That is why, when Umm Salama, may God be pleased with her, and Umm Habiba came, they were in Abyssinia, may God be pleased with them.

[0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ClwiTFzrSQbW/en/excessive-veneration-of-the-righteous-and-seeking-help-from-others?t=22) They told the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, about a church that had images in it.

[0:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ClwiTFzrSQbW/en/excessive-veneration-of-the-righteous-and-seeking-help-from-others?t=28) The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said that those people are the worst of creation in the sight of God, and that when a righteous man among them or someone they revered died, they built a place of worship over his grave.

[0:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ClwiTFzrSQbW/en/excessive-veneration-of-the-righteous-and-seeking-help-from-others?t=43) Those are the worst of creation in the sight of God, or so the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said.

[0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ClwiTFzrSQbW/en/excessive-veneration-of-the-righteous-and-seeking-help-from-others?t=46) There is no doubt that this kind of excess is one of the main causes that have led many people to turn away from devotion to God alone. Look, folks, the thing is, polytheism only occurs when monotheism is weak.

[1:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ClwiTFzrSQbW/en/excessive-veneration-of-the-righteous-and-seeking-help-from-others?t=62) In other words, turning to anyone other than God in a blameworthy way only happens because devotion to God Almighty alone is weak.

[1:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ClwiTFzrSQbW/en/excessive-veneration-of-the-righteous-and-seeking-help-from-others?t=71) You know that some people, both today and in the past, have actually reached the point where, when a hardship or calamity befalls them and they hope for it to be resolved, And I showed that he really does call on someone other than God.

[1:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ClwiTFzrSQbW/en/excessive-veneration-of-the-righteous-and-seeking-help-from-others?t=83) This does happen. When distress and hardship come upon him, real hardship, he says, “O Hussein!” or “O Abbas!” and so on, or “O Zahra!”

[1:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ClwiTFzrSQbW/en/excessive-veneration-of-the-righteous-and-seeking-help-from-others?t=94) We even saw them do this in wars. They fire a shell and say, “O Zahra!”

[1:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ClwiTFzrSQbW/en/excessive-veneration-of-the-righteous-and-seeking-help-from-others?t=98) Then, when it comes, he takes shelter in her: “O Zahra! O my master!” So where is Almighty God in all this? I mean, if Fatima al- Zahra is the one who guides the shots, or Hussein is the one protecting you from the shells, and, I mean… I mean, if you see,

[1:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ClwiTFzrSQbW/en/excessive-veneration-of-the-righteous-and-seeking-help-from-others?t=113) he'll say, “By the grace of Hussein.” And if… if he comes to swear an oath, then what is left for Almighty God?

[2:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ClwiTFzrSQbW/en/excessive-veneration-of-the-righteous-and-seeking-help-from-others?t=120) What is left for Almighty God? This only happens because of weakness in truly relying on Almighty God.

[2:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ClwiTFzrSQbW/en/excessive-veneration-of-the-righteous-and-seeking-help-from-others?t=127) Now, if you reflect on God's Book, Almighty God wants you to rely on Him.

[2:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ClwiTFzrSQbW/en/excessive-veneration-of-the-righteous-and-seeking-help-from-others?t=132) He wants you to hold fast to Him. He wants you to call on Him for help. He wants you to pray to Him, Glorified and Praised be He.
