Indeed all praise is for Allah and may peace and blessings be upon His Messenger Muhammad (pbuh), his family, his companions and all those who follow upon his way until the Last Day.
A Comparative Study of Polytheist and those who believe in Oneness of God.
Once a Hindu happened to visit Ajmer Sharif in Rajasthan (INDIA), after observations he says: “I wondered that if there are any differences in Hindu and Muslim is only by names”.
Hindus Worship Idols
Muslims worship graves
Hindus worship call Rama, Krishna to seek help.
Muslims call Khawja, Dâta, Mushkil Kusha, Dastagir to seek help.
Hindus bring coconuts, incense stick, bananas, flowers to mandir (temples).
Muslim takes sweets (Jilabees), incense sticks, coconuts, flowers to Darghas (saint graves).
The people who sit at mandir is called pundit.
The people who sit at graves call Mujawar. Or Khadim
Hindus held once in a year grand yatras.
Muslim also held Julus yearly in the name of Baba's.
Hindus sings, praise bhajjans to the lords.
Muslim also conduct Qawali's in praising their babas/graves.
They prostrate and circumbulate in Mandirs.
Muslim too prostrate and circumbulate in Darghas.
They sacrifice, humans, animals to their Lords.

Now
If you ask any learned "Hindu" why do you worship idols? He will promptly say you, they are not gods, there are kept as identity to get concentration, and they will take nearness to God.
You know what………… The same answer was given by the polytheist (Muskrikeen) of Makkah at the time of Prophet(saws) and The Qur’an testifies it.
(The Noble QUR'ÂN -39:3)
If you ask the same question why do you worship graves to the grave worshipper? He will reply, the saints are not dead they are living, we consider them not as god, but we rather call them to get nearness to God. What is the reply from The Noble Qur'ân about their claim?
(HOLY QUR'ÂN -16:20-21)
Allâh (SWT) is not talking about the idols in the above verses, He is saying to grave worshippers, the dead doesn't know when he will be raised back, On the day shall We gather them all together; We shall say to those who ascribed partners (to Us) "Where are the partners whom ye invented and talked about. (The Noble QUR'ÂN -6:22).
Prophet (PBUH) said: "May Allâh curse the Jews and the Christians, for they have taken the graves of their Prophets as places of worship.“ (Sahih Al-Bukari 414, Muslim). Prophet (PBUH) said: "Do not sit on graves and do not pray facing them." (Muslim H-972), Narrator Abu Marthad Al-Ghanawi. Jundub Ibn 'Abdullaah al-Bajalee said that he heard Prophet (PBUH) said: five days before he died: "Verily those before you took the graves of their Prophets and righteous people as places of worship, so do not take the graves as places of worship. Indeed I forbid you from this!" (Muslim 2/67-68) Abu Hurayrah (R.A) says that the Messenger of Allâh (PBUH) said: "O Allâh, do not turn my grave into an idol. May the curse of Allâh be upon those who take the graves of their Prophets as places of worship" (Ahmad H-7352)
When our Prophet (PBUH) claims that he doesn't know the unseen(Ghaib), he doesn't have the treasures of Allâh, Don't take my grave as idol worship. Then how could we attribute such things to saints in graves and believe in these listed below: They listen (dead) to us inside the earth 7 feet depth. They understand the language whatever you speak English, Urdu, Hindi, Gujrati, Maharathi, etc when one invoke to them to seek help. They see us from the grave and reply us. They help us in our afflictions, and solve our problems. They grant us treasures, and bounties etc. These are the false claims made by "grave worshippers", they deceive the innocent Ummah of Islam, fill their stomach with fire of what they earn by. They erect huge structures (Mazars), with decorations and fancies, that none could remember death when one who goes there, only we loose our Iman (believe).
Shirk has many kinds. One of the greater shirk is Either to worship other than Allah, or to make partners with Allah in something that is specifically His. For example, to take someone as His partner in worship, obedience, love, fear, supplication, and seeking help. When one associates partners with Allah - regardless of who that partner is, such as a man, animal, plant, or inanimate object - one has perpetrated the Greater Shirk, examples of which are as follows: •To supplicate to that partner as one supplicates to Allah. •To love that partner as one loves Allah. •To hope from that partner as one hopes from Allah •To submit oneself in obedience to that partner as one submits in obedience to Allah •To fear that partner as one fears Allah. •To seek someone's judgement instead of the judgement of Allah's Shari’ah.
Worship Allah alone
