We can understand from these verses that the names of the idols did not originate from anywhere, rather, they were names made up by the polytheists and their fathers, as Allah clearly states: “they are but names which ye have named”. Mistakenly, some people thought that the names of the idols were derived from the names of previous Prophets and pious people. However, the verses that I have mentioned clearly state otherwise: the names were given by the people themselves. Furthermore, when the Prophet Muhammad ( may Allah bless him and grant him peace) recited these verses, the polytheists did not argue with him by saying the names of their idols were in actual fact, names of previous Prophets and saints. Sayyidina Hud (peace be upon him), Sayyidina Yusuf, (peace be upon him) and our blessed Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) have all verified that the names of the idols are only names which the polytheists and their fathers innovated. The origin of the names of the idols did not come from previous Prophets and saints. If that were the case, Sayyidina Hud (peace be upon him) Sayyidina Yusuf (peace be upon him) and our blessed Prophet Muhammad ( may Allah bless him and grant him peace) would have said so. What they did say was that the idols were only names which the people themselves had chosen, as Allah Almighty says in the Qur’an: 053.023 They are but names which ye have named, ye and your fathers, for which Allah hath revealed no warrant. They follow but a guess and that which (they) themselves desire. And now the guidance from their Lord hath come unto them. In addition to this, even the names of the Prophets and the pious are important to Allah, as Allah has named some of the Prophets Himself, as Allah Almighty says in the Qur’an: 019.007 (It was said unto him): O Zachariah! Lo! We bring thee tidings of a son whose name is John; we have given the same name to none before (him). 003.045 (And remember) when the angels said: O Mary! Lo! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a word from him, whose name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, illustrious in the world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near (unto Allah). 30
In these verses, we learn that Allah Almighty has given his Prophet Sayyidina Yahya (peace be upon him ) [John] the glad tidings of a name which none have had before, and in the case of Sayyidina Isa, (peace be upon him) he too was given a unique name. This indicates that there is an importance attached to the names of the Prophets and pious. So this must mean that if Allah degrades names as in 053.023, it cannot be the names of the Prophets or the pious as these are important to Allah. As the Qur’an asserts, the names of their idols were derived from names which they had named. In other words, these names had no origin, other from their own minds. NO ORIGIN FROM PREVIOUS NATION’S IDOLS 007.071 He said: Terror and wrath from your Lord have already fallen on you. Would ye wrangle with me over names which ye have named, ye and your fathers, for which no warrant from Allah hath been revealed? Then await (the consequence), lo! I (also) am of those awaiting (it). This verse speaks of Hud (peace be upon him) who told his nation how they had named their own idols. While some people argue that the names of the idols originated from names of previous Prophets and saints, if this was true, Hud’s nation would have rhetorted back to such a claim. However, this verse explicitly states that the names of the idols were names that the people themselves had concocted. 012.040 Those whom ye worship beside Him are but names which ye have named, ye and your fathers. Allah hath revealed no sanction for them. The decision rests with Allah only, Who hath commanded you that ye worship none save Him. This is the right religion, but most men know not. In this verse, Yusuf (peace be upon him) is telling his nation that the names of the idols are only names which they themselves have named. Just as the nation of Hud ( peace be upon him) did not argue with with their Prophet who had made a similar statement, neither did the nation of Yusuf (peace be upon him). Ali: Very interesting! However, I have many questions and I will present each of them Insha’Allah. Firstly, you have said that the polytheists of Makkah worshipped idols, but Shaykh Yasin told me that they would invoke the deceased pious. Can you present me one verse of the Qur’an which indicates that the polytheists of Makkah would worship idols? Brother 31
