שמע ישראל ה' אלהינו ה' אחד
فمن كان يرجوا لقاء ربه فليعمل عملا صالحا ولا يشرك بعبادة ربه أحدا

Star Idol

Posted By Snow at 4/02/2013

First of all, I'm sorry. I truly am.

OK. So. Brace for it. I just wanna say... I don't really understand why society idolizes celebrities. Have you ever thought that, maybe if you love these celebs so much. You praise them, you spend so much time with stuffs about them, you buy their merchandizes, you long for a glimpse of them that maybe they can get paid just to appear in events. They're treated like the most glorious beings on earth...

That is their wonderful starry life. So. What are you, what do you get?

Isn't it like an illusion... you like them so much yet do they know you? & just imagine. Suddenly you're disfigured for life in an accident. Will your star idol be by your side? Will they spend money, time & love for you? If you die, will they accompany you in the grave?
.: · throw dust
on the face ·:.


So. Why do you idolize a stranger so much?

أهلكتم - أو قطعتم - ظهر الرجل
Narrated Abu Musa: The Prophet heard a man praising another man and he was exaggerating in his praise. The Prophet said (to him). "You have destroyed (or cut) the back of the man." [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 8 Book 73 Hadith 86]

أمرنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم
أن نحثي في وجوه المداحين التراب
Abu Ma'mar reported that a person lauded a ruler amongst the rulers and Miqdad began to throw dust upon him and he said: Allah's Messenger commanded us that we should throw dust upon the faces of those who shower too much praise. [Sahih Muslim, Book 42 Hadith 7142]

Do not flatter those in authority...
By such acts you demean yourself.

Caliph Umar al-Khattab [ref]
Please note the names of rock idols formerly belonged to pious men | QA

كلا سيكفرون بعبادتهم ويكونون عليهم ضدا
No! They will deny their worship of them
and will be against them as adversaries.
[Holy Quran 19:82]

... The names (of the idols) formerly belonged to some pious men of the people of Noah, and when they died Satan inspired their people to prepare and place idols at the places where they used to sit, and to call those idols by their names.

The people did so, but the idols were not worshipped till those people (who initiated them) had died and the origin of the idols had become obscure, whereupon people began worshipping them.

Then Satan would come to them in human form and would say: Don't you respond? And they would say: What do you order us? And he would command them to worship the idols but, in spite of this, they would have abundance of sustenance and lead comfortable lives... [Partial Sahih Muslim, Book 41 Hadith 7023]

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

ووهبنا له إسحاق ويعقوب كلا هدينا ونوحا هدينا من قبل
ومن ذريته داود وسليمان وأيوب ويوسف وموسى وهارون وكذلك نجزي المحسنين
وزكريا ويحيى وعيسى وإلياس كل من الصالحين
وإسماعيل واليسع ويونس ولوطا وكلا فضلنا على العالمين
ومن آبائهم وذرياتهم وإخوانهم ۖ واجتبيناهم وهديناهم إلى صراط مستقيم

ذلك هدى الله يهدي به من يشاء من عباده ولو أشركوا لحبط عنهم ما كانوا يعملون

أولئك الذين آتيناهم الكتاب والحكم والنبوة فإن يكفر بها هؤلاء فقد وكلنا بها قوما ليسوا بها بكافرين
أولئك الذين هدى الله ۖ فبهداهم اقتده ۗ قل لا أسألكم عليه أجرا ۖ إن هو إلا ذكرى للعالمين

And We gave to him (Abraham), Isaac and Jacob — all (of them) We guided. And Noah, We guided before. And among his descendants, David and Solomon and Job and Joseph and Moses and Aaron — thus We reward the doers of good. And Zechariah and John and Jesus and Elias — all (of them) were of the righteous. And Ishmael and Elisha and Jonah and Lot — and all (of them) We preferred over the worlds. And from their fathers and their descendants and their brothers, and We chose them and We guided them to Sirat Mustaqim (صراط مستقيم straight path).

That is the guidance of Allah by which He guides whomever He wills of His servants. But if they had associated others with Allah, then worthless for them whatever they were doing.

Those are the ones to whom We gave the Scripture and authority and prophet hood. But if the disbelievers deny it, then We have entrusted it to a people who are not therein disbelievers. Those are the ones whom Allah has guided. So from their guidance take an example. Say, "I ask of you for this message no payment. It is not but a reminder for the worlds."


[Holy Quran 6:84-90]

قل ما أسألكم عليه من أجر إلا من شاء أن يتخذ إلى ربه سبيلا

Say "I do not ask of you for it any payment, only that whoever wills to accept a way to his Lord."

يا غلام إني أعلمك كلمات
احفظ الله يحفظك
احفظ الله تجده تجاهك

إذا سألت فاسأل الله
وإذا استعنت فاستعن بالله

واعلم‏‏ أن الأمة لو اجتمعت
على أن ينفعوك بشيء
لم ينفعوك إلا بشيء
قد كتبه الله لك

وإن اجتمعوا
على أن يضروك بشيء
لم يضروك بشيء
إلا بشيء قد كتبه الله عليك
