11.039.038 And verily, if thou shouldst ask them: Who created the heavens and the earth? they will say: Allah. Say: Bethink you then of those ye worship beside Allah, if Allah willed some hurt for me, could they remove from me His hurt; or if He willed some mercy for me, could they restrain His mercy? Say: Allah is my all. In Him do (all) the trusting put their trust. In this verse, the question “could they remove from me His hurt?” uses the Arabic word hunna, which is used for females. So, we know that what the polytheists worshipped were females; angels or the idols which they had given female names, as Allah Almighty says in the Qur’an: 004.117 They invoke in His stead only females; they pray to none else than Iblis, a rebel Ali: I know of many of the verses in the Qur’an which prove that the deceased pious were worshipped by the polytheists of Makkah. However, I would first like to present you with a hadith from Bukhari telling us that the deceased pious were worshipped. Narrated Ibn Abbas: All the idols which were worshipped by the people of Noah were worshipped by the Arabs later on. As for the idol Wadd, it was worshipped by the tribe of Kalb at Daumat-al-Jandal; Suwa' was the idol of (the tribe of) Murad and then by Ban, Ghutaif at Al-Jurf near Saba; Yauq was the idol of Hamdan, and Nasr was the idol of Himyr, the branch of Dhi-al-Kala.' The names (of the idols) formerly belonged to some pious men of the people of Noah, and when they died Iblis inspired their people to (prepare and place idols at the places where they used to sit, and to call those idols by their names. The people did so, but the idols were not worshipped till those people (who initiated them) had died and the origin of the idols had become obscure, whereupon people began worshipping them. 11 Qadhi: I thought you did not want any evidence from hadith? However now that you have referred to hadith, let us examine this narration. 11 Volume 6, Book 60, Number 442 38
1. The narrator of this narration, A’ta Al Khurasani’ made a mistake in reporting this narration. The hadith says that the names of the idols formerly belonged to some pious men of the people of Noah. However the Qur’an says the five mentioned idols were already present during the time of Noah, may Allah be pleased with him, as Allah Most High says in the Qur’an: 071.023 And they have said: Forsake not your gods. Forsake not Wadd, nor Suwa', nor Yaghuth and Ya'uq and Nasr. 071.024 And they have led many astray, and Thou increasest the wrongdoers in naught save error. These verses explain two things to us: Wadd, Suwa', Yaghuth, Ya'uq and Nasr, were present during the time of Noah, may Allah bless him, and that they led many astray. The pious do not lead others astray; they lead them on the correct path. 2. A’ta al Khurasani’ A’ta al Khurasani’ said that he had heard this narration from Ibn Abbas, however the scholars of hadith who have written biographies on each narrator have said that A’ta Al Khurasani’ had never even met Ibn Abbas during his lifetime. 12 Even if he had meet Ibn Abbas and did hear the narration from him it is still false, as Ibn Abbas is a companion and this narration is his own opinion. How can Ibn Abbas have the knowledge of the previous nations without being told by Allah or his Rasul? It is amazing that the khawarij believe that even the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) himself did not have the knowledge of the unseen! However, due to this narration they are prepared to suddenly say that even Ibn Abbas has the knowledge of the unseen! SubhanAllah!! Where does it say in the Qur’an or hadith that the idols which were made were idols whose origination could be traced back to pious people that had long passed away? If people were to make statues of the pious during the time of Noah (peace be upon him) then would it not make sense for them to make the statues of previous Prophets such as Sayyidina Adam, Sayyidina Sheesh and Sayyidina Idrees (peace be upon them all) as these were the most pious of people to ever exist during that time?
