The '''Event of Breaking the Idols' | The '''Event of Breaking the Idols''' or '''Idoloclasm''' refers to the incident where [[Imam Ali (a)]] broke the idols on the roof of the [[Kaaba]]. During this event, Imam Ali (a) climbed onto the [[Prophet (s)|Prophet's (s)]] shoulders, ascended to the Kaaba's roof, and threw down idols such as Hubal. This story is cited in both [[Shiite]] and [[Sunni]] sources. The event is said to have occurred either on [[Laylat al-Mabit]] (the night when the Prophet (s) left Mecca and Ali (s) slept in the Prophet's (s) bed to deceive his adversaries) or during the [[Conquest of Mecca]]. | ||
The story of breaking the idols is said to be the [[Asbab al-Nuzul|occasion for the revelation]] of verses such as "And say, ‘Truth has come, and falsehood has departed’" and "And We raised him to a high station." After this event, Prophet Muhammad (s) described [[Prophet Abraham (a)]] as the first idoloclast and Imam Ali (a) as the last idoloclast. In some hadiths, Ali (a) is characterized as "kasir al-asnam" (idol breaker). | The story of breaking the idols is said to be the [[Asbab al-Nuzul|occasion for the revelation]] of verses such as "And say, ‘Truth has come, and falsehood has departed’" and "And We raised him to a high station."
