1.4 From Pictures To Statues

Many years later, people went one step more. They moved from just making pictures to making statues of the dead good men. Houses and places of worships became home for more and more of these statues. At this step, people are still aware that Allah alone should be worshipped and that these statues could neither hurt them nor provide anything for them.
Years went by and the number of statues is still increasing and people respected them more and more and they even began to look for blessings in them. Whenever one of their holy men died, they would make a statue of him and name it after him. At this stage, Satan's four-step plan began to have an impact on people worship since they began to think that they can get blessings from these stone or wooden made statues. (Step 2 implemented).
