HOW DID IDOL WORSHIP STARTED?
The names of the idols worshipped by the community of Nuh were:
"WADD , SUWA, YAGUTH, YAOOQ, NASR"
(Quraan 71:23)
They were some good people who lived among them.
After they died, their statues were erected to keep their memories alive.
After some years, people began to worship them.
Later generations did not even knew why they had been erected, they only knew that their parents worshipped them.
Hence, they made them their gods and this is how idol worship started.
(This story is mentioned by Ibn Abbas, Ibn Jarir & Ibn Abi Hatim)
[Jin buto ki qaume Nuh ibadat karti thi unke naam the:
WADD, SUWA, YAGUTH, YAOOQ aur NASR.
Ye unke qaum ke acche log the jinke marne ke baad unki qaum ne unki yaad me but bana diye take unko yaad rakh sake.
Phir kuch waqt baad, inki ibadat shuru ho gayi.
Aage aane wali qaumo ko to ye bhi nahi maloom tha ke ye but banaye hue kyu hai?
Wo bas ye jaante the ke unke baap- dada inko poojte the aur isliye ye unko khuda maanne lage aur isi se phir but parasti shuru ho gayi.]
