‘Free-minded, progressive plaintiffs who used to donate that money to the poor without sacrificing themselves for so long. Did any of them say to distribute the money to the poor without making sculptures? Mizanur Rahman Azhari has posed that question through his status on his verified Facebook page. Azhari has recently commented on the controversy over the construction of a sculpture of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at Dholaikhal in the capital. At the same time, he has laid out the reasoning behind keeping sculptures in the heart and not sculptures or statues so that the revered people are memorable. For New Horizons readers, your post stands out exactly,
‘Immortal in heart, not in sculpture.
Sculpture: It is an art or craft rich in non-Muslim culture. No matter how much a person deserves respect and dignity, in Islam it is not allowed to make idols or sculptures to preserve their memory.
.
In order to keep the footprints of Ibrahim (AS) in memory, special instructions have been given to perform the prayers of Ibrahim in Mecca. His tracks are still preserved there. But preserving the whole body is a completely non-Islamic culture. Islam prohibits the making of statues or sculptures of people or animals. This pagan idea, along with the Islamic faith, is at a completely opposite angle of 180 degrees.
.
There are some things that Islam is very strict about. As a result, there is no possibility of giving a small discount in such cases. Shirk is one of them. In the Holy Qur’an, shirking has been declared as “Zulmun Azim” or great injustice. Therefore, it is not outwardly circumventing, but in the future it may somehow lead to circumventing, or it may be similar to the activity of circumventing, something that is forbidden in Islam. The same goes for sculpture.
.
This is exactly the origin of polytheism in the time of Noah (PBUH). There were five very God-fearing people in that city. After his death, at the instigation of Satan, the townspeople first made five sculptures to commemorate them and then began their worship instead of Allah Ta’ala. And this is how shirk began in the world.
.
The ancient Greeks and Romans wanted to commemorate famous people through sculpture so that the next generation would remember them with devotion. Therefore, many sculptures have been created around the world. But has this sculpture been able to bring a positive image in the minds of all of them? In fact, people are remembered for their actions. The Karmagune man dies but lives in the human heart. For example, there is a sculpture of Hitler, there is a mummy of the pharaoh. But everyone hates them. On the other hand, there are no sculptures of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and the four caliphs, not even an image. But even after thousands of years, the world remembers them, keeping their ideals in their hearts.
.
If the government so wishes, it can, if necessary, erect religious sculptures or idols of brothers of other religions in the shrines or in their permanent residential areas, according to their needs, with government funds. No one should have a problem with this. But in a Muslim-majority country, ignoring the opinions of the majority of religious people in the country and acceptable scholars, placing such sculptures in public places cannot be in any way logical.
.
Also, portraits of loved ones will be burned in the sun, drenched in the rain, or left crows with crows on their heads, none of which are to the liking.
.
Free-minded and progressive claimants who used to donate that money to the poor without sacrificing themselves for so long. Did any of them say they distribute money to the poor without making sculptures? During the Crown period, people are experiencing widespread food and medical crises. It is not at all desirable to create so much instability throughout the country by making sculptures at such a critical moment.
.
There are many effective ways to enhance the beauty of the city and preserve the memory of great and noble personalities of the country. We can build universities of international standards, high-quality libraries, laboratories, roads, bridges, research centers, institutes, charitable foundations, etc. on behalf of the National Heroes if we want. Or an informative documentary about your work, an international quality website, a research grant, or a nationally sponsored national seminar or symposium. This will develop the country, benefit the ten, and the memorable will be more memorable.
