The superstitious beliefs of Hinduism contain a number of possibly
lethal irrational aspects. In the picture, for example, the woman lying
on the ground has been diagnosed with brain cancer. However, she
imagines that a cure may lie in the hands of Mariamman, one of their
so-called goddesses. Yet it is impossible for that idol either to hear
the patient’s complaints or to cure her disease. It is Allah, the Lord of
the world, Who bestows both sickness and health.
