“A Muslim should establish bonding with those who believe in monotheism and Allah, and dislike those who worship any God other than Allah. This formed the basis of ‘thouheed’ (the indivisible oneness concept of monotheism) and it had been clearly told in Quran by narrating the example of Prophet Ibrahim in Surat al Mumtahanah, Nadvi said. ‘How can a Muslim wash and clean the objects of worships that have been declared as enemies by Prophet Ibrahim,’ he asked.”
Surat al Mumtahanah is the 60th chapter of the Qur’an. In it, Abraham is depicted as saying this to his polytheistic relatives: “Indeed, we are disassociated from you and from whatever you worship other than Allah. We have denied you, and there has appeared between us and you animosity and hatred forever until you believe in Allah alone.” In his declaring this everlasting hatred between the Muslims and non-Muslims, Abraham is called an “excellent example” for Muslims. But then the Qur’an specifies that Abraham is not an excellent example for Muslims when he says to his father: “I will surely ask forgiveness for you” (60:4).
“Kerala preacher slams Muslims for offering prayers at temples, churches,” Times of India, September 26, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
KOZHOKIDE: A Salafi preacher has lashed out at Muslim organisations for cleaning up temples and offering prayers there as well as in churches during the recent Kerala floods, describing such acts as among the most detested in Islam….
In the September edition of Al Islah magazine, Abdurauf Nadvi, a member of the Salafi group led by Zakkariyya Swalahi, has denounced celebration of these acts of communal amity. He said these acts amounted to associating with ‘shirk’ (polytheism), which Islam had strictly prohibited.
“Polytheism and the path leading to it have been strongly discouraged in Islam. How can a Muslim offer prayer at a place where the idols, the cross and the photos of Mary and Christ are installed,” Nadvi asked….
