SuB-Footnote Number Three 325 in support of Islam and its glory and power—if there are some other people who share in the working of the affairs of God’s universe, or if the available means suffice for everything then they should call those for help whom they claim to be the associates of God. And remember, they will never be able to resolve their problems, nor remove any afflic- tion from them. ’ O Messenger, say to these pagans: ‘Call those whom you associate in the worship of Allah to help you against me. Adopt whatever plan you can to defeat me and give me no respite at all. But bear in mind that my Supporter and Helper and the Accomplisher of my work is that God who has revealed the Quran. He alone accomplishes the works of His true and righteous Messengers. But those from whom you seek help are neither able to help you nor can they help themselves. ’ Then after this, it [the Holy Quran] establishes through the law of nature that God is free from every shortcoming and deficiency, and says: 1 اخل ُحِّبَسُت ُهَل ُتٰوٰمَّسلا ُعْبَّسلا َو ُضْرَاْلا َو ْنَم َّنِهْيِف. Meaning that, all seven heavens and the earth and everything that exists therein glorifies God; there is nothing that does not glorify Him, but you do not understand their glorifications. This means that reflecting upon the heavens and the earth proves that God is Perfect and Holy and is without sons or associates, but only for those who possess understanding. Thereafter, those who are partially engrossed in creature-worship are confuted and their being in error is brought to light; it is said: 2 اخل اوُلاَق َذَخَّتا ُهّٰللا اًدَلَو ٗهَنٰحْبُس١ؕ َوُه ُّيِنَغْلا. 1.
