Madlib - Pyramids (Change)
I understand where some of yall say the Pyramids of Giza (Egyptian, but others too I assume) are symbols of tyrannical hierarchy used even today in our times.....over the last 10 year after reading and listening, I definitely get it. Still it's only a symbol and we really don't even know how the thing was created.....there is no definitive proof one way or another. My only point is, the hundreds of ways that people/groups try to symbolize or represent it should not take away from the physical structure itself..........................its an awe inspiring thing, and for thousands of years humans have tried to construct/deconstruct "what it means" (even if its just an uber graveyard)............I went there 3 times in 6 months...and EVERY TIME I set foot upon the grounds and looked up I was completely
AWE STRUCK........
Which ironically............
......................is the reason the extreme POV of idolatry emanating from those that would see this destroyed would call for its destruction.....................
..................where does "idolatry" end..............can you not look at a beautiful rose and admire it through your senses??? I hope Muslims step up and stop this type of thing from going forth.......it would be a great tragedy to human heritage.........Can Muslims not grant the Pyramids a nice Ma'Shallah....basically meaning its nice, but not better than God.......Like if you see and comment on a woman that is pretty or some artwork or clothing that is nice, as a Muslim, your supposed to end it with a Ma'Shallah...correct????
I really hope this is just talk..........but after my first post about a Buddha statue and even Muhammad's era's architecture being destroyed, because of fear of "idolatry", this whole thing is kinda unnerving....
