The Breaking of Idols
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Shaykh Muhammad Nazhim Adil al-Haqqani (q.s.) said, “Allah (s.w.t.) Mentions, in the Qur’an, about the grandfather of prophets, Ibrahim (a.s.) and his work that he did, that Ibrahim’s (a.s.) nation, the nation of Nimrod, were keeping idols that represented their pride.
سُوۡرَةُ
الاٴنبیَاء
قَالَ بَل رَّبُّكُمۡ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ ٱلَّذِى فَطَرَهُنَّ وَأَنَا۟ عَلَىٰ ذَٲلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلشَّـٰهِدِينَ (٥٦) وَتَٱللَّهِ لَأَڪِيدَنَّ أَصۡنَـٰمَكُم بَعۡدَ أَن تُوَلُّواْ مُدۡبِرِينَ (٥٧) فَجَعَلَهُمۡ جُذَٲذًا إِلَّا ڪَبِيرً۬ا لَّهُمۡ لَعَلَّهُمۡ إِلَيۡهِ يَرۡجِعُونَ (٥٨)
He said, “Nay, your Lord is the Lord of the Heavens and the Earth, He Who Created them (from nothing): and I am a witness to this (truth). And by Allah, I have a plan for your idols - after ye go away and turn your backs.” So, he broke them to pieces, (all) but the biggest of them, that they might turn (and address themselves) to it. (Surah al-Anbiya’:56-58)
Through
Ibrahim’s (a.s.) story, Allah (s.w.t.) Says He breaks down all
idols. It is through those imitated
idols that men claim sovereignty but there is only one Lord, Allah (s.w.t.). Allah (s.w.t.) did not Send scripture
as fairy tales or storybooks, but for Guidance.
Everyone has idols within themselves.
They keep them and look after them carefully. Until they break their idols, they will fight
and kill anyone who tries to break their idols.
The Lord of the Heavens Teaches us that we must break down the idols of
our ego.”
