Nagapattinam district on Monday night. Police sources told The Hindu on
Wednesday that the value of the idols have not been ascertained as yet.

It is amazing that despite human beings are so superior than other beings in their achievements, intelligence and understanding yet today a large number of people devote themselves to objects that they themselves make, from their own hands. Even animals don't show servitude to things they gather and assemble; then what is the matter with these intellectual beings? They worship and seek help from things that cannot hear them, answer them, benefit them or harm them? How can they reduce 'God' - the Creator of everything that exists, the All-powerful, the Maintainer to idols so powerless that thieves steal them away? These gods cannot help themselves, so how would they help the people? Almighty God says in the Qur'aan: O mankind! An example has been coined, so listen to it (carefully): Verily, those on whom you call besides Allâh, cannot create (even) a fly, even though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly snatches away a thing from them, they will have no power to release it from the fly. So weak are (both) the seeker and the sought. [Qur'aan 22:73] Is there really a Creator? What is the Qur'aan? Who is Allah? What is Islam and what is the Message of Islam? |
