The Troops
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE
[39:45]
And yet, whenever God alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who will not believe in the life to come contract with bitter aversion – whereas, when those [imaginary powers] are mentioned side by side with Him, lo, they rejoice!


* v.45 : Since a cognition of God must have a sense of moral responsibility as its correlate, the godless shrink from it, and joyfully turn to the “worship” – real or metaphoric – of imaginary powers which make no such moral demand.
