43:15 - Yet they attribute to some of His servants a share with Him (in His godhead)! Truly is man a
blasphemous ingrate avowed! 4620
4620 As a contrast to the men of true understanding are the ungrateful blasphemous creatures, who offer a share to others
besides Allah! They imagine sons and daughters to Allah, and forget the true lesson of the whole of Creation, which
points to the Unity of Allah. This theme is further developed in the following Section. (43.15)
46:5 - And who is more astray than one who invokes besides Allah such as will not answer him to
the Day of Judgement and who (in fact) are unconscious of their call (to them)? 4779
4779 As there is no argument at all in favour of your sham worship, what sense is there in it? Either your false gods are
senseless stocks and stones which will never answer you to the end of Time, being themselves devoid of
understanding, or they are real objects which will disown you at the last. If you worshipped Self, your own misused
faculties will witness against you at the last (xli. 20-23). If you worshipped good men or prophets, like Jesus, they will
disown you (v. 119). Similarly, if you worshipped angels, they will disown you (xxxiv. 40-41). (46.5)
34:22 - Say: "Call upon other (gods) whom ye fancy besides Allah: they have no power not the
weight of an atom in the heavens or on earth; no (sort of) share have they therein nor is any of
them a helper to Allah. 38223823
3822 Other objects of worship, such as Self, or Money, or Power, or things we imagine will bring us luck or prosperity,
though they can do nothing of the kind. (34.22)
3823 The false gods have no power whatever either in heaven or on earth, either in influencing our spiritual life or our
ordinary worldly life. To suppose that they have some share, or that they can give some help to Allah, even though
Allah is Supreme, is both false and blasphemous. Allah is One and Supreme, without sharer, helper, or equal. (34.22)
61:14 - O ye who believe! be ye helpers of Allah: as said Jesus the son of Mary to the Disciples
"Who will be my helpers to (the work of) Allah?" Said the Disciples "We are Allah's helpers!"
Then a portion of the Children of Israel believed and a portion disbelieved: but We gave power
to those who believed against their enemies and they became the ones that prevailed.

5446 If we seek Allah's help, we must first help Allah's Cause, i.e., dedicate ourselves to Him entirely and without reserve.
This was also the teaching of Jesus, as mentioned in this verse. (61.14)
5447 See iii. 52, and n. 392; and for the Biblical reference, see the last note. The names of the twelve Disciples will be
found in Matt. x. 2-4. (61.14)
5448 A portion of the Children of Israel-the one that really cared for Truth-believed in Jesus and followed his guidance. But
the greater portion of them were hard hearted, and remained in their beaten track of formalism and false racial pride.
The majority seemed at first to have the upper hand when they thought they had crucified Jesus and killed his
Message. But they were soon brought to their senses. Jerusalem was destroyed by Titus in A.D. 70 and the Jews
have been scattered ever since. "The Wandering Jew" has become a bye-word in many literatures. On the other
hand, those who followed Jesus permeated the Roman Empire, brought many new races within their circle, and
through the Roman Empire, Christianity became the predominant religion of the world until the advent of Islam. So is it
promised to the people of Islam: they must prevail if they adhere to the Truth. Badr (A.H. 2) was a landmark against
Pagan Arabia; Qadisiya (A.H. 14) and Madain (A.H. 16) against the might of Persia: Yarmuk (A.H. 15) against the
might of the Byzantine Empire in Christian Syria; and Heliopolis (A.H. 19) against the same Empire in Christian Egypt
and Africa. These were symbols in external events. The moral and spiritual landmarks are less tangible, and more
gradual, but none the less real. Mark how the arrogance and power of Priesthood have been quelled; how superstition
and a belief in blind Fate have been checked; how the freedom of human individuals has been reconciled with the
sanctity of marriage in the law of Divorce; how the civil position of women has been raised; how temperance and
sobriety have been identified with religion; what impetus has been given to knowledge and experimental science; and
how economic reconstruction has been pioneered by rational schemes for the expenditure and distribution of wealth.
(61.14)
2:23 - And if ye are in doubt as to what We have revealed from time to time to Our servant then
produce a Surah like thereunto; and call your witnesses or helpers (if there are any) besides
Allah if your (doubts) are true. 42
42 How do we know that there is revelation, and that is from God? Here is a concrete test. The Teacher of God's Truth
has placed before you many Suras. Can you produce one like it? If there is any one besides God, who can inspire
spiritual truth in such noble language, produce your evidence. Or is it that your doubts are merely argumentative,
refractory, against your own inner light, or conscience? All true revelation is itself a miracle, and stands on its own
merits. (2.23)
2:270 - And whatever ye spend in charity or devotion be sure Allah knows it all. But the wrongdoers
have no helpers.
3:150 - Nay Allah is your Protector and He is the best of helpers.
