Were they created of nothing, or were they themselves the creators?
Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Surely, they have no
firm belief.
Or are the treasures of your Lord with them, or have they control over
them? (At-Tur, 35-37)

The first error a prejudiced person makes is trying to evaluate
religion without giving thought to Allah. Sociologists, for example,
who do research on religion, can write thousands of books on how
religions arose and how they affected societies sociologically. Yet,
in spite of all these great academic studies, they cannot understand
religion even to a minute extent when compared with those who lead
their lives within the boundaries of religion.

Such people are not capable of comprehending the reality of Allah’s
unity, which is the basis of religion. Anyone who decides to learn
about Islam needs first to understand the existence of Allah. If he
does not believe in Allah, he will simply be investigating the Qur’an
and Muslims in terms of his own limited vision of life.
