Why did people start worshipping the idols?

Question: As-salamu alaykum. Walaykum as-salam. I want to tell you why do the people start worshipping the idols?

Hazoor (rh): Because it is to worship something, somebody is in human nature and because you can’t live without worshipping. you know even if you don’t believe in idols people start worshipping their heroes their the human beings powerful people on earth technically not calling them God yet they bow to them so that is the human urge to worship so if people are not led to God then they create their own gods that is how idol worship comes into being.
