I could never really understand why the differences were made out between idol worship and non idol worship. Just the presence of and idol in one and the absence in the other. Is that too big a difference to divide hearts, to divide people across nations? Why is idol worship considered to be waste of time and show off, and the wrong path to meet God? Why is it considered and unforgivable sin in Islam.
I believe in God, and i too worship the idol. I consider my worship to be a form of conversation with some higher power I believe in. I dont know what it looks like, but i believe in it. What does a conversation involve? the presence of two or more people. so if I talk to the idol in my room, or a photograph of one of the Gods on the wall, what is so wrong with it? i see an image, and a muslim imagines. Doesn't imagination have some form. if not a figure, but a word, a light. Something to worship, something to hold on to, t to walk towards. Why the question of superiority. Why the disparity? Why the question of better understanding of religion is risen every time? Why the need of conversion?
God is one.
God is one.
Is it really? Then why does a Muslim hate a Hindu and vice-versa? Why the killings in the name of religion?. Why the young minds which are once taught the lesson of one god, are one day poisoned with feelings of hatred for one another?
Every religion teaches the same thing, and every follower pretends to follow, but denies it inside. Learned men were born in different parts of the world to enlighten the masses. They taught good things to people. But did they divide the world into sections unknowingly.? Trying to inculcate the minds of people with the sense of unity, did they push them into the pond of discrimination?
Sikh gurus, Hindu lords, Jesus Christ and also the Prophet, everyone preached benevolence and the oneness of the almighty. But the world has forgotten it all, and just remembers one thing- no respect, love noone, hate all.
