Volume 10 Surah 12 - 15 - Enjoy Islam

Ibrahīm (Abraham) | GRACE AND GRATITUDE
be Muslims. It is a complete way of life that comprises all the necessary details for
daily life. Submission to God’s law in the details of daily life, as well as in basic
principles and concepts, is the core of the divine faith. It is Islam in its true sense,
which is the only form acceptable to God.
As stated earlier, polytheism does not only take the form of believing in multiple
deities and claiming that they are God’s partners. It is instead the acknowledgement
of other lords alongside Him. Idol worship is represented in adopting banners and
slogans which are given the same sort of authority as belonged to idols of old. People
everywhere then must examine their lives to determine whom they actually submit
to. If they submit totally to God, obeying His orders and laws to the exclusion of any
other, then they follow the divine faith. If not, then they have a religion based on idol
worship. This is a terrible situation indeed.
This is a message to all mankind. Let them be warned thereby, and let them know that
He is the One and Only God. Let those who are endowed with insight take heed.
(Verse 52)
