Rationale Behind Ibrahim عليه السلام Destroying Idols
Even if someone comes and reasons with us, the act of destruction of the idols doesn’t seem to prove anything. Also where is it said that they were his father’s idols or that it was his own property that he destroyed?
Just hope that we’re ahead of Ahmad in the line on the day of judgement. Otherwise we’ll be waiting a long long time! 😂
Why would you look for rationality when you believe in miracles beyond our comprehension maybe this is just another act we can’t phathom. BTW they clearly did believe their idols had some sort of powers and by destroying these idols that they worshipped , prophet Ibrahim Alaysalam is showing that they have no powers. That is why Prophet Ibrahim Alaysalam didn’t run away and destroy all the idols, but decided to place an axe on one to get the people to use their ability to critically think, which the idol worshippers did but their ignorance kept them away from true monotheism. From my understanding In essence prophet Ibrahim Alaysalam was the voice of reason in his time.
The end goal seems to be disproving idol worship. I want to see how Ibrahim عليه السلام ‘s actions lead to that end rationally
