HINDUS WORSHIP MILLIONS OF IDOLS

In our book titled Islam and Buddhism we examined in detail the
heretic beliefs of Buddhism that instruct the twisted worship of Buddha
statues, making offerings of food to them and to devote oneself to
Buddha in hunger and destitution. (See: Islam and Buddhism, Harun
Yahya, May, 2003). The number of idols worshipped in Hinduism reach-
es 300-350 million as every Hindu can make his own according to the
perverted teachings of Hinduism, or worship any being of his choice,
alive or dead. There is one idol for every three Hindus. And this demon-
strates sufficiently that the whole religion is just one great myth.
Hindus can ascribe divinity to virtually everything and anything; to
people, animals, plants, even to places or natural phenomena, such as
rivers, mountains, etc. Each town has its own invented divinity and
there are idols of monkeys, snakes and many others at the gateway to
each town. Every Hindu has a shrine with his own idols in his home and

even within the same household there can be different idols for different
members of the family to whom they bow down. In the mornings they
wake their idols with lights and songs, clean them and make offerings to
them in the form of flowers, food and milk. Allah reveals that these idols
of idolatrous nations by which people are misled, have no power what-
soever:
“Do they have legs they can walk with? Do they have hands they can
grasp with? Do they have eyes they can see with? Do they have ears
they can hear with? (Surat al-A‘raf: 195)
Hindus do not ponder the great error, irrationality or warped logic
inherent in their worship; indeed, they regard every action of theirs as a
so-called act of worship. This kind of worship offered to idols or so
called divinities of stone or wood is a strictly forbidden sin in all reli-
