"You can't talk to a dead man"

After the earlier blog on Talking to the Prophet, someone said, "You're forgetting the Prophet (صلي الله عليه و سلم) is dead. It's shirk to try and talk to a dead man."

Astagfirullah... Kill the memory of the man who was sent as a mercy to mankind, why don't you?

Our generation is being robbed of an immense opportunity for salvation by those who try and downplay the role of the Prophet(صلي الله عليه و سلم). Don't let them tell you the Prophet (صلي الله عليه و سلم)can't hear you. Don't let them tell you these is no such thing as intercession. If you do, you will be poorer for it.

• Are prophets alive in their graves?
• Isn't Tawassul Just A Form Of Shirk?
• Istighatha: Calling Someone Other Than Allah for Help
• Tawassul Through the Awliya
• Abu Hanifa & Tawassul
• Al-Shafi`i's Tawassul with Abu Hanifa - Allah be well-pleased with them
• Calling on Other than Allah?
• Is it disliked or an innovation to send blessings on the Prophet (Allah bless him & give him peace) aloud after Adhan?
