Amongst the various attributes given in Rigveda, one of the beautiful attributes for Almighty God is Brahma. Brahma means %u2018the Creator. If you translate into Arabic it means Khaliq. Islam does not object to anyone calling Almighty God as Khaliq or Creator or Brahma, but if someone says that Brahma i.e. Almighty God has got four heads and on each head is a crown and this Brahma has got four hands, Islam takes strong exception to it because such descriptions give an image to Almighty God. Such descriptions are also against what is propounded in Yajurveda Chapter 32, verse 3 which says:
Na tasya pratima asti There is no image of Him. (Yajurveda 32:3)

Mosque is a community centre where people gather and pray. Even if all the mosques are broken there will still be One God. It is not a place of idol worship. There is no god sitting inside the mosque. Kaaba was broken many times by the invading armies. Does it destroy Islam. This religion will be there as long as God is there. It does not depend on its followers too. Even if every muslim in this world is killed. Islam remains.

1. What is Jazia as per Islam. Is it justifiable. 2. Idol breaking. Is it justifiable when it hurts other. 3. Quran prohibits sketching of bird, human , animal etc etc. Is it justifiable. 4. Mohamad faught war , killed many. As areligious preacher, is it sound good if a saint kill and That too only males and marry or distribute woman folk.
