In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful
170. Wa-itha qeela lahumu ittabiAAoo ma
anzala Allahu qaloo bal nattabiAAu ma alfayna
AAalayhi abaana awa law kana abaohum
la yaAAqiloona shay-an wala yahtadoona
170. And when
they are asked to follow what Allah has sent down, they say, "But we follow
what we found our forefathers doing." Even if their forefathers had
understood nothing, nor had they been guided!?278
278. This loaded question, divinely posed
over 1400 years ago, is still valid for people today, including most Muslims!
Even though the Muslims have with them the divinely protected Qur'aan, they
hardly refer to this invaluable Book of guidance, and choose instead to follow
what they have found their forefathers doing. So, they call dead saints to
their aid in worldly matters and visit their graves, even though the Qur'aan
categorically tells them that such acts of shirk would be unpardonable
sins [Q: 4:116].
