Polytheistic doctrine in the Quran, prophets invoking the dead!
I am an atheist, not a Christian etc...
The Quran claims you should only invoke Allah ("YA Allah"), yet at the same time this "allah" endorses polytheist prophets who invoke the dead!
Salih invoking the dead after his nation had been destroyed:
[Yusufali 7:77] Then they ham-strung the she camel, and insolently defied the order of their Lord, saying: �O Salih! bring about thy threats, if thou art a messenger (of Allah)!�
[Yusufali 7:78] So the earthquake took them unawares, and they lay prostrate in their homes in the morning!
[Yusufali 7:79] So Salih left them, saying: �O my people! I did indeed convey to you the message for which I was sent by my Lord: I gave you good counsel, but ye love not good counsellors!�
Notice 7:79, Salih is addressing the dead in the vocative "YA qawmi".
What in the world is this man Salih doing invoking and speaking to the dead, telling them he conveyed the message from Allah?
Polytheist prophet 2, Shuaib invoking the dead after his nation had been destroyed:
[Yusufali 7:91] But the earthquake took them unawares, and they lay prostrate in their homes before the morning!
[Yusufali 7:92] The men who reject Shu�aib became as if they had never been in the homes where they had flourished: the men who rejected Shu�aib � it was they who were ruined!
[Yusufali 7:93] So Shu�aib left them, saying:�O my people! I did indeed convey to you the messages for which I was sent by my Lord: I gave you good counsel, but how shall I lament over a people who refuse to believe!�
Note again, "YA qawmi", why in the world is this man addressing the dead?
In conclusion, the Quran endorses polytheism, invoking the dead. No wonder certain Muslims around the world say "YA rasulallah, YA Ali, assalamu alaika ayyuhan nabiyyu etc..."
To Quran alone Muslims who reject the Sunni tashahhud "assalamu alaika ayyuhan nabiyyu", which is clear polytheism. Now you have evidence that this practice is in the Quran and endorsed.
I know this has been a while and Nonmushrik is not here anymore but i want to adress this: Nowhere in the Quran does "Ya Allah" occurs.

Salih7:73 والىا ثمود اخاهم صالحا قال ياقوم اعبدوا الله ما لكم من الاه غيره قد جاءتكم بينة من ربكم هاذه ناقة الله لكم ءاية فذروها تاكل فى ارض الله ولا تمسوها بسوء فياخذكم عذاب اليم

And to Thamud, We sent their brother Saleh, he said: "My people, serve God, you have no god besides Him; clarity has come to you from your Lord, this is the camel of God, in her you have a sign, so leave her to eat in God's earth, and do not harm her, else the painful retribution will take you."
7:74 واذكروا اذ جعلكم خلفاء من بعد عاد وبواكم فى الارض تتخذون من سهولها قصورا وتنحتون الجبال بيوتا فاذكروا ءالاء الله ولا تعثوا فى الارض مفسدين
Waothkuroo ithjaAAalakum khulafaa min baAAdi AAadin wabawwaakumfee al-ardi tattakhithoona min suhooliha qusooranwatanhitoona aljibala buyootan faothkurooalaa Allahi wala taAAthaw fee al-ardimufsideena
"And remember that He made you successors after 'Aad, and He established you in the land so that you make palaces on its plains, and you carve homes in the mountains. So remember the grace of God, and do not roam the earth as corrupters."

Qala almalao allatheenaistakbaroo min qawmihi lillatheena istudAAifooliman amana minhum ataAAlamoona anna salihanmursalun min rabbihi qaloo inna bima orsilabihi mu/minoona
The leaders who were arrogant from among his people said to those who were weak and believed from among them: "How do you know that Saleh was sent from his Lord?" They said: "It is in that which he has been sent that we believe."
7:76 قال الذين استكبروا انا بالذى ءامنتم به كافرون
Qala allatheena istakbaroo innabiallathee amantum bihi kafiroona
Those who were arrogant said: "In that which you believe, we reject!"

They thus killed the camel and defied the command of their Lord, and they said: "O Saleh, bring us what you promised us if you are of the messengers!"
7:78 فاخذتهم الرجفة فاصبحوا فى دارهم جاثمين

Thus he turned away from them, and said: "My people, I have delivered to you the message of my Lord and advised you; but you do not like the advisers."
Shuayb7:85 والىا مدين اخاهم شعيبا قال ياقوم اعبدوا الله ما لكم من الاه غيره قد جاءتكم بينة من ربكم فاوفوا الكيل والميزان ولا تبخسوا الناس اشياءهم ولا تفسدوا فى الارض بعد اصلاحها ذالكم خير لكم ان كنتم مؤمنين

