Therefore, the first lesson that we can take from FORGHA"N, is how to differentiate between the true God who has created everything, and Who owns everything; against the false gods, such as the idols, and the fetishes that are forged by some selfish profiteers. The difference between FORGHA"N and QURA"N is said to be in that; [ 382 ] QURA"N refers to the whole Book of Allah whereas FORGHA"N refers to the fundamental verses of the Book.
Worthy of note is that the final object of sending FORGHA"N to the Messenger of God is to warn mankind. This means that Qura"n is a universal Message of God for all mankind in all times and spaces. وَاتَّخَذُوا مِنْ دُونِهِ آلِهَةً لاَّ يَخْلُقُونَ شَيْئاً وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ وَلاَ يَمْلِكُونَ لاَِنفُسِهِمْ ضَرّاً وَلاَ نَفْعاً وَلاَ يَمْلِكُونَ مَوْتاً وَلاَ حَيَاةً وَلاَ نُشُوراً(( 3 )) 3- AND THEY TOOK APART FROM HIM, GODS THAT THEY CREATED NOTHING, AND THEMSELVES ARE CREATED.
AND THEY HAVE NO POWER TO HURT OR PROFIT THEMSELVES, AND THEY DO NOT OWN THE POWER OF DEATH OR LIFE, AND NOR RESURRECTION. وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِنْ هَذَا إِلاَّ إِفْكٌ افْتَرَاهُ وَأَعَانَهُ عَلَيْهِ قَوْمٌ آخَرُونَ فَقَدْ جَاءُوا ظُلْماً وَزُوراً(( 4 )) 4- AND THOSE WHO HAVE NOT BELIEVED, SAID:ِ ``THIS IS NOTHING EXCEPT A FORGERY THAT HE HAS FORGED IT, AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HELPED HIM OVER IT. THEY INDEED HAVE COME WITH OPPRESSION, AND GREAT LIE.
وَقَالُوا أَسَاطِيرُ الاَْوَّلِينَ اكْتَتَبَهَا فَهِىَ تُمْلَى عَلَيْهِ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلا(( 5 )) 5- AND THEY ALSO SAID:ِ``(THOSE PASSAGES ARE) PRIMEVAL FAIRY TALES THAT HE HAS COPIED THEM, AND THEY ARE DICTATED TO HIM MORNING AND EVENING.'' [ 383 ] قُلْ أَنزَلَهُ الَّذِى يَعْلَمُ السِّرَّ فِى السَّموَاتِ وَالاَْرْضِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفُوراً رَّحِيماً(( 6 )) 6- SAY HE SENT IT DOWN WHO KNOWS THE SECRET IN THE HEAVENS AND EARTH. FOR, HE IS THE ALL-FORGIVING, COMPASSIONATE.
THE COMMENTARY VARIOUS CALUMNIES VERSE NO.3ِ6 The first verse here (NO.3) calls the polytheist to the court of human conscience for a just judgement, and meanwhile it stings, and reproaches, with a clear logic and a knocking down reason, that:ِ ``They took apart from Him gods, that can create nothing and themselves are created.
And they have no power to hurt or to profit themselves....'' Here a criterion has been given to us in order to know the true God from the false onesِA false god cannot create anything, be it as big as an elephant, or as small as a gnat.
