Even if a gnat snatches something of him...

Even if a gnat snatches something of him; say, a drop of his blood, he is not able to get it back from the gnat. What sort of a god can we consider him, when he cannot create anything, while he himself has been created!? A god who has not any control over a loss or a profit, at least, for himself. A god that cannot ward off his own death, and has no power to maintain the life that has been bestowed on him.

If one is really so; why should others who are like himself, deify him and worship him as a god? When such false deities cannot be of any use to themselves, how can they help and support their worshipers, at least, in emergency cases. In this verse, the false gods have been qualified by the verbs, ``THEY DO NOT OWN'' and, ``THEY DO NOT CREATE'' which are in plural form and masculine gender, and apply not correctly to the idols.

[ 384 ] This implies that the verbs also alludes to deified men and women, such as Jesus (AS) and his mother Mary, and also to the deified angels.

The second and third verses refer to the unjust charges by which the non-believers accused our prophet, saying:ِ ``This is nothing but a forgery that he has forged it and that other people have helped him over it.'' ``These passages are primeval fairy-tales that he has copied them, and that they are dictated to him mornings and evenings.'' The non-believers shamelessly accused our truthful prophet whom they themselves had nicknamed; ``AMIN=TRUSTWORTHY'' and said that the revelation (i.e.

QURA"N) was not a revelation, and was a forgery! In other word, they meant all the logics, and reasonings for the Oneness of God, for the life after death, for the Resurrection Day, for the final judgement, and for the Paradise and Hell; are fanciful fairy-tales and have no basis in fact!

They also said that; ``The stories of the prophets that are cited in the Qura"n, and also the punishment or salvation of the wrong and right people which he has narrated, are all primeval fables, that he has copied them, and are no more than legendary matters of myth, that some of his companions such Salma"n Farsi, dictate to him mornings and evenings!'' By such scandals, they wanted to scatter the believers from around our prophet.

This was while everybody in that era, knew well that the Messenger of God never attended a school, and never learned to read and write, and never associated with the learned or unlearned Jews and Christians throughout his life.
