Now we will see how “Ibraheem” (pbuh) gives the message to mankind
because they had planned and everybody's involved.
How to differentiate and how to get out of those idols.
Now the problem is, you must not forget that whatever I have explained is within a human himself.
It’s a human psyche, I explained these idols.
How they become idols I also explained but how “Ibraheem” (pbuh) break these idols.
Now the word is “Asnaam” which means beloved idols, plural, sanam was singular idol and “asnaam” is plural beloved idols.
“Aalihah” is gods.
What are those idols? Beloved idols?
Can anyone tell? All I have described? They are all related to this.
They have all become gods and how I told you, explained to you.
Those names and how they're involved.
So “Ibraheem” (pbuh) is informing his father, “Aazar,” that do you take idols? gods? Idol gods?
Surely I see you and your people in clear astraying.
So if you're involved in this, you in clear astraying.
You cannot attain message of God if you're involved in these.
You're stuck up in these. You're in clear astraying.
And further he explains in
Meaning that “Ibraheem” (pbuh) is informing mankind
that you, yourself have carved.
It is not that you fell in love,
you are infatuated
and now you are starting to make an imaginary behavior or thing of that personality that you are in love with.
What is not real, you have carved yourself.
Like for example I've got a personality,
you may think i am like that in something maybe right,
but I am not like what you are imagining about me is carving in your mind.
That is known as you have carved.
You have made that personalities an idol.
So this what you have, you serve what you have carved.
In your mind you have got a creation, one is reality and other is fantasy or not real fantasy,
the same personality you make yourself.
You carve, he's not like that but you make him like that in your own mind.
It is your own self-creation. You have carved, that is the reason “Ibraheem” (pbuh) is explaining.
And further he says in
Now the reason, given by “Ibraheem” (pbuh)
of making each other as idols is because of mutual love, love eachother.
Of course you can love each other in true sense
but it should not exceed the governing “ayats” of “Allah”.
The dos and the don'ts. You must refrain to that.
You must not exceed that love so what is happening that you are loving each other,
I love you, you love me back so that I get my respect and honor.
I scratch your back you scratch my back,
meaning, I praise you, you praise me.
And each other we're saying lies, not truth. Not truth.
So that is known as out of mutual love, you have done this idol.
You have made each other the idol by overlooking the faults and blindly loving than you are attached to each other,
by mutual love.
I respect you, you respect me, I love you, you love me, I praise you, you praise me.
This is the reason and all the other I have interlinked.
Longing, he's also longing he's also doing this, you are also doing this.
All this you know, you are involved.
So “Allah”says then on the Day of Judgment, you shall reject some of you with some and curse of you to some
and your abode is fire and for you there will be no one from the helpers.
Why would you do that because on that day reality will come
that you were lying to each other by praising each other falsely
and just to gain the love and affection of each other.
If it’s the truth it’s not wrong but if its lie, then, because normally “Allah”, how it becomes an idol?
Oosanan, because of mutual love to each other.
Surpassing the law of the governing “ayats”.
So “Ibraheem” (pbuh) plans for the idols how to break these idols.
So he says:
So “Ibraheem” (pbuh) says I will devise artfully, to your idols after you turn your backs
What is turning of your backs, meaning is,
when a person is sitting, like for example, everybody, or people listening to this lecture all over, brother mentioned
they are not emotionally worked up.
They are not, emotionally worked up, their feelings are behind them
and intellectually they are trying to understand what's going on.
So that is turning your backs to your idols.
They are in your, you know, everybody's got these in him or her.
So once he's listening to the talk so he has turned his back towards the idols,
that is turning the back to the idols, meaning the intellect is in front of them or the wisdom is in front of them
by using the power to understand what you're listening.
But once the emotions are in front of somebody he's emotionally worked up and he explain to somebody will not understand.
Because he's in the power of that emotion at that time,
he's worked up. So when he's turned his back, meaning when he's normalized
his emotions subside and the intellect increases,
wisdom increases then you educate what you want to at the moment like you people are sitting,
so “Ibraheem” (pbuh) says that I will turn your or machinate your idols artfully.
How he does it is mentioned in:
This is the way he did it, how?
What are the idols of mankind?
