C)Because they prefer geometric art forms
D) because Muslims do not have the skill to make Idols
Yes, A.
The correct answer is A) Because the commandments ban worship of idols.
To determine the answer to this question, one can examine the teachings of Islam. In Islam, Muslims follow the teachings of the Quran, which is believed to be the word of God as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. The Quran contains several commandments that explicitly prohibit the worship of idols.
Verse 4:48 of the Quran states, "Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with Allah has certainly fabricated a tremendous sin." This verse emphasizes that associating partners with Allah, such as worshipping idols, is a grave sin that is not forgiven.
Additionally, verse 21:52-54 of the Quran mentions Prophet Abraham's rejection of idol worship. It states, "And thus did We show Abraham the realm of the heavens and the earth that he would be among the certain [in faith]. So when the night covered him [with darkness], he saw a star. He said, 'This is my lord.' But when it set, he said, 'I like not those that disappear.' And when he saw the moon rising, he said, 'This is my lord.' But when it set, he said, 'Unless my Lord guides me, I will surely be among the people gone astray.'" This verse highlights Prophet Abraham's realization that celestial objects, such as stars and the moon, are not fit for worship.
Based on these teachings from the Quran, it becomes clear that the maintenance of the taboo against idols in Islam is primarily due to the commandments that ban the worship of idols.
