eople who put their faith in others besides Allah, imploring
them for mercy and trusting them, will not find what they
P P seek. This is why they feel lost and lonely, especially in mo-
ments of trouble. They feel hopeless, confused, and deserted by their
false deities in the face of this world's endless chaos and troubles.
Surat al-Isra' 22 proclaims: "Do not set up any other deity together
with Allah lest you become disgraced and forsaken." Allah left the
conceited garden owner stranded by removing all of his property and
wealth through an unexpected disaster. In this tragic moment, the gar-
den owner saw the truth and realized what a huge mistake he had
made.

themselves the owners of any power in the land can be made to realize
their helplessness instantly by the will of Allah. Such people cannot
help either themselves or those near to them. Everything is in Allah's
