Idolatry
Idolatry is the worship of idols or physical objects as representations of divine beings. It often involves giving reverence to these objects, which can include statues, images, or symbols, believing they possess spiritual power. Idolatry is commonly found in various religions, where followers may seek blessings or guidance through these representations.
In many religious traditions, such as Judaism and Islam, idolatry is considered a serious offense, as it detracts from the worship of a singular, transcendent God. Conversely, in some cultures, idol worship is an integral part of spiritual practice, reflecting deep cultural beliefs and traditions.
