Ba'l
|
Ba’l was
an idol. Its name is mentioned in the Holy Qur-an. Ba’l was
worshipped by the people of Iliyas A (Elias), a messenger of Allah
(God), who belonged to Bani Isra’il.Iliyas A (Elias) invited
his people to the path of Allah.
|
|
And
verily, Iliyas (Elias) was one of the Messengers.
|
|
When
he said to his people: "Will you not fear Allah? |
|
Will
you call upon Ba'l (a well- known idol of his nation whom
they used to worship) and forsake the Best of creators, |
|
Allah,
your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers? |
|
But
they denied him [Iliyas (Elias)], so they will certainly be
brought forth (to the punishment), |
|
Except
the chosen slaves of Allah. |
|
And
We left for him (a goodly remembrance) among generations (to
come) in later times; |
|
Salamun
(peace) be upon Iliyasin (Elias)! |
|
Verily,
thus do We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers, who perform good
deeds totally for Allah's sake only |
|
Verily,
he was one of Our believing slaves.
