'''Grave worshiping''' is a custom in some religious group of praying at the [[grave]] of a [[saint]].

==Islam==
In some [[Muslim]] countries, the [[Mausoleum]] of [[Sufi]]s have been turned into pilgrimage sites where [[pilgrim]]s pray to the holy saint. Some Muslims belief that dead saints can intercede to God and help them at times of distress.{{fact}}

===Controversal===
Grave or shrine worshiping by some Muslims is considered as major [[Shirk (Islam)|shirk]] ([[sin]]) by the orthodox Muslims as it is not permissible to do any act of worship to anyone or anything other than [[Allah|God]].{{fact}}
