Causes of the Spread of Superstitions and Polytheism Among People

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In his second question, he asks: What are the causes that lead to the spread of superstitions and the emergence of polytheism among people, and what is our guidance in this matter?

Answer:
The causes are: a lack of knowledge, the prevalence of ignorance, a scarcity of those who advise Allah and His servants, greed for wealth and fame, and the envy and hatred that exist among people. All of these are causes of evil. If a person does not have taqwa (mindfulness of Allah) and a religion that protects him, he will do whatever his soul desires, such as oppression, aggression, calling to falsehood, and spreading religious innovations and superstitions. This is because he has no taqwa to restrain him and no fear of Allah to hold him back. We ask Allah for well-being. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah accept it.
