Coronavirus and Earthly gods

Coronavirus and Fake gods

 By: GH Saeed

The word "associate" literally means part or share. So partner means partner or partner!

In the Quran, the Lord of the Universe has said that:

قُلْ اَرَاَيْتُـمْ شُرَكَآءَكُمُ الَّـذِيْنَ تَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّـٰهِ ؕ اَرُوْنِىْ مَاذَا خَلَقُوْا مِنَ الْاَرْضِ اَمْ لَـهُـمْ شِرْكٌ فِى السَّمَاوَاتِۚ

Say: Have you seen your gods whom you invoke besides Allah, show me what they have created in the earth or whatever part of them is in the heavens (Surah 22 Surah Fatir: 40)?

اِنَّ اللّـٰهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ اَنْ يُّشْرَكَ بِهٖ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُوْنَ ذٰلِكَ لِمَنْ يَّشَآءُ ۚ وَمَنْ يُّشْرِكْ بِاللّـٰهِ فَقَدِ افْـتَـرٰٓى اِثْمًا عَظِيْمًا

Verily Allah does not forgive those who associate Him with Him, and He forgives whomsoever He wills besides the polytheists.

 وَلَعَبْدٌ مُّؤْمِنٌ خَيْـرٌ مِّنْ مُّشْرِكٍ وَّلَوْ اَعْجَبَكُمْ 

The believing slave is better than the polytheist though he may like you (Surah al-Baqarah 221) 

لَا تُشْرِكْ بِاللّـٰهِ ۖ اِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِـيْمٌ 

Do not associate anyone with Allah. Indeed, associating with others is a great injustice.

مَاکَانَ لِلْمُشْرِکِیۡنَ اَنۡ یَّعْمُرُوۡا مَسٰجِدَ اللہِ شٰہِدِیۡنَ عَلٰۤی اَنۡفُسِہِمْ بِالْکُفْرِؕ 

The polytheists do not have the right to settle in the mosque of Allah while testifying against themselves. (P. 10, V. 17)  

اَمْ لَہُمْ اٰلِہَۃٌ تَمْنَعُہُمۡ مِّنۡ دُوۡنِنَا ؕ لَا یَسْتَطِیۡعُوۡنَ نَصْرَ اَنۡفُسِہِمْ وَ لَا ہُمۡ مِّنَّا یُصْحَبُوۡنَ ۔

Translation: Do they have some God who saves them from us, they cannot save their lives nor do they have any problem with our ways.

In this verse the idolaters deny the same belief that our gods can save us by confronting God.

The reality of polytheism

The reality of polytheism is equal with the Lord, that is, unless one is known to the Lord, then there will be no polytheism.

تَاللہِ اِنۡ کُنَّا لَفِیۡ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِیۡنٍ

Translation: By Allah, we were in open error that you were equal to the Koran. (P 19, ill: 97)

There are a few ways to know that one is to be treated as God, just as Christians considered Jesus and the Jews Ezra as sons of God, and the Arabs considered the Arab angels as daughters of God. It is the equivalent of the father's jeans. So the believer would be a polytheist.

Everyone knows that God is the only One who has the power over everything. And he does not need any helper, yet some people believe that the creator of every particle is Allah, but he is not able to handle such a large universe alone, so he has to force some of his servants. Servants are chosen for the administration of the universe, such as the earthly kings and their departments, who, although it is human beings who have been entrusted with the management of the universe, recommend to us before the Lord even though they are slaves. This is the polytheism in which many of the polytheists of the Arabs were arrogant and worshiped idols, Lat, Manat, Uzza etc. as servants of the Lord and the Creator of the Lord of all the worlds.

Believing that God created beings will ease our problems, is a clear and definite shirk.

Therefore, it is shirk to consider and honor one of the creatures possessing God-like powers.

Not only in Pakistan but all over the world there are countless human handmade shrines, sculptures, sculptures or idols that are not only worshiped but also offered to various types of objects. They are also prostrated and in Pakistan we have heard that there are courtiers where people also perform regular pilgrimages.

Good for preventing it No matter what your heart is, no one will believe. Since all these courtiers are sitting idle and somehow beneficiaries, they promote them by explaining the false deeds of these courtiers, how will they earn millions, billions of rupees if they do not do so? They also know that no one ever gets anything from these courtiers. But just as no one can close a profitable factory or business, they will never close their courtyard factories. And in promoting these myths there are many so-called ignorant men of the ignorant kind who usually share their stories by telling stories of their false deeds.

اِنَّ اللّـٰهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ اَنْ يُّشْـرَكَ بِهٖ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُوْنَ ذٰلِكَ لِمَنْ يَّشَآءُ ۚ وَمَنْ يُّشْـرِكْ بِاللّـٰهِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَالًا بَعِيْدًا ۔ سورۃ النساء: 116

Translation: Indeed Allah does not forgive anyone who associates with Him, and forgives whom He wills other than Him.

Surely Allah is Able to do all things. The obvious example of this is the pestilence of the Corona virus that is spreading all over the world these days that thousands of people have died, but no human being possessed by any of the earthly Gods and other self-made divine powers has quenched the wrath and anger of God. In the world of compulsion, followers of every religion fell prostrate before the Creator. That is the power of this Lord.

So this life is temporary and death is sure to end, then it is sure to appear before the Creator of the universe. So we all need to correct our belief in God.

Otherwise hell is definitely waiting for us.
