1) They believed in Allaah but states that He had given power/partnership to their idols.

2) By making prostration, vows, pledges, and sacrifices on their behalf.

3) If the Kaabah was not there we will still face that direction. To read inside the Kaabah is permissible. To perform Salaat in the Kaabah is permissible but Makrooh, Do idol-worshippers stand on their idols?

4) To worship a photo, statue or anything thereof thinking and believing that the thing has the power of divinity of giving good or bad and providing benefit or harm.
