It is true that we  do not bow down before anything in our prayers until and unless we are  in front of <em>ka\u2019bah<\/em>. But the basic philosophy seems to be the same. We bow down before <em>ka\u2019bah<\/em>  from far away but idea remains the same. What is then the difference  between us and the followers of others religions? Does not it only mean  that they bow down directly and we indirectly? They also say that we are  bowing down before idol as a symbol of our respect to God. We follow  the same idea. The only difference is that they bow down before many and  we bow in direction of one object, <em>ka\u2019bah<\/em>. <\/div>\n<div>2. What is status of Hazrat Ibrahim regarding the incident of <em>atish-e-namrood<\/em>?  Was he really thrown into fire and that fire lost its heat? Why God did  not save his Prophets through normal course of action? Why God always  saved the prophets through special help which is not experienced in  normal circumstances? For example, Moses was saved by bisecting the  river. What is the status of these supernatural incidents?<\/div>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>I am sorry I fail to understand that how one can interpret the Muslim act of bowing in direction of the <em>ka&#8217;bah<\/em>  as bowing before the stones when they never do so with the intention of  bowing before the building. They only, as you said, take it as a  monument of <em>tawhid<\/em> and a symbol of worship to one God. The  difference I see between the idolater and the Muslims can be seen in the  fact that the Prophet (sws) did not allow the people to worship the  idols which were even set in the <em>Ka&#8217;bah<\/em>. I believe that if followers of a religion other than Islam bow before an idol taking it to be the <em>aya<\/em>  of one God that cannot be objected to and declared polytheism. For  examples the Jewish and Christian practice of worship is not idol  worship. I would request you kindly to elaborate upon your understanding  with regards to the similarity between the idol worship and bowing in  direction of the <em>ka&#8217;bah<\/em>. Please shed some light on the clear intention of the Muslims and also that of the idol worshippers.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div>The  Qur&#8217;an clearly states that the incident you refer to actually happened.  I believe that the Almighty showed miracles and helped His Messengers  in a way that clearly showed that God was with them. It then served as a  clear argument in the favor of the religion of God.<\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-02-25<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6759\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have two questions to ask.<\/p>\n<div>1.We as a Muslim have a belief that we cannot bow down before any idol, fire etc. but what is the status of <em>Ka\u2019bah<\/em>  as it is also made of stone just like others idols.