And to Midyan, their brother Shu'ayb, he said: "My people, serve God, you have no god besides Him. Clarity has come to you from your Lord, so give full weight and measure, and do not hold back from the people what belongs to them, and do not make corruption on the earth after it has been set right. That is better for you if you believe."
7:86 ولا تقعدوا بكل صراط توعدون وتصدون عن سبيل الله من ءامن به وتبغونها عوجا واذكروا اذ كنتم قليلا فكثركم وانظروا كيف كان عاقبة المفسدين

"And do not stand on every path, robbing, and turning away from the path of God those who believe in Him, and you seek to make it crooked. And remember that you were few and He multiplied you; and see how is the retribution of the corrupters."
7:87 وان كان طائفة منكم ءامنوا بالذى ارسلت به وطائفة لم يؤمنوا فاصبروا حتىا يحكم الله بيننا وهو خير الحاكمين

"And if a group of you believes in what I have been sent with, and a group disbelieves, then wait until God judges between us. He is the best of judges."

And the leaders who became arrogant from among his people said: "We will drive you out of our town Shu'ayb, along with those who have believed with you, or you shall return to our creed!" He said: "Will you force us?"
7:89 قد افترينا على الله كذبا ان عدنا فى ملتكم بعد اذ نجىانا الله منها وما يكون لنا ان نعود فيها الا ان يشاء الله ربنا وسع ربنا كل شىء علما على الله توكلنا ربنا افتح بيننا وبين قومنا بالحق وانت خير الفاتحين

"We will then be inventing lies about God if we return to your creed after God has saved us from it; and we will not return to it except if God our Lord wills, our Lord encompasses everything with knowledge, in God we put our trust. Our Lord, make an opening between us and between our people with the truth, you are the best of openers."
7:90 وقال الملا الذين كفروا من قومه لئن اتبعتم شعيبا انكم اذا لخاسرون
Waqala almalao allatheenakafaroo min qawmihi la-ini ittabaAAtum shuAAayban innakum ithanlakhasiroona
And the leaders who rejected from among his people said: "If you follow Shu'ayb, then you are losers."
7:91 فاخذتهم الرجفة فاصبحوا فى دارهم جاثمين
Faakhathat-humu alrrajfatu faasbahoofee darihim jathimeena
The earthquake took them, thus they became lifeless in their home.
7:92 الذين كذبوا شعيبا كان لم يغنوا فيها الذين كذبوا شعيبا كانوا هم الخاسرين
Allatheena kaththabooshuAAayban kaan lam yaghnaw feeha allatheena kaththabooshuAAayban kanoo humu alkhasireena
Those who denied Shu'ayb, it is as if they had never prospered therein. Those who denied Shu'ayb, they were the losers.
7:93 فتولىا عنهم وقال ياقوم لقد ابلغتكم رسالات ربى ونصحت لكم فكيف ءاسىا علىا قوم كافرين
Fatawalla AAanhum waqala yaqawmi laqad ablaghtukum risalati rabbee wanasahtulakum fakayfa asa AAala qawmin kafireena
Thus he turned away from them, and said: "My people, I have delivered to you the messages of my Lord and advised you. How can I feel sorry over a rejecting people?"
I honestly do know how Nonmushrik came to the conclusion that Salih & Shuayb was "invoking" the dead. Because when i check the verse deeply, it didn't seem they were invoking but was in great disappointment.
Firstly when Salih said: yaqawmi laqad ablaghtukum risalata rabbee wanasahtulakum
walakin la tuhibboona alnnasiheena "My people, I have delivered to you the message of my Lord and advised you;
but you do not like the advisers."
The phrase "walakin la tuhibboona alnnasiheena" is in present tense.
And lastly Shuayb was saying:
yaqawmi laqad ablaghtukum risalati rabbee wanasahtulakum fakayfa asa AAala qawmin kafireena
"My people, I have delivered to you the messages of my Lord and advised you. How can I feel sorry over a rejecting people?"
I honestly dont know how is this a polytheistic doctrine. He seemed be disappointed with a bit anger from to looks of it because if you checked the verses before 7:91-93, they did try to force Shuayb to come back to their creed who Shuayb said that they would be inventing lies about Allah/God (SWTAY) if Shuayb and his fellow believers would have returned to that creed. If you also check the similitude verse of 11:84 to 11:94 & about Shuayb's mission in Midyan & Salih's mission in Thamud of 11:61 to 11:69, you get more detail of these events in Midyan & Thamud at that time of Shuayb & Salih. Other than that, i fail to see a "polytheistic doctrine" even though there verses that say do not be polytheists/idolaters like 10:105:
10:105 وان اقم وجهك للدين حنيفا ولا تكونن من المشركين
Waan aqim wajhaka lilddeeni haneefan
wala takoonanna mina almushrikeenaAnd set your face to the system of upright, and
do not be of the polytheists/idolaters.See more here:
