Friday 19 September 2008 (19 Ramadan 1429)
The surah also discusses the oneness of God, giving the voice of denunciation of polytheism to the man who came from the farthest end of town. It is he who argues with his people about their denial of God’s messengers: “Why should I not worship the One who has brought me into being? It is to Him that you will all return. Should I worship other deities besides Him? If the Lord of Grace should will that harm befall me, their intercession will avail me nothing, nor will they save me. Indeed, I should clearly be in error.” The same point is emphasized again toward the end of the surah: “Yet they have taken to worship deities other than God, hoping for (their) support. They are unable to support them; yet their worshippers stand like warriors to defend them.”
