Noah
- People were worshipping One Lord, Believing in Allah Azzawajal...
- The Oneness of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So at the time of the Prophet Idris, people will go to him
- Idris went (passed away)... People went back to his righteous followers
- Now the righteous followers are gone, who do we go back to?
- So Iblis start to play them with the minds of the weak people
- Shaytan came and when people started to die, when people died...
- Shaytan said to them... You know what a wonderful person he was
- What a wonderful... So Shaytaan came and he grieved
- Now you got to look at Shaytaan his tactics here. Shaytaan came along and he grieved with them
- He said: Man... That person who died, like Sheath Alayhi Salam if he died
- Or somebody else really good died. He said: Man... this person died... Oh man
- You know don't you feel... Oh what a wonderful... what a wonderful person he was
- So Shaytaan is there and he is actually grieving over this soul that has passed away
- So they start to know this person, this wonderful person who is grieving over a good soul
- Then what happened is that the next generation dies
- So the same Shaytaan comes along
- And he says: Man... Another soul... We have just lost another soul...
- A good soul on this Earth... How much corruption is there on the Earth?
- And when a good soul goes like this and so on... So he's preaching
- He is making people feel; Wow... He's a good preacher. So he's given that
- The next time it happens again... He says: You know what we should do...
- Guys guys what we should do; We should have a rememberance for this person
- So how are you going to have a rememberance for this person if we don't quickly...
- Make something that reminds us of this person... So quick, what do they do in the early days?
- You see these early drawings don't you? On the walls and caves and so on...
- Of deers and lions and whatever else it is of their nature, right?
- So what he told them to do is to make a certain drawing of this individual
- Look... We need to do this, we need to remember good people like this and honour them, we need to do this
- So they go ahead and they do ths, next generation comes,
- Now he's got a drawing there, you see? He has got a few drawings that are coming up of...
- These pious people that have passed away. Next generation he said to them
- He said: Hey... Listen listen... Young boys, you know, you're going to die soon, right?
- You're going to die, you know... You need to respect your elders...
- Respect them and how you respect them is... See those carvings on there, right? See?
- Pay them your respect, pay them your respect. So... It's like look up to them
- Show them that you like them right? When the next generation came,
- He said: You are the grandchildren of these figures that went...
- Oh what great grandfathers you had... You know these pictures... What you should do...
- You should take them and we should honor them more
- Respect them by carving out certain, you know, stones out of their shape of these heads
- So they did that, because that was respect
- Next generation came... Shaytaan said: Just bow your head down,
- That's all you do, just bow your head down. So this new generation is like bowing their heads down
- Next generation he come... He says: These are...
- The things that give you your life and bread and everything you have got,
- Don't you realize that? Didn't you see your fathers who do that (bowing their heads)?
- Well you should get on to the floor and do sujood to that thing
- So they do that. Next generation he has got them fooled...
- He tells them: Look... They are Gods
- What the mentality of these people is that they have started to believe...
- In something that does not exist. They started to give...
- These statues and these stones and these dead people...
- They started to give them certain beliefs that don't belong to them
- So they started to say that; This is the one that gives us rain,
- That's the one that gives us children, that's the one that gives us this and that
- So they started to make beliefs. So in the end...
- Allah Azzawajal he sent Nuh Alayhi Salatu Wa Salam
- What Nuh Alayhi Salatu Wa Salam was dealing with;
- He was dealing with a very very stubborn people
- NEXT
BACK TO ALLAH
