Rationale Behind Ibrahim عليه السلام Destroying Idols
Respectfully here is the point. Are we questioning our faith? Are we saying Allah does not exist or Allah is wrong? Are we saying prophets are no different than nonbelievers? If we are not questioning the above, then no question exists why Abraham destroyed Idols. Allah guided him and he did it. Do we need reasoning for everything before we follow Allah’s command? Abraham was a prophet. Allah could have commanded him to kill all idol worshippers and he would have done it without questioning. Allah himself destroys the entire communities of nonbelievers. Will we question Allah now why he destroys nonbelievers when nonbelievers God doesn’t destroy Muslims? We know we are right and our god is the true god and we follow his commands. Other religions believe they are right and they follow their God’s command. Where is the injustice. Justice will be served on the last day and truth will become evident.
Shoaib, first comes is our faith. If we are born in a Muslim family and just call ouselves Muslims, then it is a different thing, but if we are Muslims because we did our research and with our heart and mind we accepted Islam, then there are no questions remaining left to answer; except whether the informatiin we are reading is correct or not, whether the translation is correct or not and then we just ask questions to better understand Allah and his will because we want to be better Muslims. In the case of Ibrahim, Allah guided him and he destroyed Idols. We can guess and try to find an answer to understand, but we can’t question out faith and Allah’s will. If our faith is shaken then every sentence and every word of quran may be a question.
