As for the assumption that the Muslims should ever revert to polytheism,
this too can never happen, because Allah the Almighty has
himself declared:
That is: ‘Polytheism and idolatry has been so uprooted that it shall neither
put forth new branches nor return to its previous state.’ (Surah
Saba’, Part no. 22) ‡
The truth of this prophecy is self-evident. despite the passage of
a long time, idolatry and polytheism have not been able to replace
Tauhid [oneness of God] in any land from which they were uprooted.
And sane reason also bears full faith to the truthfulness of this prophecy
for future, because if Muslims held fast to the doctrine of divine
oneness while they were few and vulnerable—nay, they became even
more firmly established upon it—how can they abandon it now when
they are over two hundred million strong? What is more, even the
polytheists in this age are drawing somewhat closer to the doctrine
of divine oneness because of their exposure to the teachings of the
holy Quran and their continuous association with the adherents of
divine Unity. Wherever you look you will find the arguments for
divine Unity valiantly bombarding the fictitious towers of idolatry
and the zeal and fervour of the believers of Tauhid is sending nervous
jitters in the hearts of the idolaters—the enlightened among whom are
realizing the hollowness of the edifice of creature-worship. Everyday
the powerful guns of divine oneness are blowing away the unsightly
shacks of idolatry. Thus, it is no longer possible for the darkness of
idolatry to envelop the world, as it did in the past when people were
prone to confusing the creator with the created.
Since it is not possible for the teachings of the holy Quran to be
corrupted or interpolated, and there is no chance that the entire world
will ever revert to the darkness of idolatry, it follows that the coming
of a new divine law or new scripture [after the holy Quran] is also
not logically possible, because that which is conditional upon the
