I'm taking this "New Muslim Course" on Saturdays and we were literally just talking about shirk and the story of Nuh (AS). Coincidence, naaaw, it's Allah (Subhanhu Wa Ta'ala)!
And also Brother, thanks for another great video. You are very appreciated. May Allah continue to guide you and help you continue to spread beneficial knowledge.

As a novice mountaineer, you're shirt is perfect. Many people worship mountains as if gods and goddesses reside there and pray to them before climbing.

Grave worshipping is pretty common in sub continent
People don't even know that's shirk even if we tell them they say we're just using them as medium astagfirullah
They only think worshipping other religion gods is shirk

[mohammedfalshehri]

That's the core problem of suffi and shia "Graves" and the sad thing is that the commoner of suffi and shia are not aware of this because of their dajjal fake imams... May Allah guide us all to the right path

Only worship one Creator (Allah) but not the creations. Do not associate anything with Allah.

Laa ilaaha illaa Allah……Allahu Akbar🥰❤️
I seek forgiveness from Allah the Lord of the Worlds🤲🏼
May peace and blessings of Allah be upon our beloved prophet his companions and entire household✨✨✨

Beautifully put, couldn't have said it better.

I am noticing a pattern about the people of astray… they never question shaytan logic but quick to do so when it’s a prophet. They never give the same energy to shaytan.

Thank you for the reminder brother Saajid.

Over here in Kashmir most people worship graves and ask dead people for help.

May Allah protect us from all forms of shirk. Jazakum Allah Khairan

Idol worship can be considered harmful from various perspectives, including psychological, social, and spiritual. Here are some potential reasons why it can cause harm to humans:

1. **Diversion of Focus:** Idol worship can divert people's focus away from important aspects of life and spirituality. Instead of connecting directly with the divine, individuals may become overly preoccupied with physical objects or images.

2. **False Beliefs:** It can lead to the propagation of false or misguided beliefs, as idol worship often involves attributing divine qualities to physical idols, which can be misleading and contrary to monotheistic faiths.

3. **Dependency on Symbols:** Relying on idols can hinder personal spiritual growth. It may encourage individuals to depend on physical symbols rather than cultivating a deeper, personal connection with the divine.

4. **Divisiveness:** Idol worship can lead to religious divisions and conflicts, as different groups may have differing beliefs about which idols are worthy of worship. This can result in tension and even violence.

5. **Materialism:** The focus on physical idols can promote materialism, where people prioritize acquiring and maintaining idols over more meaningful pursuits, potentially leading to greed and a shallow sense of fulfillment.

6. **Superstition:** Idol worship can sometimes lead to superstitions and irrational beliefs, as people may associate specific actions or rituals with obtaining favor from the divine through the idol.

7. **Lack of Accountability:** Depending on idols can provide a false sense of security and may lead individuals to believe they can avoid personal responsibility for their actions by seeking forgiveness solely through idol worship.

8. **Stagnation of Thought:** Over time, idol worship may discourage critical thinking and exploration of deeper spiritual truths, as individuals may adhere rigidly to established practices without questioning their validity.

That's why people shouldn't decorate graves, Astagfirullah people can be so primitive.

Lol a few months ago every person in my class was assigned a certain prophet to talk about and mine was Nuh and I’m pretty sure it was during his time because around 5 important people died and people needed a way to remember them so they worshipped them

Mr. Saajid Lipham's voice resembles a lot with Mr. Yusuf Estes voice.
