EVER THOUGHT ABOUT THE TRUTH?

"He said: 'Do you then see whom you have been wor-
shipping, You and your fathers before you? For they are
enemies to me; not so the Lord and Cherisher of the
Worlds,
Who created me; it is He Who guides me;
Who gives me food and drink,
And when I am ill, it is He Who cures me;
Who will cause me to die, and then bring me back to life
again;
And Who, I hope, will forgive me my faults on the day of
Judgment.
O my Lord! Bestow wisdom on me, and join me with the
righteous Grant me honorable mention on the tongue of
truth among the latest generations. Make me one of the
inheritors of the Garden of Bliss. Forgive my father, for
he is among those astray. Do not let me be in disgrace on
the Day when men will be raised up – the Day in which
neither wealth nor sons will avail. " (Surat Ash-Shu'ara':
75-88)
The example of the comparison made between the person
who feels the comfort of serving Allah only and the person who
ascribes false partners to Allah, and therefore serves too many
gods, is given in the Qur'an as follows:
"Allah puts forth the parable of a man having many mas-
ters who are always at variance with each other, and a
man belonging entirely to one master: are those two
equal in comparison? Praise be to Allah! But most of
them have no knowledge." (Surat Az-Zumar: 29)
