471. Sinners can also get to the proximity of God.

In these verses (12:87, 15:56, 29:23, 39:53) of the Quran, it is being conveyed that immaterial of the worst sin men would have committed they can still, get closer to God.

These verses also warn people against losing confidence in the mercy of the Almighty. These are reasons for the continuance of people who create equal to the Almighty. 

Some justify their shrine worship by asking questions like, since they have earned the anger of God for doing deeds against Him, they are shrine worshipping to get the support of those interred there, to get rid of punishments from the Almighty.

They say they do not have the moral right to ask God, since they have wronged against Him and traverse the wrong path. They argue that since they have wronged against God, and have violated His commandments they are approaching the so-called saints to help them.

They fail to realize the danger in their argument, they are approaching the saints to satisfy God, who is angry with them for disobeying Him.

Only people who believe Allah is all-anger and saints are more compassionate can argue in such a manner. To believe the saints are more compassionate than God Almighty is a cruel crime, and places God Almighty in a position less than that of the saints. Treating the saints in a much higher plain is a deplorable crime.

Allah points out their ignorance in the above cited verses of the Quran.

Allah guarantees in the Quran that anyone who asks to forgive cruelty after having committed a sin will be forgiven by Him, and He never mentioned anywhere in the Quran about prohibiting people from Him after they have sinned. And He further calls upon people not to lose their confidence in His compassion and mercy towards them.
