Your suggestion is not close to even a temporary fix. The aqeedah of the people will remain the same even if we remove the donation boxes from the tombs. Even demolishing these buildings will not make any difference. People , for example, believe that the dead "peers" or saints can listen to them in the graves. Demolishing the data darbar, for example, now will not stop people from beliving that this dead person lying in his grave is of no benefit to them.
When starting this post I didn't mean that some indviduals or a small group pick up spades and sticks and start demolishing these buildings straight away. But I want to convey my view that there is a great need for a strong, long-term and forceful movement in the Muslim world. This movement should focus on correcting the beliefs of the people and brining them back to the Tawheed of Allaah Subhaanuhu wa Ta'Aala.
This movement doesn't require that a party or group should be formed and a leader should be appointed. Instead, it requires every individual Muslim, who fears Allaah, to find the truth, seek it properly, and convey it to the others.
Obviously many people will ask where to find the truth? My simple reply to this questions is this hadeeth:
The Messenger of Allaah (salAllaahu alaihi wasallam) said, "The best of people are my generation, then those who follow after them, then those who follow after them, then there will come a people whose testimony will precede their oath and their oath will precede their testimony." Reported by Imaam Ahmad in his Musnad and also by al-Bukhaari and Muslim
As this hadeeth clearly mentions, the only true path is what the sahaaba, tabieen and ta-at-tabieen had a concencus upon. They have left for us the treasure of pure knowledge in the form of vast number of books.
To seek this truth every sincere Muslim has to become a serious student of knowledge of the Deen and learn it the way it was learnt by the sahaaba, tabieen and taba-at-tabieen. Once he or she is firmly grounded in the knowledge then he or she can convey it to the others. It will require a great effort and sacrifice on behalf of each individual.
As I said in the other post that becoming an "Aala Hazrat Maulana Sheikh-ul-Copy-Paste" on the internet is easy. The real hard work is to first find out the truth, then to find where lies the truth and then to seek it in depth.
My suggestion to everyone is that, for once, with an open heart and mind, ask Allaah Subhaanuhu wa Ta'Aala, in the sujood, at the time of tahajjud, to show you the truth and where to seek it.
"Verily, Allâh guides not the people who are the Fâsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to Allâh)".[Soorah al-Munaafiqoon, Aayah 6]
"Allâh chooses for Himself whom He wills, and guides to Himself who turns to Him in repentance and in obedience." [Soorah ash-Shooraa, Aayah 13]
"And those who have been given knowledge see that what is revealed to you (O Muhammad [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam]) from your Lord is the truth, and that it guides to the path of the Exalted in might, the Owner of all praise." [Soorah Saba, Aayah 6]