C’mon,
the emotions, the feelings
so it is a part of our own self, it is not something out it is a part of our self,
emotions and wisdom, feelings or intelligence remember this,
so at the moment intelligence are they’ve turned their backs towards their emotions and intellectually they’re listening people,
so look at my fingers, so human-being is like this
suppose this is the intelligence and the behind is the emotions, right?
And if the emotions come forward, this is emotions comes forward intelligence goes back you see?
You understand this?
So “Ibraheem” (pbuh) says I will devise artfully
meaning when you turn your back towards your emotions
so that means intellect comes forward,
this is intellect and the emotions are behind at this time I will do,
remember this look at my fingers very important this is the intellect and this is emotions.
Now he says, “Ibraheem” (pbuh) says he dodged towards their gods
and then said do you not eat?
Meaning he’s dodging towards the emotions so he’s referring to the emotions, dodge,
so people in the audience and where the lectures being heard is like he dodged, what is a dodge?
That you think he’s saying to the emotions
but actually he’s talking to you
he dodged to the emotions and he said to you, do you not eat?
This is an idols remember this he’s not talking to the emotions
he’s talking to the intellect and wisdom of the mankind
but he referred to the, dodged towards the emotions
that means as if he’s talking about the emotions all the other time I was describing the emotions
so now I am not talking about the emotions
so he dodged towards the emotions to the idols
and said to him to the person who’s involved do you not eat?
What is the matter with you?
Now people are thinking he’s talking about the idols,
he’s not talking about the idols he’s talking to you, the mankind the intellect the wisdom
do you not eat? What is the matter with you?
He’s talking to you the intellect and the wisdom of that person
he dodged as if he was talking about the emotions no, now he comes towards him,
he dodged towards the gods the idols
and he said do you not eat? Dodge mean he’s actually not talking about the emotions
he’s now talking about the intellect do you not eat?
What is the matter with you? Do you not speak logically?
He’s talking to this wisdom the person
who’s a logical and power of reasoning logic and reason
he uses the wisdom and intellect,
so he is talking to the intellect of the human mankind
but he dodged as if he’s talking about the emotions
and he’s talking to the emotions to the idols
so he dodged towards the idol and he speaks to the wisdom of the intellect of the man
do you not eat? Can you not speak logically?
Now people realize that he’s not talking to the idols he’s talking to us you understand?
So they shifted towards the intellect, and the moment they shifted towards the intellect he dodged over them
now he comes, he dodged over them
means he’s talking not now to the intelligence and he strike with the right to the emotions.
You must understand this,
the once people realize he’s talking about emotions, the idols not us not the intellect the wisdom
because wisdom by intellect you’re understanding the thing,
intellect and wisdom is used to understand and comprehend
and the moment people understood he’s talking to us, so he dodged towards them and strike the emotions.
Or strike the idols, by the right by right by the governing “ayats” of “Allah’s” “ayats”
what is the truth, you understand this?
That is the reason he did it
so the moment they understood that he’s talking to us to our intellect the wisdom
their feelings are subsided meaning they become chips small pieces,
they’re subsided their feelings and emotions and idol gods.
But the one thing idol is remaining is the Great idol;
the great idol of all mankind is who?
Allah, God, now remember this God or Allah is known to all mankind of the world, all mankind.
But he’s an Idol
because he doesn’t communicate he his self-carved the personality of god as “Rama”, “Krishna”, as “Buddha”
or as incarnation of mankind and things
and the real God is also an idol until he communicates
so the reason he did it except their Great Idol
so that they turned towards Him meaning turning towards the real god
so you understand what “Allah” says in the “ayats”
otherwise you’re carved a concept of God
you seek aid with him in your imagination
you have fantasized that god in your mind which is not real,
he’s not speaking to you, he’s not talking to you he’s not responding to your problems
until you read the “ayats” of the “Quran” he will answer in the “ayats” what’s your problem,
all mankind even the so-called labeled Muslims have got the concept of god as an idol,
until you read the “ayats” and when you comprehend the “ayats” intellectually
you will understand this is what “Allah” says,
this is not I have carved in my mind about “Allah”
what you carved is your concept is not what “Allah” says.
So the purpose of “Ibraheem” (pbuh) was that he made the idols chips
except there Great idol, one idol God
so that they may turn towards Him meaning they would turn towards the “Quranic” “ayats”
so they understand “Allah’s” message,
so the communication will start otherwise you have the concept of god in your own mind
and believe me the atheists the agnostics or the people who say they don’t believe the God
they are talking about their own carved god
or what they hear from the world the concept of God
because people in the world when they say I don’t accept god I don’t believe in god,
ask him what god you are talking about?
