THE PROMISED MESSIAH AND MAHDI. Surely, Allah will not forgive that a partner be associated with Him; but He will forgive whatever is short of that to whomsoever He pleases. And whoso associates partners with Allah has indeed devised a very great sin. (4:49). And call not on any other God beside Allah. There is no God but He. Everything will perish but He. His is the judgment, and to. Him will you all be brought back. (28:89). And to Allah alone belong all perfect attributes. So call on. Him by these attributes. And leave alone those who deviate from the right way with respect to His attributes. They shall be requitted for what they do. (7:181). Surely, those whom you call on beside Allah are creatures like you. Then call on them and let them answer you, if you are truthful. Have they feet wherewith they walk, or have they hands. wherewith they hold, or have they eyes wherewith they see or have they ears wherewith they hear? (7:196). . And of His signs are the night and the day and the sun and the moon. Prostrate not yourselves before the sun, nor before the moon, but prostrate yourselves before Allah, Who created them, if it is Him. Whom you really worship. (41:38). O People of the Book! exceed not the limits in your religion, and say not of Allah anything but the truth. Verily the Messiah, Jesus. son of Mary, was only a Messenger of Allah, and a fulfillment of His. Word which He sent down to Mary, and a mercy from Him. So believe in Allah and His Messengers, and say not 'they are three'. . Desist, it will be better for you. Verily Allah is the only One God. . Holy is He, far above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the earth. And sufficient is Allah as a Guardian. (4:172). And there are some among men who take for themselves. objects of worship other than Allah, loving them as they should love. Allah. But believers are stronger in their love for Allah. And if those who transgress could now see the time when they shall see the punishment, they would realize that all power belongs to Allah and that Allah is severe in punishing. (2:166) 210
