Answer:
Bohra mom worships Syedna
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is no one (no idol, no person, no
grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 39 Surah Zumur verse 2-3:
So worship Allah Alone, making your religion His exclusively. Beware!
Religion is the exclusive Right of Allah. As for those who have taken other ‘auliyas’ (guardians) with
Allah (and justify their this conduct by saying): “We serve them only that they
may bring us closer to Allah.” Allah
will surely judge between them concerning all that in which they differ. Allah does not show guidance to any liar
and denier of the Truth.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 10 Surah
Yunus verse 66:
Note it well that all the dwellers of the
heavens and the earth belong to Allah.
And those who invoke partners besides Allah, follow nothing but surmises and merely indulge in
guess-works!
Worship is the absolute and exclusive right of Allah
Subhanah, and if anyone in creation worships or prays to any one other than the
One and Only Lord, Allah Subhanah wa Taala, they would indeed be guilty of the
gravest of abominations and most heinous of sins, ‘shirk’!
Beloved brother, this sin and crime of ‘shirk’ or
worshipping others with Allah Subhanah is so heinous and so grave in the Sight
of Allah Subhanah, that the Lord All-Mighty has declared that if one were to
die in the state of ‘shirk’, He would never ever forgive them and Hell Fire
would be their guaranteed destination!
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 5 Surah
Maidah verse 72:
Whoever commits ‘shirk’ (invoking anything with
Allah), Allah shall forbid for him
Paradise, and Hell shall be his abode. And for such wrong doers there will be no
one to help.
Allah
says in the Quran: Chapter 4 Surah An-Nisa Verse 48
Shirk (associating other deities with Allah) is the only sin that Allah does
not forgive, and He forgives, whomsoever He pleases, sins other than this. For whosoever associates any other partner
with Allah, does indeed forge a big lie and commits the most heinous sin
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 39 Surah
Zumar verse 65-66:
If you commit ‘shirk’ all your works will be
rendered vain and you will be among the losers. Therefore, you should
worship Allah Alone, and be among His
grateful servants.
My beloved brother, had your beloved mother known that
worshipping and praying to her syedna is ‘shirk’ in the Sight of Allah, and had
she known the Wrath and Anger of Allah Subhanah on those who practice ‘shirk’, she
would never ever have associated anyone with Allah Subhanah in her worship; but
her acts of ‘shirk’ are only due to her lack of the Knowledge of the Quran and
her ignorance of the Truth.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 66 Surah
Tahreem verse 6:
O you who have believed, save yourselves
and your families from a Fire whose fuel shall be men and stones; over
which shall be appointed fierce and stern Angels, who never disobey Allah’s
Command, and they only do as they are commanded!
My dear and beloved brother, as long as there is one
breath of life left in your body, it is your duty after you have accepted
belief to strive your utmost with absolute patience and wisdom to guide your
beloved mother to understand the commands and Revelations of The Lord
All-Mighty and try to save her from the Eternal and Everlasting torment of the
Hell Fire which the Lord has promised to those who die in the state of
‘shirk’!
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your brother and well wisher in
Islam,
Burhan
