               sponse is frequently encountered in societies that are far from
               religion and is often used to justify superstition, although it has
               no foundation in the face of divine religion. In the continuation
               of these verses, the Prophet Abraham (pbuh) calls his tribe to
               faith and introduces them to our Lord:

                    "They are all my enemies—except for the Lord of all the
                    worlds: He Who created me and guides me; He Who gives
                    me food and drink; and when I am ill, He heals me; He
                    Who will cause my death and then give me life; He Who I
                    sincerely hope will forgive my mistakes on the Day of
                    Reckoning." (Surat ash-Shu'ara:  77-82)
                    As Allah states in the Qur'an, the Prophet Abraham's
               (pbuh) tribe frequently stated their determination to persist in
                                          their paganism. He responded by

                                               praising our Lord with His
                                                   finest names. Only Allah
                                                     creates or destroys
                                                       everything in the uni-
                                                       verse, animate or
                                                       inanimate. Only He
                                                       gives all blessings on
                                                       Earth for the service
                                                       of humanity and pro-
