Sun Worship

Another similarity between the beliefs of modern evolutionists
and those of past pagan societies is that both are based on sun
worship. Sun worship goes back to the earliest periods of history.
People knew the sun provided them with light and heat, so they felt
indebted to this celestial body and considered it a god. In the past this
deviant belief kept many people away from AllŒh's true religion. The
Qur’Œn touches on this subject telling how the people of Sheba
worshipped the sun in Solomon's time:

It is true that the sun provides the world with light and heat, but
the one who deserves credit for this is AllŒh, who created the sun. The
sun is a material mass without consciousness; there was a time when it
did not exist, and there will be one when its fuel will be exhausted and
it will be extinguished. Perhaps AllŒh will destroy it even before that
day. For He created the sun from nothing, like all heavenly bodies,
and therefore it is AllŒh who should be praised and glorified for their
existence. In one verse the reality is expressed in these words:
