How Islam eradicated polytheism and superstitions.

It's very interesting topic to discuss how Islam eradicated polytheism and superstitions. Our beloved prophet (pbuh) propagated two distinct ideas which were based on two principles.

Tawheed Rububiyyah, which means that Allah, is One, without any partners or associates.

Tawheed 'Ulluhiyyah, which means that, Allah must be worshiped alone, total slavery must be to Allah alone ranging from the spiritual to political.

This was the message of Tawheed which provoked the angry of Makkah authority because they realized that Mohammad (pbuh) posed a threat to their hegemony.
Our beloved Prophet (pbuh) summoned them to worship the one and true God.

Polytheism and superstitions looked upon things and creatures as deities because they regard everything sanctity. Before the advent of Islam. Polytheism and superstitions dominated the whole world. Before Islam people regarded the moon, the sun, water, fire, sky, sea and mountains as deities. Basically, Modern science is the part of Islam because it opened the doors of research and progress. Polytheism and superstitions were the main obstacles of research and development because man had given natural phenomena sanctity.

According to Henri Pirenne author of ''History of Western Europe'' says, "Islam changed the face of the globe.

The supremacy of polytheism was brought to an end by Islamic revolution, it was replaced with monotheism. Before Islamic Revolution, The rulers and kings exploited the masses through polytheism and superstitions. The Kings represented the God on earth.

After the advent of Islam, Islam eradicated all superstitions and polytheism because of its unique message (Tawheed).

After Trump’s visit to Saudi Arabia all of sudden Saudi Arabia and their allies have severed its ties with Qatar. There are more reasons behind it, why Saudi Arabia has cut diplomatic relations with Qatar. First of all, Qatar is the world's largest producer of liquified natural ga s.

RIBA is an unjustified increment in borrowing or lending money. This is the simple definition of RIBA. Why RIBA is haram in Islam? Allah says in the Quran that RIBA in all forms was utterly condemned, and those cared not for its prohibition were threatened a holy war to be waged against them by Allah and his messenger (2:275-279) On one occasion our beloved prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said that RIBA is more sinful than committing adultery repeatedly. I'm quite perplexed that eating pork is haram but muslims don't have any problem with devouring RIBA. Muslims are well acquainted that engaging in RIBA is major sin. The fact remains that, Majority of muslims engage in RIBA and don't care what Allah says in the Quran. Why it is haram because Allah declared it ...
