Visiting graves
Visiting Graves is not Forbidden:-
There is some propaganda that it is sin or even Shirk to visit the graves. However, visiting graves is proved from Quran and Hadith:-
Al-Quran:-
84. And pray you never over any of their dead, and not stand over his grave. No doubt, they rejected Allah and His Messenger and died while they were disobedient.
In the above verse the Almighty forbade the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him) to refrain from visiting the graves of Hypocrites. In proves that standing and praying for the deceased Muslim and Momin on his grave is allowable and according to the spirit of Quranic teachings.
Hadith:-
Ibn Buraida reported on the authority of his father that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: I forbade you to visit graves, but you may now visit them; I forbade you to eat the flesh of sacrificial animals after three days, but you way now keep it as along as you feel inclined; and I forbade you nabidh except in a water-skin, you may drink it from all kinds of water-skins, but you must not drink anything intoxicating. (Book #004, Hadith #2131)
Pious and Noble believers are alive in their Graves:-
Anas b. malik reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: I came. And in the narration transmitted on the authority of Haddib (the words are): I happened to pass by Moses on the occasion of the Night journey near the red mound (and found him) saying his prayer in his grave. (Book #030, Hadith #585).
Authority of Prophets over the Angels:-
Abu Huraira reported that the Angel of Death was sent to Moses (peace be upon him) to inform of his Lord's summons. When he came, he (Moses) boxed him and his eye was knocked out. He (the Angel of Death) came back to the Lord and said: You sent me to a servant. who did not want to die. Allah restored his eye to its proper place (and revived his eyesight), and then said: Go back to him and tell him that if he wants life he must place his hand on the back of an ox, and he would be granted as many years of life as the number of hair covered by his hand. He (Moses) said: My Lord what would happen then He said: Then you must court death. He said: Let it be now. And he supplicated Allah to bring him close to the sacred land. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: If I were there, I would have shown you his grave beside the road at the red mound. (Book #030, Hadith #5851)
Wailing is prohibited in Islam:-
(32) Narrated Ibn 'Umar from his father: The Prophet said, "The deceased is tortured in his grave for the wailing done over him." (Book #23, Hadith #379)
