Many ancient statues of Buddha are truly gigantic. It is believed
that Buddha is honored by statues such as these. But no mat-
ter how large, they cannot save anyone from the coming
judgment of God. In the Qur'an (7: 191-192), God ad-
dresses pagan communities in these words: "Do they
make things into partner-gods which cannot cre-
ate anything and are themselves created; which
are not capable of helping them and cannot
even help themselves?"
