Say: "I am commanded to worship <strong>All</strong>ah, making my religion sincerely His. And I am commanded to<br />

be <strong>the</strong> first of <strong>the</strong> Muslims." Say: "I fear, were I to disobey my Lord, <strong>the</strong> punishment of a terrible day."<br />

Say: "It is <strong>All</strong>ah I worship, making my religion sincerely His, so worship anything you will apart from Him!"<br />

Say: "The real losers are those who lose <strong>the</strong>mselves and <strong>the</strong>ir families on <strong>the</strong> Day of Rising." Is not that<br />

clear loss? (Surat az-Zumar: 11-15)<br />

He Who originates creation and <strong>the</strong>n regenerates it and provides <strong>for</strong> you from out of heaven and<br />

earth. Is <strong>the</strong>re ano<strong>the</strong>r god besides <strong>All</strong>ah? Say: "Bring your proof if you are being truthful." (Surat an-<br />

Naml: 64)<br />

The <strong>Prophet</strong> (<strong>saas</strong>), who reminded his people that <strong>All</strong>ah was <strong>the</strong> only god, also told <strong>the</strong>m that nothing<br />

<strong>the</strong>y might set up alongside <strong>All</strong>ah could ever create anything nor had it any power to harm or benefit any.<br />

The verses regarding this are as follows:<br />

Say: "Call on those you make claims <strong>for</strong> apart from Him. They possess no power to remove any<br />

harm from you or to change anything." (Surat al-Isra': 56)<br />

Say: "Have you thought about those you call upon apart from <strong>All</strong>ah? Show me what <strong>the</strong>y have<br />

created on <strong>the</strong> earth. Or do <strong>the</strong>y have a partnership in <strong>the</strong> heavens? Produce a Book <strong>for</strong> me be<strong>for</strong>e this<br />

one or a shred of knowledge if you are telling <strong>the</strong> truth." (Surat al-Ahqaf: 4)<br />

Say: "Call on those you make claims <strong>for</strong> besides <strong>All</strong>ah. They have no power over even <strong>the</strong> smallest<br />

particle, ei<strong>the</strong>r in <strong>the</strong> heavens or in <strong>the</strong> earth. They have no share in <strong>the</strong>m. He has no need of <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

support." (Surah Saba': 22)<br />

Say: "Have you thought about your partner gods, those you call upon besides <strong>All</strong>ah? Show me what<br />

<strong>the</strong>y have created of <strong>the</strong> earth; or do <strong>the</strong>y have a partnership in <strong>the</strong> heavens?" Have We given <strong>the</strong>m a<br />

Book whose Clear Signs <strong>the</strong>y follow? No indeed! The wrongdoers promise each o<strong>the</strong>r nothing but<br />

delusion. (Surah Fatir: 40)<br />

Most people believe in <strong>All</strong>ah but are unable to appreciate His power and greatness, fail to comprehend<br />

that He is <strong>the</strong>ir only friend and helper, and wrongly believe that things o<strong>the</strong>r than <strong>All</strong>ah can be of assistance<br />

to <strong>the</strong>m. The <strong>Prophet</strong> (<strong>saas</strong>) explained <strong>the</strong>se truths to his people and attempted to free <strong>the</strong>m from idolatry.<br />

He is commanded in <strong>the</strong> verses:<br />

If you ask <strong>the</strong>m, "Who created <strong>the</strong> heavens and <strong>the</strong> earth?" They will say, "<strong>All</strong>ah." Say: "So what do<br />

you think? If <strong>All</strong>ah desires harm <strong>for</strong> me, can those you call upon besides <strong>All</strong>ah remove His harm? Or if He<br />

desires mercy <strong>for</strong> me, can <strong>the</strong>y withhold His mercy?" Say: "<strong>All</strong>ah is enough <strong>for</strong> me. <strong>All</strong> those who truly<br />

trust put <strong>the</strong>ir trust in Him." (Surat az-Zumar: 38)<br />
