The Winnowing Winds
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[51:9]
perverted in his views thereon is he who would deceive himself!

* v.9 : Lit., “perversely turned away from this [truth] is he who is made to lie” – or, according to the Tāj al-‘Arūs, “he who is perverted in his reason and opinion,” i.e., who is a priori disposed to deceive himself: implying that belief in God and, hence, in life after death is inherent in man’s mind and feeling, and that, therefore, a departure from this belief is but an outcome of intellectual perversion.
