Description complète
The speaker addresses a question regarding a hadith about the origins of idols like Wadd and Suwa. He explains that these figures were originally righteous prophets and messengers sent by God to various nations, whose true identities were lost over time. The discussion includes the belief that many historical philosophers and deities, such as Aristotle, Buddha, and Osiris, were actually divine messengers misunderstood by later generations. The second part of the talk focuses on the validity of different forms of Tawassul (intercession). The speaker affirms that asking God by the right of the Prophets and Ahl al-Bayt, or directly requesting their intercession for sustenance and forgiveness, is permissible. This practice is compared to asking a fellow human for help, emphasizing that it does not constitute shirk as long as one recognizes God as the ultimate Creator. Finally, the video distinguishes these beliefs from the pre-Islamic Arab practice of idolatry. The speaker clarifies that the Arabs of Jahiliya worshipped idols as independent gods or creators, a polytheistic act rejected by Islam, rather than using them merely as a means to draw closer to the One God.
