The strangest beliefs- Weekend Engagement

“I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?”
― John Lennon


Hi everyone. I hope you all are fine. The weekend engagement topics are here with some amazing topics for the week. I would like to share my thoughts on the strange belief that I have come to know about people that I personally know.

Before going ahead, I am in no position to judge the beliefs of people. It is their personal matter and I usually refrain from being judgmental. However, there are a lot of strange beliefs in our region which seem pointless and rather controversial.

This is a shrine that I personally visited to confirm that people do it or not and I saw so many people bow in front of the grave. These are my friends there.
I would like to share with you one belief that is asking from dead people. Yes, you heard me. We have a lot of graves and shrines here and people from lower social strata show strong reverence to these graves. These graves are mostly of sufi saints, important historical personalities. People come and visit such shrines and ask for their demands, needs and desires to be fulfilled in return they give their sincere devotion.

Now, I find it strange because what they are doing is wrong. The graves are the burial places of people like them. The people are dead and have no power to do anything. It is the almighty force who can do wonders. My religion strictly forbids this belief and practice, sadly people still indulge in these practices.

I personally have no beliefs of such kind. I do believe that whatever happens, happens for a reason. There is always something that we can learn and attain even from the worst possible situations. It can be a life lesson that can strengthen us in tough situations of life. It might sound strange to you, but it seems rational to me.

Thank you for your time and support. It means a lot to me. Do share your own beliefs with us all. What do you think about these beliefs? Have you ever heard of such beliefs?

Take care of yourself and have a great day ahead. Do not forget to follow my account for more such content.

I'm not a Catholic anymore, but I was raised such, and Catholics do the same with saints, but the idea isn't that the saint can of their own power do something magic for you, it's asking the saints to intercede on your behalf. So you are asking the saints to pray for you. This sounds like that.

Yes, it started like that, but now people pray directly to the shrines, sadly. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
