Verse 18Verses 15-17

      Some idolaters said to the prophet:ِ ``It is far difficult for us to leave aside our great idols, such as HOBAL, LOT or MANOT. If you really want us to believe and follow you, then bring us another QURÄN, or at least change that, so as to ignore us leaving the idols.''

      In answer to them the above verses revealed.

      The answer is a clear cut and strict one:ِ ``I can't do that of my own accord. There is no least room for your idols and idolatries in my religion. I will never disobey my Lord because I can't withstand His rage and wrath. This is because I have no authority of myself. I only follow that which is inspired to me.''

      Mohammad had lived a life time of forty years amongst his people with utmost piety and virtueِso much so that his people gave him the beautiful title; AMEEN=TRUSTWORTHY. During the whole life of 40 years, he had said nothing of such a Divine Message that he conveyed later on.

      Mohammad indeed believed that no one is more unjust than he who may forge a lie against God or belie His signs and symptoms.

      God in His universal plan Has to reveal himself to his creatures, and in particular to Man who is superior to most of the creatures; and for this purpose His Messenger is the best means.

      The Arabic; ``QURÄN'' means reading, but technically it is a term given to the Sacred Religious Book of Muslims, which God has inspired it to His Messenger Mohammad (AS). The Book consists of God's Message to mankind.

      The polytheists asked the prophet to either change it or bring another book that has no objection to idolatry, but he strictly rejected their request, and how could a truthful man like him change the truth for falsehood or the right for wrong?
