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).
