Obliteration of idolatry
Surah YUUNUS - 10 (JONAH)
BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In
the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Lesson
Holy Qur’aan
desires to obliterate
the polytheism (belief in a plurality of God Almighty) in the world. Adoration
of Allah Almighty – prayer, a fast, pilgrimage and paying the poor-due (Zakaat) has been prescribed for the
purpose that the human being should remain inclined unto Allah Almighty, and
should never consider that any other can supply his wants. Reflect in the
previous verses. It seems clearly that the humankind is responsible himself of
going astray from the Path of Allah Almighty. He wants to indemnity of his
weakness with the help of felt things. His conjecture produces before him his
own form as an incapable, friendless and helpless; on one side; and on the other;
it terrifies him from magnificence of such things which are seen apparently as
pompous and exalted. He considers that the sun, the moon, the stars, high
mountains, rivers, seas and oceans, darkness and brightness, all such things
are more splendid, powerful and higher than him. He bows and prostrates before
them, stands begging earnestly and believes in it that they are his demi-gods; and asks them for help by
spreading his hands.
Then
it happens that he feels that some individuals; like him; are more powerful,
some are physically and naturally stronger than him, and some are those who are
superior to him due to their hidden powers. They attract him and he thinks that
they will support him, and as far as possible; he tries his best to get their
help. After that, when they die, he makes their statues, keeps those idols
before him and begins to adore them.
In
short, conjecture and imagination of the human being keeps him ensnared in
astonishing meshes. To bring him out from such meshes, Allah Almighty sent His
Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon them) from time to time. They caused to
understand him during their times that there is only one treatment of your
weakness, imbecility and friendless that you should draw your full attention
unto The Creator of yours and the entire universe. Use your sense. Come out
from superstitions.
Some
intelligent people obeyed them (peace be upon them) and chose the Straight
Path, whereas some were those who made them (the Prophets and Messengers –
peace be upon them) own deities.
Allah
Almighty sent down His Last Scripture by means of His Last Messenger, Muhammad
(grace, blessings and peace be on Him) and commanded: Say to the people! Allah
Almighty has revealed This Book (Holy Qur’aan)
on Me for your Guidance and I am His Messenger (grace, blessings and peace be
on Him). I have been instructed that I should cause to understand you the
Message; which exists in this Book. Behold! There is none who have power to
give you something or snatch anything from you save Allah Almighty. Strong and
weak (both) are needy of Him in their own circles. Allah Almighty has given you
sense, which is sufficient to cause to know you that The Owner of the entire
powers and forces is only One; Allah Almighty. Know Him and worship Him. Ask
Him only for help and supplicate before Him to show you the Straight Path, the
Path of Those whom He has favored, and save you from the path of those who
earned His anger and who went astray.
