4. Doing these things while being unaware of their gross sin by simply not studying the Quran carefully (as God commanded us) or following their ancestors ways. [7:173] Nor can you say, “It was our parents who practiced idolatry, and we simply followed in their footsteps. Will You punish us because of what others have innovated?” [12:106] The majority of those who believe in GOD do not do so without committing idol worship. [6:22] On the day when we summon them all, we will ask the idol worshipers, “Where are the idols you set up?” [6:23] Their disastrous response will be, “By GOD our Lord, we never were idol worshipers.” [6:24] Note how they lied to themselves, and how the idols they had invented have abandoned them. [2:165] Yet, some people set up idols to rival GOD, and love them as if they are GOD. Those who believe love GOD the most. If only the transgressors could see themselves when they see the retribution! They will realize then that all power belongs to GOD alone, and that GOD’s retribution is awesome. In the end, I concluded my argument with a few other verses as a reminder and a manifest warning so they may take heed.
