Tawheed and Shirk(Monotheism or Polytheism)7

PREVIOUS NATIONS WORSHIPPED IDOLS

The Nation of Ibrahim (as)

(21/52, 57&58, 37/83-96) polytheists worshipped idols besides Allah. Note that nowhere does Allah say that they worshipped the deceased pious!

idols were being worshipped by the nation of Ibrahim (as). They are described as images and idols. Ibrahim (as) informs his people that he will avoid that which they worshipped after they had gone to their festival and he (as) would never say he would avoid the pious!

however the pious cannot be described as false as they are those who speak the truth and guide on the correct path. the pious can eat and speak, and so, these questions were directed to the lifeless idols. Finally, Ibrahim (as) tells his people that they worship that which they carve themselves, which again, is an explicit reference to the idols that they would carve themselves!

The reason was that the polytheists of Makkah were worshipping exactly what the nation of Ibrahim (as): idols. If there was no similarity between the nations there was no reason for Allah to reveal this story to Muhammad (saws).

The Nation of Musa (as)

(7/138) All other previous nations worshipped idols.Nowhere in the Quran is there a nation mentioned that worshipped the deceased pious. Even the nation of Musa (as) worshipped idols.

(16/20-22) The commentators(MUFASSIRIN) of the Quran have said that where the words besides Allah have been mentioned it refers to the idols that had been worshipped.

They have also said the word dead here means that Allah is alive [and never dies] whereas the idols are dead.

when Allah says they do not know when they will be risen? this means the idols do not know when those who worship them (the polytheists) will be raised.

Another opinion is that on the Day of Resurrection, Allah will create a soul in them and the idols will be brought to life. They will be raised and will speak saying they do not know why they were worshipped.

PROOF OF POSSESSION

(4/54) Allah has granted the pious with many bounties. the disbelievers are jealous of His pious people as Allah has granted them with a scripture, wisdom and a mighty Kingdom.

(38/35-40) Allah(swt) made the wind and Jinn come under the control of Sayyidina Sulaiman (as). He granted him a unique Kingdom.

(27/23) Even the Queen of Sheba, before she embraced Islam, was given abundance of all things. This proves that humans can possess many things, if Allah wills.

(18/95) Allah has not only granted His pious people with worldly possessions but also power.

(10/18,39/43-45) attributes clearly belonging to idols. As you are aware, no Muslim on this earth worships other than Allah. they worship besides Allah that which will neither hurteth them nor profiteth them. The pious can hurt and profit people, as previous Prophets made dua do destroy those who were against them and profited people by calling them to Islam. This tells us that what they worshipped besides Allah will never be given the power to intercede They have no intelligence. The Pious have intelligence!

those who worshipped besides Allah were glad when Allahs name was mentioned along with another. Do you think they would be glad if Allahs name was mentioned with a pious persons or that of their idols

When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
