The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Koran: no authority over you. I only called you, and ye did answer me; then
blame me not, but blame yourselves; I cannot help you, nor can you
help me. I disbelieved in your associating me (with God) before;
verily, the wrong-doers, for them is grievous woe!'
But I will cause those who believe and do aright to enter gardens
beneath which rivers flow, to dwell therein for aye by the
permission of their Lord; their salutation therein is 'Peace!'
Dost thou not see how God strikes out a parable? A good word is like
a good tree whose root is firm, and whose branches are in the sky;
it gives its fruit at every season by the permission of its Lord-
but God strikes out parables for men that haply they may be mindful.
