LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN


             Or do they have some god other than God? Glory be to God above
             any idol they propose! (Surat at-Tur, 43)
             (The man who believed said to his people,) ‘You call me to reject

             God and to associate something with Him about which I have no
             knowledge, while I call you to the Almighty, the Endlessly Forgiv-
             ing.’ (Surah Ghafir, 42)
             God does not forgive anything being associated with Him but He
             forgives whoever He wills for anything other than that. Anyone who
             associates something with God has committed a terrible crime.
             (Surat an-Nisa’, 48)

             Say: ‘What thing is greatest as a witness?’ Say: ‘God. He is Witness
             between me and you. This Qur’an has been revealed to me so that I
             may warn you by it, and anyone else it reaches. Do you then bear
             witness that there are other gods together with God?’ Say: ‘I do not
             bear witness.’ Say: ‘He is only One God, and I am free of all you
             associate with Him.’ (Surat al-An’am, 19)
             On the Day We gather them all together, We will say to those who
             associated others with God, ‘Where are the partner-gods, for

             whom you made such claims?’ (Surat al-An’am, 22)
             That is God’s guidance. He guides by it those of His servants He
             wills. If they had associated others with Him, nothing they did
             would have been of any use. (Surat al-An’am, 88)
             Say: ‘My Lord has forbidden indecency, both open and hidden, and

             wrong action, and unrightful tyranny, and associating anything
             with God for which He has sent down no authority, and saying
             things about God you do not know.’ (Surat al-A’raf, 33)
             Do they make things into partner-gods which cannot create any-
             thing and are themselves created? (Surat al-A’raf, 191)
