[ commentary by mufti waseem khan , part 14 ]
friends , dato and tansri,
Lo! Allah is the Knower of the Unseen of the heavens and the earth. Lo! He is Aware of the secret of (men's) breasts. (38) He it is Who hath made you regents in the earth; so he who disbelieveth, his disbelief be on his own head. Their disbelief increaseth for the disbelievers, in their Lord's sight, naught save abhorrence. Their disbelief increaseth for the disbelievers naught save loss. (39) Say: Have ye seen your partner-gods to whom ye pray beside Allah? Show me what they created of the earth! Or have they any portion in the heavens? Or have We given them a scripture so they act on clear proof therefrom? Nay, the evil-doers promise one another only to deceive. (40) Lo! Allah graspeth the heavens and the earth that they deviate not, and if they were to deviate there is not one that could grasp them after Him. Lo! He is ever Clement, Forgiving. (41) And they swore by Allah, their most binding oath, that if a warner came unto them they would be more tractable than any of the nations; yet, when a warner came unto them it aroused in them naught save repugnance, (42) [ translation by pickthal ]
the post modern man, of what ever religious persuasion he come from, will proudly turn around and say, ' we are monotheistic......', but their gods have changed. even the hindus, in essense insist that they are monotheistic.
it is in the dollars sign, the power and forces of nature, the love of their own bodies and materialism, the man-made constitution, etc , etc and etc.
these are the post modern man's gods.
allah? yes, if HE is present, HE is in the background,..... 'on leave!'
