This idolworship story is valid only in cultures where qualified values on creation are consistent with the beliefs rooted in Abraham. Faith of Abraham was extremely distorted by human images. For man transforms everything into a picture because he can only explain things to its own brain in pictorial form. A lot of winged and hoofed creatures have been shaped what inspired art, but have wiped out something what can only be perceived without image, form. This is the vibration, radiation, energy, or call it as you want.

Temple Kailasa, India

I agree that man's ancient relationship with the stone, in which spiritual representation plays a role, is idol worship. But there is another relationship that Africa, India or Australia will help us to understand. For not all temples were built for the Gods. They may have been moved in later, but those were not originally intended for Gods and people did not come to pray in these places. Why did people go there? Simply because it was good to be there. Haven't you been to a place where you lowered your eyes and felt the power of the location? Were you not sitting, pondering while being inspired by the huge structure of the building or the radiation of the site? For my part, I like to sit in a mosque or temple until the priest begins ringing the bells or the sheikh appears to start the ceremony. As soon as it happens, the magic disappears for me. And I especially hate when I sit in a sanctuary in order to be alone with my thoughts and somebody who has a compulsion to talk, settles next to me. I know many people don't like me writing that, but I'm not going to lie. Obviously, other people feel differently and for them the rites and places are sacred another way.

Stonehenge

Isn't it fantastic that our ancestors built their temples and mosques in places where not only the buildings but also the location have an elusive attraction? And these are not ghosts, demons and other fairy-tale characters. Such a structure carved in stone ensures safety not only because it has solid walls, but it also radiates something where to be is good. It is also true that Allah could destroy this gigantic sensation in one minute if these structures were not appreciated in their place and used them for idolatry. Petra is known by many, but I draw attention to the Kailasa temple in India, which was carved from a single rock during five generations. Three levels with altars, statues.

Petra

Out of the mountains did they hew (their) edifices, (feeling themselves) secure. (Quran 15:82)

Remains of these rock edifices in the Hijr are still found, and the City of Petra is not more than 380 miles from Jabal Hijr. See 7:73. "Petra" in Greek means "Rock"

Uluru, Australia

We live in a German concept where everything has to be explained, everything has to have a purpose, and everything has to be done quickly. Life has to be done quickly, too. Why has to be explained everything? Why do I have to bring reasons, quotes, items and paragraphs, if I want to make love with my wife? Isn't that just enough if it is good? Why do I have to hurry to get somewhere, then why do I have to hurry up to go further? Why do I have to eat food quickly and then rush away? Why can't I stay and enjoy every bite of it? Why? Because it's good like that! I know there is no explanation, no item, no prescription. There are only those that one should count the number of chews and the amount of water what drinks. Why do I need to quote from the Holy Books when I give money for a beggar or bread for one who starves? Why do I have to convert these actions into a business cheer with God, expecting from Him a reward in the afterlife? Why isn't it good enough that to help is a good feeling? Why do I put all in rules? Isn't it enough to feel the good?

Emerald testing

In Madagascar I was given the opportunity to issue certificates for emeralds. Three huge emerald blocks were found in one lode. The largest was 12 kg. This stone was never in one place. An armed brigade was constantly traveling with it and changing its location. I was asked to test it and issue a certification. When I stood in front of the stone, millions of years of history unfolded before me. It was once a beryllium gas, stained with copper, chrome, vanadium what trapped in a cavity. It could be a huge cavity and a huge amount of gas. Then it came under gigantic pressure, obviously because the cavity got into the deeper layers. Blocks crystallized out of the vast space occupied by gas over millions of years and this stone is one of them. But the story is not over yet. Due to a new layer movement these blocks were brought to the surface in a substrate lode, probably going to the sea, where the waves rolled and licked the blocks for millions of years, polishing their surface. Then the earth swallowed them up again till the day those were found. Huge energies emerged from the stone. It was almost radiating. The emerald returned something back from the strength that has squeezed and crystallized it over millions of years. It can be deduced from this story that there is a ghost locked in the stone what is bursting through, but also that Subhan Allah, Who gave this mighty energy and shaped the stone into what it has become. And if this stone has such a glorifying role for Allah, it is a peanut comparing to what our planet or the Universe could tell us about their creation and formation until we see them in their state today!

Stand next to a rock or hug a tree. Why? Because it's good! It is the great beast of God who does this because of the demon in the rock or the spirit of the tree. Both the rock and the tree radiate the story of their creation what you feel and receive. Everything is praising Him!
