made mockery of idol-worshippers...

made mockery of idol-worshippers, he beheaded all junior idols and made rosary of their head and hanged it over the neck of the biggest idol in temple. People inquired with him who did it? Prophet Ibrahim a.s. replied: Ask your the biggest idol on who the culprit is. Idol-worshippers replied: Neither he listen to us, nor can he reply our queries. Ibrahim a.s. said: Then why are you associating with them!!! Your act is in vain…..

likewise are Ithna Asheri who make the hand shape by themselves, garland it, and kiss it, and seek blessings! But they forget the above Quranic verse about Ibrahim a.s. – those metal men-made hand neither feel nor can it bless!!! Prophet Mohammad s.a. & Mola Ali a.s. broke the idols from the house of God (Kaaba) and Hz. Musa Kazin, Hz. Ali Reza and progeny established idols in the house of God!!!

Read the God’s curse in Quran on those who started associating with the Golden Calf (statue worshipping). Our reply to [5]: This is a serious allegation out of malicious and wicked feelings against the twelve Imami Shias. And very hurting and derogatory comments against their Imams -asws . Allah -azwj has Commanded us to respect ‘شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ’ (2:158, 40:81), so these cannot be idol worshiping!

This is the mockery of Islam – why is there the ‘foot imprint’ of Prophet Ibrahim next to the holy Kabah, which is revered and respected along with the ‘black-stone’ in Holy Kabah? So, here, it looks like a Salafi (Wahabi) talking from the tongue of an Ismaili! In Islam, making and keeping images of living beings (with head and eyes) are indeed forbidden!

But none of the ‘symbols’ of mourning used in the Aza Khana (which contain the Alam (flag) and coffins to remind us the tragedy which took place in Karbala) have head and eyes but are prepared for remembering what had happened in Karbala. Shias kiss and sometimes even bow-down out of reverence, as visitors of the holy graves in Karbala and Najaf do.

Salafis are of the opinion that all shrines should be demolished as they already have succeeded in demolishing the holy graves of Ahl Al-Bayt –asws in ‘Janat-ul-Baqqi in Medina! Bowing down out of respect is allowed, as Allah -azwj asked Angels to bow down to Prophet Adam –as ( 2:34 ) [7] , and Prophet Yaqoob –as together with his sons bow-downed to Prophet Yousef –as (12:110) [8] .

Allah –azwj Sent the Taboot-e-Sakina to Bani Israel (2:248) [9] During Hajj, we touch the walls of the Kabah out of respect and kiss the black Stone (Hajj-e-wat).
