“They worship beside God that which neither hurts them nor profits them, and they say: these are our intercessors with God. Say: Would you inform God of that he knows not in the heavens or in the earth? Praised be He and high exalted above all that you associate with Him!” (Quran 10:19) “Say: Shall I seek another than God for Lord, when He is Lord of all things?” (Quran 6:165) "Say: Can you see yourselves, if the punishment of God comes upon you or the Hour comes upon you, calling upon other then God? Do you then call to any other than God? (Reply) if you are truthful." (Quran 6:40) “And lo! Of his persuasion verily was Abraham when he came to his Lord with a pure heart; when he said unto his father and his people; What is it that you worship? Is it a falsehood beside God that you desire? What then is your opinion of the Lord of the Worlds? And he glanced a glance at the stars. Then said: Lo! I feel sick! And they turned their backs and went away from him (for fear of disease). Then turned he to their gods and said: Will you not eat? What aileth you that you speak not? Then he attacked them, striking with his right hand. And his people came toward him hastening. He said: Worship that which you yourselves carve when God has created you and what you make?” (Quran 37:83-96) “(Joseph said): O my two companions of the prison! Are diverse lords better, or God, The One, The Irresistible? Those whom you worship beside Him are but names you have named, you and your fathers. God has revealed no sanction for them. The decision rests with God only, Who commands you that you worship none save Him. That is right religion, but most men know not.” (Quran 12:39-40) |
