But they have adopted gods apart from Him which do not create
anything but are themselves created. They have no power to harm
or help themselves. They have no power over death or life or
resurrection. (Qur'an, 25:3)
Instead of Allah, he calls on something which cannot harm him or
help him. That is extreme misguidance. (Qur'an, 22:12)
They worship besides Allah something for which no authority
has come down, something about which they have no knowledge.
There is no helper for the wrongdoers. (Qur'an, 22:71)
They worship, instead of Allah, what can neither harm them nor
help them, saying, 'These are our intercessors with Allah.' Say:
'Would you inform Allah of something about which He does not
know either in the heavens or on the earth?' May He be glorified
and exalted above what they associate with Him! (Qur'an, 10:18)
THEY ACT ON SUPPOSITION
AND CONJECTURE
Yes, indeed! Everyone in the heavens and everyone on the earth
belongs to Allah. Those who call on something other than Allah
are not really following their partner-gods. They are only following
conjecture. They are only guessing. (Qur'an, 10:66)
They say, 'There is nothing but our existence in this world. We die
and we live and nothing destroys us except for time.' They have
no knowledge of that. They are only conjecturing. (Qur'an, 45:24)
Those who associate others with Allah will say, 'If Allah had willed
we would not have associated anything with Him, nor would our
fathers; nor would we have made anything forbidden.' In the same
way the people before them also lied until they felt Our violent
force. Say: 'Do you have some knowledge you can produce for
us? You are following nothing but conjecture. You are only
guessing.' (Qur'an, 6:148)
Most of them follow nothing but conjecture. Conjecture is of no use
whatsoever against the truth. Allah most certainly knows what
they are doing. (Qur'an, 10:36)
