The Criterion
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.[25:3]
Yet have they taken, besides him, gods that can create nothing but are
themselves created; that have no control of hurt or good to themselves; nor can they
control death nor life nor resurrection.
* v.3 : This is the first great distinction taught by the Criterion; to know the attributes of the true God, as against the false fancies of men.
