Do not blindly follow your forefathers
When Hud (AS) admonished his people against worshipping false deities, most of them retorted, 'Have you come to us that we should worship Allah alone and leave what our fathers have worshipped?' (7:70) The residents of Thamud similarly questioned Salih (AS), 'Do you forbid us to worship what our fathers worshipped?' (11:62) People tend to become emotionally attached to their long'held customs and traditions without reflecting on their desirability or plausibility. Today, we must beware of our own customs and societal norms that are falsely attributed to Islam, and renounce all unfair cultural practices that are being passed down generations.
