the true religion. The sit-
uation of such individu-
als is described in these
terms in the Qur’an:

Say: “Who provides for you out of heaven and Earth? Who controls
hearing and sight? Who brings forth the living from the dead and the
dead from the living? Who directs the whole affair?” They will say,
“God.” Say, “So will you not guard against evil?” That is God, your
Lord, the Truth, and what is there after truth except misguidance? So
how have you been distracted? (Surah Yunus: 31-32)

God, Who has bestowed on us the senses of smell and taste, has
also created a wide range of smells and tastes for us to per-
ceive with these senses. This is just one of God’s countless
blessings. Everyone who reflects on these blessings must
give thanks to our Lord.
