However, people who have such pagan beliefs have always exist-
ed in all periods of history. The narratives in the Qur’an of the many

holy prophets reveal that they had met such people, whom they invit-
ed to stop worshipping other deities, and to worship and believe in
Allah Almighty instead. The Surat al-‘Ankabut reveals how Allah’s
beloved servant the Prophet Abraham (pbuh) spoke to his people:
Instead of Allah you worship only idols. You are inventing a lie.
Those you worship besides Allah have no power to provide for you.
So seek your provision from Allah and worship Him and give
thanks to Him. It is to Him you will be returned. (Surat al-
‘Ankabut: 17)

The modern day pagans are no different to the Prophet Abraham’s
(pbuh) nation. They too foolishly defended their beliefs by saying: “No,
but this is what we found our fathers doing.” (Surat ash-Shuara: 74).
These people whose minds have been dulled with myths and pagan
teachings are unable to realize their irrationality and misguided spiri-
tuality. They have given themselves up to these superstitious religions’
inherited from their ancestors, whereas if they were to question their
perverse beliefs rationally and conscientiously, if they were to seek to

find the truth rather than to follow their ancestors path, they surely
would realize the infinite might and power of our Lord Who has creat-
ed them as well as everything else in the universe. Consequently, they
would then also free themselves from their lives being determined by
myths and find Allah’s path of wisdom revealed to mankind by His
messengers.

and illogical practices, as well as the teachings that sanction the racism,

violence and cruelty of these superstitious Eastern religions, as well as
the teachings that, in their own minds, sanction racism, violence and
