KHILAFAT-E-R A SHIDAH 237 Some Precedents of the Holy Quran Now I will tell you that such types of proverbial sayings are present in the Holy Quran. Hadrat Shuaib as said: (Al-A‘r a f, 7:90) “And it behoves us not to return thereto except that Allah, our Lord should so will. ” When the infidels asked Hadrat Shuaib as to join them, he said that it was totally impossible to join their religion except that his God should so will. Now can anybody say that it was possible to make Hadrat Shuaib as an infidel? Surely it was not possible for him to be an infidel, because he was a Prophet of Allah, the Almighty. The purpose was to demonstrate the position and greatness of Allah, the Almighty. It was impossible for him to be an infidel. There is no greatness of his self, but this position he had achieved was only by the help of Allah, the Almighty. This virtue vanishes if He is not there. Similarly Allah, the Almighty made the Holy Prophet sa speak such words. The Holy Quran reveals: (Al-Zukhruf, 43:82) “ O Muhammad sa , tell the people that if there had been a son of God, you would have been the first of the worshipers. ”
