Second Coming
38. Replacing God with Other “Deities”
The system of night and day
will not end until the people
have taken to worship of Lat
and ‘Uzza… (Sahih Muslim)
Many tribes of my people will adhere to associators and revert
back to disbelief before the Hour … (Muhammad ibn `Abd al-
Rasul Barzanji, Al-Isha`ah li Ashrat as-Sa`ah, p. 287)
The Last Hour will not come before the tribes of my people at-
tach themselves to the polytheists, and tribes of my people wor-
ship idols. (Sunan Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah)
Ascribing associates to God, or deeming someone or something
(idols) worthy of worship besides God, is a great sin. Some people
think that idolatry involves worshipping statues carved out of stone
and wood, as people did in the past. But this is a great mistake, for
idolatry also means those who ascribe associates to God. Having faith
in God alone, as described in the Qur’an, means dedicating oneself to
God alone. In other words, one believes in attaining God’s good plea-
sure and mercy alone. In the End Times, the number of true believers
who do not ascribe associates to God will diminish, and the number
of people who embrace superstitious beliefs will increase.
