Peace all.
I will add another reflection here by quoting verses from Qoran that need pondering about following/taking on others as authority/idolising humans and setting up partners with GOD . Mixing GOD s religion with men s sources and fabrications:
On the day when we summon them all, we will say to those who followed/idolised idols, "We have summoned you, together with your idols." We will have them confront each other, and their idols will say to them, "We had no idea that you idolized us.
وَيَومَ نَحشُرُهُم جَميعًا ثُمَّ نَقولُ لِلَّذينَ أَشرَكوا مَكانَكُم أَنتُم وَشُرَكاؤُكُم فَزَيَّلنا بَينَهُم وَقالَ شُرَكاؤُهُم ما كُنتُم إِيّانا تَعبُدونَ
"God suffices as a witness between us and you, that we were completely unaware of your idolising/ worshiping us."
فَكَفىٰ بِاللَّهِ شَهيدًا بَينَنا وَبَينَكُم إِن كُنّا عَن عِبادَتِكُم لَغٰفِلينَ
That is when each soul will examine everything it had done. They will be returned to God, their rightful Lord and Master, and the idols they had fabricated will disown them.
هُنالِكَ تَبلوا كُلُّ نَفسٍ ما أَسلَفَت وَرُدّوا إِلَى اللَّهِ مَولىٰهُمُ الحَقِّ وَضَلَّ عَنهُم ما كانوا يَفتَرونَ
Say, "Who provides for you from the heaven and the earth? Who controls all the hearing and the eyesight? Who produces the living from the dead, and the dead from the living? Who is in control of all things?" They would say, "God." Say, "Why then do you not observe the words of GOD/ commandments?"
قُل مَن يَرزُقُكُم مِنَ السَّماءِ وَالأَرضِ أَمَّن يَملِكُ السَّمعَ وَالأَبصٰرَ وَمَن يُخرِجُ الحَىَّ مِنَ المَيِّتِ وَيُخرِجُ المَيِّتَ مِنَ الحَىِّ وَمَن يُدَبِّرُ الأَمرَ فَسَيَقولونَ اللَّهُ فَقُل أَفَلا تَتَّقونَ
Such is God, your rightful Lord. What is there after the truth, except falsehood? How could you disregard all this?
فَذٰلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمُ الحَقُّ فَماذا بَعدَ الحَقِّ إِلَّا الضَّلٰلُ فَأَنّىٰ تُصرَفونَ
This is what your Lord's decision does to those who choose to be wicked: they cannot believe.
كَذٰلِكَ حَقَّت كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ عَلَى الَّذينَ فَسَقوا أَنَّهُم لا يُؤمِنونَ
Reflect on Your Idols
Say, "Can any of your idols initiate creation, then repeat it?" Say, "God initiates the creation, then repeats it. [How could you deviate?]*"
قُل هَل مِن شُرَكائِكُم مَن يَبدَؤُا۟ الخَلقَ ثُمَّ يُعيدُهُ قُلِ اللَّهُ يَبدَؤُا۟ الخَلقَ ثُمَّ يُعيدُهُ فَأَنّىٰ تُؤفَكونَ
Say, "Does any of your idols guide to the truth?" Say, "God guides to the truth. Is one who guides to the truth more worthy of being followed, or one who does not guide, and needs guidance for himself? What is wrong with your judgment?"
قُل هَل مِن شُرَكائِكُم مَن يَهدى إِلَى الحَقِّ قُلِ اللَّهُ يَهدى لِلحَقِّ أَفَمَن يَهدى إِلَى الحَقِّ أَحَقُّ أَن يُتَّبَعَ أَمَّن لا يَهِدّى إِلّا أَن يُهدىٰ فَما لَكُم كَيفَ تَحكُمونَ
Most of them follow nothing but conjecture, and conjecture is no substitute for the truth. God is fully aware of everything they do.
وَما يَتَّبِعُ أَكثَرُهُم إِلّا ظَنًّا إِنَّ الظَّنَّ لا يُغنى مِنَ الحَقِّ شَيـًٔا إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَليمٌ بِما يَفعَلونَ
Only God Can Author the Quran
This Qoran could not possibly be authored by other than God. It confirms all previous messages, and provides a fully detailed scripture. It is infallible, for it comes from the Lord of the universe.
وَما كانَ هٰذَا القُرءانُ أَن يُفتَرىٰ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ وَلٰكِن تَصديقَ الَّذى بَينَ يَدَيهِ وَتَفصيلَ الكِتٰبِ لا رَيبَ فيهِ مِن رَبِّ العٰلَمينَ
If they say, "He fabricated it," say, "Then produce one sura like these, and invite whomever you wish, other than God, if you are truthful."
أَم يَقولونَ افتَرىٰهُ قُل فَأتوا بِسورَةٍ مِثلِهِ وَادعوا مَنِ استَطَعتُم مِن دونِ اللَّهِ إِن كُنتُم صٰدِقينَ
Indeed, they have rejected this without studying and examining it, and before understanding it. Thus did those before them disbelieve. Therefore, note the consequences for the transgressors.
بَل كَذَّبوا بِما لَم يُحيطوا بِعِلمِهِ وَلَمّا يَأتِهِم تَأويلُهُ كَذٰلِكَ كَذَّبَ الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِهِم فَانظُر كَيفَ كانَ عٰقِبَةُ الظّٰلِمينَ
Some of them believe (in this scripture), while others disbelieve in it. Your Lord is fully aware of the evildoers.
وَمِنهُم مَن يُؤمِنُ بِهِ وَمِنهُم مَن لا يُؤمِنُ بِهِ وَرَبُّكَ أَعلَمُ بِالمُفسِدينَ
May the Lord guide us and save us from idol worship.
GOD bless you all.
Peace.
