The flame is a symbol of eternal fire worshipers. Agni worshipers worship the fire by lighting it, bowing before it, showing respect and getting inspiration from it. Before the birth of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), the Persians used to worship him by lighting flames. That flame has been burning for thousands of years. But at the time of the birth of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) that flame was extinguished by the might of Allaah. It is shirk and kufr to prostrate or salute any person or object other than Allah, to be inspired by a garland. Because the symbolic fire of the pagan or foreign community is used by the Muslims as a symbol of joy or a special day, giving salute, wreath, etc. to show respect to it is the name of fire worship. Because, it has been mentioned in Hadith: I liken them to a nation. That is, "a person who bears a resemblance to a particular community in terms of particular work or particular conduct will belong to them." So it is haraam and najaiz for Muslims to show respect to any symbol of a foreign community in any way. Secondly, Kufr exists in the eternal name of Shikha. For, Allah alone is eternal and ever-living. No person or thing other than Allah can be eternal or ever-living. In the Holy Qur'an, Irshad says: “Allah is the Great Being - there is no god but He. He is eternal and everlasting. ” 7895631693
