesn’t start with it ONLY because is not a separate Surah in-itself but a part of Surah Al’Anfal.
Ahmadi Muslims believe that ‘Bismillah… Raheem’ is the first verse of each surah, and we believe (and this is true), that Bismillah was revealed with each Surah like other verses and so it is the start of each Surah, that is why we count Bismillah as verse number One while the other Muslim unfortunately don’t.

Spread light, spread this message and all details as much as you can and to as many as you ever can, in as many languages as you can, in all the ways you can… Because there are many out there who are on the wrong path. All of us have to turn to the almighty, the only one Lord of the worlds. And remember: The ink of scholar is more valuable than blood of martyr.
Even God says in the Qur’an-e-Kareem:
[9:122] …Why, then, does not a party from every section of them [believers] go forth that they may become well versed in religion, and that they may warn their people when they return to them, so that they may guard against evil?
All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of all the worlds
Say, “La ilaha il Allah, Muhammad-ur-Rasool-Allah” meaning “There is none worthy of worship but Allah, Muhammad [peace be upon him] is the messenger of Allah.”