It his own carvation he made that god and rejects.
Does that god speak to you? The Creator Almighty he’s created the whole universe and the galaxies
can he not speak to us?
The most basic reason to understand,
we are speaking with each other we can understand “Allah’s” given the language to speak and communicate
so “Allah” uses a language to communicate in the “Quranic” “ayats” he’s communicating to us
but if you do not understand the essence of the message of “Allah’s” “ayats”
that means you have carved the concept of the God on your own
and then you reject I don’t believe in God,
do you know what the “Quran” says? Do you know what “Allah” says?
So people think that no God doesn’t speak idol God
so by your wishful thinking you get the concept of God and you think God did this for me
and God speaks to me in my ears
and something good happens and something bad happens
you know its god doing it in your own mind,
so this is the idol that Great God will be of all mankind if he doesn’t understand or communicate by the “ayats”
or his words of the “Quran,”
once you read and understand that is “Allah” communicating to mankind through the “ayats”
if you do not know so he’s an idol god,
so he broke the idols “Ibraheem” (pbuh) broke the idols
for the purpose that they should turn towards Him for communication.
Now what happens in
When “Ibraheem” (pbuh) broke the idols of mankind
so they said who has done this with our gods?
Who has done this with our gods?
Surely he must be from the oppressors,
people’s reaction they said he must be from the oppressors who has break our gods,
so to whom that occur they said we have heard a young man
mentioning about them for him they say Ibraheem
he is called Ibraheem so these people said they said bring this Ibraheem (pbuh) before the eyes of mankind
so that they bear witness that he has done it
lets found out did he do it or he didn’t do it
so we’ll bear witness so he’ll bear witness that he did it
so what happened the continuity
So when he was brought in front of the people
so they asked “Ibraheem” (pbuh) pointedly are you the one who has done this?
Are you the one has done this with our gods?
So “Ibraheem” (pbuh) answers he said no the great one has done it,
the great one has done it ask them question them if they are logical.
In apparently “Ibraheem” (pbuh) planned for the breaking of the idols
and once he breaks the idols so when question to him
are you the one who did it he said no it is the great one who did it,
ask them if they can speak logically,
so how is this that he did it but he’s saying that “Allah” did it?
Why would he say that?
Because God’s “Allah’s” messengers and the prophets
they speak on the behalf of “Allah.”
So it was not his personal action doing breaking of the idols,
it was a direction by “Allah” to “Ibraheem” (pbuh)
so he is breaking the idols but referring to “Allah,”
won’t he? So it is not a lie,
he says yes ask these people that the Great One did it, the “Allah” did it.
Because it is always “Allah” working through his messengers and prophets
so the prophets are the representations of “Allah’s” message
so they cannot say he cannot say that I did it as a human person,
the messengers are always referring to “Allah” “Allah” did it
so “Ibraheem” (pbuh) says ask these people because they cannot speak logically
because they are not in communication with “Allah” first they cannot respond to him,
he says ask them if they can speak logically
they have no communication with God their idol god
so “Ibraheem” (pbuh) according to this “ayat” did not lie.
People are accusing that “Ibraheem” (pbuh) lied in the “Quran” no,
he said it because “Allah” is doing through him,
always remember this the messengers cannot take the credit as humans
they have to refer to the “Allah” Almighty and his breaking of the idol was also saying this
that he make them chips so that they turn towards Him towards “Allah”
so that is why he said that He did it, ask them if they can speak logically.
Now what the story or the narration around the world is to be found in gospel of barnabas
in the same narration that I read to you.
so I will just read it to identify that there are people who are listening to this narration
that how “Ibraheem” (pbuh) broke the idols and that I read in 27 verse,
Now the concept of the physical idol breaking
is mentioned in the gospel of barnabas
that there was a temple and in that there were gods
and he physically broke those idols
and then he kept the axe there the big not the big the Baal god
they referred as a Baal which in Arabic means husband anyway,
so this narration of the physical breaking of the idols is mentioned in the barnabas not in the “Quran”
so in that context I come back to
Because he “Ibraheem” (pbuh) when broke the idols except the Great One
so he “Ibraheem” (pbuh) said to the people ask them if they can speak logically 255
