Verse 21 of Sura al-Kahf says:<br \/>\nBehold, they dispute among themselves as to their affair. Some said: Construct a building over them. Their Lord knows best about them. Those who prevailed over their affair said: Let us surely build a place of worship over them. (Q 18:21)<\/p>\n<p>Does this ayah, tells us that we can build the mosque on graves of pious people?<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>It  is important to note the difference between &#8220;building mosques or places  of worship on graves&#8221; and &#8220;taking graves as mosques or places of  worship&#8221;. The latter, clearly being polytheistic practice, is prohibited  in Islam, while the former is not.  <\/p>\n<div>On  some occasions the Holy Prophet (sws) referred to a certain practice of  Christians and Jews of turning the graves of their pious people into  places of worship. This practice is contrary to the basic teachings of  Islam. Islam does not approve of polytheistic activities in any form. In  another tradition the Prophet (sws) is reported to have forbidden  Muslims from making his own grave as a place of worship, as was done by  the Jews and the Christians.<\/div>\n<div>It  should be noted that had it been prohibited to make mosques on graves,  the Prophet (sws) would not have agreed upon building the first mosque  in <em>Madinah<\/em> in a place, which was formerly a graveyard.<\/div>\n<p>Building  mosques, for worshiping the one True God only, as a memorial for some  pious people can by no means be considered as prohibited. This is  exactly what those referred to in the Holy Qur&#8217;an did after they found  out that the people of the cave were pious people, who worshipped the  one True God. Thus, they tried to keep their memory alive by building a  place of worship of the One True God. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-02-21<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6583\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My question is regarding building mosques on graves.
