“The parable of the life of this world is but that of rain which We send down from the sky, and which is absorbed by the plants of the earth whereof men and animals draw nourishment, until – when the earth has assumed its artful adornment and has been embellished, and they who dwell on it believe that they have gained mastery over it- there comes down upon it Our judgment, by night or by day, and We cause it to become [like] a field mown down, as if there had been no yesterday. Thus clearly do We spell out these messages unto people who think!”[Qur’an:10:25-30]
Polytheism: The Unpardonable Sin
“AND [know that] God invites [man] unto the abode of peace [dar-us-salam], and guides him that wills [to be guided] onto a straight way. For those who persevere in doing good there is the ultimate good in store, and more [than that]. No darkness and no ignominy will overshadow their faces [on Resurrection Day]: it is they who are destined for paradise, therein to abide. But us for those who have done evil deeds – the recompense of an evil, deed shall be the like thereof: and – since they will have none to defend them against God – ignominy will overshadow them as though their faces were veiled by the night’s own darkness: it is they who are destined for the fire, therein to abide. For, one Day We shall gather them all together, and then We shall say unto those who [in their lifetime] ascribed divinity to aught but God, “Stand where you are, you and those [beings and powers] to whom you were wont to ascribe a share in God’s divinity!”- for by then We shall have [visibly] separated them from one another. And the beings to whom they had ascribed a share in God’s divinity will say [to those who had worshipped them], “It was not us that you were wont to worship; and none can bear witness between us and you as God does: we were, for certain, unaware of your worshipping [us].” There and then will every human being clearly apprehend what he has done in the past; and all will be brought back unto God, their true Lord Supreme, and all their false imagery will have forsaken them.”[Qur’an:10:25-30]
“And there are among them [non believers] such as will in time come to believe in this [divine writ (Qur’an)], just as there are among them such as will never believe in it; and thy Sustainer is fully aware as to who are the spreaders of corruption. And [so, O Prophet,] if they give thee the lie, say: “To me [shall be accounted] my doings, and to you, your doings: you are not accountable for what I am doing, and I am not accountable for whatever you do.” [Qur’an:10-40-41]
“Oh, verily, unto God belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth! Oh, verily, God’s promise always comes true – but most of them know it not!” [Qur’an:10-55]
The Ultimate Truth & Conjecture:
“SAY: “Who is it that provides you with sustenance out of heaven and earth, or who is it that has full power over [your] hearing and sight? And who is it that brings forth the living out of that which is dead, and brings forth the dead out of that which is alive? And who is it that governs all that exists?” And they will [surely] answer: “[It is] God. Say, then: “Will you not, then, become [fully] conscious of Him – seeing that He is God, your Sustainer, the Ultimate Truth? For, after the truth [has been forsaken], what is there [left] but error? How, then, can you lose sight of the truth?” Thus is thy Sustainer’s word proved true with regard to such as are bent on sinful doings: they will not believe. Say: “Can any of those beings to whom you ascribe a share in God’s divinity create [life] in the first instance, and then bring it forth anew?” Say: “It is God [alone] who creates [all life] in the first instance, and then brings it forth anew. How perverted, then, are your minds!” Say: “Does any of those beings to whom you ascribe a share in God’s divinity guide unto the truth?” Say: “It is God [alone] who guides unto the truth. Which, then, is more worthy to be followed – He who guides unto the truth, or he who cannot find the right way unless he is guided? What, then, is amiss with you and your judgment? ” For, most of them follow nothing but conjecture: [and,] behold, conjecture can never be a substitute for truth. Verily, God has full knowledge of all that they do.”[Qur’an:10-31-35]
“And there are among them [non believers] such as will in time come to believe in this [divine writ (Qur’an)], just as there are among them such as will never believe in it; and thy Sustainer is fully aware as to who are the spreaders of corruption. And [so, O Prophet,] if they give thee the lie, say: “To me [shall be accounted] my doings, and to you, your doings: you are not accountable for what I am doing, and I am not accountable for whatever you do.” [Qur’an:10-40-41]
“Oh, verily, unto God belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth! Oh, verily, God’s promise always comes true – but most of them know it not!”[Qur’an:10-55]
