there is no war and no attack.you can just check this out by a brother since this thread was originally started on what you call "grave worship":

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-801527.160.html#msg9626194

we Shia neither worship the grave nor the dead when we visit the grave or the tombs of the Ahlul-Bayt (as) as you can see here from the post in the above thread:


Evidence from the Quran that building an edifice (structure over the grave) or building a place of worship (masjid) where the chosen ones of Allah (swt) are buried is allowed and is not shirk.let us take the “ashabul-Kahf” mentioned in suratul kahf in the Quran as example and how Allah (swt) allowed it:

“Thus did We make their case known to the people, that they might know that the promise of Allah is true, and that there can be no doubt about the Hour of Judgment. Behold, 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."(Holy Quran 18:21)

see also:


Visiting the dead and honoring their memory is a sunnah in Islam.
You say visiting the grave is a pagan practice.then how do you as a muslim intend to convince the Christian that when you visit the Ka’bah,you are not worshipping it? And that when we prayer five times turning towards the Qiblah (directiong of the Ka’bah) we are not worshipping it? When you do the pilgrimage to Makkah and you kiss the black stone,why is that not shirk and polytheism?

Oh I see: you will tell them that your intention is to worship Allah alone and you only acknowledge Allah (One God) as your creator and Lord who has power over all things.so why don’t you sunnis also see that when we visit the graves of the Imams,we don’t also worship them? You question the intention of the shia but you want others to believe your intentions.

Also just the way we believe that the ka’bah is a house of worship and the “house of Allah”,and we only honor Allah by doing the pilgrimage,likewise when we visit the graves of our Prophet Muhammad (sa) and the 12 Imams who are his descendants and pious members of the Ahlul-Bayt (as),we are not worshipping or glorifying the stone or the grave or the iron.we are remembering our beloved leaders and masters whom Allah (swt) is well pleased with.it is devotion and love for Allah that we love and honor those beloved to Allah (swt).where the members of the Ahlul-Bayt (as) are buried are lands honored by Allah (swt) to house the pure bodies of the pious members of the Prophet Muhammad’s(sa) household.when we pray there and make supplication to Allah,we only do it to Allah (swt). Just like when we face the ka’bah we don’t worship it,likewise when we visit the graves of the beloved ones,we neither worship the grave nor the person whose body is in it.

You can watch the below video and understand more on this issue with evidence from the Quran that visiting the grave of the chosen ones of Allah is permitted and is not shirk.the speaker is a Shia scholar speaking with british accented English for all to understand clearly:

Watch:Is praying in front of a grave shirk in Islam or not?
