If ancestors
worshipped idols, you should not do so
Surah YUUNUS - 10 (JONAH)
BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In the name of God, the
Beneficent, the Merciful
Lesson
The Idolaters of Makkah had this misunderstanding that
their forefathers had been prostrating before their idols since centuries and
gaining their all ends with the help of their idols. They thought: How can we
change our way of life by saying a Person (Muhammad –grace, blessings and peace
of Allah Almighty be on Him)? We accept that He has all good qualities, but how
can we obey one Individual against a great multitude?
They
used to say: Nearly entire people of Arab have believed since many years and
they have faith even today too that Allah does not do anything without the
intercession and help of these idols.
One
Man stands from us and says that He is Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace,
blessings and peace be on Him) and produces a Book before us (Holy Qur’aan), in which it is written that
the idols are nothing. Neither they can hurt any person and nor profit. These are
lifeless stones or trees, blind, dumb and deaf, which can neither give anything
to anyone and nor can mar in any case.
Everything
in the heavens and in the earth has been saying: I am not in my own control. From
which direction you hear; this voice comes: Our existence and appearing is
exactly according to the Knowledge of Allah Almighty. Plan of entire universe
and for life of every living being has been made by Him separately. He knows
every atom and particle.
In
the Holy Qur’aan, Messenger of Allah
Almighty (grace, blessings and peace be on Him) has been commanded at several
places: Cause to know these people thoroughly that if many people lay but to
stake upon any matter, even then; that cannot be good and correct. The right is
only that; which is right according to the knowledge of Allah Almighty, Who has
explained it in His Word (Holy Qur’aan)
in accordance with His that Knowledge. The actual thing is This Book (Holy Qur’aan). If the entire human beings
reject It and only One Person accepts It, that One Person is Right and other
all disbelievers are wrong.
As,
such misunderstanding about the Holy Qur’aan
did exist during the presence of the Holy Messenger (grace, blessings and peace
be on Him); and it exists today also that the amendment or change can be made
in it with the opinion of community (public). But it is entirely wrong. Its Principles
can never be changed whether the entire world is on opposite side.
