Poem - What You Sanctify?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم


With clay you made it,
As you will you shaped it,

With garments you adorned it,

With incense you perfumed it,

With foods you served it,

Will it ever eat it?

With chants you invoke it,

Will it even hear it?

With care you protect it,

Lest you break it!

But if it does you replace it!

And then you worship it?!


Tell me why you sanctify it?


With clay He made you,

How He willed He shaped you,

With garments He adorned you,

Nose to smell - He gave you,

With foods He nourished you,

Does He need food from you?!

When in distress He relieved you,

When you whispered He heard you,

With His mercy He protected you,

When He wills He will replace you!

That's Allaah - One who created you!


Him alone, then worship! Will you?

Not pleased with their Creator, they supplicated to prophets, angels, pious, dead and even animals - hoping that they may be able to intervene in the decree of Allah or if not, at least intercede with Him سبحانه و تعالى on their behalf. To please these gods and gain their favor, they worshiped them, while they never deserved worship. However, Allah - The Most Merciful - did not withdraw His blessings from humans nor did He destroy them altogether, which is easy for Him جل جلاله. Quite contrary to that, He continued to bestow upon them more favors; but very few show gratitude. يآ أيها الإنسان ما غرّك بربك الكريم؟ الذي خلقك فسواك فعدلك. ...

What are these statues that you worship?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم " What are these statues to which you are devoted? " Ibraheem asked his people. They replied, " We found our fathers worshiping them ". He said, “ Indeed, you and your forefathers have been clearly astray .” He asked his father, who crafted idols  - " why do you worship that which does not hear, nor sees, nor does benefit in anything?! " He continued, " Do you desire made-up gods instead of Allah? What then is your thought about Lord of all worlds? In fact, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Who created them both. And to that I bear witnes s". In the temple, Ibraheem saw the idols that his people worshiped, with foods in front of them as offerings. He addressed them saying " Will you not eat?! Why is it that you don't speak?! " Then he smashed all the idols except biggest of them and left. Horrified to see their idols lying in ruins, people guessed that Ibraheem was behind this and...
