It is they that are the rebellious. Commentary: Man forgets God in three ways 1. He rejects the very belief in the existence of God. 2. He has no real, true or living belief in a Supreme Being before Whom he shall have to render an account of his deeds. 3. Forgetfulness. The inevitable and never-failing consequence of consigning God to oblivion is that man gets involved in matters which bring about his moral degradation and spiritual downfall, ending with loss of peace of mind.
