Muhammed (PBUH) - Polytheists and Idols

Bismillah Hirrahman Nirrahim

Polytheists and Idols

Polytheism, the cult of worshiping idols, was practiced by almost everyone. By everlasting religion and legacy of Abraham 'The worship of one true God alone had been buried and forgotten with time'.
Over the years, some 360 idols and statues of false Gods had been installed in and around the Holy Kabah, worshiped as lords and intercessors. Even the followers of Moses and Jesus had diverged from the universality and teachings of the pure monotheistic faith of Abraham and had divided themselves into many separate sects and tribes.

But Muhammed (PBUH), was an exceptional figure. He did not take part in any of this. It became his habit in later years to retreat to an isolated cave in the nearby mountain called Hira, not far from Makkah, to bare his heart and pray in search of Truth. With no sound but the stirring wind, he would contemplate, in his solitude, the signs of the universe. 

Inshallah in next blog we will know more about our Prophet.


Jazakallah

Bismillah Hirrahman Nirrahim  Adam Alaihissalam (Adam) Allah(SWT) created Adam from clay and gave him the best of forms. He then commanded the Angels and Jinns to prostrate before Adam. The Angels obeyed but Iblis, who was one of the Jinn Refused to do so. Allah(SWT) asked, 'What prevented you from prostrating before that I have created?'. Iblis replied, I am better than him. You have created me from fire but him from clay.  His pride led him to disobey Allah(SWT). Allah(SWT) Asked him to get out of here you are an outcast. My curse is on you till the day of judgement. Then Iblis vowed to misguide Adam and his children. Allah(SWT) then asked Adam to live in Al Jannah. He had everything to enjoy but he was alone. So Allah created Hawwa (Eve). Adam and his wife were placed in a spiritual garden of innocence and bliss. But it was God's plan to give him a limited facility of choice. Allah said to Adam, not to go near that tree. This was intend to test and teac
