Assalamalaikum brother in islam
this is a hoax and nothing truth in this story of sufism and its shrines
there are no shrines in saudi or sufis in saudi.
These are those people who are followers of barelwi who thinks there aauliya are not dead and nauzbillah our Prophet SAWS aslo not died in there graves.
Prophet SAWS said in one time infront of sahaba Allah put them in hell those who made praying space or bowed infront of there aauliah and made them present with Allah in there prayers.
Why these people dont read Quran and Hadees because there aauliah or elder stop them from doing this if they read with meaning then these people will know the reality and will leave them
so to keep ummah in dark and enjoy there superiority these are the acts they do against muslims people who are in path of Quran and Sunnah.
People from Quran and Sunnah does not call to pray for them They say pray as it was taught by Prophet SAWS and mention in quran and Sunnah.
If we do that we would get success else we would have to pay price for it on the day of judgement.
Jazakallah Khair.

As salam alaikum:
I just found this extraordinary story. It is not a fable, but a
description of something that was related by first hand people to
the author of the story (a well known honest muslim figure and an
experimented man of tasawwuf).
Here is an excerpt:
"Shaykh Mahboob's wife invited me one night for dinner. It was the
first time I had the opportunity to visit and chat with his wife and
the rest of his family in a less formal way. That evening I noticed
that there was a plaque on the wall, written in Arabic, and sealed
with a wax impression that appeared to be the standard of the royal
family of Saud. I asked about it and this is what I was told.
After he had performed his pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina, Shaykh
Mahboob [al-Gilani] remained in the Hijaz, teaching. King Abdul Aziz
bin Saud had just recently taken control of the country and was
under tremendous pressure from the Wahhabi scholars in Ryadh to
control the emerging influence of the Sufis in the Hijaz, as well as
the Shias and their interests in the shrines of the members of the
Prophet's family. Succumbing to their threats, King Abdul Aziz
launched a campaign against these two groups, by destroying the Sufi
shrines of the awliya' and those of the Shia.
Shaykh Mahboob after having petitioning the King on many occasions
to stop these activities met with treachery. The king had put a
warrant for the Shaykh's arrest. The Shaykh banded together with
others wanting to preserve these holy places, and waged battles
against any army that attempted to hurt or destroy these shrines.
The conflict raged on for many months. The warrant for the Shaykh's
arrest had become a bounty hunt as the king placed a large sum of
gold on Shaykh Mahboob's head. After some time the Shaykh was
arrested and brought to stand trial in the court of King Abdul Aziz.
The trial lasted for but a few minutes, the charges were read and
the sentence handed out.
The Shaykh was brought in front of King Abdul Aziz. Shaykh Mahboob's
head had already been wrapped in clothe and the axe and chopping
block were already in the courtyard of the palace. The king leaned
over to the Shaykh and asked if there were any last words. The
Shaykh began to recite several poems about the qualities of the
Prophet's family and how they should be remembered and cherished for
all times. The king was moved to tears. For not only were the words
of the Shaykh overwhelmingly beautiful but the king recognized those
poems as having been written by his grandfather and recited to him
almost every night.
The king ordered the clothe to be removed from the Shaykh's head and
for him to be set free. The king approached Shaykh Mahboob and
humbly requested his forgiveness. From that day the king ordered
that the shrines and holy places of the Sufis and the Shias be left
in peace. As a personal show of gratitude to the Shaykh, the King
decreed that from that day forward, Shaykh Mahboob would be the
guest of the kingdom on the pilgrimage to Hajj. The kingdom of
Saudi Arabia would cover all of his travel expenses and costs to
stay in Mecca and Medina. The Shaykh was given an official plaque
with this decree. It was this plaque, I asked about on the wall.
Prior to receiving this gift, the Shaykh had already performed the
Hajj for many years. When I had met him in 1983, he had already
completed over 100 pilgrimages to Hajj. As far as we know, he holds
the record for attending the pilgrimage".

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
