Grave worshiping is a custom in some religious groups of praying at the grave of a saint.^{[citation needed]}

Islam

In some countries, the Mausoleum of Sufis have been turned into pilgrimage sites where pilgrims pray to the saint. Some Muslims^[who?] believe that dead saints can intercede to God and help them at times of distress. Others^[who?] consider this to be an act of major shirk (polytheism).^{[citation needed]}
