This second part offering goes into falling towards worshiping other false gods. Things that have happened in the past through other religions such as Christianity and Judaism. Why there is nothing higher than or even equal to in rank, to Allah. How people tend to get attracted to forms of being that they then go on to claims as their god just because they have things to resemble what their god looks like, its almost like proving it to them selves that their god really exists because well they can see their god or at least something that resembles their god.
So why do Christians deify messiah (Jesus/esa) (pbuh) the son of mary? And why do they take on the cross as their religious emblem and raise it high aboave their churches and wear it over their chests and rush to their churches to pray.
Then comes a similar astonishing story of the jews who took “uzair” for god
Allah quotes in the Quran “far is Allah above what they associate with Him”) Q.27: 63
The Jews rally around a structure in the shape of a tomb, light a number of candles over it and then pray reading the “Torah”. The religious people among them wear small hats over the extreme end of their forelocks. Since the establishment of the Jewish state in Palestine, the Jews have adopted the “Star of David” as their emblem.
And why is it that the magi worship fire and some Indians worship cows and monkeys? And why do factions of the mystics worship devils?
All the above mentioned individuals worship and sanctify pagan gods besides the all mighty Allah. Those gods are false and worthless just like the futile minds of those who worship them. They have neither harm nor benefit to their worshipers. Yet you decline to condemn their false gods but rather, you renounce my prayer despite its certitude, value and benefit?
What benefits do they gain from the different false gods that they worship? What help can those gods offer them? Are their supplications answered by those false gods? Do the pagan gods understand what they say? Do they know that which is good for them and that which is bad for them? Do the gods cause them to live and do they provide them with sustenance? Do the gods cure them when they are ill? Can the gods save them from any harm? Do the gods cause rains to fall to allow the growth of plants?
No never could they do anything of that nature. Yet, they proceed on worshipping them and deeply recognising their virtues and sacredness. Their prayer to such gods proves their recognition for them as gods.
Picture this
if someone wire to offer you a piece of candy or assist you in carrying your luggage or to help you get to a certain place that your don’t know the directions of or to help you push your broken down car or even pick up something that you have dropped or misplaced and give it or get it back to you, will you not respect that person, regard and appreciate their efforts and finally say “thank you” to that kind person. You may even wish to reward them. It’s a two way thing the more a person does for you the more you will want to return thanks to them.
If so then is there
Any provider of bounties like almighty Allah who provided me with my mind and five sensory organs and generously endowed me with better sustenance and also conferred upon me a good health and guided me to the true religion and favoured me with a wife or wives and children and also caused me to dwell in a worthy locality with kind companions and caring neighbours? No there has never been on earth anyone who has favoured me with his kindness as almighty Allah. You may even compel me to doing so should I feel reluctant because you will hate seeing me renouncing Allah’s favours upon me and defying His virtues
Thank’ is surely like the rate and value of a package of gift. In comparison, my thanks to some one who offers me a piece of candy will not be similar to my appreciation to some other person who will offer me a tin of sweets. In a similar instance, my saying to a youngster: “fetch me that pen from the ground” will not be compatible to my saying to an influential fellow: “please fetch me that pen”. The very kind of phrase the Almighty Allah requires of me for His favours is to bow down my forehead and place it on the ground in His Honour in order to testify His Divinity and purify His Deity and also to recognise his favours.
