CHAPTER 14 MORE BIBLICAL BELIEFS OF THE AHLUL SUNNAH - GRAVEN IMAGES

The false religion of Ahlul Sunnah believes that one should not make statues of animals and humans. They say that the act of having statues of humans and animals will lead to idol worship. They also disallow the making of woodcarvings,

moulds and also the drawing or painting of pictures that have animals or

human forms.

Of course with the advent of newspapers, television, videos etc it is a

little ridiculous for the Ahlul Sunnah to insist on such foolish beliefs. But the ulema of Ahlul Sunnah have learnt the value of publicity. They will not mind being photographed by the newspapers or being filmed for the television news coverage. It means more money for them. The Ahlul Sunnah ulema of Saudi Arabia have come up with a simple solution to get around the problem of having their ‘graven images’ recorded on photographs. They say that a photograph is just like a mirror that reflects a human beings face. It is just that in a photograph, the image stays. So it is alright.

First they make the silly little rules. Then they find their own even more silly loopholes to break their own silly little rules.

Again you will not find such silly beliefs in the teachings of the Prophet

which is the Quran. But you will most definitely find such teachings in the Christian Bible. The Christian Bible calls it the worship of ‘graven images’. It is found in the following verses of the Bible:

[Deut 4:16] beware lest you act corruptly by making a graven image for

yourselves, in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

[Deut 4:14] And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that you might do them in the land which you are going over to

possess.

[Deut 4:15] "Therefore take good heed to yourselves. Since you saw no form

on the day that the LORD spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire,

[Deut 4:16] beware lest you act corruptly by making a graven image for

yourselves, in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

[Deut 4:17] the likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of

any winged bird that flies in the air,

[Deut 4:18] the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness

of any fish that is in the water under the earth.

So the Christians and their religious cousins the Ahlul Sunnah or the Sunnis are not allowed to make graven images of birds, animals, fish, humans and other beings. This is known as Ahlul Sunnah Christianity.

The strange thing is that the Christians do not follow their own Bible’s

prohibitions about ‘Graven Images’ anymore. Hence the Catholic churches are full of statues, cherubs, angels, Mary Mother of --- and so on. But the Ahlul Sunnah have taken this Biblical teachings to greater heights. Their so called ‘Ahlul Sunnah’ art has been reduced to nothing more than arabic calligraphy (there is no Chinese or Indian ‘Ahlul Sunnah’ calligraphy) and making geometric patterns because the Ahlul Sunnah have been obeying strictly the Biblical prohibitions on creating ‘Graven Images’ of humans and animals.

But according to the teachings of the Prophet this should not be the case.

No less a person than a Prophet, a Messenger of God by the name of Solomon

was actively engaged in the making of statues. This is what the Quran says:

[Surah 34:12] And unto Solomon (We gave) the wind, whereof the morning

course was a month's journey and the evening course a month's journey, and

We caused the fount of copper to gush forth for him, and (We gave him)

certain of the jinn who worked before him by permission of his Lord. And

such of them as deviated from Our command, them We caused to taste the

punishment of flaming Fire.

[Surah 34:13] They made for him what he willed: buildings and STATUES,

basins like wells and boilers built into the ground. Give thanks, O House of

David! Few of My bondmen are thankful.

God gave the Prophet Solomon control over the elements and also control over

the jinns (genies). And Solomon commandeered the genies to make for him

“buildings and STATUES, basins like wells and boilers built into the ground”.

And for all this Solomon (who was David’s heir) was thankful to his God.

“Give thanks, O House of David! Few of My bondmen are thankful”.

Hence there is nothing wrong in creating statues, artforms or paintings that

have human and animal forms in them. Once again this is just another

example of the Biblical teachings that have been absorbed by the Ahlul Sunnah.
