The Prophet Muhammad (saas)

Most people believe in Allah but are unable to appreciate His
power and greatness, fail to comprehend that He is their only friend and

helper, and wrongly believe that things other than Allah can be of assis-
tance to them. The Prophet (saas) explained these truths to his people
and attempted to free them from idolatry. He is commanded in the
verses:

Allah created man, and is his only
friend and helper. Yet, people who have
no fear of Him refuse to accept that. Only in
