Surat Al-An'am, 144 (Ignorant people fabricate superstitions)

(Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview dated September 18, 2010)

… WHO COULD DO GREATER WRONG THAN SOMEONE WHO INVENTS LIES AGAINST ALLAH THUS LEADING PEOPLE ASTRAY WITHOUT ANY KNOWLEDGE? Allah does not guide the people of the wrongdoers. (Surat Al-An‘am, 144)

 

"Without any knowledge": This means there aren’t any distinct commands in the Qur’an, and no sound hadith of our Prophet (pbuh). After inventing lies against Allah, then the ignorant person comes and tells a Muslim, “You do not comply with this.” The Muslim says, “Yes, I do not comply because it is fabrication.” The ignorant person asks, “I have heard such from my ancestors, on what basis are you acting?” and says, “you may become a deviator.” And goes on, “If you abide by these fabrications which are the religion of my ancestors, then you may have fear of Allah.” Will the ignorant person accept that, Allah forbid, if a Muslim is mistaken and does that, then this ignorant person will find another issue. This is a tactic used by hypocrites, and one that was the practice in the Masjid ad-Dirar ( Mosque of Mischief) in the time of our Prophet (saas). They invented superstitions when the religion our Prophet (saas) preached was explicit.
